That doesn't line up though. See if you're 13 and meeting the level in 2012 your scores don't decline. So the levels would lag a few years. The 8 year-olds show up and miss the mark in 2017 that indicate the infinite scroll p

I'll just suggest -- I don't think they have A/B tested the right amount of emails. There was a time when companies optimized this sort of stuff, but the cost of researching that vs. just sending every opportunistic email pos

I tend to agree. It's pretty easy to have cooking skills that out pace the trouble of driving, waiting, and ultimately only kind of enjoying fast food. The advice I give people when rarely solicited, is that you work all day to ensure

It's probably 100k in one run and then they are stored for future use.

It requires an undergrad, just not in computer science.

I was self taught for 10 years in the field and found a program that offers a Master's degree with work experience accounting for the undergrad. I didn't take calculus or stats in my undergrad and that has caused some headaches in

I agree with this. I have to learn a lot about a new tool before I can effectively use the docs (beyond the getting started). If it's area where I'm already familiar, then sometimes I can jump in pretty easily, but often fumbling

I got a masters in cybersecurity recently and I have no intention in switching career paths from my system engineering focus to cybersecurity. I don't see why this can't just be a foundational study path for computer science beyon

I can't speak to LWN, but from what I've seen this is a bot that crawls the site, generates search terms and "deeper" crawling techniques using AI, and then makes another set of requests. This would be generating topical

We have been suffering this. It's easy enough to weather high traffic loads for pages, but our issue is targeted applications. Things like website search bars are getting target with functional searches for sub pages and content by lab

I've been through both aspects. I really wouldn't listen to any of the people in this thread. Advice in this arena is so specific to domain and environment. If you don't remember function parameters for every builtin or stdli

Hey, nice work. I think dedicating time and effort to documentation pays off in years to come. Also -- from your original plug about your product I would have ignored it, but after reading through some of the docs, I actually see some use c

I think Jaws of the Lion broke the rules down for Gloomhaven really well -- it introduced the complexities of the game slowly over scenarios. I would advise anyone who has a game that takes more than a couple of hours to play to have a way

I think people forget how new and dynamic these devices are. Maybe in a couple of decades we can have evergreen devices, but for now the changes of the devices and capabilities is still driven by new releases and proliferation. These types

I did a bunch of work with WinPE for Win 7,8, and 10. Customizing the environment for automated deployment was a ton of fun. I really came to appreciate the tooling available in WinPE (and it's eccentricities). It's probably what

Remember -- the lazy, bad at your job, etc. assumptions are attributes you are putting on the characters in the ads. At no point in the world of the ad are these indicated by any of the other participants. Side character emotions are typica

Huh, a capsule cluster of 4 M4 minis might cost around $12k and provide more CPU/GPU/ANE/RAM and storage than a maxed out Mac Pro, which would cost more anyway. They probably resell for more too. If you have a defined level o

It can still be simple -- look at it like this: 200 calories of Oreos provides very little additional benefits, while 200 calories of meat provides more additional benefits for your diet. It doesn't matter as much when comparing Oreos

I don't understand why people are arguing against this. It's pennies to continue the service and utilizing an established system. All you have to do is say "yep, looks good". Why close this door?! There's literally

Nice, I had a chuckle when in the middle of a discussion about some of Nixon's political experience had got stuck trying to decipher who "Kruse Jeff" was only to realize it was Krushchev. :D

There was never a shoplifting crisis. Shifting consumer behaviors, changes in social behavior, and other boring (normal) things have affected business and public perceptions on the subject. For businesses there's good motivation for fa

I'm nearing completion of my Cybersecurity Masters degree. It's fully online and takes around 20-40 hours per week of work. No thesis, but I do have a project/capstone course right now. I don't have a computer science un

This is nice, I zoomed in to where I lived and added my location. I then went to see who the nearest other HN profiles and see what they're into. Looks like their hobby is developing meet.hn! Nice work neighbor :D!

I had a period like this, I even stopped playing some games because it just was there anymore. My wife and I took a long road trip in 2021 and it gave me time to be peaceful (national parks helped a lot with this). I started grad school in
