I'm wondering: What did she tell you that made you build the website? Did she ask the same thing from the AI? Did you bridge any gaps the AI didn't do for you? I don't know the answer, but I suspect that she treated the AI di

Now you can be sure they write their announcements by hand. Doesn't really matter, does it?

I had long discussions over whether we could just not use tons on npm libraries and use the native browser feature for things like that. I typically lose these discussions because I'm considered the backend guy. My knowledge about HT

I really like this paragraph about management caring about AI: > What makes this worse, is our bosses have bought into it this time too. My managers never cared much about database technologies, IDE’s or javascript frameworks; they just

But I/O being the bottleneck never was about sequential reads, was it? I get the point of the article, though.

I'm wondering what exact issue you are referring to with Databricks? I can't remember a time I had to change a line I wrote during the past 2.5 years I've been using it. Or are you talking about non-breaking changes?

At least in the Java world it is common to let the logging framework handle parameter evaluation for you.

But lack of water will become a huge problem when your city is growing that fast in a heating climate. Edit: And cooling only works inside buildings or cars. Part of a comfortable city is being able to go outside and have a social life outs

Not building your city in the desert is also a good idea when it comes to being a comfortable city.

Extending the format just because you can – and breaking backwards compatibility along the way – is even more pointless. If you've created an extensible file format, but you never need to extend it, you've done everything right, I

How long does this procedure take in comparison to the network transfer? My first try would've been to copy the db file first, gzip it and then transfer it but I can't tell whether compression will be that useful in binary format.

There's an industrial robot arm built out of LEGO Technic bricks by OrangeApps, a small company related to German robot manufacturer KUKA. [1] It's primarily used for educational purposes. Disclaimer: I work for a subsidiary of KU

Your parent comment just seems to make their point and it's technically correct, but might have missed the nuance. All people in this conversation seemed fine. Are you sure that the following doesn't apply to your own comment? &gt

If you learn about the Wuppertal suspended monorail, you should also read about Tuffi, the elephant that jumped off of it in 1950. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuffi

The question is whether roads are a good thing.

by pvorb 2y ago
Yep. Just tax the rich and by that I mean actually rich like people worth more than 10 million dollars. Nobody will ever need more than that. Increasing tax on every day things will only make inequality worse.

Just no. Funding road infrastructure will just bring more cars on roads. That money should be spent on public transportation so it actually benefits the society.

Maybe this would be an interesting alternative runtime environment for PySpark? I think currently PySpark runs in Python and somehow interacts with a JVM and relies on copying data from one to the other.

Thanks! I didn't know that setting existed and I always wanted this behavior.

IIRC this used to be propagated back in the early HTML5 days. At least that's how it got to my personal website. I might've got it from html5boilerplate.com or a similar site.

Wow, so 12 years without a post about fb2k on HN. That's a lot of time.

If you want to remove the semantics of table elements, you could set a role="presentation" attribute on all table-related tags. I'm wondering what HTML semantics enthusiasts will say about this. ;-)

<object> works, but I was surprised as well that the others don't. It was really hard for me to come up with many tags that are still allowed.

I do. But to be honest, some phones are so thin that I fear I'll accidentally break them when sitting down. I'd rather take a thicker but smaller phone because of that.

Who cares about thickness other than tech enthusiasts? There are phones that are so thin, they feel uncomfortable while in your hand.
