I agree, the rhythm of the rhyming feels great - tight and (dare I say it) artistic. @franze is that something you have control over - is the prompting so detailed / accurate that …

This sibling comment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38439016 ) and google searches do not support your numbers - the CO2 impact of producing a car is roughly equivalent to …

I expect they would just show a message "to view our content, download our app - Safari is not supported"

My assumption is that the distorted image ( https://cms-cdn.lux.camera/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/261601... ) is actually a corner-crop of a 120 degree wide-angle photo. For exampl…

I have a M1 Mini with 16GB memory. The machine's SSD is incredibly fast, so it swaps very well. Whereas my 2019 MBP will suffer incredibly when I start running out of memory (it li…

My M1 Mac Mini is also at 3% after 2 months, 1 TB disk: Percentage Used: 3% Data Units Read: 168,154,606 [86.0 TB] Data Units Written: 169,999,872 [87.0 TB] Host Read Commands: 1,0…

I've worked for my company for 7 years now, and I "get paid well for it". The actual $ figure isn't important, other than "it's enough for me". I'm sure it's less than the average …

Thanks for sharing this, I've not been (and never will be) a SV employee, so it's interesting to see such a different perspective. The big question that I didn't quite get from the…

The only successful SQL injection attack I've encountered in the wild was interesting, because the injection point had no visible output. But by injecting timing calls (eg "SLEEP()…

@davycro just said "it’s a tough skill to learn without a solid background in anatomy". If you have your home ultrasound and cannot accurately locate / track your baby, you may ide…

Every one of those icons is a human life lost to a terrorist attack . This is both a tragedy without compare to family and neighbourhood, and one of the most appalling events in ou…

I've recently started using Windows again on a gaming computer. Here are the problems I found, that felt "ugh, Windows": - I'm now used to the "inverse mouse scrolling". To enable …

This was very helpful for me, thank you. I couldn't get Karabiner to work - it seemed to install correctly, but none of the "prepared settings" did anything. No matter what options…

If one bidder spent more than $3500 in bids for that tablet, it's either a shill account or a credit card scammer. Neither one is particularly surprising with sites like this.

Phnom Penh, Cambodia. My wife's work requires her to work abroad, and this is the post that made sense for our family and her career. It's a nice enough place to live and work, ver…

I find irrelevant gifs embedded in a blog post like this make the entire article unreadable. It's distracting and annoying.

"Mental illness" and "psychological problems" both have such unfair negative connotations. But yes, if someone is finding the pressure of an activity graph and "breaking a streak" …

I agree that it's a largely irrelevant / frivolous feature, and if someone cares deeply about it, it's likely a sign of some deeper psychological issue. But deeper psychological is…

The early announcement allows our sysadmins to plan to work during those hours, and for the rest of our org to know that we'll have rolling infrastructure downtime, and that isn't …

You may need to externalize the responsibility, to have someone else "make" the decision. For myself I've found someone who is above me in our org, even though they aren't particul…

In the US a significant proportion of every undergraduate degree is "general education", ie what in Australia would be an Arts degree. AFAIK, specialized degrees like law and medic…

I recommend learning how to meditate before you go. I attempted a 10 day vipasana as a complete beginner and with insufficient research, and assumed it would be some kind of "cours…

I guess I just don't see why Newbee is so much better than existing baby trackers, that I want to invest in seeing it made. Yes the UI looks nice, but the actual features don't see…

I assume you mean the example towards the bottom of http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_9/orm/session.html#when-... So where do you use this "with session_scope() as session:" cont…
