The mathematical notation has developed over centuries to __think about and solve problems on paper __. Besides it being taught in schools and hence familiar, I think it’s not at all a good tool to use in the significantly different digi

Czech Republic is in Central Europe, not Eastern Europe. Check wikipedia if you don’t believe me. Otherwise awesome!

I think it makes sense. There is absolutely space. BUT you couldn’t move the people through the city and bay area with current infrastructure. Money (in big amounts) needs to be taken away from roadwork and poured into public transport.

I respectfully disagree. The articles and discussion here specifically talk about the enjoyment of Market street for pedestrians and cyclists. I am not suggesting to use money allocated for transportation on something else. I’m suggesting t

Here's a documentary including the original 1968 documentary of the experiment on army officers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qNK3dQES6I It's pretty hilarious (if you understand Czech). The officers are issuin

This is probably commendable, but for me personally, cars, or state of pavement, are not the biggest problems to enjoying Market street. The homelessness crisis is. I’m surprised no one yet mentioned it in this long thread. $600 million mig

The article talks about two different things: 1) Whether the iPad is revolutionary, and how in this respect it compares to the iPhone and the Mac. 2) iPad’s split-screen UX The two are not linked in a casual relationship imho. I personally

This is a great list, and totally matches my experience. I also agree this is solvable with tooling. A) VS Code / IDE needs to be the primary editor B) Results are not stored with source C) Export (build) allows packaging for whatever

Covering up is not always technically possible. It’s easy to expose data through some unprotected end point, but that end point might still be logged, and turning off the logging/deleting the logs might be a completely different challe

I agree, it's a shame we don't push Hack more broadly (in general I think the reason is our teams are focused on internal adoption and improvements, and don't feel they would benefit from supporting open source community), it

I’m glad that this your view, thanks for the clarification. You did literally write that ad tech is on the “opposite end of meaningful work spectrum”, and we both agree that space exploration is certainly on the positive end of it. This lit

No, I have never used an ad blocker, and I know plenty of people who aren’t bothered to either. I am pretty UX-focused, but I don’t frequent any sites were I would think: god, this is unusable because of the ads. (I do find sites where UX i

1. Ad tech is a product which ~10 million businesses and people online are willing to pay for (over $100B/year), for several years now. It’s extremely unlikely that it provides no positive effect to all these customers. 2. Ad Tech is t

I guess it’s a suicide to point this out on HN, but not everyone thinks Ad Tech is the opposite of meaningful work. I think it’s a very “limited imagination” point of view if you a) can’t think of anything less meaningful that people spend

This is a good point, but isn’t the US skewed towards trucks (both big and consumer) over vans? I’m guessing from my experience living in the US and EU. (And those stats are likely counting consumer trucks into the passenger category). This

They do include both sets (0, o and 1, l, I). That said I absolutely agree that this is far from the best approach to 0 and o.

I really wish we had more popular representations of the later empire. So many people believe that today’s world where people visit and settle from all around is something completely new and perhaps bad. Perhaps if they knew what the Roman

TBH if you're creating a new language after 2014 you should be thinking about how to get good syntax highlighting and other tooling from the language definition itself, because you're competing with a ton of mature languages that

It might be easier, but it's trivial to come up with cases where you cannot generate an example that completely satisfies given JSON schema. It feels like this only works for some specific rigid JSON protocols. You also cannot restric

But note that looking for predictions that worked out leads you to “safe” predictions. I would like to see a list of things that were big that no one predicted. (Uber?)

I think a better analogy is probably that engineers are also not willing to implement any feature anyone asks for. The company has a lot of public statements that are easy to find, and the people who aren’t “providing comments” are likely e

Certainly Kotlin vs Java looks a lot like CoffeeScript vs JS. For one, CoffeeScript had great impact on JS, and still has a few advantages (along its disadvantages). Perhaps Kotlin will play the same role. But I'm doubtful Java can evo
