They pay streamers to make it look big, and then their viewers have to use chess.com if they want to play them. I have fallen in love with chess again over the past few months, and lichess is an absolutely amazing experience. Their mobile c

A user wanting things to work out of the box vs not actually having control is not the same. I think the OP meant in terms of if you don't want the same non OSS binaries nVidia ships you can install something else?

I got recommended this on my YouTube over the weekend and learnt about steno, something I don't know much about. https://youtu.be/nRp_1S7cj6A Fascinating stuff!

We use fivetran for Heroku postgres, but also use it for other random sources to Snowflake. It's decent.

Well that would be why it's so much slower than it use to be! HN is one of the last bastions of fast sites :(

Isn’t that ctrl+shift+v? It is for Linux and I think windows too?

I'm happy to pay for YT Red for no ads, background play etc on my mobile devices. I use the platform quite a bit and it's fine for that. If you're really cheap you can signup through their indian link for a couple of dollars

Ah awesome! Yeah, thanks, that's perfect. Have been a license holder of SL since 2013, so happy to renew :-)

After having sublime have the same theme for years, changing the theme in v4 is very jarring. Is it possible to go back to the same theme that comes OOTB in v3?

Huh? Elixir isn't memory effecient, compared to what exactly :)?

by thejosh 5y ago
Yep, when you consider a language "done", you can focus on bringing up the DX. I have been loving Elixir since 2016 and haven't looked back since, using it as my primary language for what it's good for, which is web base

do you know any devs who use spaces who press space 2-4 times instead of their tab key that indents it 2-4 spaces?

It's a great way to get decent content, I think DigitalOcean and Linode use (still?) do that. Great marketing tactics to boost website traffic :-).

Yeah, I tried picking rust up a few years ago and ran into a few weird issues that would block me from making good progress. I've now used it to create a parser that reads data and converts it to other formats (for my bespoke needs) an

Agreed on this point, and most companies who would want to do these sorts of things would restrict it even if Cloudflare didn't exist. I really can't think of a good solution. But that's the tricky position Cloudflare is in -

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to reply. You mentioned about "legit" crawlers, what defines a "legit" crawler in the eyes of Cloudflare, and what happens when Cloudflare suddenly decides it does not want to honour that &

I think the times killed IRC. People wanted an easier way to communicate with a lower barrier to entry. Even tech communities with tech people are now all on slack etc, it's just the way the world works now :-(.

Cloudflare is both a great thing and a terrible thing that has happened to the internet in recent years. Great in that they have a fantastic UI to add your site in, basically shielding the average user from attacks. Bad from a standpoint of

Yeah ipython-sql is great and works well, and can use an environment variable for the connection string.

You might want to check out Snowflake for something like this, it makes searching pretty easy, especially as it seems your data is semi-static? We use it pretty extensively at work and it's great. For your usecase it'll be very ch

Why the f do I have to use a service like billgist to get a breakdown of my services? AWS billing IS complicated but could be made so much simpler...

Microsoft has really pushed this in the recent(?) versions of Windows 10. When it was first released it wasn't this bad, now it pretty much forces you during install to link an account then also forces you later (as you mentioned).

Makes me super pleased to use Elixir/Ecto and their sandboxes with these sorts of hacks that are required.

I like this about elixir, in the documentation you can use exdoc to make sure that the code examples actually work, and provide code samples that are tested. It makes reading documentation for projects quite nice.
