I got an email from LinkedIn prompting me to "unsubscribe from job alert <X> because you haven't viewed it in 3 months". Indeed I haven't, because every week they email me the same list of the same jobs that have b

That's actually a lot higher than I was expecting. The average twitch streamer makes essentially nothing.

UK person invokes US law to get at other UK person, because a link in the chain is in the US. As with DMCA laws, this is a big problem, as it gives the US tremendous power it shouldn't rightfully have. It's hard to know how to unw

What's all this overengineering and waste creating timeouts? Why not just use setInterval? let interval = setInterval(() => document.querySelector('.main-btn').click(), 50) Then clearInterval(interval) t

Yep, it's somethings easy to forget that HN isn't actually mainstream; something being discussed on HN doesn't mean it's well known.

I assume the original was a lot higher resolution, else that stinks of parallel reconstruction.

Neither are AAA. Also, Factorio was crowdfunded via a kickstarter-like platform. Also both are around 15 years old. They are both closer in age to 1995 than today.

It's stored :memory:, there exists the same interface with: let x = {} x['foo'] = bar This is a parody because the implementation is hidden, and I'm not convinced the implementation isn't just newing an

Others are being mean by not explaining the joke. Firstly, SQL server has a built-in JSON type, which lets you query and manipulate the JSON directly: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases&#x2F

Nickname implies it's unofficial, but S3 is very much the product name too: https://aws.amazon.com/s3/faqs/ "Simple storage service" is used once. "S3" is used throughout.

I enjoyed reading this article. I picked up a copy of half-life for £10 at a car-boot sale shortly after release. Perhaps the best purchase I ever made at one. It was actually a legit copy. I'm not sure why they sold it so cheap, perha

In general, it was awkward to rely on plugins for video support, so flash was indeed generally used. Here's a 2015 article referencing YouTube dropping flash for it's HTML5 player: https://www.theverge.com/2015&#x2

My takeaway from that post is: What happened to svbtle? It was hot shit here for a little while, but why couldn't it really break out like medium and substack did?

I've shared this insight before, but Claude will faithfully reproduce the (still in copyright) Zork adventure game when prompted to do so. I don't know how far it manages to stay faithful, but it certainly reprouces enough that I

Indeed. I'm not normally one to write off an article over a small mistake, but that's such a fundamental mistake that it puts into the question the value of the rest of the analysis.

That does change things though, it gives you a fair point of comparison.

This is our future. I hate it, but it feels inevitable. My job is going to be unrecognisable in 10 years time, to the point where I'm not sure I'll be particularly skilled to do it. And the tools I need to do my job are being made

Outside of the opening, Chess players tend to call them combinations, and it's not really memorisation as such, it's pattern recognition, and it's a very difficult skill to master. Outside of the opening, it's not rote m

Here's one way to maybe make it less counter-intuitive: We have a set of items X1, X2, X3, ... etc. Each of X1, X2, X3 differently matches conditions A, B, C, D, etc. Think of "All" as: A AND B AND C AND D AND... Each term we

That's the demographics of who watches daytime TV. Also note that advertising of prescription pharmaceuticals is already banned, which would likely be another large advertiser were that not the case.

It's still top 10 played on steam, which is incredible really, and while it might never be number 1 best seller in the short term, it's probably out-sold many of the games that did get "number 1" in the year it was relea

Yes, I think this was a really bad example, and something without humans would have been better, so for example naming of cloud server resources. With real world names there's also the messy issue of name changes and dead-naming. If Al

I don't understand how you can claim £100m is "not expensive", that's around £3 per tax-payer in the country, for one small aspect of the whole project. Complaints about "waste" of government overspend went fro
