I believe Apple silicon has Jira coprocessor. It really became usable on M1 and beyond. Even the horrid UX got somehow better in the last few years (like not having 3+ different text inputs, each with different formatting behavior). My gues

I think Opera had even bigger share in Eastern European countries at the time. But it was actively killed by Google. From homepage ads on google/youtube to blocking features or whole applications based on user agent.

That's fair. Though if I replaced "people" with "HN users" it would still hold true, and I would consider this group to be very computer literate.

Most people also decided it's a good idea to use browser from an advertising company. RSS is not good for business and it won't be provided.

Async and parallel are not the same thing. You can run code async and yet not parallel (one core, no i/o).

Looking at some subscription charts I was able to quickly find now I see I made a mistake. I was thinking of Lineage 2 using mssql, while it was Lineage (1) that was the major one. I do not know anything about its backend and it would be ha

I can see two cases where it could be legally questionable: - the result breaks some law (e.g. support of selected few genocidal regimes) - you pretend users (people, companies) wrote something they didn't

A lot of people see driving a car as a right, instead of a privilege it is (or should be). It goes hand in hand with little required training and lenient punishments.

I remember airports having birds of prey that they would keep around and deploy for this purpose. Drones are probably much cheaper.

Is there a way to restore session (windows, tabs, paths) after (application) start? How is this not default everywhere is beyond me (looking at Firefox). But my main point here would be that the lack of explorable configuration, and the doc

Note, if someone is trying this, that you need to grant accessibility permissions for it to work when Ghostty isn't focused.

It's a desktop/GUI application. It's definitely not a standard for those, no. I share the OPs frustation that I don't even know what I can configure and have to search web to be able to change something. And while the do

When you said night train you can sleep on I assumed sleeper cars. But to be fair, I always looked at trains to/from Vienna, maybe that's the exception in prices.

Unfortunately more expensive than a plane+hotel and has to be booked well in advance. It's worth the experience, at least for me, but it's not a real alternative.

Probably because not using mutable default arguments is python 101. Just something you don't do or think about. But this is indeed clever use of that gotcha.

You can't "just drop", it requires energy (fuel) and that's probably the answer why.

I agree with your overall point, but that's a super deceptive metric to use. First Ariane 6 was scheduled for 2020 and only the first one ever launched.

This part could have been phrased better in that case. > It’s over. And IMO it’s awesome.

All hands should be followed by Q&A, rare opportunity to have execs together so the right one can answer. And it makes sense to listen live to know what (not) to ask. What you are describing could be just an email.

I add those preemptively in the PRs, but not sure they have much value in the code.

Cities Skylines in the vanilla mode (and most, if not all, city builder games before it) famously ignores problems of car storage. It may actually seem like cars are somewhat sustainable.

And that doesn't include effects of local pollution in dense city emvironments. Both air and noise kills us.

It was a long time ago and I wasn't as involved with this, so I don't know with certainty what was used and how. We had multiple channels for major product versions + beta customers on the most recent one. On top of these we could

The real answer is a bit later in the article I think. It produces summary only about what was in the training data. Works for someone's vacation blog, but anything novel can get lost easily.

This "sorry, I was wrong, here's another wrong answer" is basically my only experience with llm. But it also onpy works if I know the answer or the answer I get is really stupid. Luckily the latter is common.

It's answered in the post (in the thread) as well. But for comparison, when I worked for an AV vendor we pushed maybe 4 updates a day to a much bigger customer base (if the numbers reported by MS are true).
