The posts are [Dead], which means they're only available for the submitter or individuals with "Show Dead" available on their account. My guess: The domain is too similar to HN its…

It's just a "jobs" advertisement for a YC company, which has been a perk of YC for 15-ish years. All such YC company job advertisement posts also show up if you click the jobs sect…

I do find it a little odd all the comments in this thread are focusing on it as though it was a straight telemetry/metric decision. From the update, this feels more like it was pro…

Yeah, my example was bad. I was more trying to point out that determinism of the intrinsic action is a pre-condition to the idempotency, in order to make and verify the assurance r…

It's not really uncomfortably close to determinism, it is baseline deterministic which is necessary for the verification. The powerful part of idempotence is that it's deterministi…

It was mentioned in the third paragraph, just not expounded upon further. "Patryn, who changed his legal name twice, was the co-founder of QuadrigaCX, a Canadian exchange that shut…

Pop Netflix back in there from the FAANG, and you have MAMANA

These days I look up individual features, and use the date-relative view, to assess how long it's been available. Normally I'll start porting features once they're solid across the…

As someone who started doing web development in 2003-2004, I've always aimed for a 5 year support window. This is largely because of how long IE6-IE8 upgrades took for many SMB's a…

It seems like an unusual rephrasing of the saying "reasonable on the face", which means "reasonable upon first appearance, without considering deeper aspects." It's judging a book …

This already kind of existed prior to the pandemic'. If you bought premium tickets to a show, often you would get placed into VIP list with the venue and/or artist. Venue perks inc…

Yeah, I think the author focused a bit too much on structural pattern matching being a replacement/alternative for if...elif blocks. It will be much more useful as an alternative t…

This is the correct answer and is actually somewhat visible if you also look at the DJIA and NASDAQ figures. The S&P 500 and DJIA are limited to a fixed number of corporations. The…

The speed of computing a path from vertex to vertex is faster than trying to generate a point at X distance for the pathing object. So you give the NPC a speed, and it moves as far…

I explained it pretty clearly what you get when you add a month on January 31st. You get February 31st. A month is a discrete unit of measure. It is not decomposable into any numbe…

I agree those are the technically correct way to do it. But if the reason people are wanting to use the library, is they want something to handle the complexity for them, coercing …

Plus/Increment/Add 1 month, does have one single meaning, it's that the outcome may be invalid that is the issue. "2021-01-31".plus(unit="Month", size=1) => "2021-02-31" But nobody…

If you're adding 1 month, you're working on the month's location, e.g. 2021 - (02) - 28. When you increment the month, the result would be 2021-03-28. The only time you'd modify th…

The article is a guest post from individuals that work at Pusher[1], about architectural decisions they made for their products and services. I also thought it would be about Stack…

This has been a thing since Google did their RankBrain update 5 years ago. They essentially released a system that used ML to negotiate unknown "long-tail" queries into more common…

> “The bottom line is that clients are still able to trade in GME, but we’ve put some restrictions on certain types of transactions in the interest of helping mitigate risk for our…

It's a fair question. A bunch of the larger guys like Charles Schwab and TD did implement restrictions as well. In their case, it may not have been a necessity to maintain liquidit…

> Only buying was prevented, and only for some brokerages? The first part of that has been a common bit of misinformation. Opening new positions (either by attempting to buy shares…

Tox is designed for environment isolation, and primarily for testing against multiple release targets. It's not an awful choice, when it's exactly what you want to do. The dependen…
