Curious why this isn't a pull request to ripgrep? Maybe it was, and rejected? It'd be nice to just have one tool, and this doesn't feel like it's a stretch to add to ripgrep.

One suggestion would be to make the carousel a bit slower to switch... I read pretty fast, but I was only able to read a few sentences in each one before it flipped to the next page.

Nice! That was a fun game back in the day. Interesting way of dealing with a narrower browser window, where the tiles "stack" instead of squeezing the images. Works pretty well, but it was nice to see them "click" into p

Thanks for the correction! I used to use it too (I use Obsidian [1] now). Also sorry it hasn't been updated. I kind of felt that while powerful, it was also too complicated some times. [1] https://obsidian.md

Unfortunate name collision with the macOS/iOS note taking app Quiver [1] which doesn't do diagrams, but does do LaTeX. [1] https://happenapps.com

I've done a lot with Lambda, but only with node and go. I've never hit the problem you found -- perhaps translating to another language would work? I've heard that a lot of pythonistas like go, and it doesn't look like

You might check out Okteto [1] -- it's a very nice service, nice free tier for checking it out. [1] https://okteto.com

Check out NHost [1], which isn't an exact match, but worth a look. What it gives you (currently) is Postgres via Hasura, which gives you (AMAZINGLY) easy GraphQL database access, along with a very nice auth service. And their entry le

Thanks, I didn't know that!

Or will they just put it into their "burgers"? Seems like the kind of thing they'd do. For the uninitiated: McD's used to fry their fries in lard, and then changed in the 90's to vegetable oil to lower cholesterol,

Just curious whether using noise-cancelling headphones gives you the same reaction? Or would you only notice it if you were moving?

If you like GP, you might want to check out Gene Expression Programming [1, 2]. A lot simpler to implement, with some nicer features. This excellent paper [3] has a lot of great ideas to get inspiration from (it uses GP). [1] https:&#x2F

I've been testing NHost the past few weeks, and I have to say that (A) it's fantastic, and (B) the support is even better. The combination of Postgres plus Hasura, plus a really nice smooth auth solution makes development and dep

Ok, thanks! I appreciate that. I'll bear your points in mind for future comments.

Thanks for the update... I guess I missed the idea that they're party games. Those totally fit that type of game.

Definitely not intended! My apologies. On re-reading it, it doesn't seem demeaning at all to me... but that's just my reading of it. I'd like to improve... what specifically seems demeaning to you?

Digging around just a little, these all seem to be secret-information games (where one person/some subset are one thing, the rest are something else). Oh, and drawing games. Anything else? I guess the secret-info ones are easy to co

XML can be a bear, but sometimes you need a bear. Phrase heard at conferences in the 90's/2000's: "XML is like violence. If it doesn't work, you're not using enough of it."

Wow, a free update... much appreciated. I figured that with a new number, it'd be an upgrade. And a loupe! Thanks so much! That was my number one request (that I never made).

Well done! How did you get them to work with simpler models?

What a great story! And congratulations on getting a great tool into use. Way back, I was getting to know about stock market analysis. I concluded that the recommended (technical) analysis was, by any individual recommender, just outside

I have nails which are (evidently) really hard; if I try to use the standard American 89-cent "Gem" cutter, I can squeeze the handles until they touch and it won't go through my nail. Mentioned this to a co-worker, and he poi

I like Numerical^2 for iOS because it remembers your last N calculations so you can go back and get something, and see what it entailed (it shows the entire calculation). Not having this ability made me delete Euclid. Numerical^2 also ha

You could, perhaps, make one shaped like a triangle instead of a square, with just the one side facing out from a corner into the room. The other two sides could be just translucent to give reflected light into the room.

Very cool, love their choice of designs. I'm guessing that it would be cheaper to use, say, four Raspberry PIs instead of the single Jetson; you then get four HDMI ports, and can skip the extra display controller? Bit more software, o

I recommend the book "Is that a fish in your ear? Translation and the meaning of everything" [1] which covers all aspects of translation in an interesting and entertaining way. He describes simultaneous translators as extreme athl

Really wish those lovely visualizations in the "Part 1" had pause buttons... some of the transitions are just too fast.
