This looks neat. I'm interested in some of the more advanced exercises like the Rick Beato one here ( https://app.captrice.io/?eid=ph79of6zlotm8y24mc4 ) but a couple of things prev…

yes, the title of this post should be, "Zed, a collaborative Mac-only code editor....". I also find it kind of obnoxious that their front page says they are focused on making the w…

I'm a game developer but not specifically a graphics programmer. Although I work with modern graphics APIs and GLSL shaders in my day job, when my 13 year old recently graduated fr…

which is why the title should have been "discover volunteer opportunities around the US"

if you're targeting enterprise clients, they may insist that your course fit in to their existing LMS (learning management system). A bunch of large corporations use these old and …

Compilers have always been making guesses about what the most likely code path is behind the scenes, but it still needs to behave correctly in the case where it was wrong (that wil…

this resonates with me.. I fell in love with python because it made it really easy to write 100 to 1000 like I scripts that I could whip out in no time and make something happen. I…

hmmm.. they don't seem to really explain the rules of the game here. Doesn't the length of time it takes to crack a password depend on the rate at which you are allowed to try diff…

Very frustrating article to read. The article is setting up a straw man and attacking it. He is acting like everyone else thinks: 1) edges are the only important features in images…

I'm in the field but don't actually use USD so when I heard some colleagues talking about it I googled to try to figure out what they were talking about... but was unable to find a…

it seems to me, if there is one discussion forum where you should be able to point out that a website it broken for technical reasons and why, it is HN. I found this comment intere…

in my experience HDMI works better. I have had Dell 4K monitors both at my home and my work, on three different PCs all have the exact same issue: with DisplayPort I can't get more…

I was disappointed in that example for a different reason. it ran on my phone, but when I pinch -zoomed (which is what I assumed a zoom widget built for web was supposed to support…

I think you still need to explain further. it is not clear why you think the author is being annoying. it sounds like you are agreeing with the author in your last sentence. I'm co…

> in context learning using large language models In which context is it learning the language models of what? If it's learning the language models using a different context than t…

I'm confused about the premise here. The power of self-hosting such a thing is presumably that you would be able to train it on your own company's codebase as a corpus of examples …

I'm confused... you are right that it takes no additional torque to keep a frictionless rotor rotating at the same angular velocity, but in the real world there is friction and air…

regarding accessibility..from what I have heard, other cultures have much different styles of sarcasm which might impede their ability to understand that something you have said is…

I find if you avoid the use of any function that has the word use in it, react is a lot more useful and usable.

I live on the opposite planet. basically every bug that I have ever had in python over my 15 years of using it has had to do with a type issue. So the increased use of types and py…

the Abracadabra refactoring plugin helps and gives a few more options. But Jetbrains has always been strong in the refactoring department so it is probably going to always have a l…

There were some paragraphs of the history of luddites that I found fascinating, but when the article turned in to a book review of Frankenstein, he lost me unfortunately.

I'm skeptical about vi/vim but I like to watch videos like these occasionally to see what I'm missing out on. But I lost interest here as soon as he said he was going to avoid usin…

We only need to look at the tools department of our nearest box store to predict what will happen. They sell you the kit with two drills and two batteries nice and cheap, and then …

has the SAT gotten way easier on recent decades or have students just gotten that much smarter or better at taking it, and universities gotten a lot stricter about accepting studen…
