If you have n nodes, each one needs to connect to n-1 other nodes. But the connection from A to B is the same as the one from B to A. Therefore, there are n(n-1)/2 total connections.

Re:Transparent Ambition: on translucent user interfaces

My Mac screen isn't transparent. Why should its UI be?
If there is "some sort of AR glasses and something smaller form factor than the Vision Pro that will require transparency so you can see through to the real world", limit the transparent interface only to that device.
Re:Ask HN: Java why put string in a constant?
on Thursday May 22, 2025 @10:28AM (#44062413)
You just made TWO typos: "display-name" vs "display_name" and "_name" vs "name", automatically counter-argumenting your point.
It is also for documentation. With the declared constants, we know all possible values. With plain strings, how am I supposed to know which values to use?
The benefits far outweigh the marginal cost.

I would be happy if they worked locally. It is not often that I need to set the temperature remotely, when I am not in the house. But often I am laying in bed at night and don't want to get up and go downstairs to adjust the temperature. Why can't they work on the local network? That would take no resources from Google

I'm fortunate enough that my daughter has an admirable interest (and talent) for Math since very early age. She even won a medal at a renowned nationwide Math competition when she was in Grade 5... competing in the Grade 10 category.

The concept would be more interesting and realistic if they removed only Garfield's thought bubbles (after all, Jon can't hear Garfield's thoughts anyway) but still left Garfield in the comic.

Yes. The fresh-water lakes and rivers sphere definitely does not look like it could fill the Great Lakes next to it. I am not saying it doesn't, I'm just saying it doesn't look like it could.
