Where I live, you can get a bank card (not credit) as a teenager. But you are unable to put yourself in debt. So you can use the card to buy stuff, but companies should be wary of using the card details to verify future purchases. In this c

Not the same definition as discussed here, but: All my social networking among friends is "closed". I almost never post publicly, everything happens in closed groups on facebook, in a group chat, in a Slack for a group of friends&

Talks are a great way to discover interesting ideas, technologies, concepts etc. And if the talk inspired, one can then later invest in reading a book.

You stamp a paper with your location, "fold it" and then throw it using the accelerometer of the phone. Then you can catch other planes, see who else has stamped it, add your own stamp and throw it back with the others. Quite neat

When I write code, I have this mental model of how the world (application) works. I write some lines of code based on it, and then test the code. More often than not, something happened that I hadn't thought about, and my mental model

This kinda rocked my view on spammers. It's easy to group them together and have a lot of prejudice, but clearly they come in all kinds of forms.

Probably reactive or controllable. Wind, solar, gas, nuclear etc. cannot be controlled to the degree that opening the gates can. So it can respond better to the energy demands based on time of day.

I actually find that one much more boring. It's basically a nested string.

I was once at a tech-presentation where the presenter drew/wrote everything freehand like this on a tablet, almost similar to how one would use a blackboard. I really liked the way she presented compared to a static slide-deck, as she

This isn't "passive income", this is a side-gig. Yes, it may in time generate recurring revenue that you could consider passive, but probably it wont be ("I only have to answer a few mails a day and develop stuff every w

You cannot say: "This image was classified as a stop sign, because this part recognized the shape and this part recognized the color, and this part the text", which you could do with other approaches. When it doesn't discover

Yeah, I've always heard that expert systems are good, because there you can reason about the solution. For instance diagnosing people based on rules contributed by doctors. You can trace the steps the algorithm takes easily. But for a

They did show some example-videos in the article. From the Beatles-video, this looks quite a few steps away from working well. When they change camera, walls etc. suddenly changes colors, as the images are processed separately.

Such scales exists, but they do it by measuring electric resistance between your feet. So not very accurate. However, if you do it under the same conditions every day (same amount of water in your body etc) you can at least show the trend.

Just buy index funds. They have low fees, and beat most (if not all) managed funds long term anyway. Find a fond tracking S&P 500, one global and maybe some other markets, and you should be set.

I haven't achieved it, but I'm taking the safe route: Avoid lifestyle creep. Invest as much as I can for long-term gains (index funds, bonds etc.). Then live off slowly selling it off. So no passive income from a business. (I feel

Just because of the way npm2 ordered the dependencies, the runtime of babel got incredibly slow [1]. Npm3 fixed that drastically, but I wonder how much is still wasted just because of navigating the file tree to the dependencies. [1]: http

How can countries avoid the spiral of death with taxing? I hate how google, facebook etc. makes hundreds of millions in my country, but barely pay taxes. While local companies do.

I think it's more the (learning to code) that brings out the good in people. While I wouldn't want HN to be full of Show HNs like this, it's cool to once in a while take a step back and remember where oneself began.

That's surprisingly readable for someone having coded less than a year. Granted, it's only about a 100 lines so not that much complexity, but still separated into smaller, readable functions. I think it took several years before I

But that's not a library. It forces your whole project into a box in which it may not fit. Elm is not without problems as well, although they (him?) are working on the biggest pain-points.
