Yes, despite knowing how to do it right those damn comma issues always come up at the worst time and to add insult to injury they're reported by most of the tools I have available like they're totally insoluble to the computer (ev

I'm not particularly surprised. How much do you think the long term value gained from HN has been impacted by the slow down today? My bet would be not very much at all - I doubt there are few regular users who would be deterred from co

I'm 90% with you, but I'd love them to do something to stop it being so easy to "fat finger" the hide link directly above main links when on mobile - just a tiny bit more space would work wonders.

Similar-ish but the waste aspect isn't there: each car does not come with its own gas station and most people do not own multiple redundant gas stations already.

Did they edit their comment after your reply? I'm not seeing aspects you refer to (esp the time/skill point)

Yes, the simplicity could be appealing but without any audio support currently, it would be a touch too far on that path for me right now (audio is on their roadmap though)

Important advice. Often a red flag about other potential problems too.

It's fascinating how empowering knowing just how safe you are can be. I used nearly this exact phrase the other day with someone who appeared fearful of a dashboard tool and once they realised they could basically do no harm whatsoever

I've done it occasionally in UK restaurants where the service clearly did not meet the level expected for the overall charge. It's certainly not a regular occurrence but equally it doesn't keep me up at night (it's optio

Are there compelling reasons that these systems can't be broken into parts and then each part gets gradually replaced in turn? Clearly some aspects will be tied together, so for them it's all or nothing. It does feel like these co

Is this strictly a physical thing or can it apply in software?

These are great. Certain interactions are really tough to represent pictographically but they did pretty well from what I saw. They've even had a go at the black and white versions of some flags! (but naturally they have a few they nee

It's not an idea I've explored seriously in any depth, but it seems like testing for capabilities required for a specific task might be a way to go here over actual drug tests. Thus if it's determined that people need a certa

I also like the section menus for pages that the mobile version dispenses with (which is annoying when you want to share a specific section with someone, all the more important as finding text on a page for the minimised sections that mobil

These connect Pi Compute Modules, which are distinct from regular a Pi in a few ways (eg they don't function without a host board of some sort, so don't have certain things on board like network connectors, GPIO etc) but putting t

Maybe your comment was tongue in cheek but if the product did not reveal it contained a radio transmitter, this would undoubtedly be illegal in the US, EU & UK.

My interpretation is that they mean "easy" within the context of the problems raised within that question. See the final sentence of your quote.

It's worth checking out the live sessions by Sam Aaron - plenty of videos on his YouTube channel. He gives an introductory talk about it here: https://youtu.be/TK1mBqKvIyU

Great quote, but I think the focus of the high metabolism in the research is mainly around the 9-15 months old period and so a sudden and dramatic weight chance in the twenties might be related to some other shift. This part of the article

It looks like there's no sponsorship for Mosh. Had this been considered? Not saying money would solve the challenges the maintainer faces but there might be things it eases. With a tool this popular I expect it wouldn't struggle t

This seems like it happens with physical products too more and more. I may be reading too much into it, but it often feels like this is done (with products and software) to soften you up with the aim of shifting things subtly in favour of t

This is great. Thank you for sharing it! A couple of feedback points (which you may already be aware of): 1. I did occasionally find that not enough info was shown for papers to determine if they were really in my areas of interest, so perh

It really does feel like reading comprehension limitations are a major barrier to people helping themselves. Even trivial amounts of text can put people off, even when the individuals are supposedly high calibre (ie university educated&#x2F

Asking the user seems the most obvious way of deciding this. There are plenty of ways to make it discrete with a default option selected that the user could deselect if desired.

You seem to imply that Nvidia are paying for data that is freely available. Anyone can use the Common Voice data within the terms of the license and NVIDIA contributing towards the continued gathering of data (that will continue to be made

You aren't distinguishing the projects correctly. The CV project isn't the same as the DeepSpeech project (even though they were related). And your point makes little sense, because if the site was not working how could the app ge

Why on Earth would anyone use an app for this when mobile browsers work perfectly well for adding audio to Common Voice? We could possibly give the developer the benefit of the doubt that they're not doing anything inappropriate with t

Yes, the trucks can be pretty bad for noise already. The payoff of convenient delivery makes it just about acceptable. Taking the noise to another level won't go down well in many locations and doesn't offer that much more for the
