The whole point of the debate is that the fetus has no choice during an absorption, not some “moral” ground that you are imposing to someone else.

Maybe because these is an obvious benefit of physical exercises and that there are no health benefits to learn a new topic after having already exhausted your brain sitting +7 hours at work?

Even if you don’t know or remember the basics of combinatorics you can solve the problem with basic dynamic programming : start with the unit grid and then expend it.

I'm responsible for hiring junior C++ developers in a small company (first role). Let met tell you that almost all candidates are stating "medium" level in C++ in their resume but don't even know how to work with pointers or references, they don't even have the level of someone studying the language for half a day. And I don't even think it's related to AI. Whatever the reason, it's very easy to assert a candidate competency with a 30 minutes to an hour interview in person.

Today I have simply given up trying not to share my personal information. What I do instead is simply blocking all ads and don’t use apps/websites that can’t be used without ad blocking. They may have many personal details like my favorite ice cream flavor but I get zero ads so I don’t care that much (I would prefer no one having this information but I’m pragmatic in such terrible society).

There is no lie or misleading information about rust in the title so it’s clearly not clickbait.

There is a uBlock Origin Lite extension for Safari available in the App Store. Technically not as powerful (hence the “lite” in the name) but it’s perfectly blocking all ads for my usage.

Do not forget the new recents ads in Apple Maps.

I’m pretty confident that at least 95% of HN users use adblocking so clearly the users are not worth much to the ad companies. Today I have absolutely zero ads on my devices.

Not everyone live in a big city.

For hiking trails, I highly recommend https://www.comaps.app/. It's simply miles ahead of Google Maps and Apple Maps for hike and biking.

Non-owning view over a single element should simply be a reference, you don’t care where this element is located.

It can be way more than 2 hours depending on the project.

New comment by cocoto in "Idempotency Is Easy Until the Second Request Is Different"

cocoto — Sun, 10 May 2026 10:04:28 +0000

In your example, idempotency means same request + same state = same response. State becomes part of the request, that’s why it is hard.

Yes but LED lights need to be connected to some electricity source, which is inconvenient in some scenarios.

Replace your material content with lorem ipsum or garbage LLM content and upload it to Canvas to test the accessibility of your documents if required.

Wouldn’t a real live render approach work in this case? Have a live preview of your tool inside a rectangle. If the tool is light it should be optimal visually: it will respect browser rendering settings like accessibility parameters or custom addons.

Pc hardware stores often have some keyboards available to try (mostly cheap cherry mx stuff).

I’m sure Android and iOS could add some AI feature to let some specific noises in the headset when needed (baby cries when enabled, smoke detector alarms, bike/car bells, etc). Simply stop the music for the duration of the specific noise and replay it. That would be a cool use of AI.

Simple, provide a simple API, let the community build the clients for the machines they have.
