jzox··on Successful people set constraints rather than chasing goals
There is a mathematical parallel here. Boundary conditions are essential for solving PDEs and ensuring that the solution is physically relevant and unique.

The goal here is “solving the PDE” and the constraints ensure the solution accurately models the physical environment of the problem. Without constraints there can be an infinite number of solutions

jzox··on Show HN: APIRank.dev – We crawled and ranked public APIs from the internet
When determining the median API response time, is that done from several locations? Not clear if the timing would be due to network or application latency.

Link to the webinar, in case anyone is wondering:

jzox··on Yoshie Shiratori: the miso soup prison break
> When the guards delivered meals however, he would always drip miso soup on the handcuffs and food slot, both of which became corroded, allowing Shiratori to break them.

Yoshie Shiratori would have probably been a great hacker if he was born at the right time in the right environment

jzox··on The last digit of any integer n^5 is n itself
Taken from the original post which is badly worded. It should read, the last digit of n^5 is always equal to the last digit of n
jzox··on Google sues me for using the word “droid” in my company name Orpheusdroid
What ever happened to the motto “don’t be evil”?
jzox··on Regex that only matches itself
Reminds me of a quine - a non-empty computer program which takes no input and produces a copy of its own source code as its only output

jzox··on Ask HN: Does anyone find Google "search API" rate limiting annoying?
There are some alternatives, but it really depends what you need it for?
