And then you need to add another server to the infra / netops / tools team's maintenance burden and then they take it down for an upgrade and it doesn't come back up etc etc. I don't think outages/downtime are

At one of my old jobs, the bathroom was locked with a 4 digit code followed by the key symbol. We jokingly made up "Bathroom Code" as an interview question/to nerd snipe each other instead of working, which was "assuming

If you read reviews for kids foreign-language language books on Amazon, you'll see a fair amount of adults reading it for themselves mixed in. That's a little more self-directed but the vocab and sentence structure is organically

If you think about it, any response you get is a "200" by that definition since the server successfully gave you...something. The browser usually has no special handling for most response codes, so serving a 404 page with a 404 st

I would love to be able to have a native stable diffusion experience, my rx 580 takes 30s to generate a single image. But it does work after following https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/wiki...

I would love to hear about any of this. I couldn't find a clear migration path with some quick googling, but I managed to eventually track down the rules I need to get mostly compatible with my org's prettier formatting. Notably,

People like apocryphal stories about successful people. Celebrities, billionaires, professors. imo the story serves as a way to connect the reader to the article. The HN crowd tends to care less about these kinds of things, which is fine, b

I got a spin bike that came with spot for an iPad or comparable device, and paid $10/month for a peloton digital subscription. Sure I don't get to be on the leaderboard, but I'm saving $30/month and my bike was $900 inst

New York is possibly more lenient on these things, but after scrolling on the website I realized they allowed anything postmarked to you at the address. Fortunately I had just gotten a thank-you card in the mail with my name and address on

I had an algorithms class (6.006 or 046?) with Silvio Micali, who I learned partway through the semester was one of the first authors about these things. Anyway, he was a great professor. When talking through algorithms, he'd always st

Oh man, I had a similar experience with the keyboard and a large Japanese company, but I just got used to it. Going back and forth between my laptop at the company dorm(!) and work was disorienting. Really liked being able to hit " wit

I use stumpwm, but to be honest I think I barely added any config options. Sloppy mouse focus was one and another to take screenshots with flameshot. Sloppy mouse focus in particular is huge. Works well with a tiling wm imo. The cursor tell

My editors and code review tools do not format or highlight sql for me when it's embedded in other files - eg java. I find capitalized keywords to be very convenient. Of course at that point, I can't run sqfluff on it either but t

An old Japanese programmer told me that when he started out, they attempted to translate everything into Japanese. My memory is fuzzy (this conversation was 8 years ago) so take this as more of an example then exactly what he said. For exam

In school, we used to have "wiki races" when we were bored (I later googled this and we were far from the only ones). Pick a start and end article and race to see who got there first, verification via the back button on your brows

I just watched Falcon and the Winter Soldier so I'm mentally biased, but this reminds me (or _doesn't_, I guess) of the plot, specifically the GRC. Specifically how attitudes changed towards people who crossed borders to help out

I usually don't correct spelling but sake* (ends in an eh noise) gets me every time. Totally agree though. Conbini snacks and some canned alcohol were how I traveled on the shinkansen. A very enjoyable ritual :)

In NYC last year eggs were like 2.50-3.00/dozen on a bad day. Are you shopping somewhere crazy or are nyc and sf that disconnected? I mean, I have seen $10/dozen but they were some premium organic (not kidding) imported from Japan

My AP calc teacher was big into Leithold, specifically TC7 ( https://www.amazon.com/Calculus-7-Louis-Leithold/dp/06734691... ) when I had him. Claimed Stewart was useless, but he had a lot of strong opinions. I don&

I'd file it under things that initially sound ridiculous but make sense when you think about it. Which is fine by me, those are always interesting. It does remind me of shoes on the highway, which is more mundane than a limb but an oce

I've been running kitty and tmux for over a year now and if I have any issues with tmux I've been inured to them. Oh wait, I think a lot of kittens don't work and that might be related? What problems do you have?

What's silly about that? If I were just getting started with this kind of thing, I think this would've been a great post for me. As I haven't done this since an intro class in college, it was actually a nice quick refresher.
