I'm with you at least 2/3 of the way. My preferred stack is PRQL + DuckDB + Dagster. I evaluated the space for work at my current company (was originally only DE, handling ingests from ~300 sources across various systems, on order

I can recommend this this FF extension to get fine-grained video speed control, without a 2x speed cap (which often isn't fast enough) https://github.com/codebicycle/videospeed It has served me well for years and

I very much agree with English being a hodgepodge of confusing rules, especially those tense-related. Re rewtriting (3) though: does not the following suffice? "She must have been being watched". I can imagine an argument that &qu

About this: I have a relation who works for a relatively large upstream auto part supplier. I asked him somewhat jokingly about this fight club scene, and he immediately and unabashedly told me he'd been involved in a number of such co

I can't speak to "best", but I can say that I've been very happy with BazQux Reader. It has good keyboard shortcuts, is very fast, lets you make filters within your subscriptions, has a good in-reader article view, a goo

I apologize if this is too unsubstantive of a comment. I primarily want to say how much I like the parent comment's writing. It is very evocative — "the tea sat tangibly in my stomach", eg, is the sort of description I'd

Logic is my thing (although regrettably not what my supervisor has me doing; that's another can of worms). For me personally, the above is exactly correct. Logic is wonderful for me in large part because it's so far removed from t

I recently was gifted -- very, very generously! -- a Moonlander Mark I split, ortholinear keyboard [0] (made by the same company that previously made the Ergodox). It's genuinely fantastic, and I can't ever see myself going back t

My understanding is that TempleOS was/is regarded as a tremendous one-person achievement (although of course its author had some quite nonstandard beliefs). Whereas Urbit seems to be generally decried as fakery

As the other commenter replied: thank you for facing this head-on! Your statement now is commendable. Also — for anyone wanting to get accurate science reporting in the US (about COVID specifically, but I'd also say more generally), de

Here's a fun one — my (foreign) girlfriend graduated from a US undergrad, and stayed in the country over the summer to begin her US PhD. She was legally covered as being able to stay in the country in both directions by the grace perio

I don't have an answer for you, just wanted to pile on with my own experience and questions in the same vein. I find that a background noise app really helps me stay calm/lowers stress and anxiety, and I get a huge productivity bo

No. Absolutely not. Politics often impinges on human rights, yes. But human rights are not a subset of politics, and absolutely should not be couched in political terms. Issues that are rightly called political are those over which reasonab

Before anyone flags this for being "political": don't. This is about human rights, not politics. Don't conflate the two.

Agree with your first sentence. Unless you're being sarcastic (apologies if so, and no mean to offend if not), I take the opposite conclusion though, which seems borne out by reality. Public messaging and for social cohesion in service

The answer: yes, they could've. I had a professor who previously had been part of a US gov group that had been tasked with preparing for an attack on the electrical grid, all the way back in the tail end of the cold war. His impression

I very much agree with your general hope, and I also worry about bringing children into this world, though I haven't yet. I'm not as hopeful for technological solutions to societal ills, though -- it seems to me that most problems

Re your QAnon comment at the end -- I'm not sure if you saw, but it seems that (as of today) people are defending Q on HN as well :( Is disinformation against HN policies @dang, and if not, shouldn't it be?

by bonchicbongenre 6y ago
:( "reading the drops" isn't the sum total of the "research" one would do to see Q for what it is, and anyways, their content is not something I'm unaware of. I don't even know why I'm dignifying this

Exactly. I'm am very sad to read the grandparent comment. It's not pleasant that anyone could be so misguided, and especially to see such lunacy on HN. It's not incumbent on anyone to continually engage with and point-by-poin

Let's assume that final digits are uniformly distributed in such measurements (Benford's law says this isn't the case for first digits, but that's beside the point). Then P(last_digit in size 5 set) =1/2 for a singl

This. It is an intended feature, not a bug, and it's either willfully ignorant, stunningly uninformed, or intentionally malicious to obfuscate this. To whoever reflexively downvoted the parent comment just because it tells an uncomfort
