Pencil and paper also has a hand-drawn, sketchy look, and you don’t have to write code!

Why does SN request my first name, last name, email address and username, and optional photo, and then have a 6+-step tutorial that you can’t escape early? Seems a bit much just for some notecards.

Why do they use a loop - does the 6502 not have a multiply instruction?

Very interesting! How does AirLab coverage compare to FlightStats? Does it know about delays and gate changes even for international flights?

15% faster - and how much faster would Java, Rust, or Python be?

I think it’s just a retroflex R, but when it’s preceded by tongue-forward th in “either,” it comes out almost like a flap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcrVeMYnOS4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice

Yes, the post I linked describes how to do that. It took time to learn. Nowadays I’d just do it with GPT!

This is why people should just run a small managed k8s cluster on GCP. This has worked super well for us. https://www.vmii.org/blog/2023/03/12/kubernetes/

On a Mac, command-tabbing to FF takes easily half a second when you have a few tabs open. Any fixes for that?

If anyone likes classical music, I run a site that 20,000 people per month use to find baroque music to perform, and we’d be happy to have help. Elasticsearch, Rails, Postgres, K8s. Interesting problems as we move from Google Sheets to pro

50 USD/mo was for 1 production Heroku app dyno (no db!), with no Redis or Sidekiq. On GKE we added Redis and Sidekiq, all duplicated for staging (on Spot VMs), for 58 USD/mo. (One single-zone cluster is free on GCP.)

I recently migrated a small Rails project (16,000 monthly users) from Heroku to Helm/Kubernetes, after having tried Fly.io and everything else. It was easy, and I like the peace of mind of zero-downtime deploys and non-beta infrastruct

Ohhh, I missed that "->" was the operator. I was typing "to" as in Google searches. Re dateless times, yes, I think the Soulver way is unambiguous but still human-friendly.

Very cool! Some ideas: 1. Doesn't seem to support area conversions (tried 400 square meters, 400 m^2, and abbreviations in between). 2. If I only give a time, it would be more useful if it gave a time-only result rather than defaulting
