Wow, must try to watch it. I remember reading The City & the City and thinking about how visually it would be... different clothes, overlapping murals?

I've realized that when I use cheap pens on hotel stationery, my handwriting looks terrible, probably because the surfaces are too smooth? Other than fountain pens, are there other alternatives that give more tactile feedback?

I'm more amazed that the authors could cite 52 references of similar studies!

Right, OLTP vs OLAP are very different workloads (using the car analogy, that would be like using a ferrari to tow a trailer, and an F250 to... oh wait, an F250 can do anything!). But seriously though, even if you use postgres, as a former

I like the way you can use the tabs to check the results of each reviewed cloud storage service, and the exposition on each. Anybody know what the authors used to create this website? Custom built, or a templated version?

seafile is open source ( https://github.com/haiwen/seafile ), or at least was, when I looked at it years ago. Definitely a concern when the paper mentioned an acknowledge of the protocol downgrade as of 29th April 2024,

xkcd has targeted humor, which I think GANs are not able to demonstrate (at least for now!)

I went through a phase where I enjoyed short stories more than a book, as many authors have used that form (the short story) to work on a particular theme or topic of interest to them. Orson Scott Card's Maps in a Mirrors comes to mind

Someone explain to me please, how type-safe and JSON can even exist in the same sentence? JSON has so many edge cases for handling numbers, floats, bools etc. Why would you not use gRPC or even something like CapnProto if you want to main

I understand your fascination with barefoot training, but it is a bit extremist. I too have tried VFFs and other barefoot shoes (I competed in a deadlift competition once, wearing merrell minumus), and do a lot of gym stuff without shoes,

Counterpoint: I've run 7 marathons in 7 consecutive days, whilst wearing some low-profile altras, and after the mid-way, I was switching to more cushier ones.

I guess it depends on the usage. A pair of La Sportiva G2 SMs is about $1000, and over a 3 week expedition, let's say I wear those 10 of the days (I wouldn't wear double boots all the time), so that's $10/toe ($1000&#x2

I assume by python-esque they meant monty python-esque (comedy-esque, versus python the programming language-esque), so remember to context switch, especially if you went to read the article from HN!

Maybe I didn't communicate this properly? - I saved a lot of time taking a car train, instead of just driving my car through windy roads - Similarly, I could see a HSR car train, if there was such a thing, saving a lot of time (a

In support of HSRs; I recently took a car train in Switzerland. They have - I think - 5 of these, which take a shortcut tunnel through various mountains, and saves you quite a bit of time, as well as angst driving through narrow and windy

TIL about fountain codes and raptor. Thanks! I wonder if it opens up new opportunities erasure coding replacements, e.g. RAID for disks, PARQ2 for data recovery, or as Reed-Solomon replacements for comms?

Last time I bought a brand new car (~8 years ago?), the dealer told me I couldn't pay more than $X amount, using credit cards, on the car, so I still needed a bank check for the rest (they wouldn't accept a personal check either).

+1 for go-jet. I came from python and sqlalchemy, where I used the declarative form to generate dynamic SQL (vs using the ORM, since I am fine with SQL) and go-jet allows me to do something similar in Go. I wish go-jet would also start supp

n=3 is the exception, but if the library is otherwise divisible by three, you can't sort it in it's entirety. as example: the library has 6 cards; the spell allows you to choose the top 3 cards and put them into the bottom in any
