This is such a weird drama. The way I read it SD was effectively trying to put pressure on a guy because he developed a popular UI for using SD, and made that UI also support another model. So all their moral grandstanding is effectively ju

What a worth of space piece. It basically just boils down to the author being annoyed that other people visit popular sites too. If you don't like other tourists, don't travel to tourist destinations. It's that simple. You do

But why though? Lets assume just for the sake of argument that Magnus has insider information from chess.com making him 98% certain that Niemann is cheating. Why would he hand him a game that's going to be watched worldwide, where Magn

> I am disappointed with Magnus. He is misusing the weight of his reputation even if cheating is a big deal in chess. I think the unspoken truth but also the thing both chess.com and Magnus are hinting at is that Niemann has cheated a lo

I see where you're coming from, if the formulas end up having weird numbers like 535.4916 or numbers like 2.718 or 6.28318 then obviously there's something suspicious about the equation. But small correction though. You got the nu

It seems obvious really. Weird Al makes parody songs, of cause the movie was going to end up being a parody movie.

It would be interesting to see how such a challenge evolves, because if you do include inspection, then you really just have a no-inspection solve time. And the question becomes how often does it help to do inspections and when do you start

> How many meters did Usain Bolt have to run in training before he ran his 100 meter record winning run. That's not really an accurate comparison. The current setup is more akin to a 100m running challenge where he was allowed to ru

I feel like a lot of what's in the category of "you wont believe this is getting popular" on tiktok is a result of them faking views and follower numbers to rope in creators who then go on to think tens of thousands of people

What exactly is the bikeshed here? Naturally Python doesn't use the newest standards the second they are released because that would be chaos. So they need to consider when they use newer standards. In this case they found bugs and had

I feel like this is twisting numbers. The fact that 60% are "impuls buys" doesn't mean you are "tricked into buying more". If someone is renovating or moving, then they might go to Ikea to find a new bed or a new so

If your neighborhood decides for whatever reason that your IOU's are worth what is printed on them or even increasing values over time, then you can generate a lot of cash, and looking from the outside it will look like everyone in the

Personally I would say that the downvote features is extremely useful and valuable. Especially on Hackernews, as it helps to protect the community standards which are quite different from for instance reddit or other tech discussion sites.

This is as perfect example of just how horribly bad the typical "X does not exist" examples are, because here we all know the pool that is being used for training and can call out shitty "creations" for what they are. Fo

This is a great study in tech debt, bad attitudes and work arounds. That said, I think this will be a great benefit to python, I often end up mistyping only to curse at the stupid computer that knows exactly what i ment yet, does not do it.
