Probably a cut and paste job from another style of pasta they offer, and the intern was asked to just change the pasta name and cooking times...

Not sure if you've come across asciinema [1] before. I haven't used it myself, but it seems pretty popular for this kind of screen recording. [1] https://asciinema.org/

Each to their own of course, but I can't imagine _not_ using colours. It would be like using a code editor with syntax highlighting turned off. Madness!

100 cars driving down the highway. There's a freak storm about to break and FEMA needs to put out an emergency alert. So they broadcast on all AM channels, all FM channels, satellite & internet radio, and broadcast text messages. A

This is my absolute favourite kind of post on HN. It's got everything; intrigue, mystery, scandal and of course heavy on the technical side too. All packaged up in a compelling narrative.

If the main selling point is that it's a lightweight alternative, it would be good to include some details in the readme (e.g. RAM usage, CPU, etc). And then detail how packaging it as a Snap undoes all their hard work.

I'm too stupid to see the problem here. It seems that both statements are true and not contradictory: a) the coin flip is 50/50, and b) Sleeping Beauty will see more tails than heads.

That makes sense in theory, but you need to think about how the average user is going to perceive these UI choices: we're posting smaller warning for less-safe things. Put another way, the average user is going to be much more concerne

I never understood why a website served using a self-signed (and untrusted) certificate would throw up more warnings than a website served without any encryption at all. Even today, a page served over HTTP just gets an unobtrusive bit of te

I've had this quote from George Orwell knocking around inside my head recently: "A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats."

It would be funny if this was actually orchestrated by a foreign power as a way of collecting real intel. "Break into the oval office and take a photo of any documents you find there. Upload your photos to advance to the next level&quo

Also, not all types of dithering have regular patterns. And as someone else noted in this thread, a jpeg would offer better image fidelity and filesize than this dithered PNG.

I'm aware - I read the post and the top X comments. I'm wondering if there was anything of any substance anywhere in the thread. I'm also interested to hear if anyone here has any data. Hence the question.

I was thinking about the chess analogy too, and I don't think it holds. Chess is a pastime; people do it for fun. Once AI has consumed all our jobs, sure, you can manually tap out some code for fun, but no one is going to pay you for t
