I agree, the rhythm of the rhyming feels great - tight and (dare I say it) artistic. @franze is that something you have control over - is the prompting so detailed / accurate that you can specify that? Or is there some other tool that

My assumption is that the distorted image ( https://cms-cdn.lux.camera/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/261601... ) is actually a corner-crop of a 120 degree wide-angle photo. For example if you took the corner

I have a M1 Mini with 16GB memory. The machine's SSD is incredibly fast, so it swaps very well. Whereas my 2019 MBP will suffer incredibly when I start running out of memory (it literally becomes unusable and requires a hard reboot),

I've worked for my company for 7 years now, and I "get paid well for it". The actual $ figure isn't important, other than "it's enough for me". I'm sure it's less than the average software deve

Thanks for sharing this, I've not been (and never will be) a SV employee, so it's interesting to see such a different perspective. The big question that I didn't quite get from the post, is why did promotion matter so much to

The only successful SQL injection attack I've encountered in the wild was interesting, because the injection point had no visible output. But by injecting timing calls (eg "SLEEP()") and appropriate conditionals, the attacke

This was very helpful for me, thank you. I couldn't get Karabiner to work - it seemed to install correctly, but none of the "prepared settings" did anything. No matter what options I'd chosen, my keyboard (both laptop k

If one bidder spent more than $3500 in bids for that tablet, it's either a shill account or a credit card scammer. Neither one is particularly surprising with sites like this.

I find irrelevant gifs embedded in a blog post like this make the entire article unreadable. It's distracting and annoying.

"Mental illness" and "psychological problems" both have such unfair negative connotations. But yes, if someone is finding the pressure of an activity graph and "breaking a streak" is negatively impacting their

I guess I just don't see why Newbee is so much better than existing baby trackers, that I want to invest in seeing it made. Yes the UI looks nice, but the actual features don't seem any better than the dozens of trackers that are
