Hey HN folks, Check this out: I've tweaked the classic 2048 game we all know – now, it's got a fresh twist with some handy power-ups. I’m impressed by how much GPT-4 and DALL-E 3 c…

I have been feeling disappointed that I haven't been able to use my computer science degree to it's full potential. Most of my work seems to be boring CRUD work where the challenge…

Now that we are on the topic of prepared statements, does anyone know how to do "SELECT * FROM WHERE x IN (list of values...)" properly? As far as I know, you cannot do it with pre…

Does anyone know a way to contact BlackBerry World? Somebody copied my html5 game and is making money from it. It's been two years and my DMCA requests have been ignored. I have bo…

What do need my full name for?
