Yahoo used to have a decent restaurants API. I assume that's dead now.

For me anyway, it's getting so familiar with something that your mind wanders and considers other possibilities.

"Repetitio est mater studiorum" - repetition is the mother of learning. My creative writing professor, of all people, used to repeat this three times before every class. He was my favorite teacher at any level.

I think life is extremely rare too. But 200 sextillion is a big number.

Yeah this. I clicked on this hoping it would be about small companies or individuals who make cool, useful tech that might turn a profit but doesn't have the potential or ambition to scale into a unicorn. We need a movement for that st

I think it would be orders of magnitude more astounding if aliens didn't exist than if they did, just given the sheer odds of life only happening once in the observable universe. That's all I'm saying.

I can't know what? That there are ~200 sextillion stars in the known universe? I'm not saying I know there's life out there, just that it would be pretty amazing if something only happened once in 200 sextillion opportunities

2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe, each with 100s of billions of stars on average. How weird would it be if life only arose once out of all those chances?

No no no. We must now have floating headers that don't give any indication they belong to the columns below them, much less that you can click them to sort the columns. 95% of possible actions must only appear when hovered over. Button

This may not be real. I've seen no confirmation or means to reproduce it. https://x.com/awawawhoami/status/1816225589755294128 https://x.com/BigMeeish/status/1816238982948348306

Yeah one of the major problems seems to be CrowdStrike's assumptions that channel files are benign. Which isn't true if there's a bug in your code that only gets triggered by the right virus definition. I don't know how

Not wanting immigration laws enforced is exactly what I'm talking about with nudge-nudge wink-wink. An unenforced law isn't really a law. Also you're crazy if you think most Republicans in Congress actually want immigration l

Does nudge-nudge wink-wink imply official policy to you? How about undocumented immigrants openly hanging outside of Home Depot waiting for work, while everyone looks the other way because contractors rely on them? That feels like unofficia

It's because the US has historically promulgated a nudge-nudge wink-wink attitude that could be summed up as "You can't come here legally, but if you get through our defenses, there will be plenty of work waiting for you.&quo

I once worked on some software that generated PDFs of lab reports for drug companies monitoring clinical trials. These reports had been tested, but not exhaustively. We got a new requirement to give doctors access to print them on demand. B

If the panel setting was specifically for API keys, then yes, that's on apostrophecms. If it's just some kind of generic settings with name/value pairs, then it might make sense to expose those to the browser, and make that v

I'd love for the people downvoting to tell me why I'm wrong to think this is weird.

It seems weird to me that this post is now on page 12 of HackerNews, when all the other posts near it are either days old or only have a few points. https://i.imgur.com/tJ0ZbHE.png Surely, Amazon's tentacles can't

The problem seems to be that there a lot of aligned incentives to turn the humans into rubber stamps for the AI's decision.

Weirdly, after getting a lot of replies and upvotes, this post seems to be completely buried now.

I imagine a scenario where upholding the AI bot's decision is one click of a button for a human. But going against the bot's decision requires filling out an onerous form and making an argument as to why the bot is wrong. And oh y

That's one of the solutions I'm looking into. Right now I'm planning to publish the eBook through Ingram Spark. Other authors have done that and the eBook is still for sale on Amazon. You just can't take advantage of KDP

This Vice series is amazing. The poignant encounter with the tea shop girl who never gets any visitors has always stuck with me.

I just added fetch to my globals array in my global .eslintrc file and I didn't have to add it to 29 other repos. That was nice.

What I like is that there's always someone on here who's a legit expert on any subject imaginable. Like someone can post a pic of an obscure tape drive from the 60s and almost instantly someone can tell you all about it. Or a rigo

Like this site, one of the highest signal to noise ratios on the internet because no one has any incentive to game it.
