Andrew Huang does a good job of explaining harmonics and overtones[0]. You only need to watch until about the 4 minute mark (from the timestamp) to get an explanation of harmonics …

10k out of 2M isn't a good metric, because there will be a long tail of niche, unpopular clone (AKA a student's first to do list app), shovelware or spyware apps that most people w…

Late reply, but I was speaking in generalities. HN doesn't quite fit the bill for a general forum that would improve from those tactics. There is a somewhat focused expectation of …

Sites like HN tend to plateau unless there are added features to get new sign ups. Full-length profiles, social features like chat, reply notifications and following/subscribing to…

For the record, there is a way to highlight changes. An ellipses denotes that material was left out. Brackets denote that something was changed. In either case, the intent should n…

Downvoting can also have a snowball effect. If someone disagrees with you, especially in a contested topic where it's opinion or unclear who is correct, downvotes signal other peop…

What people don't realize is that the USDA and FDA operate on guidelines such that the most basic cook can follow them. J Kenji Lopez-Alt points this out in his book Food Lab. Ther…

I hate that this dominates the conversation. I tried some stuff with a pi once. It was a nightmare. I fidgeted around with the installation, and after some slight hiccups, I finall…

I think it's less apathy and more that they don't understand the stakes. It's a lot like how laws in the US were written when data collection and processing was a manual task. Sure…

This will remain opinion until we can get longitudinal studies that account for this. Current pediatric recommendations are basically no screen time for small children even though …

Sometimes people just want to vent. There was a host on a podcast who admitted to venting to a company. He bought an item. It arrived and worked as advertised, but he was thoroughl…

I assume it's because people are awaiting their return to physical work environments. If your employer or team hasn't done anything to facilitate working remotely other than moving…

Another thing is product revisions. Version 1 might be an actual BIFL product. Version 2 might have a small yet significant revision impacting quality. Even process revisions like …

I ran out of dish soap a few weeks ago, and I came across this same recipe. I found that my dishes were clean, but glassware and ceramic had a film on it. It wiped off easily with …

A word's denotative meaning has little relevance if the connotative meaning is something else. "Literally" is probably the best example of this.

Have you manually reviewed some of these clusters? Automatic clustering for subjective topics tend get gamed by users (if they can be influenced by users) or labeled incorrectly.

Conversely in the US, you can grab an unlimited plan for something like $30. The first 2GB to 15GB (depending on carrier) will have full 4G-LTE speeds. After that, you're throttled…

> Why do software developers believe that if someone gets there first that's it it's done? It doesn't help that when you come to HN or Reddit releasing something, the comments are …

You can sent your Internet connection to "metered" to stop this. I hate that you can't just outright disable forced updates, but this is the working solution that MS offers.

I have a coworker who basically doesn't participate in meetings. Their connection is so bad that maybe 10% of their sentences are intelligible.

CI will always be product specific unless you're going to create your own scripts for your pipeline. Even then, your script for executing tests, deploying, etc. will still be depen…

There's another water park that does something similar in the pools. There are lifeguard chairs stationed around the pools as usual. There are guards in the pools as usual. There a…
