You acknowledge the existence of things blocking <something>, and can't imagine that there are people who want to see <something>? I feel like when <something> is the sky, potential counterpoints can't be that fa

Took me a couple of seconds to realize that “land” was not a video game.

Example problem that I’ve seen posted about a few times on HN: LLM scrapers (or at least, an explosion of new scrapers) exploding and mindlessly crawling every singly HTTP endpoint of a hosted git-service, instead of just cloning the repo.

Can you provide a source for the illegal drug claim? I'm having a seriously hard time finding any articles on this subject mentioning drugs at all.

You ah, may want to take a peak at the leaderboards. The open-text-input-on-the-internet effect is doing its thing, so to say.

Fwiw, my initial thought (from the picture) was less “prove you’re not a criminal” and more “prove you’re not bringing a massive cart into the quick line. Idealistically, this would reduce the number of jerks tying up these lines for people

I've seen both sides- my nephew is large into pc gaming, but is woefully unaware of how to operate a computer in most capacities. I only realized this when trying to help him troubleshoot and realizing he didn't really understand

Even if you do go to the builder, what are they going to tell you other than “yup. Lock got busted: here, here, and here, you should probably call the <people who investigate break ins for a living>”? I feel like the notification alre

Tangential, but I love your feedback responses. I’m nobody, but I feel like these are exactly how I’d show off a product & then respond to feedback.

Not mentioned is the large, laaarge youth subculture, sometimes called the ‘alt crowd’, that it’s become popular as a positive term- but honestly it’s permeated into the mainstream for sometime already as well. Calling things cunty or sayin

I don’t think that’s really “youtubeisms”, I think it’s just the humor he wanted to use, and it’s a genre present across every social media platform. The only YouTubeism to me was the like and subscribe bs.

Sometimes people like to do things just do do them, because the idea is cool. Sometimes an idea is cool because it has real world ramifications just for existing (trusting trust, supply chain attacks), though many people like to argue about

This is the third time I’ve been nerd sniped with something qntm related in a weeks time. I’ve never been more pleased haha.

Holy shit, this is a world collision I wasn’t ever expecting to see. Thank you for pointing this out, “There Is No Antimemetics Division” is possibly my single favorite piece of fiction I’ve ever read, and I would’ve completely missed this

I don’t know if it helps, but this is how I read through the graph from the first article after reading the authors conclusion. (I’m an idiot) - okay, we’re analyzing DvrDrawImage - Let’s analyze the function on the left, GpBitmap::PipeLock

And their point is that saying “copyright free” will probably be more immediately understandable to people who don’t know that and don’t want to read a small comment about copyright ‘intricacies’ (even if it’s not that intricate) By saying

Just got it. Have is the possessive definition, not the helper verb for a past participle. Read like: How many tiles contain Neanderthals within their tiles?

Entirely off topic, but that post is borderline history. The commenter’s second-most-upvoted poster being u/unidan, to positive reaction? What a time.

This was extremely intriguing to me- I started looking and noticed that I was getting into the 400-500s of posts in the top/year, and not a single had been from within 8 months. That said, on second glance there is something weirdly fu

The problem is that anyone can make a website that asks you for your API key and promptly does none of this- you recognize this, right? You can say that “trustable” websites don’t do that, but that’s the point- why would anyone trust your

Hey, that’s a neat story! Genuinely, I’m not trying to be sarcastic with that- but you didn’t answer his question at all. What’s the point? Your goal is an “MVP stage”- what is your MVP? What are the minimum requisite features that are the

What do you mean by this, genuinely? They describe in their paper- the literal citation that is given at the bottom of the article, exactly what they did to observe superconductivity in this material. No one alleged anything of the sorts th

Why do you keep saying this? At the bottom of the article there’s a clear link to a peer reviewed paper in the journal Nature. Heck there’s a link in the first paragraph too. What is so suspicious here, like what’s the potential malintent b

Do these guys actually think you should only write a singular (or maybe even a low plural number of) html file(s)? That’s crazy haha, that’d be pretty rough to maintain! Could they have been joking that, maybe, there’s a lot of folks who ar

I think the original commenter is right- correct me if I missed what you’re getting at. Keeping it all in the same units until the end here: 1 millionth of 1 meter = (1 / 1,000,000)m = (1e-6m) 1 millionth * 100 = 100 millionths => (

pi’s have been in a state of godawful inventory status, and consequently godawful pricing if you can even find stock, since 2020. I saw a thread recently that alleged that stock was kind of returning to normal ish, but I didn’t get a chance

Yeah, I have some really mixed opinions about this, and it's honestly really conflicting for me. As both a type 1 and a wannabe codemonkey, I love the idea of innovation and new software ~things~ in the t1d world because it's the
