EU antitrust already forced them to unbundle teams, in the EU. I'm not sure how much effect it will have in practice.

Klarna made credit available (on almost any online item) to lots of swedes who didn't have credit cards.

Based on Singapore's reputation, would they tolerate someone trying to camp in the airport?

I think we talk of a housing crisis, but the people who are living stably around me (i.e "not struggling") are living with ample space for themselves or their family. I think many are living in bigger houses and sharing less than

That support comes with requirements and they will try to get you "reintegrated" and into a job so that you can support yourself. To use it as a salary with no intention to work is not according to the purpose of this service.

I guess you didn't know about mastodon until now. I have joined there but social media isn't really for me, so I can't really speak for it: https://joinmastodon.org I don't think it has a chance to ever be as

It's just a mastodon instance, not something new - part of the fediverse.

That is a good point, but I'm not that optimistic. Maybe it dampens the effect, but for me with Musescore 4 I already think some things went in that direction. VS Code is also not immune (I use codium, but only as a secondary editor to

That reminds me of the Apollo guidance computer talk (available on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1J2RMorJXM ). "Everyone" might have seen this one, but if one hasn't, it's a gem.

Audacity is also commercial, even if it's free and open source. That's because Muse is developing it and has a commercial interest in it, and their goals now (partly) govern the project. For example, that also makes them vulnerabl

You can't put all people on a scale like that, less intelligent vs more intelligent. Some people are great with letters and words and spot typos quickly, some just don't see it as easily. They can still be very intelligent in othe

This is like me too. I'm normally not depressed, but every time sleep is affected, it throws me off and leads me down to viewing the world negatively.

I signed up for nebula too, but it's clear that nebula is not a competitive platform. Nebula does the basics, it has channels and it shows videos, that part is great. Youtube is great because of the wide availability of videos, recomme

That terse summary is basically misleading, so I can see why it's not helpful. It would be a much better one line summary to say "Complex numbers were invented so that we could name (and describe) all roots to a quadratic equation

It is explained why in the Stereographic projection (3d) interactive video in the linked article, just before the 5 minute mark.

Real numbers are also overspecifed, there's too many of them, most of them you'll never be able to compute or even conceptualize(!) But they are mathematically useful.

What timeframe do we need to setup a fully independent colony on Mars, so that we survive if Earth is not there? If you asked me to guess, it would be somewhere between impossible and 1000 years of terraforming.

The majority of podcasts I listen to have their RSS feeds on a domain that they control. And I've found them by podcast search in Antennapod. It looks like, to me, that the space is sufficiently diversified that distributors are interc

by kzrdude 3y ago
Podcasting is a distributed medium, that's something the individual distributor has to solve for the podcasts they do - it could be just a single one for example. They know what they produce and can budget storage thereafter. Bandwidth

It would be interesting if there was a podcast type model for video. I guess technically it's all there, and there is, but it's just not popular enough. The significant part about podcasts (compared with say youtube) is that distr

As an example. Neovim is great, but treesitter is struggling with big files. That means that commonly used neovim configurations don't work well with big files at all (and I need to run in clean/no config mode to open huge logfile

Couldn't it also help catching more people to twitch? People find a stream on youtube -> they hear the streamer mostly interact with twitch chat -> they think twitch is the main platform (if they want that kind of interaction.)

numpy developers seem to prefer a GIL-less python, so better numpy (and other libraries) are possible without GIL.

The plug part is still detachable, and at least previously you'd receive both a long cord with Schuko to attach there and a short plug with just two prongs. I guess the two prong thing is standard now?

CNBC can have their own US default context if they want. I guess if you think this needs context, the US part should be mentioned on Hacker news, since here we moved the headline out of its original context.
