I tried solving this with a search engine that accounted for reviews with some manual curation, but I realized there's actually an extremely limited set of 'good' recipe sites and kept returning the same 10 sites with a long

Also check out https://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php which is a treasure trove of pizza experiments. Varasano himself was active on the forum back in the day (~2005) and a few members actually started their own p

To be fair this is a very very old list dating back to 2006/2008 and these were the pizza names that came up constantly at that time - it's also only rating the shops that he personally traveled to which were predominantly NY&#x2F

You can use it standalone and manage the state yourself. Looks like they actually might have added locking recently with https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/pull/2697 but I haven't looked deeply

I agree with you but nothing about the comment was discussing whether or not people will pay for repl.it The context of this HN post is about originality itself.

IMO before react native came on the scene there were no well performing hybrid app frameworks except possibly xamarin. So it likely wasn't your fault

I highly recommend reading Vincent Woo's piece about Lambda to understand the criticism better with actual evidence. https://vincentwoo.com/2020/05/19/on-lambda-school/ It's also arguably not

I haven't reviewed their numbers recently but the historical criticism is that you end up paying more money for Lambda yet their placement rate was lower compared to similar bootcamps.

I'm building a search engine for this exact issue - there's 10000 recipes for every dish but they have to be contextualized: Do I want mac and cheese in the next 30 minutes or am I serving this for Thanksgiving? Those are 2 differ

So I have the same issue. On Slack, I can't tell if someone is busy - almost no one sets their status as away unless they're actually offline. Whereas in the office it was easier to assess via headphones or if they've just go

I don't disagree with you, but graphql just lends itself well to bad decisions and many times when I've poked at graphql endpoints they share these issues (missing auth after first later, exposing schema by accident, no depth&#x2F

If you're in a major metro local meetup/slacks are a great tool. They'll provide the intro without you needing to 'know' the person. I've done that successfully with engineering positions and you could likely g

Wish he didn't make fun of bad English from non-native speaking posts - of course they'll seem cringey to us. There's plenty of legitimate examples he could have used instead.

I didn't find it obvious that Fastmail allows multiple wildcard domains but it is a supported feature and extremely useful for throwaways and custom projects.

I find it funny that software with relatively no r+d or initial costs have become burdened with VC.

This sounds super cool, is there a public link to your work? I'd love to check it out

If anyone needs a download, you can easily install/sideload via f-droid or the app can be trivially built with './gradlew assembleDebug' (provide your own keys to build a release version)

Ah yeah I saw this initially but haven't given CRFs a try yet. I was hoping ml had advanced enough that I could throw newer solutions at the problem. Thanks for linking this though, I just realized there's a lot of labelled train

There's a more practical but relevant cooking problem that I haven't seen discussed - when extracting recipes from websites it's tricky to parse the actual ingredients and quantities. For example, "1/2 cup of diced

I wrote an Android app for managing recipes with bakers percents so I definitely agree - being able to scan over the ratios of water, salt, and sugar tells you a lot about the recipe and what the dough will feel like. I do wish normal cooki

It's hard for me to see the value in monetizing posts from OSS projects. If I wanted to pay for someone's thoughts I'd be using substack or paying for pictures from OF - in both cases the value I receive is directly tied to t

What's the purpose? Do finely tuned job descriptions attract more candidates? I'm guessing the point isn't to actually describe the job if the copy can be automatically generated.

I've been building an app for bread baking with bakers percentages. It's been hard to find a solid recipe app that's not hell-bent on monetizing via a shipping list or even supports easy recipe creation.

Conversely, renewed competition may also be a good sign that there's a market for such products. You do need a place to differentiate, fortunately the surface area of the problem is fairly broad. As an example, look at low-code for ins

I had the same feelings as the parent - this article did not make good arguments for using Haskell specifically in building production systems, it instead argues that Haskell is a good programming language yet many of the benefits listed ca
