This is an interesting observation. One possible explanation for a lack of robust first class table manipulation support in mainstream languages could be due to the large variance in real-world table sizes and the mutually exclusive subprob

TUI libraries have sufficiently abstracted away the low-level quirks of terminal rendering that the terminal has become something like a canvas[0] available in the IDE with no extensions. This is quite a nice DevX if you want to display the

Imo the fact that an "AWS Certified Solutions Architect" is yet another AWS service/thing that is attainable, via an actual exam[0] for $300, is indicative of just how intentionally bloated the entire system has become. [0]

The problem with using random real world situations as analogies for niches within Software Engineering is that they're not only (almost) ways wrong, but always misrepresentative of the situation in it's entirety

This is too abstract and a concrete example of what this looks like in output is needed.

GLSL is fine. People don't understand that shaders are not just programs but literal works of art[0]. The art comes from the ability to map a canvas's (x,y) -> (r,g,b,a) coordinates in real time to create something mesmerising,

The issue here is regardless of implementation details (all the privacy/ID stuff falls in this bucket), the remedy being proposed here seems obviously much worse than the ailment.

The privacy concerns and “ID everyone” are the boring, standard dystopian parts of this, perfectly in line with the government-by-nannying that Canberra types enjoy. The better question is what counts as social media? Is HN social media tha

There's a need to be pragmatic here; In the event of any kinetic Chinese aggression, TSMC (and other co's) fabs are going to be rendered inoperable, regardless of how well executed a US response is.

This might be the first launch that tops the jaw-dropping excitement of the Falcon 9 LZ-1 landing way back in 2015. Godspeed starship and best of luck to all the SpaceX team.

If you are a native English speaker it’s nearly trivial. What i’ve found is even ESL speakers who have basically perfect English are thrown off by this. I don’t know why.

Some backstory: By chance whilst visiting Ho Chi Minh city, I tried to create a tongue twister for a Vietnamese girl who spoke perfect English. This one did it. I hadn’t yet asked ChatGPT or any other LLM until now to break down why a very

To answer your question - however you feel about Israel, if you live in the west, it is absolutely not in your best interest to have Russia or China be buddies with Israel, which either would very gladly be.

I don't think Microsoft is audacious or competent enough to orchestrate a fictitious termination, that's a little too far fetched. The initial event _reeks_ of incompetence/AGI fear-mongering, not orchestration. +24 hours - N
