Seconded! It is delightfully apt for its purpose and to the point.

What does it mean in this context to compete against yourself? Anything at immediately at hand or on the todo list? Or is it just a reminder to get something done you thought of doing but normally wouldn't otherwise?

I've been told by recruiters directly that the multicolumn layout style can mess up applicant tracking systems, so it's best to go with the standard format. It looks boring, but it won't cause the system to reject your resume

Watched a Torvalds video where he was at debconf (I think?) and someone asked him if he goes to Hacker News at all. Went to Google, and the rest is history.

Chalk on a slate tablet? What a waste, I just burned several chunks of wood in a particular way.

Not a good source of input, but I've had a Chromebook for the last ~8 years that has no cracks or broken anything. I've only had to replace the SSD once in the entire time it's been running near 24/7 as a home server and

There are examples, yes, but I took it as the implication that a 10x engineer shouldn't be the bare minimum for the entire workforce's ability to reason about a problem or dedication to its craft (and thus lead to the meme that on

My workplace uses SMS. There are also many people in the US who do not carry smartphones, either. So at least here it is still very much in use.

Is this ageism implied for SV and like companies, or all of them in general (implied US-based anyway)? I can't speak in either instance at this time, but I'd like to think ageism isn't nearly as widespread as it seems when di

I imagine that, along with any data for TRAPPIST, is on the [very long] list of things to do. Otherwise I'm sure it'd be posted here in no time

I imagine it'll be much like the old days of dialup where I would turn the computer on, go do something, come back and connect to the ISP, then go away again for a few minutes.

I hadn't initially considered a Chromebook until I found out about GalliumOS. Then I realized I could get a lightweight, cheap laptop, that also has fantastic battery life. I've tried putting both plain Arch and Debian on it, but

Pretty neat. I should try to make something like this sometime. Side note, but it would be better to put, e.g., "A no-nonsense backup and encryption tool" alongside the "Show HN." I didn't know what I was clicking o

I love little things like this. It's fun to do something either by accident or with whimsy, thinking about the ridiculousness, and then find out something actually happens!

My rule of thumb is find a balance between "getting to the point" and accuracy. A study by itself in a specialized field will only be intelligible by a select group, but a science-based news site that can condense it appropriately

Sorry for the edited title. The original is too long to comfortably fit in the title here. The ArXiv paper here (pdf): https://arxiv.org/pdf/2207.12356.pdf

Weird. Seems like they used to have much more technical sponsors in the past. Hopefully this doesn't mean that a financial crisis is looming?

I agree, with details: On occasion I end up seeing the reposts first because they're on the front page or second page rather than "the main one" with more upvotes and comments. Plus the timing. I might see the duplicate afte

At first glance, it would be better with more separation of sections rather than cramming it all on one page. After a while it does become unruly, but it could be improved over time and after test case reports. Some common functionality in
