With that out of the way, curious whether you have an answer? What is your favourite CS refresher material that is available online?

Sure, it's a valid nitpick. My intended meaning was "What is your favourite CS refresher material available online", and agree that the answers will be subjective.

It feels like a missed opportunity that the current generation doesn't already do that. All the talk is that Apple have been exploring VR behind the scenes for a while, and the devices all have 2+ lenses. It would have been quite cool

Agreed, I don't think the success of conversational podcasts precludes using the same platform for something like this. Other feedback: For this HN Recap, 20 mins daily is a bit long, a 5-10 minute version would genuinely be part of my

Fully agree. I don't see why general intelligence implies or requires consciousness/feeling/etc. We can probably create a tool with the ability to act independently and with super-human knowledge and judgement, but without fe

Can it do hands & fingers now? Stable Diffusion is amazing, but I've never seen it reliably generate realistic hands. The examples in the ControlNet repo show a chef in the kitchen with 6 fingers.

Now: Human Chess: a variant where you can't play what AI would play. Next: AI that can play Human Chess. After: Human^2 Chess: you can't play what the AI above would play. etc I wonder if this creates distinctly new games at each

Why would this be better? If existence of a competitor stopped everyone from trying anything new, the web would be much more bland. Even at this early stage, there's differentiation from alternativesto in their principles e.g. lack of

This looks really good! I'm a Meeter user so it's a real use case I have already spent time looking for solutions to. I agree with other commenters though - I'd pay a one-time $10, but $10 per month seems unreasonably high. F

Wow, here I was thinking I was somewhat original with my JIRA opening workflow. I have it configured exactly the same way.

It is not. Source: African. Unless of course you're comparing software developers' lifestyle to the refugees, nomads and slum dwellers? In which case $20k in San Fransisco is also balling out of control, when compared to the homel

> id rather make 20k in africa than 80k in europe. You criticise the comparison then proceed to make a vacuous one yourself. An anecdote to disprove your generalisation: I used to work in Europe (Reading, UK) and now work in Africa (Nair

I'm "double Bantu" - as a Kenyan I speak our national language Swahili, and I'm also from the Bantu Bukusu tribe of Western Kenya on my father's side. This migration history is even more complex because the migratio

Well, the point of the analogy was to illustrate the business model. I think there's room for a spotify model in writing. As a consumer, instead of a centralised platform, I'd like it to be an integration on the various websites I

I don't know much about Go so can't speak to the server-side handling of file uploads. The drag/drop side of things is server agnostic - I strongly recommend http://www.dropzonejs.com

I think the point is that whatever slowdown the use of Accessor pattern introduces will actually be a lot smaller than 2X, which is useful information when deciding whether to discard the great benefits of using the Accessor pattern that ot
