I hope you guys realize this is what almost all of you people sound like on this website.
Not minority. I love this stuff too, I can find project links I saved years ago by searching my own history. I like Timeline on Google maps and seeing where I've been. Check out the movie The Circle.
Hackernews should do this too.

Still works for me.

I've picked up working on this if anyone needs any help configuring.
Re:You’re not writing code, you’re solving problems on Sunday March 29, 2020 @04:04PM (#22722208)
I'm definitely not solving problems. I'm just writing code. And copying and pasting. And merging.
Re:A Visual Debugger for Jupyter on Saturday March 28, 2020 @04:02PM (#22713916)
Someone at IBM turned a notebook into an RPC callable micro-service. I've adapted that idea too, and put an http (gcloud/away compatible) wrapper around all my functions. It was here but that is apparently gone. http://blog.ibmjstart.net/2016/01/28/jupyter-notebooks-as-re...

I've been getting that a lot lately. That's what makes this not fun. If my company is knowingly stealing from people why should I keep silent?
Re:Please Help Me Delete Me Account on Wednesday October 23, 2019 @01:11AM (#21331282)
Yeah, that's my best defence. Right to forget in the EU. HN is operating illegally. Even Facebook has a permanently delete feature now.

This is amazing. Lots of politics on this site recently, but this is beautiful.

Source or it didn't happen...
Excellent! I can be buried under a tree, like I always wanted.
Why isn't this the way docker works?

Freedom of press doesn't give you the right to break other laws.
Re:Coders Automating Their Own Job on Thursday October 04, 2018 @04:15AM (#18138062)
They said I didn't look at a meeting so they were mad when I'd show up a minute or two late. Of course no one cares when other managers showed up a minute or two late. This was at Charles Schwab. I'd never work or invest there.

Re:Coders Automating Their Own Job on Tuesday October 02, 2018 @04:13PM (#18125304)
I use a calendar pretty heavily to stay on task. I automatically accepted meeting invites because my job was so boring going to meetings was probably the only good part. My managers found out I accepted them automatically and told me to turn it off. Instead of turning it off I put a 5 minute delay on the invite receipt. I was laid off for "attitude problems".

Woohoo, immigration!!
Everything should be open source.
So tired of building these myself, thank you for this. :)
Dang, this guy would understand my argument for what IS tested in science versus what people WANT to test with science. There is a huge gap especially in medical PRACTICE and drug DEVELOPMENT. I.e. What IS practiced versus what could be practiced if we (the participants) were safe and capable of developing. I.e. Often we try to prove something is correct and overlook proving something is incorrect.
I think someone was doing this to us earlier. What happens when someone can tell you are following them? Would it just be easier to ask someone to tour you around?
Re:Show HN: Search for a domain expert on Reddit on Thursday September 27, 2018 @03:31PM (#18087816)
Neither is it proof of being an expert.
I like your brain.

But in order for something to be salable, lots of people have to like it. If you are always on the leading edge you might be more in to research than business. There might even be grants available to help fund it. There are research laboratories that build things and then those inventions are used for entirety different purposes. The example I was given were the airport scanners could have been used in malls for fashion instead.

This makes me wonder, do garbage collectors properly garbage collect themselves?

How about in Arizona where it is 120. Too hot could kill someone easily.
Re:Ask HN: Client wants a bad user interface on Monday September 24, 2018 @09:50AM (#18057636)
I'd have to agree with davelnewton, people throw around the word entitlement WAY too often.
