Looks good and already has a lot of data. The problem is that I see a mix of companies from the US, Europe and Asia. Would it be possible to filter by location?

Thanks for building this! Some comments: Scroll doesn’t work on ipad when touching inside the white area. Would be nice to post links to the data sources as worldometer does. There is a lot of disinformation happening so some people might w

Authors are reputable but the article has not been peer reviewed. Take it with a grain of salt.

What I mean to say is that a launderer would not have bothered leaving bad reviews for his own fake books. The people who did this bought the books by mistake. Not sure why this idea gets downvoted. The simpler explanation is usually right.

Given that some of the titles have 1-star reviews, I think the goal is to scam people into buying expensive crap. The books are auto generated and the content is worthless. In many countries it’s difficult to request refunds for online paym

Shouldn’t you choose the random numbers such that array[idx1] ^ array[idx1 + 1] are guaranteed to fall in the same cache line? Assuming that it has that. Right now some accesses cross the end of the cache line.

Maybe I am splitting hairs here, but by explicitly not looking back, you acknowledge that you might have made mistakes, but you choose to ignore them. This is worse than denial. Strange title overall, not sure who thought that it would be a

Can you share some examples of what it finds? As long as it is safe to post that.

I didn’t think of that. It’s a good point, thanks for sharing.

For those who don’t have a Facebook account: Replace “delete” with “abstain”, and “Facebook” with “alcohol” or “smoking”. These articles will then make sense.

Giving up emails or phone numbers can be risky since someone else might take it and do something unpleasant with it. Facebook accounts cannot be taken that way.

Do you know why Amazon is focusing so much on the Leadership Principles questions, yet there seem to be so many horror stories from people who work there? I am genuinely curious why they don’t manage to filter out the jerks.

I wish browsers would aim to become lighter, not heavier. One already needs a ton of RAM, a fast CPU and a decent graphics card to render smoothly webpages that consist of basically just text and a few images. It’s ridiculous.

Are there some good usecases for this? All I can think of is spam. Also wondering if this respects the GDPR and similar laws.

What kind of resources would you suggest to someone who wants to get better at handling people problems?

The suggested schedule is ridiculous, and I am not convinced it’s a good way for preparing for the interview. Still, the author didn’t say that he actually got the job.

They might want to update their demo page. The only demo link leads to a parked domain thingy with just ads.

Very nice! Has a chess game too! If you could add some lighter board games or 2d pool I might spend some time on it! What can you tell us about security and privacy? Can you create locked rooms? Zoom had a lot of problems with this in the b

Your device’s firmware is not even able to keep a connection up for a few hours. Which is its main function. Do you trust that they tested its code for recovering partitions that were not unmounted cleanly?

Interesting. But it requires tampering with the hardware while the computer is sleeping. Given that, it’s not that exciting.

On the upside, if he manages to brick it, the ISP will replace it and maybe his problem will be fixed.

Basically restart the modem by cutting the power every time the connection is flaky. With a very complicated setup. Cutting power repeatedly a large number of times is a great way of eventually bricking the box. This modem has an admin web
