It would be nice if there was info about the methods they developed for testing, rather than just how effective it was.

The account I bought initially had 15 MB space limit (it was a 15$ one time purchase for life membership). They never increased this limit... The web interface didn't auto refresh, unless you used "poll" which then only refreshed every 30 m

I had been using fastmail for years too, but recently switched to gmail ironically. 10+ years ago I payed a small fee for life time account with them, and they very were good, but they just never made any improvements to their service and g

The regex is not complex, just the php implementation is. I feel like any regex expression should give an error or at least a warning if is going to return a potentially incorrect answer.

Another obvious lesson to take from this is that it is sometimes better to release something imperfect and improve upon it, rather than wait for the perfect product, because by then you may be irrelevant. The downside to this is lack of agi

"but rather what people in the community think it's important in a conversation" should be "but rather that people..." or "...think is important in a conversation" For the record, I agree, but enjoy irony.

Winter is not a disaster. The point of the article is valid, but hopefully humanity can come up with a better solution than population control through an unnatural equivalent of predators.

How long user stays on page (hint would be how soon they make next search/click), whether or not they continue looking for something under a similar search query, having actual buttons users can click to rate, etc.

This is good news, but I feel like it is only treating a symptom not the actual disease. If the algorithm properly detected site relevance, importance and viewer satisfaction, those copycat sites should never have ranked higher in the first

A lot of this is true, but HN is a great source of interesting links, where else would you go to find interesting articles such as this blog about quitting HN?

There seems to be debate about whether or not this day is good or bad. But it is pretty simple if the scanners are good the day is bad, if the scanners are bad then the day is good. This is the real issue, but there has probably been alot o

The sole purpose of this design is to avoid "the inverted" umbrella problem. But how much a problem is this? I have never seen this happen in real life.

So the way to overcome conscious suboptimal decisions is to keep making more conscious suboptimal decisions? That is what I have been doing wrong... stupid me for trying to change. Jokes aside, you are probably correct, I have always been t

Possibly but then you must also consider the psychological effect of consciously making an illogical decision... which results in habitually justifying irrational behavior

Only because they never looked for it. Did this program decide to look for it on its own (having some idea of strategy, that would be impressive)? Or did the creator tell it to find fastest 7 roach build?

I'm not going to say that this program is useless, but the example shown (7 roach) would have been near trivial to find by a mere human. Tricks like premaking the overlord, using extractor trick, etc. Have been around for over 10 years sinc

I wonder if it is intentional irony that this post about avoiding distractions has videos embedded, that seem to serve no purpose except to entertain and distract. That being the said the irc one was hilarious...

The root of the problem is that conventional programming languages are designed to be written by people and read by computers. With ascii it is arguably easier to do both... So for a solution to be found, priorities need to shift even more
