ScreenStudio and Arcade are great. If you're looking for an in-product demo/tour, there's driver.js

"Most of the kids I played with, are probably dead. They almost certainly died horribly. Maybe some of them became child soldiers, and killed and raped. I could have gone on about …

Well said. In general there's no winning on boards like this. Most people here are ignorant of most of Africa and Africans in general, but that doesn't stop them from pontificating…

As an African, born and bred who "looks like I came from Africa", I really really hate it when a European person writes about Africa. They tend to end up writing things like the en…

Do you live in one of these areas?

Hooligan grannies lol, that's a new one. On another note where can I get this magical gun that silences loudspeakers from a distance?

I was with you up until you mentioned Christoper Hogwood. Not that there's anything wrong with him just that that wouldn't be the first name to pop up in my head when I think music…

Whatsapp all over again (sigh). Thank you Signal. Now would you consider making a VR headset?

If you've dealt with VC's or lawyers before you'll understand this example. Of course many probably worse examples from Academia or restaurants or military or whatever but if you'r…

I'm a huge proponent of crypto and the many things it's going to make possible that were not previously possible. But the developing country angle is oversold usually by people jus…

Wow. Reading the top comments. If you have a great idea, just tune out the HN comments

I didn't see that post, but I'm sure the poster meant they had huge expectations based on it's reputation as 'the book' or it's place in popular culture and it lived up to that hyp…

>>Interesting that people are substituting the hard question (what has been hyped and has lived up to it) I think it's the way you're reading the answers (and the question). If you…

This

I think that's separate from whether it has lived up to the hype or not. It's pretty much changed everything, whether you think that's good or bad or imperfect.

I love this answer. You could say the same about Cloud computing. So much early hype and outlandish claims but it's kinda snuck into being a ubiquitous everyday thing we take for g…

I’m one of the few people who actually watched the remake before the original. It was a great movie and blew my mind. But it can’t compare to the original. There’s something operat…

I don't know why they're down-voting you. I'm at least concerned that someone with that kind of past has anything to do with building such sensitive and influential law enforcement…

Reminds me of this: https://www.amazon.com/End-History-Last-Man/dp/0743284550

Or maybe there's just not a lot of AI in their main search product (for whatever reason). They seem to be pretty good in other areas (Translate, Cloud speech-to-text, Alexa etc.)

Huh? It's supposed to be the opposite, hence the "I"

Did I read that wrong? It didn't sound like a 'switch'. It sounded more like someone quitting out of frustration and docs now ad-hoc with no clearly organized responsibility

Writing Python in Rust unlike say writing C++ in Rust, might actually be a desirable thing. Put it this way, It will be a while before you are writing Rust like Python.

+1. Add: - Use long expressive variable/function/class names that tell me exactly what this variable/function/class does I have to constantly fight the urge to have code fit in the…

Hence why we should always all be using CamelCase
