If it would be less trouble (because of customs and other external factors), and assuming it can help, maybe a phone keyboard can also be considered? An OTG cable plus a normal USB keyboard might also be a solution if portability is not a r

While I gladly embrace the shift to solid state, I find the mechanical engineering in old electronic devices, cameras in particular, quite fascinating.

The name, monocle, also further misleads those expecting the physics topic. They actually have a nice logo with a lens and the lambda symbol which is often the symbol used for wavelength.

Entrepreneurship sure may be difficult as a whole. However, some difficulties are not really necessary. For me, it's a matter of seeing the end goal and removing as much obstacles as possible to get there faster (optimizing for time).

Opportunities that require big risks is also another factor. My academic acquaintances abroad may be doing well financially and travel-wise, but they all have to live their foreign bosses' ambitions despite being very bright people. It

Having built both desktop-native and browser-based apps, I think there is an efficiency in doing the widget layouts textually via code/markup once you get over the learning curve. I believe Qt and wxWidgets also have automatic layout f

It gets worst when these users/students run to others when the AI generated code doesn't work. Or with colleagues who think they already "wrote" the initial essay then pass it for others to edit and contribute. In such c

My personal/work files for which the physical media of origin no longer exists. Source codes, mine and of others that I care about. Compilers. Lots of books and Wikipedia.

Build/make something. Preferably something new to you and preferably on your own as much as possible (even if you're following someone else's instructions).

This also applies when calculating losses from paying third party services.

I think there are evolutionary arguments for it, besides avoiding sickness: * Generally, the opposite sex is physically attracted to fit individuals. * Finding food prior to agriculture or paying others. * As for sugar, I'm not so sure

Maybe cheating a bit if we allow compilers to run on more powerful machines, different from where the program will run. It could be possible to utilize more modern or "ergonomic" programming languages or rely on convenient librari

I believe Audible is already using non human speakers as well and just making up names for the narrators. I can tell since sometimes pronunciations are wrong and sound similar to TTS mistakes.

Have read the first few chapters and it expects that you either read the accompanying source code or implement your own and pass the tests. The pseudo code presented in the book often look like function calls with the inner details not ther

I use Audacious on Ubuntu as I can almost get the same UI configuration as foobar2000, tabs of playlists which can be made on the fly or from saved files. A music player app is something I always use on the background, so all the fancy visu

It might be fun to look at the last few chapter's of Wirth's "Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs" for a deep dive and similar looking diagrams.

Thorsten Ball's books are the closest thing to Crafting Interpreters. Not just by topic, but also with how the code is presented. By far these are among the few books I know that take the effort to guide the reader to programming somet

I find memes to be more annoying as the meme stock images are far less likely to be relevant and to add any value. AI generated images, on the other hand, are sometimes used to illustrate something useful. Given a choice, I would personally

begin/end might be more familiar. Some languages don't even have the equivalent of (Pascal's) "begin" since other keywords are already associated with starting a block.

Maybe no longer true today, but with the right tools, C# and VB.NET used to be auto translatable from each other and IL can be decompiled to either.

Sometimes I still find the need to write a lot on a phone and it's thumb typing in a touch mobile device that frustrates me the most. I believe a good add-on keyboard, preferably just as portable as the phone, would have more use cases

I would be interested with an ability to temporarily filter (show only from / hide from) shared links from a specified domain or see all posts of the same type (e.g. Ask HN, Tell HN). But without having to be a full blown search.

If you have time, blog or share code. If things work well, you could get audiences, but there is much less socializing. Writing also helps in becoming more articulate when opportunities for conversations arrive.

Yes, unfortunately. I hope though that LLM's reliance on training data would at least give human writers an advantage when it comes to novel content such as new tech.

I'm actually biased towards older articles, given the rise of SEO oriented writing, and now, LLM generated content. Standing against the test of time should be a badge of honor. But readers like me may be the minority.

I feel weird about edible artwork. Do I buy it for food or do I buy it as a piece of art? How many of it would I ever buy? Then there's also the added costs to both sides. It might be very niche.

For those who want to broaden their options and are not really constrained to only using SF2, the SFZ format has a similar purpose and there are many free instruments as they are easy to create (a text markup referring to the, typically WAV

It is possible use "recursion" to create a 20kb long URL, which would be blocked by HN for being too long. Some browsers might not support it though.
