Mandarin is a spoken form of Chinese. So Mandarin and Cantonese, for example, share the same character set (Chinese). There's also traditional vs simplified Chinese, technically; they're similar with some differences in…
I've always thought that Twitter adopted the same line of thinking, preventing tweets from being editable.
I like using paper to journal about my day or write about random thoughts I might have that I'd like to flesh out further through writing. A few inconveniences of writing it though is that you might want to selectively…
There was a TV show in Japan where a man had to stay in a room until he managed to win $10000 of value in sweepstakes. I wouldn't say you can make a full-time job out of trying to win sweepstakes, since he ended up…
I have heard of some people experiencing sensitivities to MSG, but as the exception and not the norm.
The Persians also have an expression for "drunkenness and truthfulness", masti o rasti. مستی و راستی
The ptrdiff doesn't have to be signed. I'm pretty sure negative numbers aren't used in this context.
I really hope that the actual study gives more details about how this research was conducted. This article is way too sparse and seems more like a marketing post for the company that did the research.
One way I've seen discussed on HN is by sending varying amounts to N different accounts, where some are owned by you / affiliates and others are not. In a sense, paying for obfuscation of which accounts are actually…
I've always thought that the value provided was in comparison to old-school advertising techniques, such as through physical media or broadcast-style presentation formats. Nowadays, even if some Youtube ads seem like a…
HN has always felt rather US-centric and IMO it really reflects in the response that this type of news gets. For Twitter, increasing its international presence and talent pool is a big win. The community stands to…
I noticed that too. The copy on the casino site is especially odd. Opal Ruby to JavaScript Compiler It is source-to-source, making it fast as a runtime. Opal includes a casino comparison compiler (which can be run in…
While nobody expected books to have variable font sizes, the fact that ebooks do allow it to be adjusted means that people with deteriorating vision may still read them.
Not an answer, but there's something about large companies updating their UI/UX that always makes it worse. Same goes with Jira. If there were any specific reasons to doing these re-styles, I'd love to know too.
I'm concerned about the effect on people who find meaning in the work they do. It's similar to how AlphaGo caused Lee Se-dol to retire. Once AI surpasses humans, a lot of work will seem meaningless, even if it…
Looking at extraordinary people can be both encouraging and disheartening. I've always wanted to practice drawing after seeing all the incredible things that extraordinary people can make. However, the more you dig into…
- Get up half an hour before the work day - Coffee, sometimes something to eat from the kitchen - Lightweight (email, meetings, planning) work until lunch - Lunch with the fam - Development / design / planning work for…
I think in this case the wax lining on the pines would be moreso a property of the object rather than the apparatus through which we see the object.
Could this be why most Ask HN posts are desaturated? I always wondered why that was the case.
Although it's getting harder and harder since many platforms try to blend their ads in with the actual site content, I can avoid them reliably well by checking metadata such as the poster, some indication that it's an…
We may harm ourselves or others around us for nothing but the feeling of control in our lives. I remember reading somewhere that eating disorders were an example of simultaneously losing and gaining control and, though…

I've had bed bugs in my apartment from library books too unfortunately. I'm not sure if there is an easy solution for public spaces - especially libraries where you have air conditioning, electricity, washroom…
Nucleics gave the people so much more than what 5G gives to us. I would imagine that it would be very difficult to impress anyone with the advantages it brings, versus being able to levitate and emit light.
Same. It took me a second to piece together the fact that the link directs to nature.com and that it's the other type of cold fusion.
