Hi naiv, Nick Vlku, VP of Growth at Algolia, here. Wanted to dive in a bit more on Ben's answer below. To be honest, I was surprised at this limitation too when I first starting using Algolia. Upon some research, it turns out this i

I know, I feel the same way, but the data doesn't indicate this. Be careful with "ancedata". http://www.cjcj.org/uploads/cjcj/images/screen_shot_2021-06-... The one place you do see a dramatic

I hear this one a lot, but it's not "decriminalization". Prop 47 reduced theft under $950 to a misdemeanor from a felony. A misdemeanor is not decriminalization! Not even close. You can go to jail for a misdemeanor. This is

I see lots of anti GitHub (really Microsoft) sentiment here, but doesn’t a ruling against GitHub have massive implications for any “all powerful ML trained AI model” period? Like, we’re all swooning about ChatGPT, but how can chatGPT be leg

Kind of... but does that mean we're going to see "Check out Wordpress, it powers 30% of the Internet" or "Hey, Postgres is great!" posts too?

Not to be curmudgeonly, I'm really confused about this post and why it's being upvoted? Django is like 20 years old. It's like linking to the Ruby on Rails site and saying "Compress the complexity of modern web apps&quo

As a reminder, as Elon talks about personal safety, this is the man who posted personal information about a former employee of his on twitter that ended with him having to “move his entire family because of the death threats that showed up”

It's so funny, I recently moved to Chicago and I feel like every other car on the street is a Tesla. The garage in my apartment building has 11 of them. I wonder if there's more of an uptick in the city proper than the suburbs (w

Tech is heavily heavily impacted by politics. If you work in a publicly traded company, you are super impacted by politics. Look at your compensation. If you work in anything that requires access to semiconductors, you are super impacted b

Yea, that's totally fair. Meta is about as shady as it gets with this stuff.

I am so confused by all of these comments/articles, they're clearly created before actual benchmarks have come out (and also seem to have no real world experience with intel GPUs, etc). Intel Arc cards are dead in the water becaus

Dude, Game Pass is spectacular and completely optional. Want to pay $15/mo and have access to basically every game that exists for the Xbox (including $79 games on launch), sign up for it. Want to still buy the games and own them for

Oh that's completely not fair. Microsoft is extremely gamer friendly. Microsoft is sitting here with Game Pass giving people unlimited access to most games in their catalog for $15/mo including 0-day access to their biggest relea

Except there are less parts overall in an EV. Way way way way less parts. And way way way way less fluids for said parts. Less parts means less things to maintenance. Less fluids means less things to refill. In terms of "wearing out&

Is there anything actually interesting in these? It seems like it's just a document that formalizes talking points for main issues/questions they get. Talking points they've actively used! I don't get why this is salac

It's a product of America's climate being more extreme on the highs and lows (a product of the jetstream). The one place that doesn't have extreme summers, the PNW, actually has very little AC too.

Interesting, where are those rentals coming from? Is it just an overall drop in demand for any housing? Intuitively to me, if you make one thing harder to do (buy a house), unless people disappear or you suddenly build more rentals, they g

Actually, that's not true in a strange perverse way. Higher interest rates = higher mortgage rates = higher monthly costs to own = More people being stuck in the rental market = more demand in an already over-heated rental market. R

The Blackwell series from Wadjet is absolutely spectacular and 100% brought me back to that 90s adventure games feeling! Super recommend them too! (I also cried like a baby at the series conclusion)

That requires staffing (at a 24/7 level ideally). I just did a cross country drive in a Tesla and most of them are in stations that are around stores, malls, hotels or restaurants - but none of them are staffed. The costs of these st

Sorry, I should have been specific. You are correct the Blade Stealth 13 comes with only 16gb of ram but I don't think it's in the same class as this S76 laptop because it doesn't have a 13" size equivalent. The Blade 1

I know, I know - getting a laptop with linux running natively is great, but seriously folks - just go buy something like an XPS 13 or Razer Blade for the same cost and put Linux on it. You'll get an infinitely better piece of hardwar

I don’t think your car comparison is a fair one. You don’t see your iPhone nag you to take it to an “Apple shop.” They usually update while you sleep. My Tesla does the same thing, it’s a car that literally gets software updates while I s

What does that mean? Windows ships with an entire subsystem for Linux, you can literally install any linux distro you want and it will run native inside windows with access to each others file systems, ports, etc - with basically no perf
