Is this concept often mentioned in mainstream media? This is mentioned a lot around here. My hypothesis is that a "hn-bias" makes commenters more likely to mention it because they learned here that there is an explicit concept to

As someone working mostly in digital (Krita) and some traditional, it feels like this feels like this demo fails at replicating any of their strengths. I hope the software they sell is much better, and if that's the case I would assume

We have reached a point where it has been a mainstream position to view the idea of defending free speech as disagreeable, or even deeply offensive. This statement is so weak that it is necessary to consider this climate to even understand

>it's not clear even the people making the claims believe it. They don't seem to mind ideas that contradict theirs, so long as the central belief that there is some sort of vast conspiracy is upheld. That seems like a truly biz

I don't think GP was trying to make a strawman, for me DCVS is a solved problem thanks to git, and all arguments I ever heard were basically people not wanting to put any effort into it and then pretending this is because 'git is

A friend introduced me to the HP-40G in high school, while everybody was using TI or Casio. Turns out these calculators can beep with a given frequency! So I learned (some of) the physics of sound to be able to program music. So it really p

They classify the models upon reproducibility and openness criteria. So a freely accessible model lacking proper documentation/reproducibility is essentially seen as non-free: "toxic candy" follows all Free Software good prac

Nice project! It feels like it is missing ways to help you get to understand things on your own, so a bit more like a test than a real game. Maybe a codegolf scoring (number of characters) and/or semantic scoring (number of atomic expr

This is exactly what is done with invoices. You can get them as pdf that embed its content as xml, and the receiving ERP software that will load it will try to find the xml, or default to OCR.

It's also way easier to have "good colors" (in a color theoretical sense) this way, and achieve a coherent and consistent look throughout the movie. It's thus one of the best ways to keep budget down, as it will hide a l

I guess this is about the "average" paradox? There is a presentation will probably appeal to the average hn user (hopefully). Across one dimension, nobody would feel the need to question the utility of considering an average, e.g

In 1984, when the government changes its opinion about something; the enemy of yesterday becomes today's ally, then all history books are reprinted to make it as if it had always been a historical fact. In the book, he goes on about th

Everytime I see such a thread, I wonder how many subcommunities there are on hn. Unless you suffer from a very strong case of Gell-Mann amnesia, I don't see how it is possible to be aware of such efforts and then not question any of t

I would like to share that far from sticking it to big companies, piracy hurt independent creators way more than big corporate interests. Sure, software behemoths would be even happier to squeeze out more pennies from individual purchases,

Only the Kuru Toga have this system. You might want to try the Pentel Orenz which is another approach, with the (retractable) metal sleeve following the lead. Both features seem to me to "get inbetween" me and the pencil while dra

Both replies make it seem like I'm suggesting people should express themselves like that. I'm not using any of these memes, and as pointed out it's quite out of place on hn. I just wanted to clarify the misunderstanding.

It's an issue of shared language -- or zoomer-talk as some would put it. But "zoomer" is itself a term that would probably require some explanation. I've also had some very bad reactions to talking about "high-leve

>“Delete this” just reeks of arrogance and faux dominance. It's a meme. On imageboards, Discord etc it is commonplace to post a funny image, usually of a cute character, with a gun, and the "delete this" caption. Doing an

Thank you for this comment that is beyond parody. For your information, this kind of planned massive change in the environment always ends in disaster, and is a hallmark of totalitarian thinking, e.g. Mao's Four Pests campaign.

Someone posted "The bicycle is the slow death of the planet" not so long ago. It's not meant to be taken literally, but this is not very far from some people's line of thinking.

Technology does not respect biology. There is a mechanical view of man, that is similar to what hydroponics is to gardening. You look what are the required nutrients etc, and provide just that in a very sterile environment. Of course, the

There's a tendency in proof theory circle to dismiss set theory and related foundational work, yet it is ultimately the basis that is used (other foundational programs with 'better properties' tend to have worse issues). So i

You are trying to find an answer through logical means. This means you need to find a framework with a clearly defined set of axioms and clear reduction rules that bring you to the correct answer. The world does not work like this. All conc

I wish that would be the standard with which we evaluated languages. "Easy" syntax and features make up for a bloat such that such tasks become far more complicated. Which also implies that you have to rely too much on tests, re

There's a lot of words, but no data in these posts. The only argument is that sales are expected to decline very fast, so stopping piracy there is very efficient. I would argue it is quite dishonest to pretend Steam is popular because
