Danya was such an incredibly positive influence on the chess community, a tremendous teacher whose YouTube content I’m sure will remain popular for years to come, and my personal favorite chess commentator. He was also only 29 years old. I’

If you're using this on an iPhone, the failure is quite non-informative. Trying to browse to a URL looks like you failed to input anything and it just falls to a blank screen. On the Mac, you'll see the message "Safari can’t

I think I have on 3-4 occasions played a game where, after evaluating on chess.com, got a 100% accuracy (which is engine correlation). A couple times were all theory and then blundering a mate in 1, but... I did have one game where I didn&#

But how can you justify removing the ability to have a local vault? Why would anyone think for a second that it would be a good idea to force people to store every password for everything in their life in your cloud without an opt out? That

That looks a bit like NDJSON, assuming that the space between the objects is actually a newline. There are libraries[1] that support parsing it and it's not too hard to do yourself, either. Some fairly popular projects use it to repres

It's almost expected you don't have enough time. When I was at West Point they'd explicitly state that. Additionally, there was a hard lights off policy at midnight to ensure cadets got enough sleep, yet people invariably wou

I went to West Point almost two decades ago. It's important to remember that almost every cadet here was a plebe (1st year student). Plebes are under enormous pressure, and they are only just beginning the inculcation of the honor code

A lot of how people and even companies conduct themselves has as much to do with cultural norms as it does with strict legal requirements. It looks like Matt Asay, the lead for the open source and marketing team at AWS, has already reached

I'm extremely disappointed to see how many comments on here focus on the very narrow legal questions and amount to: "Your license didn't say they couldn't." Open source software is more than a license and code. It i

What right do you have to determine who is allowed to have an opinion, and why is serving a precondition? I did serve, I've done time overseas including in Iraq, but I did not do so out of some distorted sense that it made my citizensh

It's usually more effective to have specialized interests, since it's very rare to have agreement on multiple issues across a large population (this should be intuitive to the HN crowd, where every issue you add doubles the number

Every time I encounter a site that disables pasting something, I just disable JavaScript, paste it, and then re-enable. Obviously not a solution for non-technical users, though.
