I'm reminded of the classic problem of static utility classes, where you have functions for say formatting phone numbers, or computing a commonly occurring simple mathematical function. It can be difficult to figure out how to better m

Typically one of the main arguments against pre-built machines are that you can build a similarly specced machine for less. But the time and effort it takes to do so may not be practical for every situation, so really you're paying mor

Did the software happen to be used by courts in NY? On a job, I worked with fixed width ASCII NY court data that was processed on some sort of mainframe that was setup in the late 70s maybe early 80s. Still gets updated many times a day wit

But isn't there something to be said about the kind of human experiences each of the "outdated" industries you mentioned provide? Namely schools, stores, going to movie theaters with friends, etc. People like seeing and being

I believe Truecrypt supported a feature where different passwords would unlock different partitions in a volume. So someone could ask you to input the password for BadBoy.tc, and if you enter password1, then you get say the data they actual

Thanks, I'm much less familiar with AMD product lines and didn't know about EPYC.

Definitely an important factor, didn't check the max RAM. Kind of surprises me that AMD would put all this work into building a many core/thread CPU only to have a 256 GB RAM limit but if it's intended for gamers/worksta

Wow, I had no idea. Super useful to know. Just seems like a money grab from VMware.

Historically I've always gone with Intel, but I've been wondering if new AMD CPUs would work well hypervisor hosts. A Ryzen Threadripper 3990x for example has 64 cores, 128 threads, and supports ECC RAM. Intel by comparison doesn&

Anyone that inherits any sort of legacy MS Office workflow almost always needs to interact with VBA. Access, Excel, and Word workflows use it excessively as it's the only language you can use for manipulating things "inside"

This is most likely due to an HTML template engine.

I'm very interested in beginning to monitor some information on my vehicle. Is the usual workflow involve pulling a dbc file off the vehicle with a CAN bus reader and using software to look into it? Or is it more complicated? Anyone ha

From my minimal understanding, computational photography/cinematography is an application of tools like GANs to various problems in video editing/production. Can anyone confirm/elaborate?

One aspect HN offers me is the wide variety of content. If using a website like reddit, for example, you may not see this kind of article if you're not subscribed to a relevant subreddit. This can be good as you mostly see things you w

Going to have a good time implementing a few of these myself. Any other references/resources for neat graphics algorithms on the more compact side?

One thing I see a lot with fellow students is the following mentality: "I don't need to spend a lot of time studying for X because I can figure it out when I need too" or similarly "I don't feel like learning about

Not sure why you would want to do this in the first place. Wouldn't be easier just to stop using Facebook?

I've come to realize the same thing. Like the author, I've been programming since I was an early teen and that was pretty much all I did for years. I would love to break into the software market but realized that I only think like
