Years ago I went to a BBQ cooking class run by the owner of a small, one-location restaurant in Chicago. He said that Sysco and US Foods reps called him every single day to talk ab…

I hate the weather where I live (Chicagoland), so I spent a week a couple years ago downloading weather data from WUnderground and geo data from a bunch of places and turning it in…

At desktop resolution, the floating table of contents menu blocks out two of the (excellent) illustrations (second and second-last). Deleting aside.toc was very helpful.

The idea described here is implemented in e.g. TikTok's API, and as a consumer of that API (in Java at least), it has been awful to code against. Because most people abuse status c…

> (if the covid effect is persistent for a year) I think that's the important bit. The article (at least) didn't indicate that the same standard applies at the 180, 270, or 360 day…

This helps a lot, thank you!

Yeah, agree, but how do we compare time slices over probability?

I'm a bit confused about how this compares to non-COVID-19 patients. The Mayo clinic [1] shows the same number, one in five, for the general population in a given year. https://www…

If people were willing and able to fly, the free market would close this arbitrage by ... driving up the cost of flying to Dubai. The other prices are controlled.

I remember when this was a Show HN, it was my first comment to say that the homepage didn't work for me in an old version of Firefox (and the developers reached out, thanked me for…

It was no such thing. A Cloudflare router advertised some bad routes.

The Red Apple, quoted in the story, closed their original location (that had been open for 30 years) last summer to make way for condos. At 5% margins it's pretty easy to see how a…

I had that experience (while hunting for the old default) as well - really nothing looked "good" or at least like it used to.

Yeah, that's the rub it seems - if you picked a default, you kept your default. If you had the old JetBrains default, you now got the new JetBrains default.

Thank you for this! Could not find it in a search anywhere.

I picked "Monospaced" - I couldn't find any clear documentation of what it was, and that looked OK.

Easy to believe this is true - I hadn't set a preference before, the old default was fine.

Thanks, I hate it. My most recent update of IntelliJ turned this font on by default and I had to spend an hour trying to figure out what the font used to be. Mono looked squished t…

That it is very important to communicate the strength of an opinion, and moreso the higher up in an organization you go. If you say everything like a Gospel truth, even when you're…
