I have added two deeper "Behind the Scenes" pages for those interested in the linguistic philosophy or the specific agentic workflow: WHY SWALPA? ( https://swalpa.org/behind_swalpa/why/ ) This section dive

Hi HN, I built SWALPA ( https://swalpa.org ) because learning spoken Kannada is a New Year's resolution for me and I realized most language apps teach you formal grammar, but not how to negotiate with an auto-rickshaw driver

I've always wondered about this. I'd expect this to catch up with Amazon and not work out in the long term. But their stock price keeps going up and they keep eating up new markets.

Yeah, as a neutral observer, I feel conflicted. What the CCP is doing feels wrong. But on the other hand, China was forced to agree to the HK situation particularly since they were at a disadvantage militarily and economically to the Britis

I'm hoping this is just a stale mail? It'd be weird to have the same discussion here all over again. Everything the CEO mentioned last time is still applicable. What's worse is I'm not sure we'll be able to collecti

I don't know what it is about most of these pages, but their design feels very old school (in a good way)! Got me a little nostalgic, and it's such a joy to read pages just focussed on the content and absolutely nothing else. The

Is there a reason the HN title is so flagrantly different from the title if you jump to the link? "Huawei was able to eavesdrop on Dutch mobile network" in the original sounds a lot less incriminating than "Huawei eavesdroppe

Goldman Sachs is 150 years old and still kicking. I wonder if a part of that longevity is the org/incentives structure. And (cynically) maybe just that regulation entrenches existing finance players and there isn't anywhere near a

I have a Kinesis Freestyle 2. And it does tent. With the optional VIP kit that is, but most everyone recommends you buy the two together. FWIW, I absolutely love the kinesis. I have 2 pairs and the older one is 4+ years old. It helped me hu

I wonder if over time, Golang will pick up more type features like Java and other languages have. The general consensus seems to be that powerful type systems are very effective. Personally, the low footprint runtime and concurrency primiti

I was wondering (and hoping), it's just a case of the title changing on the media site. The original title definitely sounds more inflammatory than the one they changed it to later. Thanks for clarifying!

My personal opinions on the protests aside, this is clearly a different title from the original article. And it's deliberately titled to make it sound worse than it is (at the moment at least). I'm not sure how one requests a titl

I've heard of in-toto at work and it's still very new and shiny. Even the article mentions early adopters adopting it in 2018. I'm not surprised multiple vendors haven't adopted the system yet. 2.2 million on a research

I've had weeks and months like this. The general healthy advice all worked for me to different degrees. Exercise, meeting friends and having non-desk/screentime intensive hobbies. Meeting friends and nurturing those relationships

This course (at least the videos) are on YouTube for the latest iteration. I found the YouTube interface a bit more familiar for sampling the course. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrw6a1wE39_tb2fErI4-WkMbs...

He mentions Reddit at the end of the article, which is close enough in mechanism to Hackernews.

While I understand that Twilio is probably not at fault for the actual leak, I'm curious if they gave Parler some time to migrate/shift before cutting them off from their services. It's easy not to care since Parler is the &q

I've enjoyed listening to the MIT Distributed Systems lectures too. They do paper reviews and I pick the papers/topics which seem the most interesting (rather than doing them in order). They are great if you've already gone o

You aren't. Especially with remote work on the rise. This is one thing I hope all of us continue opposing vehemently. It's a huge privacy concern and companies have too much incentive to want to monitor this kind of data.

It's more nuanced than that. Speaking as someone who has done the diet and had multiple people around me also have results with it when other diets haven't worked (as well). The hormonal impact of what and when you eat tends to ha

The first half seems like simple bandwidth sharing, like mobile hotspots. But everything after "In the future", is super vague. Help find pets etc, looks like it'll try to make a pooled community video set-up and someone can

From what I understand, each of your devices can act as a mini-wifi extender. And that extended WiFi is public (to other Amazon sidewalk devices). And that's useful if you have say, smart outdoor lights which could be out of your Wifi

I switched off Chrome's recommended article feed after reading this. Are there any tools that help limit bumping into news? I've also been trying to reduce casual news consumption.

I've used Podman, SystemD and Buildah. It's great to hack around with. SystemD is particular is very polarizing and I don't want to start a flamewar, but it helped me "get" init systems. Podman seems to have a bette

As someone who doesn't fully understand the rules around these acquisitions, is there a clear enough framework for what companies one can acquire? Are companies more frequently flouting that or is this a case of suing companies while t

I might disagree with how "popularity" is computed here, but as long as they have been consistent, the trend is probably real. IME Java still has a very real stranglehold on business logic code, especially in bigger companies. Gol

A large part of leadership/strategy in tech companies is ex-consultants and MBAs. Engineers don't call all the shots with sunsetting projects. If anything, we have a healthy (?) skepticism of product managers too but they definite

It surprises me not to hear more concerns about strangling U.S. based tech giants at a time that China and the rest of the world is catching up. I'm not sure I buy that line of argument myself, but I did expect it to come up more promi
