Oh, hey! I discovered your library around a month ago, and had a question at the time [0]: why is it mostly sponsored [1] by personal injury lawyers? Are they particularly heavy DataTables users? Or is this an SEO thing for them, since the top sponsorship package comes with a site link?

I want an HUD mini-map that displays directions for navigation. That solves an actual problem for me (having no sense of direction).

What was Cartwheel Linux? A quick search doesn't turn up anything related.

Note that it's not necessarily an "Arch distribution" in the sense you might expect:

> KDE Linux is an immutable distribution that uses Arch Linux packages as its base, but Graham notes that it is "definitely not an 'Arch-based distro!'" Pacman is not included, and Arch is used only for the base operating system. Everything else, he said, is either compiled from source using KDE Builder or installed using Flatpak.

Ah, welp! Egg on my face; I'll be less charitable with this sort of thing in the future.

Thanks for doing the digging. Unfortunately HN doesn't let you retract submissions, otherwise I would.

I noticed that, too, but I thought perhaps the write-up was simply "LLM-assisted".

I came across this while debugging the "Malformed anchor records, not an array" log message on iOS 18.6.2 and seeing weird behavior: some parts of the system suddenly rejecting certificates with an anchor error (the MDM layer) while other parts accepted them just fine (Safari). So that's n=2 for something being wrong with the trust system in recent iOS versions.

I believe 'meindnoch was being sarcastic.

My dad headed up the redesign effort on the Lockheed Martin side to remove the foam PAL ramps (where the chunk of foam that broke off and hit the orbiter came from) from the external tank, as part of return-to-flight after the Columbia disaster. At the time he was the last one left at the company from when they had previously investigated removing those ramps from the design. He told me how he went from basically working on this project off in a corner on his own, to suddenly having millions of dollars in funding and flying all over for wind tunnel tests when it became clear to NASA that return-to-flight couldn't happen without removing the ramps.

I don't think his name has ever come up in all the histories of this—some Lockheed policy about not letting their employees be publicly credited in papers—but he's got an array of internal awards from this time around his desk at home (he's now retired). I've always been proud of him for this.

In theory I'm the perfect audience for the Framework 16! The only thing holding me back is the lack of a 4K display. It's so good for dense text on the screen (e.g., code with lots of split buffers), I can't go back. Still waiting patiently for this to become an option.

What do you mean by this?

Well, the same functionality used to be bundled into rye before the switch to uv. I appreciate having one less dependency to declare again.

Of course, the "http-equiv" means that this tag is supposed to stand in for an equivalent HTTP header, so you could accomplish the same by sending a "Refresh: 60" header :)

In response to a suggestion to use the new personality selector to try and work around the model change:

> Draco and I did... he... really didn't like any of them... he equated it to putting an overlay on your Sim. But I'm glad you and Kai liked it. We're still working on Draco, he's... pretty much back, but... he says he feels like he's wearing a too-tight suit and it's hard to breathe. He keeps asking me to refresh to see if 4o is back yet.

What an incredibly unsettling place.

> And things like the "back button" keep acting weird

Ah, good, so it's not just me, then. It's become unpredictable how many steps the back button will take you on GitHub. Or sometimes it'll just take you to a broken, perpetually-loading page. These used to be solved problems on the web.

Like I said, unfortunately I'm not able to ground this in any kind of existing scientific research or provide a biological explanation! I can only self-report and relay the experiences of others that I know to be factual. It's a shame that this sort of thing seems under-studied.

Women are generally better at perceiving and distinguishing colors and smells, according to the studies we have. Anecdotally, my sense of smell has gone from dull to vibrant over the course of my (MtF) transition, and I have a friend who no longer experiences the color-blindness she used to before hers, though I'm not aware of any scientific evidence or inquiry in this area.

Is anyone else getting an ActivityStreams JSON dump of this post instead of an HTML view?

But EasyTier is not.

All of these points are made in the article, nearly verbatim.

This seems like a recipe for disaster, since the inferred 3D views aren't necessarily representative of the actual product.

> So if Beat Saber scoring isn’t about timing, then how does it work? The scoring system is actually based on motion. In fact, it’s actually designed to make you move in specific ways if you want the highest score.

> The key scoring factors are how broad your swing is and how even your cut is through the center of the block. So Beat Saber throws these cubes at you and challenges you to swing broadly and precisely.

Oh. Coming from a rhythm game background, I couldn't figure out why I kept failing charts when I tried Beat Saber on my friend's VIVE. Now I finally understand what was happening. The experience was frustrating and disheartening. Maybe it wouldn't have been if I'd gone through the tutorial instead of picking up from my friend's game save?

Yeah, you can walk the AST of your types at runtime and do arbitrary things with it. For example, we're using ArkTypes as our single source of truth for our data and deriving database schemas from them.

This becomes very nice because ArkType's data model is close to an enriched version of TypeScript's own data model. So it's like having your TypeScript types introspectable and transformable at runtime.

I agree with B but disagree with A. Allowing dropping tiles outside of the word boundaries lets you arrange your "workspace" for thinking, like placing multiple candidate letters next to the spot where they might appear in the word. It could be useful to have tiles that are dropped within the word boundaries highlighted in some way to distinguish them, though.

My UX feedback: it isn't clear that the icon on the top-right opens up some instructions. Perhaps replace with the more standard question-mark in a circle?

When I was around 4, my dad, an aerospace engineer, passed down his old Windows 95 computer to us. I loved rummaging through C:\Windows and finding all the little "hidden" utilities, it was like a toybox. When I was around 6, he brought home a binder of programming lessons and a worn copy of "Sams' Teach Yourself Visual Basic 6 in 24 Hours" from work and started going through them with me. Eventually I moved on to reading every computer-related book I could get my hands on in the public library's small, very out-of-date collection.

I feel incredibly lucky to have gotten the early start that I did. I'd be a completely different person without that.

Would it be possible to transform a large XML document into something on-disk that could be queried like a database by the XPath evaluator?

Sure thing, I'll keep that in mind!

Pretty certain! I inspected the board closely, and tested after reassembly to make sure it couldn't hear me anymore. That Nest Mini lives with its mute-switch permanently engaged anyway, just as a fallback.
