You can ask for it to put the markdown in a codeblock. It works well for me. It also works with latex.

This! It's a game. When a merchant signs up to an ad platform (or when the platform is in need of volume), they are given good ROI, and the merchant also plays along and treats it as "market…

Depending on the data you collect, targeting by user - unfortunately - works. If the granularity is not one user, it will be a hundred. If not, a thousand, and so on. I've seen apps run ads targe…

Actually I don't care for any kind of organization for personal files. I just search. I have my _really_ important files that are cumbersome to recreate like a <50kb jpg of my signature for th…

A credit card, or some money related government ID is what should be used for checking. If you make a separate ID for this, or use something "not risky to hand out", you'll just be crea…

Yeah. But the system files add so little to the backup size that I just backup everything except tmpfs and xdg cache anyways. I also reduce backup size by simply not backing up ~/{Pictures,Videos…

The drone operator need not be in the location you're delivering in. If you put on the hat of an executive, the job can even be outsourced to mexico :-)

Yes. Instead of the endless search for the perfect static posture, just keep moving the various joints now and then. Adjust your elbow or wrist or the desk or the chair every now and then. This can ma…

Yes. I made the mistake of procrastinating on one part of a project thinking "Oh, that is easily LLMable". By God, was I proven wrong. Was quite the rush before the deadline. On the flip sid…

Do 20% really use e-readers? Sounds like a huge number. Do 20% even read frequently? I'm not from the UK, and I'll admit my current reading habits are a sad excuse for what they were in my c…

Yea, my relatives (india) with one android and one iphone took a couple as well in san francicso.

Not arguing as a part of this thread but as an aside. Can chrome even take 100 screenshots a second? What would be the max? I think it's interesting.

What would be the threshold beyond which you would be OK with a ban? Because there would always be some people OK just about every single practice.

Yes. I think the author meant that the rate of change is bounded [without the function needing to be differentiable] but used the term "gradient" anyways. I guess you shouldn't use the …

Sure, but in every democracy most laws pass with such just-about majorities.

But most laws in democracies pass with just about majority. The president in america was selected with just-about majority. Do you suggest changing elections so that we keep doing them until the vote …

So if 57% in a country agree with a law, the remaining 43% should be allowed to circumvent that law through these means? Of course, the opposite argument is "what about north korea", but it&…

Thankyou!

> Inserts are also expected to be in bulk (They are initially a new physical part that is later merged into the main table structure). A single DELETE is an ALTER TABLE operation in the MergeTree e…

Have you actually tried deploying to webkitgtk ever? Good luck "testing" your video conferencing app on webkitgtk - it doesn't support webrtc! It is still useful to test your error page…

> reduce to purely economical I didn't. Please read the multiple qualifiers I added to that phrase. >> If you collect enough people, with sufficient heterogeneity, you will find that the…

No. But also, nobody(first order approximation) uses Gnome web. I would wager most javascript web apps don't work on that browser anyways due to webkitgtk. The most popular gnome distros all come…

Yes. When a group of people get together to do something, the most visible effect will be that of GCD(each person's motivations). If you collect enough people, with sufficient heterogeneity, you …

Can't remember the last time I agreed with every sentence in an HN comment.

Yeah, people keep trying to find a purely economic reason for why folks are having less kids. I think I'm satisfied with the very simple reason that raising kids is hard work . Most people feel …

I'm familiar with hypothesis testing, MCMC, and MLE. Can you explain how they are bayesian or frequentist?

Curious, what happened to keyvase?

Really nice, wow. Honestly I don't see myself remembering and using the variables features(which gives the exiftool feature others here are raving about) but it's already insanely good witho…
