Danya was such an incredibly positive influence on the chess community, a tremendous teacher whose YouTube content I’m sure will remain popular for years to come, and my personal f…

If you're using this on an iPhone, the failure is quite non-informative. Trying to browse to a URL looks like you failed to input anything and it just falls to a blank screen. On t…

I think I have on 3-4 occasions played a game where, after evaluating on chess.com, got a 100% accuracy (which is engine correlation). A couple times were all theory and then blund…

But how can you justify removing the ability to have a local vault? Why would anyone think for a second that it would be a good idea to force people to store every password for eve…

That looks a bit like NDJSON, assuming that the space between the objects is actually a newline. There are libraries[1] that support parsing it and it's not too hard to do yourself…

We recently spent a couple weeks going over pricing with a GitLab regional Account Leader. We already use GitLab for all our source repos, CI/CD pipelines, and had been using it fo…

What right do you have to determine who is allowed to have an opinion, and why is serving a precondition? I did serve, I've done time overseas including in Iraq, but I did not do s…

Is there a clear bright-line between a cartoon or South Park-style animation, a hand-drawn photorealistic graphic, and a ML-generated one that should be legislated differently than…

People are going to be dreaming of flying cars until some other technology comes along that completely obsoletes them.

Note that there's a large difference between learning characters and learning to read. Simple examples: 可口可樂, 手機, 大哥大 If you just knew the characters, you would understand those as…

It's usually more effective to have specialized interests, since it's very rare to have agreement on multiple issues across a large population (this should be intuitive to the HN c…
