It looks like GitHub's tree-sitter powered code navigation is no longer maintained: https://github.com/github/stack-graphs

Re:I failed a take-home assignment from Kagi Search on Wednesday May 14, 2025 @01:31AM (#43981136)
I agree. The company should have either published clear guidelines on how the project would be assessed or provided some feedback on what could have been done better. It's okay to fail an assignment, but it's not acceptable to waste someone's time without offering anything in return. There are many companies, including pop startups, that handle this well.

The problem in the story is not that the candidate was rejected but that the process is largely disrespectful by asking for a lot of unpaid time to implement some project without clear guidelines or giving valuable feedback.
Did they? Can you share the source of this information?

Re:Can Dell’s 6K monitor beat their 8K monitor? on Tuesday July 04, 2023 @06:42AM (#36584839)
It's because a smaller screen with the same (high) resolution means higher pixel density and smaller pixel size. It's something noticeably more expensive to manufacture.
I have the same issue with my Steam Deck but didn't have the time to Google it. Thank you for saving me these few minutes!

The author "decided to archive all stuff related to this project due to people not being able to comprehend that publishing an open source project does not mean that a person is willing to spend their free time on the problems of others."

And to think ~10 years ago it was subject of a joke to call police because of theft of fictional online goods [1].

Re:Ask HN: Alternate Email hosting to G Suite on Saturday January 29, 2022 @02:15PM (#30129422)
I use Migadu on a daily basis and the experience is absolutely incredible. The UX is very satisfying: everything is well described, it's a simple website and seems to just work. It serves a bit as a buffer for all my email traffic so I can use any client I like (even redirect to gmail if need be). The pricing looks reasonable to me. Overall I can highly recommend this.
Re:How to make Linux run fast again on Intel CPUs on Sunday October 13, 2019 @06:39AM (#21239665)
Big thanks for making the website. I stumbled upon it a few days ago and I'm pretty happy that somebody pointed my attention towards this.

The parameter list could be even reduced to fewer elements as mitigations=off covers nopti, nospectre_v1, nospectre_v2, l1tf=off, nospec_store_bypass_disable and mds=off.[1]

Re:Slack’s Shares Plunge After It Predicts a Larger Loss on Thursday September 05, 2019 @10:00AM (#20886706)
It's very unlikely considering they thought about doing that a few years ago.[0] I don't think they'll rapidly push forward with adding features characteristic for Slack as well. Teams is just yet another corporate tool that is easy to sell to existing customers of Office 365.

Re:A mathematician's way of converting miles to kilometers on Saturday August 10, 2019 @07:05AM (#20661393)
So n * (1-0.5) * (1-0.1)... This could also work for miles to km conversion in a similar way: n * (1+0.5) * (1+0.1). Not as accurate as golden ratio but still acceptable. :D

Wow, I haven't peeked at the commit history for some time. Thanks for the info!

Personally, I prefer something more lightweight and for some time I've been using gogs - https://github.com/gogits/gogs (so far so good)
