I took a peek at the implementation - I think this only works for a case where the typing explicitly contains the string "Promise". For example, I don't think it would work if I use `SomeInterface["some_promise_key"

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this, and the overarching point is certainly valid (that complacency has led to some notable corporate collapses). However, for purely pedagogical reasons, I have some critique of the Punic War analogy: - Hamilc

Just to add something to your last sentence - I believe I read somewhere in Polybius that the Romans had never built a warship until the whole skirmish in Sicily kicked off the first Punic War, and they managed to do so by copying a Carthag

Based on your interest in Tacitus and Thucydides, I might recommend the The Histories of Polybius . [1] It is absolutely mind-blowing to me that he actually witnessed the events he writes about, and how analogous it is to modern-day geopol

I also appreciate this perspective because you never know what's going on in the board room. I have seen some morally upstanding leaders make questionable decisions that were totally out of character for them, all for the sake of appea

I learned Sanskrit by translating the Bhagavad Gita ( https://gita.pub ), and I experienced a similar jump in comprehension to what you described. At first I needed to look up every word, even the ones I'd seen many times, bu

I actually saw this in your previous HN post and tried it out - it's a great improvement to replace the email/password with a captcha, since I anyways filled out a fake email and I'm sure most people would do the same. Super

That is awesome, I look forward to following the project and hopefully contributing! I became a better Rust programmer from reading your code :)

Ah you're right, thank you for pointing it out! In the previous version of this comment (where I was still reading it incorrectly) I added a fun fact, that the significand of an IEEE 754 double-precision float is only allocated 52 bits

The UI is awesome, amazing work! However, arbitrary precision implies that there is no fixed upper limit to the number of digits - simple tests like `0.1 + 0.2 == 0.3` and `2^53 == 2^53 + 1` (both produce "false") indicates you&#x

This ISP was actually part of a detailed study in my college class on networking. The founder created a singular example of an "open-source ISP" [1], and I am pretty sure you can find his guidance online somewhere if you were incl

You could create a shell function - e.g. `codex() { OPENAI="xyz" codex "$@" }'. To call the original command use `command codex ...`. People downvoting legitimate questions on HN should be ashamed of themselves.

This is unfortunately the threshold of scrutiny that most online education apps operate along - "it looks good so kids must love it".

Datasette is a wonderful tool that I've used before, and I have the highest admiration for its creator, but the underlying Sqlite3 database doesn't handle large datasets (i.e. hundreds of millions of rows) nearly as well as ClickH

One thing that has changed the game with how I work with CSVs is ClickHouse. It is trivially easy to run a local database, import CSV files into a table, and run blazing-fast queries on it. If you leave the data there, ClickHouse will gradu

This would have been a lot more compelling had they provided a single real-world example of STPA actually solving a reliability issue at Google.

This is amazing, thank you for sharing it. Aside from being a very useful documentation tool, I hope it inspires more people to distribute simple standalone software utilities in this way.

I'm curious as to why you wrote your own chess implementation - seems like this would have been much easier to implement with chessboard.js [1] and chess.js [2]. 1. https://chessboardjs.com/ 2. https://githu
