Probably adoption of the "long now" foundation style ?
The "fair use" part takes a lot of place in this article. It talks a lot about what happens if you use more tokens than what you're allowed, but curiously doesn't pip a word about what happens if you use less - for…
It's a good idea, but from the docs it looks like the high level abstractions are wrong. If my data pipeline is "take this table, filter it, output it", I really don't want to use a "csv file input" or a "excel file…
All of this seems unnecessary, and easily replaced in the provided benchmark by : i2 = np.ascontiguousarray(pg.surfarray.pixels3d(isurf)) Which does the 100x speedup too and is a "safe" way to adjust memory access to…
I wonder why are the example videos this specific clip compilation format. It feels to me that to navigate that, you essentially have to index 500 10-seconds videos, and that looks a lot easier than retrieving…
Bricklink has been acquired by Lego 4 years ago, I don't think that's a secret at all !
The planet has never been, is not and probably won't be in any near future in peril. Humanity is. Humans disappearing is the concern of ecology. The planet will adapt just fine with or without us, and species…
Here's a conclusion that you can also take from the same article : "In the UK, ages 1-59 year olds are dying at almost eight time the rate if they don't have any baby tooth left and don't absurdly love dinosaurs". The…
If think the joke is that author himself don't side with the (mostly pointless) debate about pizza and pineapple, so whatever your own opinion, you can see his point.
But then someone at the bank has to decide between Visa and Mastercard. And this persons surely thinks "ok, the conditions are roughly the same, what is going to make sure none of my clients even bother to ask why we…
In the context of the presented html, the first line is <html lang="en" class="no-js"> . So, "no-js" does exist.
The blog is called "a collection of unlimited pedantry", so at least some pedantry is to be expected !
>Your new technology claims to be superior to existing lithium-ion To be fair, it doesn't. The article is explicit that it's only 20% as mass efficient s lithium-ion battery. On the other hand, it's also true that the…
Well, my initial point wasn't that bandwidth is _bad_, it isn't, but rather that the fact that ISPs got everyone, apparently including lawmakers to focus on it isn't good for our actual usages, where latency and its…
How often does your cloud storage provider allows you to send 1Gbps to them ? For the ones I use (dropbox, mega, google drive), the answer is never where I live. At best, it will be 10% of that, and usually less.
A 4K video is 16Mbps, it seems reasonable that a household would want to have 3 of that running, or at least will want that in the near future. With the common background traffic already present on connections, it…
But none of this already fills the capacity. Websites are served on slow as hell aws virtual web servers, delivering their content byte by byte or so it seems. Content is already not filling the capacity 99% of the time…
Well : 1. A 4K video, if I estimate it at 56 GB per hour, need roughly 16MBps. Even if 3 people are using that, that's 50Mbps needed. 2. Downloading a video game is usually capped by the server providing the download…
I wonder where is the breakpoint in throughput where it become useless to have more. While ATT stance of 50/10 is certainly not enough for common usages, 100/20 starts to be in the range of my small household peak usage…
Does mainstream cinema production portray anyone as a _normal person_ ? It doesn't stop to academics. Every single profession has its tropes, and it's quite uncommon in my opinion that there's much deviation on it.…

No it doesn't imply that. Your article is crystal clear, and makes a valid point based on your personal experience. So, thanks for writing it, and don't bother too much for internet points !
What happened to the HN rule of "interpret everything with the most positive interpretation possible", when this is the top voted comment ? It seems pretty obvious that the author doesn't intend to coerce anyone into…
In a world where the sounds of sports on TV is not even the true sound of what's happening in the stadium because it's boring, I highly doubt they would pay a single penny for what would probably be a highly…
I really like it :-) (It's telling a lot about the state of the internet that this site loads google malware, but won't remember where I let the sliders when I refresh the page though.)
