Re:More German than many Germans on Tuesday August 04, 2026 @02:04AM (#49164805)
I am german. That was such a nice story to read :)

It made me feel more warm about my own country - Especially that everyone was and is so nice to you!

That's how everyone should get invited here.

Not with suspicion but with open arms.

It's nice! A few notes: I think, the ability to read the comments of others, who have already cooked a recipe, would be great! Additionally, it would be great to have the possibility to group ingredients, since many times you start with creating two ore three independent mixtures, that you only combine in the end.

My gut feeling, for attracting users, would be to just optimize the recipes to be found by people via search engines. It's great, that you are currently adding images. This is, I think, pretty important for deciding, if I want to cook something or not.

Re:AI predicts earthquakes with unprecedented accuracy on Tuesday August 27, 2024 @03:21AM (#41365240)
For me, its quite clear from the article, that always returning `true` is not what they did: "[the ai] predicted 14 earthquakes within about 200 miles of where it estimated they would happen and at almost exactly the calculated strength. It missed one earthquake and gave eight false warnings."

So its: 14 Positives, 8 False Positives and 1 False Negative

Hi!

In the best case, the developers of e-commerce website create unit-, integration-, and functional tests to make sure, they do not break existing functionality.

But a website is not only code. Its also data and configuration.

Since these types of configuration (e.g. prices, legal texts, bonusses) can change quite often and can get quite complex from the business perspective, it does not make sense to have developers create automatically executable tests to make sure, the website is configured as it should be.

And its often not the developers who change the configuration. Maybe its a product manager, a marketeer or the ceo.

These people often do not know if they configured something correctly. In additiom, they often don't get any notification, if an process, that is important for them, breaks due to a misconfiguration or some bug in the code (not every code base has a test coverage of 100%).

So, I am creating a No-Code Black Box E2E Monitoring Tool, that the process owners/configurators can use to regularly check, if everything is working fine.

I love ant games and I love Rim World! I think its a great idea to combine those into a 24/7 game!

But I thought, its a mobile game. If it was, it would be something, that I would definitely try

Re:My daughter (7 years old) used HTML to make a website on Thursday July 18, 2024 @01:04PM (#40997619)
I love, how the path for the computer page is "/unicorncopy". Already thinks like a real pro!
Thanks :) Apple does many things but they don't seem to keep bees.
From the article, it sounds like Apple aims to create an "AI App Store", where the users can choose the AI Supplier thmeselves instead of only beeing locked in to "Apple Intelligence". I think its a smart move to build an AI platform instead of beeing an AI supplier by themselves.

I can't say if you are kidding or not.

I am a little bit worried, that you aren't.

Its true, that I did not refer to deliverability. But I can do this now :) Mailinabox has a dahboard that shows you if you are on any spam list. It will also just stop with the setup, if it detects, that the IP of your machine is blacklisted.

The cases where my email got blocked, I always received an email back from the box, so I think there are no cases where my email just disappeared into the dark. Reasons for blocking where: - Some strange spamlist blocked my IP. I was able to resolve this by filling out a i-am-not-a-spammer-form on the spamlist provider - Some email server required from me that I add my personal address to my website, so that they know who maintains the server

Never have I send an email but it was not delivered without notice

I self host my own email using mailinabox. Its working like a charm for my personal use case. If anyone is interested in setting this up by themselves, here is the opentofu (formally terraform) code I am using: https://github.com/JonasTaulien/opentofu-mailinabox
Hi HN,

Do you know the positive feeling you get when someone remembers important things about your own life?

Wouldn't it be cool, if you could give this feeling more often to people you care about?

In the past I thought a lot about how a solution, that would help me with this, should look like to me.

Within a week I want to publish an MVP for everyone to use.

Each day I will write a blog post about the progress of the past day.

I will keep you updated :)
