One suggestion for improvement is avoiding creation of self referential links. For example https://halupedia.com/chaldic-arithmetic has many references links to itself.

Yeah, the way I've been doing it is when I complete an old puzzle I hit back to get to my next "old" puzzle. Still have to keep a tab open so I don't have to click through the pages of puzzles I've completed though.

James May did a car "review" with Margaret Calvert years back in an episode of Top Gear. Was a bit of a departure from regular Top Gear but certainly interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTDB3dpe3eg

I'd chalk that up to a change in terminology over time, I could be wrong there though

I'm unfamiliar with this. How would they steal it if they bought the open source project?

Although they don't explicitly mention it much I it doesn't seem like they missed out on socializing.

> barring one final class I took online the following summer while I was couch-surfing in San Francisco with random internet friends.

> I soon moved to Cambridge in a group house I started with some friends from the Bay

Some people do seem to have the capacity to take on class loads like this person described while still managing a social life. The university I went to essentially requires engineering students to take more than 5 classes a semester and some of them were incredibly social.

While I agree this person frames it like they've hacked the system by doing something they're not the first to do it's definitely uncommon to have a masters degree by 21.

Do SimpleLogin's aliases use your custom domain and/or does it use sub-addressing (plus addressing)? I wonder how much longer they'll offer that price given Proton's plan for those features is $10/mo, limited to 15 email addresses and the unlimited aliases are randomly generated.

> This may surprise you as a HN user, since overly hateful content is indeed often flagged and not immediately visible in HN top-level comment sections. While this is true, there is a major flaw in the HN moderation mechanism that enables abuse to continue unabated. This is the fact that, when a comment is flagged and killed, its child subthread is not. Once the high-level comment is no longer visible in the top-level comment section by default, this significantly reduces moderation activity in the subthread, as users are less likely to click to expand it. The deeper you go, the less likely it is for content to be moderated.

Seems like a reasonable explanation why you might feel that way. I similarly haven't noticed that kind of rhetoric but I also haven't delved down into subthreads much

Something cool that I can't remember if it was posted on HN at one point or I stumbled across when looking for alternatives to yup but this repo has been compiling a bunch of different benchmarks for runtime validation of ts validation libraries. Obviously to some degree the performance is arbitrary when you're reaching millions of operations per second but on the flipside their benchmarks are against rather data. Would be interested to see comparison of either more nested data or otherwise complex. Maybe something to look at in my spare time.

n00bskoolbus — Wed, 04 Sep 2024 23:59:31 +0000

Pretty much symbolic at this point. Doesn't mean NDP will vote against Liberals in a confidence vote in the future. Feels like it would even be self sabotaging to do it now since some of the legislation around dental, pharma and others that they pushed for are still being rolled out. Plus with the way polls are looking I doubt they would force an election to likely bring in a more conservative government.

Not sure that multiple repos is a good comparison for local development at least. If you go the polyrepo route with NPM/Yarn (for example) you'll probably still be using linking or a filepath in the package.json dependencies. I don't think monorepo vs polyrepo eliminates the problems that come with this like making sure changes from a library are hot reloaded into another which is something that still seems to require lots of configuration.

This looks really awesome! We were just discussing at work how we're having a hard time finding a framework for a task queue that supports dependant tasks and has support for Python & TS. I suppose writing that out it does feel like a pretty specific requirement. I'm glad to see this pop up though, feels very relevant to me right now.

A question around workflows having just skimmed your docs. Is it possible to define a workflow that has steps in Python and a TS app?

Nice! I remember when this tool launched and I checked it out. It's really nice to use with easy to setup integrations. The instant replay feature especially is super cool! My biggest request would be to please add a Firefox extension!

The Jam team seems like a talented and good group of people. I applied a while back and while I was turned down I got an actual human response from the team. They also did a push to ask for input on improvements for Jam maybe a year ago and offered to donate $25 (iirc) to St Judes for every person who responded.

If this is happening I hope it's actually legitimate and not the big corp throwing its weight around. Certainly feels like money matters more than being right in cases like that.
