I went through the same path as you - I think I even landed up with 14 takeout files as well! Its a bit of a trial, but quite doable. Its likely that things have improved since I d…

Ha! So basically to get in to a site protected by it, you need to _fail_ the HATCHA.

I thought the HN crowd would get kick out of this rather unique aussie web design and hosting company. Honestly, it seems like a really good business - It looks like they have a st…

I think for me it's about the ongoing nature of the subscription. Everything is a subscription model these days, and I'm quite wary of "zombie" subscriptions that take money every …

Yeah, I feel the same way about the $14 a month. Perhaps a "one shot access pass" or something that lets you in for a few months while you do financial planning may be useful. It m…

I've mentored many developers at this stage in their career - it's a challenging leap to make, because your moving from a world where improving your technical skills moves you forw…

Their docs suggest you could allow the model to extract structured data by giving it the ability to call a function like `sql_query(query: string)`, which is presumably connected t…

On of my favorite stories of Brian Shul is “What was the slowest you ever flew the Blackbird?” If you have 5 min, it's well worth reading https://www.thesr71blackbird.com/Aircraft/…

I tried with some facebook comments and articles posted to facebook in chinese and the results were pretty much incomprehensible as well. It was so bad, it makes me wonder - has go…

Actually, I'm not so sure its a acquihire. Google has very recently announced a bunch of cloud machine learning products: https://cloud.google.com/products/machine-learning/ * Clou…

Well, I was going to downvote, but figured it's better to comment. > Ugh. This reeks of "safe space" nonsense. What? I have very little idea what you are talking about, so I looked…

Actually, check out this long exposure: http://i.imgur.com/sy6cSDV.jpg It shows all 5 burns, in one shot. From a /r/spacex comment [1], we have: 1 - The ascent burn of the 9 Merlin…

10 I am to tired 20 Just read one more story 30 Goto 10

Sadly not - I've got eye problems from staring at a screen 8 hours a day. Now I have to use an app which forces me to look out the window every 10 minutes and focus on something at…

If you are looking for a job, I cannot recommend giving technical presentations at user groups highly enough... As you have pointed out the dynamic of interviews sucks. A potential…

While it's undoubtedly very cool to build something very, very ... very, very tall, what would such a tower be used for?

Probably your web browser and notepad for doing simple html and javascript files.

Ah - I think perhaps what I meant wasn't clear. Its not against design - its against Apple. The medium the attack is conducted in is design. Also, because this is the internet and …
