I've never heard of meat substitutes being "marketed ideologically as something that will help reduce economic inequality"—that's such an odd argument to make. What I have heard before is: - more resource-efficient and

That’s weird: what disincentives offset the cheaper cost of commercial space?

The fastest way to compute a Fibonacci number is to simply look in up on the Internet -- not kidding. There was a coding challenge that I did a couple months back which required the cumulative sum of powers of two and the fibonacci sequence

I'm a bit late to the thread, but what happened to Cerebro and the concept of a Knowledge Engine? You wrote that it was launched as "Knowledge Strip" but wasn't as impactful as you had intended Cerebro to be.

When I was referring to CommonApp, I didn’t mean to also include along it’s heavy fee per application. Beyond the medical field and lawyers, what other fields do you believe that qualifications is a solved problem? Mind that a certification

There should honestly be a Common App for internships: one application, a standardized coding challenge, and then interviews. TripleByte seems to be trying to do something similar for full-time, but they don't cover internships.

Can we just push deadlines back to December? That's around the same time as most college apps are due, and they're basically the same process.

Shannon may be well known in the HN community, but definitely not outside of here.

Like it or not, the main cost of university is not from education or from helping graduates find jobs. It's true that anyone with an internet connection can access course material from top universities and from top professors. But only

Yeah, Typora is still in beta last time I checked so minor issues like that are expected. Just open up an issue on their Github issue page. Hm, for me Pandoc has worked pretty well for converting .md to .html. Is it the specific flavor of M

Anyone know if it's possible to give Markdown and LaTeX first-class support in ProseMirror? Having only regex-based shortcuts does not achieve that. What I mean is if you typed bold , let it turn into a bolded word, and then decide

Firefox just doesn’t have enough advantages yet that would convince someone comfortable with Chrome to switch over. While privacy is an ever growing concern, it isn’t a strong enough feature for most people.

Someone correct me, but can’t ad blockers just be installed through the OS and not be dependent on the browser? I recall this is what I had to do for Safari since there wasn’t a supported extension for the new browser yet. This would lessen

Is moderation on Facebook that large of a problem? I wonder if it’s possible to use the walled garden approach that Apple News does and apply that to Facebook: only distribute globally posts which have been moderated with a person. Moderati

I don’t think Apple will ever release a 2-in-1. Why? It’ll cannibalize their own product lines, the MacBook Pro and iPad Pro. Microsoft doesn’t really have that issue, and hence can make that product. Honestly, there’s an opportunity here f

There’s more usage to the touchbar than replicating the media controls of the fn keys. For example if you wanted to smoothly scrub through a video, a continuous Touch Bar would make more sense than two discrete keys.

Does anyone know where Binder gets its funding from? Or how much it costs to run an operation like this? I’m wondering if it’s economically feasible to make online textbooks and references interact-able through a Jupyter backend. I know it’

This. It’s conflicting to see that people who use water for basic needs have a higher water bill than farmers who use it for commercial purposes, and due to the lack of market pricing for bulk water are not incentivized to conserve water ev

There was a recent If Then episode that commented on how China’s declining demand of iPhones may be in part to how people there are agnostic to the hardware and more dependent on the software apps ran on the device (WeChat, Alipay, etc.).

Is this still dependent on browser adoption? I recently had to transpile a Typescript library via Babel to JavaScript since Chrome didn’t like the original import statements.

No offense, but that’s because you lack perspective — and maybe that’s because of the bubble that entrapped HN and SV alike. There are tons of people who would take a six-figure job at FB, people who make less and people who others wouldn’t

Sadly that’s the trade off when you want a common benchmark to measure students, but then students optimize for that benchmark instead of something else — basically Goodhart’s law. As a current student studying CS, I find all of this “leetc

As someone who is interviewing for internships, I view all of these algorithms interviews as a necessary evil. While they may not reflect the day to day job demands of programming, they are certainly easier to measure and serve as a benchma

Does this method still bypass the algorithms interview? It seems like it only gets your foot in the door, which is probably the harder part for most.
