Neat find, and I liked the various patches (two-step image serve, post in another channel to fool the cache). This was a fun writeup.

They… will not say that, because they get a large fine if you report them. Every store I've been too has been deeply apologetic when this has happened (a small handful of times in my entire life).

This reply is smug but dreadfully silly.

The giveaway is the handling of information and curiosity. You argue for throwing both away, and it's not clear why. When the author takes away more decimals than they should, the article becomes useless. When the author leaves in more decimals than they should, I round "with my eyes" to my desired precision. As a bonus, I can take their numbers and spot-check them easily.

The author put up a fun piece on a board game review website and summarized that the dice are fine. You ask what the threshold is, I say use your brain and eyes to pick one. We only need to read this once, not grade 200, so we don't need to invent an arbitrary cutoff.

If you treat students or coworkers in this way, I hope it is clear to them that you respect rubrics more than the actual "Ask a question, gather data, answer it in public" scientific process and that they do not mistake stodgy rules for must-follow procedures. It would be a shame to scare people off from rolling dice on the internet because someone may say there are too few p-values or too many decimal places.

HN is a place where people can be expected to go beyond the title (though I like the limited script and am glad it was posted). Misleading titles are not uncommonly flagged and changed, even.

I agree that a second issue doesn't erase the first, but also I've got enough work experience to know that a system which can be brought down by 1 person no matter the tooling they use is a system not destined to last for long.

Despite multiple comments blaming the AI agent, I think it's the backups that are the problem here, right? With backups, almost any destructive action can be rolled back, whether it's from a dumb robot, a mistaken junior, or a sleep-deprived senior. Without, you're sort of running the clock waiting for disaster.

Ah, nice. Some of the gloves are very hard to read.

That seems like it cannot be true? The words are 11, 5, 2, 12, 7, 7 letters long. It cannot be "stop throwing your gloves on the ground".

The correct answer is XER?APUOBIA LEADS TO INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED CARROTS

I do not know why you did not spot check the number of letters!

It turns out that both phrases are used like this, similarly to how they teach in logic classes that "but" is just "and" in fancy clothing, but actual usage is quite different. Actually, a lot of language is just signpost phrasing that "helps the medicine go down" by giving hints at how the following idea will connect to this one.

Both phrases are used like this— let me explain:

Logic classes teach that "but" is just "and" in fancy clothing, and actual usage is quite different. A lot of language is signpost phrasing that "helps the medicine go down" by giving hints at how the following idea will connect to this one.

The THIRD sentence in the article explains that they ship to the US. You are tone-policing your hallucinated version of the article!

> Enter Navjot Sawhney, who founded the UK-based social enterprise The Washing Machine Project (TWMP) to tackle this, and has now shipped almost 500 of his hand-crank Divya machines to 13 countries, including Mexico, Ghana, Iraq *and the US.*

Yes, it matters, and big companies can do fantastic things by designing extremely expansive fonts which make it easy to include users speaking plenty of languages that we developers don't even know about.

When you say that it would "almost be like a punishment for Linux users", I think you're wrong, because it literally would be a value add. There is something interesting about the fact that offering you 10% more value would be taken as a downgrade

…They are also building email

Holy crap this is going to let me move some privacy-focused folks over to join me in Kagitopia. Good job guys, you are always working on something cool.

Huh, this looks very neat. I like the effect that happens briefly while you scroll.

Privacy.com is what I've used the past half decade

Explain?

That's not an oxymoron.

If before the top show was seen by 90% of all customers, and now each of 20 shows is watched by 5%, it will be comparatively very hard to find someone who has watched the most-viewed show of today despite it being the most watched.

You panned someone for understanding basic math.

He's aware. When someone disagrees with you about AI, sending them Plato entries is generally unhelpful and pointless

This is not correct. If we want to explain why the sidewalk is wet, and 99% of the time it is because of sprinklers and 1% of the time it is because of rain, then "The sprinklers do not alone explain the wetness", but "The wetness cannot be explained by the sprinklers" is a foolish thing to say.

Everyone saying "This isn't a speedup, this is VSCode stopping being dumb" hasn't read carefully enough:

The speedup is from taking extension code built on a limited API and implementing it inside VSCode, using more information while doing so.

grep

There would be infinite m/v there, and finite everywhere without infinite density, so literally every single random draw of a single mass-unit would be in an area of infinite density, or so goes the idea.

(This is not sarcastic) How do we know we aren't?

I bet you can I get a better SAT score than any "Ursus arctos horribilis" that you can field ;)

They meant licking an eStamp, duh

It's a joke

The thing it's trendy to hate on is probably just like other things it's been trendy to hate on, and claiming otherwise looks pretty silly. Unless flavored vapes are also a potential filter event, that is.

That's silly. The show's content is not going to be worse because you don't need a team of animators. Instead, think of "free easy animation" as a tool which lets writers start up an attempt solo.

The "superficiality" is perfectly unrelated.
