The author used popovers to store state and calculate results. They also used JavaScript to generate the HTML. And hate properly capitalising “MB”. The demo indicates it only works on Chrome, however it worked fine on Firefox on iOS (so jus

Not directly relevant, however the way that HN removes specific words from titles has become a tad obnoxious and patronising. In this specific case, the title is accurate, and HN’s title modification is wrong. I guess the removal of “how” w

There’s a joke going around that a few years ago, when NN employees used to introduce themselves, people would correct them “Did you mean Novartis?” Now, it’s Novartis employees who are being corrected.

I’ve never had one. Never had an IG account. I’ve sadly not been able to escape WhatsApp. An interesting side effect of this: I don’t have contact with any childhood friends. I have no idea what anyone became. Creepy thing: I was once made

I’m not Danish :) In France you can borrow with a 5-15% down payment. In Denmark, as a Dane, you can easily get a mortgage with a 5-10% down payment. As a foreigner, it’s almost impossible to get with less than 20%. I’m being asked for 30%

I’ve created about 50 Python projects in the last 3 years that are in production, not a single one uses PyTorch.

500k on 100k income? The rule of thumb for banks in Denmark is to take your yearly income (before tax) and multiply it by four, and that’s what you’re allowed to borrow. So your friend is over-indebted by Danish standards. As a foreigner, b

One of my clients has their own instance of ChatGPT running. It is running on dedicated hardware, is trained on different data, and we can change the core prompts with relative ease. We even get to tune some temperature coefficient, which a

Not a direct answer, but I do get a decent amount of contracting work for Rust. Mostly for 2-3 year old projects where the original Rust developer has moved on and they need a small fix or feature change.

Using Rust without using the features provided by Cargo is akin to buying an electric car and asking for all the electronics to be removed. Rust libraries will never be shipped by your distro’s package manager. Maybe a few exceptions for th

In Denmark, US$100k -- 700k DKK, will give you a pretty generous life. You can rent a large flat for yourself, and you can party every weekend. You can pretty much order in for every meal as well. Try living in SF on US$100k. Source: I supp

Not exactly sure what taxes this guy is paying, but I’ve never heard of the 15 + 15%. Most everyone I know is on the 39% bracket, or higher if they’re high earners. Electronics aren’t necessarily more expensive, Europe just has VAT included

Do you think there’s a way to do the same with AirPlay 2 without the use of an iDevice in the middle?

I participated in a rally with Trabants through Budapest. Some people would get excited to see us rally the cars. Some would honk, others would wave. A lot of the traffic would let us through. On the dashboard, there was a sticker to remind

Last spring, I stopped at a nice brunch place in central Hamburg. The waitress spoke English and asked where we were from, etc. Usual touristy stuff. When it was time to pay, we were surprised to hear only local German cards were accepted.

I haven’t worked with them in a few years, and I’ve never used their SMS features, so I can’t promise they will be a good fit, however I’ve worked with DIDWW for a while and they were significantly cheaper than Twilio. I only used them for

I have an iPhone, however I’m not on any mainstream social media, and I’m very conservative with the apps I do install, and I prune aggressively. I rarely get push notifications (maybe a handful a week, in that ballpark) from apps. Obviousl

Depends on the shop. At Rema 1000 (Norwegian brand), there’s no gate, you just a number on your phone that you might have to show to a clerk if they ask. You exit by walking past people being checked out by a cashier. At Netto and Føtex (Da

Here in Denmark, I use the “Scan & Go” feature whenever available. I use my own bag, scan items using my phone before dropping them into the bag, and use Apple Pay to finalise the whole transaction. A QR code is displayed on my phone al

I believe you critically misunderstood the point the person you replied to was making. You’re all in violent agreement. Maybe drop the ad hominem.

For folks not into embedded development, semihosting is sort of like remote debugging. The application runs on the microcontroller, and the output is displayed in your IDE/terminal. Depending on the capabilities of the microcontroller

I got my phone on Tuesday and already see the status bar at the top burnt in. It’s extremely faint, but it’s there. I don’t care about this article or “Android techie” in particular, however I’m glad this issue was brought to my attention.
