I have added two deeper "Behind the Scenes" pages for those interested in the linguistic philosophy or the specific agentic workflow: WHY SWALPA? ( https://swalpa.org/behind_swalpa…

Hi HN, I built SWALPA ( https://swalpa.org ) because learning spoken Kannada is a New Year's resolution for me and I realized most language apps teach you formal grammar, but not h…

I've always wondered about this. I'd expect this to catch up with Amazon and not work out in the long term. But their stock price keeps going up and they keep eating up new markets…

Yeah, as a neutral observer, I feel conflicted. What the CCP is doing feels wrong. But on the other hand, China was forced to agree to the HK situation particularly since they were…

I'm hoping this is just a stale mail? It'd be weird to have the same discussion here all over again. Everything the CEO mentioned last time is still applicable. What's worse is I'm…

I don't know what it is about most of these pages, but their design feels very old school (in a good way)! Got me a little nostalgic, and it's such a joy to read pages just focusse…

Is there a reason the HN title is so flagrantly different from the title if you jump to the link? "Huawei was able to eavesdrop on Dutch mobile network" in the original sounds a lo…

Goldman Sachs is 150 years old and still kicking. I wonder if a part of that longevity is the org/incentives structure. And (cynically) maybe just that regulation entrenches existi…

I have a Kinesis Freestyle 2. And it does tent. With the optional VIP kit that is, but most everyone recommends you buy the two together. FWIW, I absolutely love the kinesis. I hav…

I wonder if over time, Golang will pick up more type features like Java and other languages have. The general consensus seems to be that powerful type systems are very effective. P…

I was wondering (and hoping), it's just a case of the title changing on the media site. The original title definitely sounds more inflammatory than the one they changed it to later…

My personal opinions on the protests aside, this is clearly a different title from the original article. And it's deliberately titled to make it sound worse than it is (at the mome…

I've heard of in-toto at work and it's still very new and shiny. Even the article mentions early adopters adopting it in 2018. I'm not surprised multiple vendors haven't adopted th…

I've had weeks and months like this. The general healthy advice all worked for me to different degrees. Exercise, meeting friends and having non-desk/screentime intensive hobbies. …

This course (at least the videos) are on YouTube for the latest iteration. I found the YouTube interface a bit more familiar for sampling the course. https://youtube.com/playlist?l…

He mentions Reddit at the end of the article, which is close enough in mechanism to Hackernews.

While I understand that Twilio is probably not at fault for the actual leak, I'm curious if they gave Parler some time to migrate/shift before cutting them off from their services.…

I've enjoyed listening to the MIT Distributed Systems lectures too. They do paper reviews and I pick the papers/topics which seem the most interesting (rather than doing them in or…

You aren't. Especially with remote work on the rise. This is one thing I hope all of us continue opposing vehemently. It's a huge privacy concern and companies have too much incent…

It's more nuanced than that. Speaking as someone who has done the diet and had multiple people around me also have results with it when other diets haven't worked (as well). The ho…

The first half seems like simple bandwidth sharing, like mobile hotspots. But everything after "In the future", is super vague. Help find pets etc, looks like it'll try to make a p…

From what I understand, each of your devices can act as a mini-wifi extender. And that extended WiFi is public (to other Amazon sidewalk devices). And that's useful if you have say…

I switched off Chrome's recommended article feed after reading this. Are there any tools that help limit bumping into news? I've also been trying to reduce casual news consumption.…

I've used Podman, SystemD and Buildah. It's great to hack around with. SystemD is particular is very polarizing and I don't want to start a flamewar, but it helped me "get" init sy…
