I think it can be reached through settings, then the question mark. Explanation of the pieces would be nice too!

Just wanted to say I appreciate your responses here. Engaging so directly with a highly critical audience is a minefield that you're navigating well. Thank you.

When I read the title the first thing that came to my mind were Magna Tiles. Glad they made it on the list. It's the only toy in the house that lasted the test of time from she 4-8 (and counting). Also I love tidying up Magna tiles, ev

Nice idea but I think the predictions are way off. I ran a 3:17 in spring and targeting a 3:10 marathon in a couple of weeks. As unlikely as it sounds Strava predicts 3:13 (think they base it on my last marathon), Garmin is similar. Runalyz

Reading Faust in school left a lasting impact on me and an appreciation for the language as a tool of art. I believe many are not even aware of the amount of proverbs coming from that classic: Des Pudels Kern - the poodles core/crux o

I'm definitely the target audience for this: I hate Goodreads and I still use it on a weekly basis. A couple questions: - where do you get your book data from? To my knowledge Amazon has a de facto monopoly on this and there's not

I love this and want to order a couple pairs! 1. Are the branded/not branded models the same cut? Since the angle on the pictures are different it's hard to judge. 2. Why do you not have more pictures of the shoes? Since those are

My loves goes out to your son! This is a great achievement that needs no comparing and it is a great achievement on its own. Well done to him and the whole family in supporting him!

Yes, mission statements are usually just bullshit. But if you want to fulfil your mission you still need to make money, otherwise you have a dead company. Making money can never be a goal in itself. At the very least the money serves the s

That's not what was said though, populism wasn't presented as the answer, only as a straw man.

I've followed Calm closely when I was in the startup game and I think they deserve recognition for trying to find a different way. One that benefits founders (primarily bootstrappers) and investors alike. Seems like the third party in

For anyone interested in other theories that were not mentioned and not satisfied with the unfalsifiability of Many Worlds I can recommend reading Carlo Rovelli's book Helgoland and his Relational Quantum Mechanics[0]. [0]: https:&#x2

Goff being one of the most popular modern panpsychists you're save to assume he's aware of its history. I guess he uses the term less these days because it's too easily dismissed as something esoteric.

Your ecosystem has gone so complex that you can't test it anymore. So instead of handling errors properly you suggest to implement a convoluted user flow that offers always failing actions (install a printer when there's none avai

Great to see this on here. My kids (4 and 6) spent some good amount of hours on your colouring templates already. Thanks for not making this a subscription, or force me to use an app.

I just can't get my head around this argument of 'scales to zero'. If you have one or more professional developers working on a project how can you be bothered about an extra $20-$200/month when you know you'll also

But in reality those limits don't disappear, they just get buried deeper, hidden in the docs somewhere. AWS Lambda has a default concurrency limit of 1k and each function has a configurable memory limit. Sure, those limits allow for a

Serious follow-up question: So the difference between 'managed' and 'serverless' databases is that for the former I know some level of infrastructure (CPU, RAM, size, etc.) whereas for the latter it's completely hid

Your design looks very professional. As theoretical advice I would suggest to read the book 'The cold start problem'. It explains how two sided marketplaces work and how you can get them started. As practical advice I would sugges

I consider free will fundamentally an illusion but at the abstraction level of 'me' (also a faulty abstraction) it does make sense to use these concepts sometimes. But it's important not to confuse the map with the territory.

'Assume good faith' is part of the HN guidelines. Not OP, but as someone who had his first trip a couple of months ago, I can relate to a couple of points you're calling out. Regarding integration: I have had appointments wit
