ivory54321··on On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem
I agree that it is plagiarism in this case however it opens up the question of if there value in a system that can take the thoughts and discreet semi-complete parts of work done across different researchers, in different locations, in different fields and connect the dots to solve real world problems and produce novel research. Is this not standing on the shoulders of giants?

This is also true for visitors to the offices located in the shard, it's very annoying to unload a overnight bag when trying to visit an office. I always wondered what the purpose was as regular employees skip the security queue

Stumbled on the website for the band The Strokes today. Anyone know of similar websites with this throwback aesthetic? Their store somewhat matches too
ivory54321··on Ask HN: If you were to build a web app today what tech stack would you choose?
I have just launched a relatively straightforward webapp that required a light touch front end with fairly significant data processing on the backend

- Backend: Django (Postgres in production) + Celery to handle async tasks - Frontend: HTML (standard django renderer), CSS, HTMX + occasional jQuery - Deployment: Render

I was already familiar with Python and I feel the language is more than capable to handle the data processing required and with Django I could concentrate on the actual app functionality without diving too much into auth etc
