Isn't reCAPTCHA a spam? This video I watched recently does a nice history and also was enjoyable to watch https://youtu.be/seX_rDEsP6E?si

And we also need localization. Each country can have their own holidays

But is that even true? If you get enjoyment out of a drink in moderation, that affects your mental health which in turn affects your physiological health no? So maybe it's not healthy for all individuals to abstain completely. I don't drink except on holidays/events with friends or family where I can get the effects in 1 or 2 beers haha

As an Ethiopian man, I view this new Nobel Peace Prize with profound skepticism, a feeling rooted entirely in the disastrous outcome of Abiy Ahmed's utterly undeserved award. The premature praise he received for peace-making quickly evaporated, leading instead to a catastrophic war and the fragmentation of our nation. His prize has been followed by widespread conflict, massive displacement, and an alarming return to authoritarian rule. For us, the entire Nobel Peace Prize now feels meaningless, a hollow symbol given its failure to prevent—or perhaps its role in emboldening—such terrible suffering in Ethiopia

Why not abstract away the public static void main(String[] args) method with a top-level statement paradigm, similar to C#'s entry point simplification, to reduce boilerplate and enhance code conciseness?

Writing correct code did not start after the introduction of the rust programming language

I am curious as a non game developer, are these types of games deterministic? If so if I send to the server that I moved huge units to attack another huge units, can the server determine what the end will be? Why do we face a network issue?

Even more absurd is that Mac Studio with 512GB RAM costs around $9.5K

If you are wondering why not Rust instead of Go, they outline why Rust was not chosen. This is a port not a reimplementation. Many of the data structures can not easily be ported to Rust, such as Nodes with cyclic dependencies. Check the longer interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10qowKUW82U&ab_channel=Michi... Also, I think the discussion on esbuild's choice of language applies here as well as it has a large similarity. You can find it here on hn

I don’t think there was any dig implied. And I will second that it will add to self esteem. Specially during discussions if you have more understanding about the code you will have both better contribution and take away

I have a question, do you know of any spaced repetition app that is free for iOS similar to AnkiDroid?

How? Which ever button I press, I only get static. Am I region blocked? I have tried all the keys on my keyboard as well

Edit: It works on Firefox for some reason. Maybe extensions? I am not sure

That’s quite nice. But to put things in perspective, the entire country of Norway’s population is much less than NYC and also it’s not dense. I can’t imagine how you would implement that here

Is there a language or tool with no runtime? Also Config files can be JSON. I find nothing weird when it comes to .NET on linux vs any other technology

Couldn’t you do that with self contained dotnet build?

Also a good explanation and analysis on a similar problem is available from MIT https://youtu.be/r4-cftqTcdI

I did not know what to put in the description, so I put the blurb from the article. HN puts that as a comment. I am not an AI. Also I can't edit or delete it. It's not like other comments

Ethiopia's biggest commercial bank is scrambling to recoup large sums of money withdrawn by customers after a "systems glitch".

I second this. Things seem dire now for my country. I wouldn't recommend tourists to visit now. I am currently an expat and even I fear returning home to visit family in case something bad happens while I am there

Is there some cache going on? On my first attempt, there is a 5 second delay. When I try it second time immediately it works without the 5 second delay. But if I try again after an hour, 5 second delay again!

I am from Ethiopia. I can confirm that it does not work. I wouldn't recommend tourists to drive here unless they stay at least a month observing how traffic works. Years ago when I started driving, I use to slow down, be attentive, allow people to go first but through time I learned (was forced?) to be like the average driver or I couldn't get anywhere. This[1] place is renovated now but there are other squares where people drive like this. It's prone to traffic accidents

I am in Ethiopia. We use the metric system, maybe I am biased

Were they not happy due to possible collisions or something else?

What real life project only involves experts on specific field? Are you working on toy problems? Isn't there cost/benefit analysis to everything? If I understand something well, I can explain it to non-experts in understandable way. If I can't, then I probably lack full grasp of the topic

If I were to guess, I would say an average 4th grader knows the difference between nano, milli or micro seconds. Understanding the magnitude might not be the problem for the CTO. But why should the CTO care? How does it translate to his business requirements? That's your job to explain, no?

That way you also get the added benefit of not sharing your data

For the type of engineers you describe the hard part I think is communication with other devs, communication with product owners, understanding the problem, suggesting different ways of solving the problem, figuring out which department personnel (outside other devs) to talk to about a little detail that you don't have... it's not writing the code which is hard, atleast from my experience

In go, or similarly chess, the AI can play stupendous number of games against itself and get accurate feedback for every single game. Everything is there to create your own training set just from knowing the rules. But outside of such games, how does an AI create it's own training data when there is no function to tell you how well you are doing? This might be a dumb question, I don't have any idea on how LLMs work

Thailand comes to mind
