The algorithm I mentioned in the OP is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_rule

I practiced the algorithm by replacing my doomscrolling time on a trainer app (https://whattheday.com/) over the last 3 weeks. I went from taking 2-20 minutes to usually get the wrong result to about 95% accuracy in 10 seconds.

This training app to teach you to play piano by ear and to sight read also got posted today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46556210

Mine did not! I distinctly remember setting it last night but it only shows tomorrow's morning alarm. I set my alarm through the "sleep" feature where it gives you a schedule and automatically sets an alarm that you can modify day-to-day.

The author’s mistake was assuming that interfaces are unique to Go. I think it’s still a helpful article as someone who works frequently with interfaces because, while I “discovered” the interface upgrade idea on my own, I had never considered the proxy problem.

Lots of words to say "goto can be good" with nary an example of a good use of goto. Hard to judge the point without a concrete example.

It's probably hallucinating that versioning. You can't trust LLMs to provide info about themselves.

I stumbled on this video around a year ago after being on Tinder for a little while. I was frustrated by the number of spammers on the app and at the same time, got really tired of constantly swiping without much results. This video blew my mind- this guy who supposedly didn't know how to program was able to get over 30,000 matches on Tinder just by creating a simple Selenium bot.

It begs a few questions:

1. Seeing how easy it is to make a Tinder bot, how many people are actually doing something similar? How many spammers?

2. This must be generating many obvious signals of bot-like behavior, and yet Tinder isn't banning his account. Why?

Returning to my experience with Tinder for a moment— after being an unpaid user for around three years, this video convinced me that I was hopelessly outmatched if I didn't at least start paying for any kind of Tinder subscription. I paid for the highest tier subscription for one month and suddenly was getting more matches than I could possibly handle. The pay-for-play is real.
