No “for” loop in the example purportedly showing an iterative approach. Not mentioning the pain of debugging the streaming solution is also a little disingenuous.

It’s “row”. The expression is “a tough road to row”. This refers to the fact that rowboats are notoriously difficult to operate on dry land.

It’s nice to see this guy getting some attention for a different reason. Maybe something good will come out of this whole debacle.

Too true. I remember when I visited it took me a while to get used to this. I would ask my friend questions like “what happens if I fall off this campero/get bitten by one of these street dogs/clock somebody in the head playing ra

Read the whole sentence. He’s talking about the cost to make solar panels that can be deployed in space, not the efficacy of said panels.

TFA was pretty clear that this is an example which illustrates common issues in enterprise security. It even provides a handy table to map the similar patterns between this toy and a network appliance. No one’s arguing for stronger security

Today a manager at my work asked all his teams including mine “please write up a report on how many engineers from your teams we could replace with AI”. Surprisingly, the answer he got was “none, because that’s not how AI works”. Guess we’l

Ah yes, the “no true fascism” fallacy. Thanks for posting your half-thought out defense of the party that is murdering citizens in the street! I’m sure they appreciate your attempts to keep their jackboots shiny.

The moon is getting bolder all the time. Coming out during the day, changing size when it’s behind buildings, and now stealing the very air we breathe. Get lost, you stupid moon. We’ve walked on you! We know your secrets, you big dumb hunk

> will power is an illusion. Lol, what? No one has ever abstained from anything, huh? No one ever quits drugs or alcohol, and no one was ever able to control their weight before this drug? Well, guess that absolves us of all personal res

This is awesome, congrats Eric. Almost makes me wish I hadn’t switched from Android -> iOS last year before the Pebble announcements started coming out. Any idea if we might see more compatibility with iOS in the near future as Apple is

And that’s ok. Those are core features of the phone that absolutely must work reliably and consistently. Far better to do a few important things really well than a hundred things execrably.

This seems like a lot of work. I just point my router at AdGuard DNS and that takes care of all ads on every device on my network. No filter lists, nothing to host, completely free. Only caveat is it doesn’t block ads served by the content

I had never thought about the puzzle-piece solution to the 2D digestive tract problem before. That’s amazing! Maybe being 2D wouldn’t be so bad after all.

How did this make it to the top of HN? It’s an extremely facile work and reads exactly like a high school essay: “In having his character consider execution to protect his and his family’s reputation, Doyle explored the societal expectation

Harlan Ellison also referred to “slidewalks”. They form a major plot point in “Repent, Harlequin! Said The Ticktockman”, in which the Harlequin at one point dumps millions of jellybeans on the slidewalk, jamming it and making workers late f
