hrldcpr··on Intuit, Owner of TurboTax, Wins Battle Against America's Taxpayers
The article does also mention other bribes they've given recently, including $1 million to Trump
hrldcpr··on Powers of 2 with all even digits
The base 2 list is even shorter.
hrldcpr··on Every Emoji Kitchen combination in one giant image
This was just for fun; there are more useful Emoji Kitchen websites, including one that open-sources their crawl of all the images, which made this project much easier. Hat tip to Xavier Salazar! https://github.com/xsalazar/emoji-kitchen-backend/
hrldcpr··on Every Emoji Kitchen combination in one giant image
I was curious to see all of Google's Emoji Kitchen emoji combinations at once, so I put 137,943 of them in a really big grid (using libvips, which handles absurdly large images very well) and then made that deep-zoomable with openseadragon.
hrldcpr··on Starship Flight 7
for the record I was able to watch without logging in, on Firefox Linux
hrldcpr··on A Burrito Is a Monad
My Haskell is rusty—what does this line do?

    type Burrito = Meat option * Ingredient list
Does `*` create a tuple type?

Do lowercase `option` and `list` somehow specify `Option` and `List` types?

hrldcpr··on [dead]
This seems to be based entirely on 15 days' worth of data from the first month of the war. That seems insufficient to me, for such a confident claim.
hrldcpr··on Press Release: Future Software Should Be Memory Safe
This is just a press release, but they link to the actual report, which goes into more detail, such as specifically calling out C and C++

hrldcpr··on The Orange Pi 5 Plus
Mind elaborating on this? I've always used Raspbian and am interested in hearing about the downsides.
hrldcpr··on Periodic Table Gallery
My favorite periodic table is the subtly fake one from the BBC science parody Look Around You

hrldcpr··on 1D Pac-Man
Just use the spacebar, or really any key other than arrows.
hrldcpr··on Firefox Sync actually works
Yup if you scroll to the bottom of the Computed tab, it shows the "Rendered Fonts".
hrldcpr··on A slightly longer Lean 4 proof tour
I like the phrase "in a civilized fashion", I wonder what he means by that—no chatbots?
hrldcpr··on How to scale nuclear power
In case anyone else was wondering, the "MWh/acre" stats near the beginning are per year. Here they are converted to units that I find more meaningful:

"...a nuclear power plant can generate over 6,507 kW/acre compared to solar at 23 kW/acre, or a natural gas plant at 114 kW/acre."

hrldcpr··on Jumperless: Breadboard Without Jumper
I was also confused by the gallery at the top. You have to scroll for a while to get to a description and video (on mobile anyway)
hrldcpr··on YouTube is testing a more aggressive approach against ad blockers
I'd never thought of it quite like that, in terms of rich beggars versus poor beggars. Thanks for sharing.
hrldcpr··on Spinning Diagrams with CSS
Some commenters on HN and Twitter were curious how I made the spinning diagrams in a previous thing I wrote, so 8 months later I finally wrote down an explanation.

(Previous HN thread here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32528769 )

hrldcpr··on HackerRank (YC S11) DMCA'ed the SymPy Docs [fixed]
https://docs.sympy.org/ is down …seems like a lame move for a programming-oriented company.

The takedown message is here – https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2022/04/2022-04-1...

And the offending page is archived here, I wonder what part they wanted removed – https://web.archive.org/web/20220114132753/https://docs.symp...
