I've run over 1 squirrel in 26 years of driving and hundreds of thousands of miles driven and tens of thousands of squirrel encounters. And it was in a tiny 90's Mazda Miata with the ideal front visibility. That car was too small

This was really fun. Right before this little hole on the second level, my macbook started running a bit slow and the collision detection somehow sucked the marble into the floor. https://imgur.com/ZANb1cT

I know there's no correct answer. But I legit wanted to understand what my answer actually means and why we are presenting seemingly duplicate options. I tried googling "capital he him pronoun" and all the references were abo

hi, I waited for this thread to die down and reach the second page before I posted this because I love this topic and didn't want it derailed with a sensitive issue. I didn't realize this was restricted to school age kids and want

I'm sure front visibility plays some role, but just as a counter example, squirrels are much smaller and can dart in front of my vehicle faster than any child, yet I have no problem spotting them while driving a large SUV (Kia Tellurid

That explains it. Yup these were some sort of official / govt documents. Thanks for the explanation! Edit. I should have realized that. I just came back from China and my kids were watching a children's show with the following sub

But autocomplete even for basic words? My wife is Chinese. I'll never forget when she was helping her family write some formal letter in Chinese in Microsoft Word and she simply could not input the numbers 1, 2, and 3 in Chinese becaus

Crokinole looks fun, but personally I'm into BulletBall and BulletBall Extreme (which may one day be an Olympic sport).

This kind of reminds me of DigitalRev TV. Like TwoSet it brought in people who would typically have no interest in the subject matter just because the hosts were entertaining. Rebranding or trying to launch your own content never seems to w

I personally went with Joda money versus the Java money API mentioned above. Our needs are a bit simpler and the Joda Money API is a bit simpler to understand. Our app only deals in USD so I wrote a small utility class to help initialize Mo

I think records will be much more useful if https://openjdk.org/jeps/468 gets out of preview.

A little bit of both.

I work for a smaller company (~100 people) and took ownership of a new greenfield project. I have to wear all hats: hiring people, firing people, managing people (ensuring they're happy, salary adjustments), mentoring, project manager,

We need more books of this nature. The free chapter didn't really sell me on the book, but for $26 even if there's only one insight I pick up it may be useful. So I picked up a copy, but I do have some concerns. I've been pre

Is there a future proof way to capture photos today to view in 3D/VR devices of the future?

I think this is a fair take. The parent comment shouldn't have added subscriber count as one the qualifications. But for MKBHD's qualification, simply use point number 2.

The "human body measurement" test in that article seems flawed. When you launch the Thermometer app, there's only two buttons: Object temperature and Body temperature. So I'm not sure why the author tried to measure body

Interesting. I likely won't be in a position to take a 3+ month trip for a long time. But I just came back from spending 1 month in China and Google Fi worked flawlessly in China and Taiwan. I had better 5G coverage in Shanghai than in

I'm not familiar with the .NET ecosystem at all, but in general I think the problem with the "just write everything in the framework's layer" for most companies is your whole application becomes tightly coupled to that f

Yup we have a dehumidifier running constantly that drains into the sump pit. The basement still has a basement smell even though it's all brand new drywall, fresh paint, etc. The dehumidifier keeps the humidity around 40%, otherwise it

Any advice for homeowners living in a high water table area besides "move"? We were a bit naive buying our new construction home. It's the only home on the street with a basement due to the high water table. One year after pu

Fair, and now that I'm thinking back, most of the pizza I ate in Russia was in Voronezh.

by nogridbag 2y ago
Does proper pizza even exist there today? I've had my fair share in Moscow and Kiev a decade ago or so. It was usually thick, soft, gooey dough with a ton of toppings. For me it was almost inedible. The last slice I tried was in a pizz

A bit late to the party, but future HN searchers may read this. I think Cerbos is pretty straightforward and possibly the least risky option if the company ceases to exist. It doesn't have the concept of a data plane. So basically you

I'm also using it for projections. But to be honest we have a fairly large Quarkus app and only use projections in a few places. For immutable classes with a large number of fields where instances have to be created manually I usually

I still don't get how Java records can be used for anything like a DTO. Since you're a Clojure dev you may remember the pattern Rich Hickey described as "place oriented programming" :) Nearly every endpoint will have mor

That was the case for me. I went all in drinking the Clojure koolaid and wrote some small internal CLI tools with it. If I came back to that code a month or two later I could only properly understand it if I opened up a REPL to debug it. I

While this looks cool, isn't using a full programming language to power your build the reason why builds become fragile? e.g. Maven just works because you're limited in what you can do.

Care to elaborate or link to your thoughts? Temporal has always been on my radar. I wanted to do a deeper dive, but the cost seems pretty high for the managed service.
