I learned about this tonight when Claude Code picked up your library for my application that uses logical replication. Looking forward to putting it through its paces.

With Diesel async integrating everything with the pooling is a bit hairy. With sqlx everything just works.

Powers of 10 is the classic presentation: https://youtu.be/0fKBhvDjuy0

Much good there but l and 1 are identical.

This desperately needs a date `[1999]`

Physics answers what and how. Why is for philosophers and theologians.

What features or benefits would a small fraction of people love in an alt browser? What would HN folk love in a browser?

I’m a big fan of base58 + almost as efficient as base64 + no special characters + no padding characters

Svn externals provide similar capabilities, though I don’t remember if an external can be an individual file. TortoiseSvn on windows made it not to painful to use. https://svnbook.…

This sounds like the deal I have had with my (young-adult) kids (who live at home).

I created a "NoDict" class that does this awhile back: https://github.com/BlackEarth/bl/blob/main/bl/no.py

I love the way the new logo shows the envelope as a speech / chat bubble (notice the tail formed by the wing). Subtle touches like these make a logo a lot more interesting for me.

I was about to say the same thing. Multiprocessing on Python works great and isn’t even very hard if you use say async_apply with a Pool. Comparing single-threaded Python with mult…

Maybe such a saying is needed in Korean more than in other languages?

The some reason is the (GNU) readline library that powers most command line editing.

It seems to me that a text editor is the same sort of dependency as a static site generator. Especially if you store the resulting site as rendered.

I don’t understand how survivorship bias is being used here. I thought it was a wholly backward-looking error of not taking into account failures along with the successes, not some…

Nope as a verb is new to me - just heard it for the second time this week. First time was from my child.

Because everyone on HN was totally sucked in? I sure was.

Really appreciate this thoughtful take. Thank you.

I have worked in ink-on-dead-trees book publishing for over 20 years. The vast majority of print-interior typesetting is being done with Adobe InDesign. Some publishers (still) hav…
