Do you think you could support typing answers in scientific notation? So 8e9 for 8,000,000,000. It would make typing in answers easier considering my guesses always end in a bunch of zeroes!

Does the orange mean your answer is within 25% of the absolute value? Or that your logarithm value is within 25% of the logarithm value of the true answer?

Thanks for making this, this is awesome

Having a high say-do ratio has always been important to me

You probably mean a "high do-say ratio"? That is, to complete as many things as you set out to do.

Great story though, it reminds me a bit of how the German language has individual words to describe specific intents and feelings. Of course the German equivalents are far more verbose!

Reserved Instances are a major piece of AWS Billing, accounting for $100B in revenue along side Saving Plans (SPs).

I think I know what you mean, but this reads like Reserved Instances earn AWS $100 billion/year which is almost impossible. I don't even think AWS earns that much annually.

We’re making GitHub Copilot, an AI pair programmer that suggests code in your editor, generally available to all developers for $10 USD/month or $100 USD/year. It will also be free to use for verified students and maintainers of popular open source projects.

Do you want to start using GitHub Copilot today? Get started with a 60-day free trial, and check out our pricing plans. It’s free to use for verified students and maintainers of popular open source software.

Seems pretty clear. If you're willing to do your own research (aka going to the CoPilot site): https://github.com/github-copilot/tp_signup, you'll see that pricing reflected here as well as the date when the free period ends, which is August 22nd.

I read this and it is interesting. I get why asking JS Hint contributors to re-submit/approve their changes is clear of the Do No Evil clause.

But, I don't understand why all changes before that (from JS Lint Day 1 until it was forked into JS Hint) aren't subject to that same clause. Why is the Eclipse Foundation not subject to it?

Dumb question, how does CashApp make so much money? Isn't it a free app with no fees? I have to imagine the free 1-3 business day deposit is highly preferred to the 1-3% transaction free instant-payment-deposit feature.

This is really cool and I love that people are using Wordle to explore and explain computer science concepts (to people like me).

The speed-up is significant, about 20x faster. This makes sense because instead of scanning half of all words on average, you only need to scan half of the words with the same first letter. I’ll assume this isn’t exactly 13x due to letter distribution.

Extremely minor, but I think one would still expect a 26x speedup, right? You go from searching half of all words to half of 1/26th of all words. Obviously there are more words starting with S than X and all, but my question is just in theory.

Does this pull data from anywhere else? (e.g. I've heard the Personalized Dashboard is more realtime and representative of actual health)

Or does it take services that the official AWS Status page lists as impaired and then increase the severity of the issue?

This title should say that he died. Right now it boils down to "Eric Carle" which does not signify a news event.
