I have it on my website ( https://packagepicker.co ) in only CSS by using `flex-direction: column` and setting a best-guess max height with several breakpoints. Unfortunately it do…

They would think they are the original you, but I think the GP was saying that the original perspective would continue on the original consciousness-continuity/body/hardware. Cloni…

Hello HN! I created https://packagepicker.co , a website that gives you a big checklist of software and spits out a command to install it using your preferred package manager. I wa…

I've done something like this and it's not too bad with the Poisson distribution. You can pick a time interval and the average amount of times an event (scoring a point, for exampl…

A few things that are well-covered in this thread, but my personal favorite is PicoShare. It is a nice, simple self-hosted file sharing app that fixes a lot of issues with other so…

If you read the article, it is very clear and direct about being a commentary on Low Tech Magazine

Hey I made that comment! I assume Waymo has thought about it. I assume lots of people at Waymo have spent plenty of time in NYC. I also don't say that this was impossible or I thin…

I was curious! But not too curious, since this maybe describes most of the on-ramps to the BQE

I agree with you in principle about not blocking the box. But in practice it's not always like that. Sometimes the actual light timing needs to change. Sometimes the roads need to …

Sort of. The issue is that it's not just "waiting for a turn", it's often "start changing lanes into a small gap because you know the human drivers will make space and let you in".…

As someone who both bikes and drives around Brooklyn, I would bet this is going to be nearly a decade of testing. There are so many edge cases that I encounter on almost every sing…

Your algorithm does appear in Section 3.1 of the linked paper by the name "Exchange Sort"

Your quote is a wild guess by them. The malware explanation after that sounds much more likely

I don't have any numbers or sources, but I'll chime in as someone who limits beef intake solely because of environmental reasons. I don't cut it out completely, I just stay mindful…

There were only ever 8000 confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-1. It was able to be contained. Wikipedia mentions that quarantines were very effective because it wasn't often asymptomatical…

Do you think they actually physically piled up corpses in nursing homes? Do you think a nursing home would allow a photographer inside to take pictures of random individual dead bo…

I generally agree and don't know how well this holds up, but reading this article when I was around 20 really broke me out of some entitlement and helped me start working on myself…

Yes, my first instinct from this title was "oh no, is my gas bill going up by 10x?" It is not, at all

Yes, FaceID uses actual depth/distance data by projecting IR dots during scanning. So you would either need to very precisely mock these somehow, or create an actual 3D surface. ht…

I have used this system in certain areas before. It's decent. But it's interesting to read about if you're in the mood! https://johnnydecimal.com/

At least in the part I'm looking at, this was still true at the end of May but is not even close now.

I don't think you're wrong, but consider that posting "I heard" with no source is pretty close to just posting misinformation

I think there is value to reading 20 10-minute articles on the internet. I think there is a different kind of value to reading 1 200-minute book. I like the knowledge I've gained f…

Silence? Or just force him to use the means of communication used by every other president in history? Obviously there is some interesting power here that I'm not sure if I feel co…

Not all sets of numbers follow Benford's law. https://youtu.be/etx0k1nLn78?t=442
