Something1234··on What's that touchscreen in my room?
I want to know more. History of java is just insanely weird.
Something1234··on Amazon Cuts Jobs in Prime Video and MGM Studios
The Netflix numbers were based on hours viewed per season globally. It was not broken out per episode or anything more granular. Would be curious to know exactly how they count everything and make sure that views don't get lost.
Something1234··on First Private Mission to Venus
I want more details on what exactly is going to happen for this mission.

What exactly is going to sit in the atmosphere of Venus? What does it look like? When does it launch?

Something1234··on Committing Without Git
There's an api to update a Colab cell publicly available? That's wild. I thought for sure it would be locked down.
Something1234··on Show HN: Build Atari Games in the Browser
Author here.

I built this after watching a "Retro Game Mechanics Explained" video because I wanted to play with it, and I always struggle with keeping my toolchains setup and ready to go.

Hopefully, people find this useful.

Something1234··on Committing Without Git
Alright I'm really curious on the use case of this. Is it for debugging assistance or anything else?
Something1234··on Blogging Like a Hacker (2008)
Any advice on speeding up jekyll, it's taking upwards of 10 seconds for updates to show up when running locally with `jekyll s`. I only have a hundred or so posts. It shouldn't take that long.
Something1234··on Owners Keep Zombie Malls Alive Even When Towns Want to Pull the Plug
It's embarrassing when it's your home town, and everywhere else in that area is becoming nicer and more gentrified.
Something1234··on Privacy Badger: A browser extension that learns to block invisible trackers
Any reason not to use Privacy Badger and uBlock?
Something1234··on Big Insurance Met Match When Turned Down a Lawyer's Request for Cancer Treatment
Honestly, a really good story well written. Should be read by more people. It's really quite strange how opaque most of these processes are. How they are handled and documented is also quite nuts.
Something1234··on Sam Bankman-Fried doesn't recall
MIT has had a bunch of con artists and scammers walk through it's doors. It's amazing how often it happens. A whole lotta con artists and grifters. Why?
Something1234··on Show HN: how I built the largest open database of Australian law
Govinfo.gov and the house provides the entire us law corpus but it's weird
Something1234··on I think GCP is better than AWS (2020)
Would be interested in the presentation if you can share publicly
Something1234··on I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream (1967)
Honestly I would really like to see a breakdown of the literary diets of each generation, and recommendations. Would be fun to read and try to embrace each perspective.
Something1234··on Feature Request: Removal of '-F' Short Option in 'Rm' Command
Alias at the top of your script. Sure /bin/bash doesn't read .bashrc when ran in batch mode, doesn't mean you can't patch your script.
Something1234··on Radar Maps Platform
Do you have a static maps api I can push some geojson to draw over?
Something1234··on AWS IPv4 Estate Now Worth $4.5B
I would really like to see the results of this research to understand what is going on there.
Something1234··on Robots pouring drinks in Vegas: As AI grows, the city's workers brace for change
I think it's more about the quality and aggression in the shake.
Something1234··on Robots pouring drinks in Vegas: As AI grows, the city's workers brace for change
Robots make really bad drinks. I had a long island made by one of these robots in Prague. It was honestly really sad, and the most second expensive drink I had over there.
Something1234··on Experimental Alzheimer's Vaccine Shows Promise in Mice
> The only intervention I know of that shows robust results preventing Alzheimers is having been recently vaccinated. It doesn't seem to matter much for what, but several population studies, involving tens of thousands of patients and controlling for lifestyle confounders, show a reliable 40% reduction in dementia risk for people recently vaccinated for TDaP. Nobody will talk about it, apparently because it is embarrassing to have no clue why it works. (Pressed, people mumble about inflammation.) And, of course, no money is spent figuring it out, or figuring out why vaccination doesn't seem to help the other 60%.

Source? This sounds like a theory I would've seen here before.

Something1234··on Like all workers, federal employees need to get back to the office
You need to read some books on how governments actually function. The purpose of government is to be able to run on stooges.

And many of them are motivated and decent human beings interested in making a difference in as many lives as possible. You don't have to be so angry at them.

Something1234··on The Mac Pro’s biggest problem is the MacBook
What even is unaccelerated video?
Something1234··on Live Cyber Threat Map
I can't wait until someone points out all the ways this is incorrect and just marketing bs.
Something1234··on TV doctors say annual checkups save lives – real doctors call bullshit (2016)
At the turn of the century in the early 1900s we were nuking babies' thyroids cause the only corpses they could find had diseased thyroids and the healthy babies had them. So obviously something must be wrong.

There's always value in the counter example to see where our processes breakdown and fail.

What we learn tomorrow in how abnormal our bodies are from another?

Something1234··on The Many Problems with Celery
Celery has so many issues and this outlines just a few of them. I was working on celery for a while on one of my personal projects and it's just absolutely insane what you have to do to get it working with django. It's so incredibly over engineered nad powered by magic.
Something1234··on My OS/2 barf bag story
Sometimes I hear these stories, and wonder how people in the future will find these kinds anecdotes and understand them. Will they even be able to discover them? Is there going to be a modern version of the jargon file?
Something1234··on Two Office Landlords Defaulting May Be Just the Beginning
Sounds a lot like the informal roommates agreement where one of them is secretly the owner.
Something1234··on Draculas, Ranked
Anyone know about a show that was genre savvy about Dracula's? Like they explicitly called it out?
Something1234··on Crypto Faces Legal Reckoning as SEC Prepares Action Against Coinbase
As they freaking should. I can't get their export of tax data to line up for the cost basis vs the gains there were random nulls in it and I don't know how to fix it. All the crypto I had was bought on Coinbase, and it doesn't know the cost basis.
Something1234··on sqlean: A set of SQLite extensions
One of the issues I've had is using custom extensions on aws lambda with python. Even if you build them properly it really doesn't like to load extra native code.
