I assumed it was just being used as additional evidence that you shouldn't tie any frustration with this post/its format to original original author.

I just assume I'm overly familiar with it as someone who was a natural test-taker. (Early 30s)

Heck it might've been just a part of development and not a part of the production/user-facing features. I know my former employer lists everything that was ever in our process "just in case".

Folks expecting a simple lifestyle tweak be warned, the original training is by Wim Hof and in addition to the (fairly intense) breathing exercises involves lying in snow for 30min and hiking a snowy mountain, both partially naked. While pa

Yeah I try to avoid "midwest" at all, except when being vague is a goal. The distinction between "Great Lakes" & "Great Plains" seems quite useful both geographically and culturally and "midwest"

Samsung calls it "Magnetic Secure Transmission" as I recall. I wish they would advertise it more because it was honestly the greatest feature on that phone in my eyes, but everyone assumes it's exactly the same as Apple Pay.

I don't understand the hate for TikTok I frequently see on HN. Is it just ordinary ageism/curmudgeonliness? I'm not in its core audience myself, but it seems to me to be a very smartly put together app, both in its core featu

I think kingkawn is using a less technical meaning that I hear often... "having no self-awareness" ≅ not considering the effects of one's actions. Certainly I think that's what my parents were implying when they accused

Yeah and debugging it usually requires me to examine my least favorite and most fragile parts of my build tools. I think my employer's gulp config has had source maps broken for 2 years now, but I'm probably the only person who wo

This does suggest to me that browser websocket requests against localhost should at least: 1) return the same error message for all failures (unless some opt-in / launch flag is set) 2) fiddle with the timing slightly to make timing at

Not that I know of, but I've always thought there was a cool project opportunity for a Mario Party-esque platform of minigames with room-code join-by-phone controllers. Sony has the "PlayLink" platform on PS4 but it didn&#x27

Nice demo. I was curious how you were going to avoid collision -- my assumption was since the pattern wasn't a "single cycle" loop (whose total length presumably depends on the LCM of the width and height) that the animation

Or alternatively, write it as a CSS animation and modify it on collision.

Does this mean I'll soon be setting up an dummy "cookie maker" endpoint on my server that turns XHR body data into HTTPS cookie data as a workaround? :/

I don't know what the situation is like in Norway, but I 100% don't blame MDs in the US for trying to find their own treatments, because they're generally being left high and dry by the extreme rationing of the PPE. Doctors t

To be clear, I didn't really mean "spam proper", moreso the flea market / carnival barker language, eg "REAL 100% HD VIDEO BRAND-NEW CANON REBEL 5T QUICK SHIP WITH ORIGINAL LENS KIT", that often obstruct the in

Being "born from spam" really explains a lot about how most eBay sellers communicate to this day.

That's my foil-free theory; those are two very large releases! Regardless of sales, not being able to fulfill all the customer preorders would probably tank their remaining brand confidence irrevocably.

Not sure the UI is working the same for me -- dragging anywhere along the time axis, including the first death and hospitalization peak waypoints, scales the amount of time shown on the graph. It doesn't appear to affect the model.

It's not conceptually that different from YUV[1], the color spaces used by PAL television and most JPEG images. I can't speak to the Jaguar, but both of those decisions were motivated by the desire to completely separate the lum

It reminded me precisely of the situation in the US with the tax prep and filing process. A service the government could provide for free (which, by many estimates, would cost them less to do than maintaining the current system) but is in
