This is the correct approach. We, the "software engineers", can jump in and help. If it eventually comes out that the results were wrong then the papers should be retracted. At the moment there is no proof of that. That's the

You're trying to apply software development techniques to a discipline where testing is usually done in a much different way. Yes, we should all try to be perfect and write the most magnificent code with the most bulletproof testing me

Browsers also don't provide the necessary tools to actually build interactive UIs without reaching for external libraries. If you want to allow the user to select date or time in a decent user-friendly way... you just have to pull some

He is. Carlsen is a unique player in many respects and he usually comes back even stronger from losses. To say that he is "losing out" to someone is a bit premature I would say.

If you're basing this view off of HN, then remember that HN generally has a high percentage of users from US/SV/VC scene.

The SE is great but my battery is quite bad now and as soon as it gets below room temperature, the battery drops from 50% to 10% and then starts turning off. Probably will be changing the battery and keeping my current SE, the new one is no

Thanks for the great answer, very comprehensive. I will try out Mint :)

Mint looks cool! Maybe this is answered somewhere, but what would you say is the differentiator between Mint and Svelte? Many of the design choices seem similar. I am in the position of starting a new hobby project soon myself and currently

My personal requirements are very low as well (maybe not as low as yours), but I think if I had a family with kids, my minimum requirements would increase substantially. All the material stuff starts to make more sense once you have a famil

If your gym won't be able to re-open after this thing is over, it only shows the quality of management of the gym as well as of the government. It should not be your burden to bear and build a buffer for them for their mistakes. Someon

That's not the point though. My gym was closed and everyone's membership was automatically paused, they don't get to keep charging people. I'm fine with not going to the gym and I'm fine with a lower Netflix quality

I often have up to 10 VSCode editors, an IntelliJ window and two browser instances open. Add some server processes, UI watchers/builders, and my Thinkpad starts to freeze up. In an ideal world, I would have a low-latency remote desktop

The author is not arguing for simplicity per se, but about being able to insert a human into a system that is normally automated. The example about the ship's steering system is perfect, actually. The system is not "simple" (

I think people just live differently and have different values. Nothing wrong with it, really.

I recently did some reading on microservices, since I had to create a multi-service deployment. I really don't understand how people are able to manage the complexity when they split every single small domain of an application into its

Guix package definitions were unreadable to me initially, as I had never used Scheme/Lisp before. I've written a couple of them now and the definition above is extremely easy to read. Big part is just formatting & parentheses,

There's two different use cases: - development - production For development, using Nix or Guix is in my opinion extremely nice. Using Docker in development would mean mounting your dev directory as a volume into a dev-container and dep

How about a leaderboard? You get points for each breach that you were in and how much of your data was exposed. Each data point could score different points: your name is 5 points, social security number 10 points etc. Then the you can see

There are standards that are being worked on. My criteria is: all the logic must be contained within my home, the devices must adhere to some open standard, they must be repairable and modifiable to some degree.

Generally I agree, but I've found it hard to parse macro logic in projects that I am not familiar with. I've written a project that uses macros heavily as well and it's hard to make it easy to understand. It's a double-e

Page views are most definitely transferable. Why do you think Instagram was sold to Facebook for $1B? I guess more concretely, the wikipedia.org domain is a very valuable asset.
