I can't speak to the physics but I've done cold water dives, and if you prime your wetsuit with a thermos of hot water, that envelope of hot water stays in your suit for a surprising amount of time

I wrote a Ruby gem to address this problem of hiding sequential primary keys that uses a Feistel network to effectively shuffle int64 IDs: https://github.com/abevoelker/gfc64 So instead of /customers/1

It's really an indictment of how far HN has fallen to Redditification* that you see this kind of low-brow ignorance so prevalently and so often. Yes, the greedy doctors who are lucky to get a couple hours of medical coding training whe

Not all companies. Only corporations are required to have boards. LLCs are not - their structure is dictated entirely by articles of organization.

There is no board of directors. Twitter isn't a publicly-traded company any more; it's private and it's owned by Musk.

Take heart, even if you weren't shadowbanned, with a young, low karma account your first comments on most subreddits would get automatically modded as spam by Reddit's dumpy spam filter anyway.

As a primarily Ruby dev I'd prefer the AI/ML ecosystem not be split-brained between two languages that are semantically 90% the same thing. Just learn Python and integrate the models into your Rails (or whatever) apps.

Just using the file system is inadequate for some reasons that TFA mentions. For instance, returning gzip or Brotli compressed versions of resources, or returning HTTP 301/302 redirects for certain requests. Also if you use CloudFront

It's far more real than the so-called "Steele dossier" that the media made hay with for years, unsuppressed by the professional-managerial class. If you're in favor of suppressing your political opponents' speech ri

Is the company actually a non-profit? When I click the donate button Stripe says I'm giving to "Markups, LLC" and the IRS exempt organization search doesn't return results for orgs containing "Markups".
