   I'm curious, what is the stylistic difference between Unix and Windows c++? I don't know it.

   I presume you won't say, but now I'm wondering about who has similar intelligence capabilities to governments...

   Unfortunately I can't access descriptions without another API call. Thanks for pointing out the floats issue. It'll probably be OK because I round to the nearest integer when displaying and only use the extra precision for sorting

   Thank you! I appreciate it. I submitted it a few hours ago to two upvotes - I think it might be because I didn't include the link directly, and apparently that downranks it in the algorithm. I've emailed dang to see if it's O

   I wish I could say it's some lovely architecture, but it's just some glued together python scripts that get the data from the ebay API, categorise the GPUs (I initially tried local LLMs, but hard coded rules work far better), then

   Mine does that - https://gpu-prices.com . I managed to get beaten to the Show HN by a few hours :)

    Thank you. Beyond the brilliant photos, the archive itself is fascinating.

    Thank you! There are some really excellent images there.

    If you think that's bad, try being 18 :) this field may not exist (at least in its present form) by the time I'm out of uni (I'm planning to hedge my bets by studying physics), and it seems the world is getting less stable by

    It's infuriating finding an excellent wallpaper, only to find that it's 900 pixels wide or "4k" with so much compression it looks worse than uncompressed 720p. That and the grotesque photoshops that fill the results when

    I'm disappointed that nobody had made a mosquito CIWS yet. Has anyone tried making something based on a grid of speakers and constructive interference?

    Would that be the original British Imperial SOP or the closely-related but not-quite-the-same American SOP?

    I suppose you would also have to worry about surviving the trip - every atom in the interstellar medium would damage your ship, likely penetrating the entire way through, and electromagnetic repulsion would only work with charged particles.

    I had no idea you could achieve relevant amounts of time dilation so "easily" with relatively small (1m/s) of constant thrust - such that interstellar travel becomes somewhat viable provided you can continuously accelerate fo

    Remove any grandeur? On the contrary, it would be the beginning of a new era of appreciating its grandeur.

    Thanks for elaborating, that sounds pretty fun.

    Haha :) I was referring to Starliner's window falling off during transport. I misremembered it as a door falling off. And yeah my name is pretty terrible, I've always been bad at picking pseudonyms.

    They also build a lot of fossil fuel plants. They just have immense and growing energy needs.

    npm is easy to use? In my experience npm and the ecosystem that surrounds it are the only package managers I have ever used that consistently don't work, and in terms of design/ease of use in the theoretical scenario of it worki

    I've never really pair programmed - I've worked on joint projects, of course, but collaboration occurs over discord/github. I'm intrigued - what does this actually consist of? Does one person write one function and anoth

    That is pretty cool, I didn't know about that. I could see it being useful in some niche circumstances.
