I believe this is just due to how they're parsing the README.md on https://github.com/casey/just. (Though this should probably still be updated)

The installation section has no direct body, but there are subheaders with the actual instructions.

Ex. https://just.systems/man/en/chapter_3.html

Lichess on chrome let's me use however many logical processors I have. For whatever reason I can only get a single thread on Firefox.

I'm not sure why either, because a while back I could use how ever many threads I wanted on Firefox.

I'm curious why, what does face unlock do for you that fingerprint doesn't?

If I'm unlocking my phone, I have my hands on my phone, so using my fingerprint isn't a hassle. Plus with COVID and needing to wear masks, I can still unlock my phone easily without needing to pull down my mask.

The channel name is the same as the github username of the deno db author, so I think it is actually related despite the content not seeming to be

Edit: And the authors website links to this channel

Yes it is irrational. That's a common statistical misconception, the key thing here is that every flip has a 60% chance of being heads.

The result of each flip is completely independent of what came before it. In your example the 7th flip is just as likely to be heads as the first flip, or any of the other 5 flips that landed on heads.

I'm curious what you mean by this, like a service that would handle the encoding?

(Disclaimer: I have no idea what the point of a streaming PC is)

New comment by JacobLinney in "Ask HN: What is your favorite way to read online content?"

JacobLinney — Thu, 28 May 2020 18:34:54 +0000

My system primarily revolves around Instapaper[0].

If I run into anything that looks like it might be intereseting I save it to Instapaper using the browser extension on my workstation, or the app on my phone / tablet.

I also have a handful of email lists that automatically forward into instapaper, and a couple rss feeds that auto send to instapaper (Via ifttt[1]).

When I want to actually consume content I use the instapaper iPadOS app, which has a simple and clean UI. (This can also be done in your browser if you prefer)

Hey, I really like the idea of this, but I don't have time to network everyday, have you considered allowing custom intervals? I.E. 1/week?

Ask HN: Part-Time Freelancing as a Student?

JacobLinney — Sat, 15 Apr 2017 22:54:37 +0000

Hey HN,

I'm currently a high school student who loves to program (self-taught) and has done quite a few programming projects. I'm currently in a bit of a financial deficit and am looking to start freelancing.

I've done a large amount of work with General C# programming, a decent amount of Unity Programming, a sizeable amount of ASP.NET web development, and a little bit of PHP and WordPress development.

Are there any specific places I should know of to look for freelance work relating to those technologies? Or any places that talk about how to get started freelancing?

Thanks, Folks, Jacob
