I tried solving this with a search engine that accounted for reviews with some manual curation, but I realized there's actually an extremely limited set of 'good' recipe sites and …

Also check out https://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php which is a treasure trove of pizza experiments. Varasano himself was active on the forum back in the day (~2005) and a fe…

To be fair this is a very very old list dating back to 2006/2008 and these were the pizza names that came up constantly at that time - it's also only rating the shops that he perso…

You can use it standalone and manage the state yourself. Looks like they actually might have added locking recently with https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/pull/2697 but I haven't lo…

I agree with you but nothing about the comment was discussing whether or not people will pay for repl.it The context of this HN post is about originality itself.

Hm any competent ops team would have backups if they really cared to find your original data

IMO before react native came on the scene there were no well performing hybrid app frameworks except possibly xamarin. So it likely wasn't your fault

I highly recommend reading Vincent Woo's piece about Lambda to understand the criticism better with actual evidence. https://vincentwoo.com/2020/05/19/on-lambda-school/ It's also a…

I haven't reviewed their numbers recently but the historical criticism is that you end up paying more money for Lambda yet their placement rate was lower compared to similar bootca…

I'm building a search engine for this exact issue - there's 10000 recipes for every dish but they have to be contextualized: Do I want mac and cheese in the next 30 minutes or am I…

So I have the same issue. On Slack, I can't tell if someone is busy - almost no one sets their status as away unless they're actually offline. Whereas in the office it was easier t…

How dare you question the snark

I don't disagree with you, but graphql just lends itself well to bad decisions and many times when I've poked at graphql endpoints they share these issues (missing auth after first…

If you're in a major metro local meetup/slacks are a great tool. They'll provide the intro without you needing to 'know' the person. I've done that successfully with engineering po…

It costs a lot. Especially any add-ons they upsell you on

Wish he didn't make fun of bad English from non-native speaking posts - of course they'll seem cringey to us. There's plenty of legitimate examples he could have used instead.

I didn't find it obvious that Fastmail allows multiple wildcard domains but it is a supported feature and extremely useful for throwaways and custom projects.

I find it funny that software with relatively no r+d or initial costs have become burdened with VC.

This sounds super cool, is there a public link to your work? I'd love to check it out

If anyone needs a download, you can easily install/sideload via f-droid or the app can be trivially built with './gradlew assembleDebug' (provide your own keys to build a release v…

Ah yeah I saw this initially but haven't given CRFs a try yet. I was hoping ml had advanced enough that I could throw newer solutions at the problem. Thanks for linking this though…

There's a more practical but relevant cooking problem that I haven't seen discussed - when extracting recipes from websites it's tricky to parse the actual ingredients and quantiti…

I wrote an Android app for managing recipes with bakers percents so I definitely agree - being able to scan over the ratios of water, salt, and sugar tells you a lot about the reci…
