Also, the population segment that matches all three conditions will be far from 'micro'.
Re:Europe seeks to limit use of AI in society on Wednesday April 14, 2021 @03:03PM (#26811561)
By the geniuses that brought us ePrivacy Directive and GDPR. Might be cheaper to just tell tech companies they're not welcome in the EU.

It's not tainted in Europe either. Sales are healthy and you see cars from the full range (Skoda, Seat, VW, Audi) aplenty. The overlap between car buyers and outrage bubble subscribers might be limited.

Good post, but that pie chart, man.

In future posts of similar nature I suggest clarifying visualizations with labels, or moving the legend much closer to the chart.

I have nothing to do with the Rust language, but here's what gave it away for me:

- "... you can use Rust for ..."

Re:Tinychart – simple, ready-to-go charts on Friday February 13, 2015 @07:43AM (#9044021)
If you're in the market for "simple" solutions like this, do yourself a favor and spend one afternoon with d3.js.

Pre-packaged chart solutions will never achieve 100% of what you're trying to do because the options for customization of charts are endless.

Learning the basics of d3.js will liberate and empower you.

This is a fantastic place to start: http://chimera.labs.oreilly.com/books/1230000000345/index.ht...

If you're a web developer you can start at chapter 6 and stop as soon as you know enough to do your thing.

Generic charts with a blue/orange color scheme. Clickbait bullshit.

SQL a 'finnicky language'? Are you for real? Jesus.

Re:Ask HN: Where to start on creating AI for games? on Thursday December 11, 2014 @09:31AM (#8734867)
To create a good (i.e. actually useful) bot you want to start by spending a lot of time in whatever game you're targeting.

Most bots, or trivial helpers like macros, are written by the players that have spent a lot of time in a game and identified the elements most worthy of automation. The player's lack of in-depth technical knowledge then leads to the mass of crappy bots out there.

If you're coming from the opposite side, i.e. you have technological knowledge but don't know where to start, all you're missing is domain knowledge of an individual game or genre to figure out what you actually want to build.

Edit: it's also worth noting that game AI and bots are pretty different problems.

If a 4 word claim with a few overstyled charts qualifies as research then we're doomed anyways.
Re:Show HN: Front-end framework optimized for internal apps on Thursday December 04, 2014 @10:50AM (#8699797)
Bootstrap started out as framework for internal apps.
Pretty sure $1k doesn't buy the in-depth product understanding that is required for a good landing page.

Re:A Maintainable Style Guide on Wednesday May 21, 2014 @06:49PM (#7781210)
The upsides remain the same, but in small teams there is less pressure to go for a component architecture, so you have to come up with the discipline to go through the extra effort initially.

yeah... no.

if you really want to deliver on that claim then make it a vanilla JS component.

Re:Introduction to HTML and CSS on Thursday February 06, 2014 @05:16AM (#7189603)
- things like "first-paragraph" are better written as classes.

- things like odd-even should be implemented with pseudo selectors.

Re 2:

Never, ever handle output files directly.

Re 3/4:

So far I haven't seen a single useful thing that SASS doesn't process. Chances are that those attributes/hacks aren't something you want to have in your CSS to begin with.

Re:Why Sass? on Wednesday November 13, 2013 @11:52AM (#6726455)
As someone else has mentioned: SASS is an amplifier.

If you hate or don't get CSS to begin with, stay the hell away from SASS.

If you do serious work with CSS, SASS will probably help you solve things better.
