warvariuc··on CockroachDB license change
> You paid $0 and contributed nothing

I think investing into integrating a tool into your infrastructure is not exactly "paying $0".

warvariuc··on Complex life forms existed 1.5B years earlier than believed, study finds
> Complex life forms existed 1.5B years earlier than believed

I think it would be more correct to say "It's now believed that complex life forms existed 1.5B years earlier than believed earlier"

warvariuc··on Surprise: Metabolism Doesn't Slow Down in Middle Age
Should textbooks and science related articles stop saying "we know" then, if every now and then statements change?
warvariuc··on Rye: Homoiconic dynamic programming language with some new ideas
The blog entry titled "Less variables, more flows example vs Python" is strange. ( https://ryelang.blogspot.com/2021/11/less-variables-more-flo... )

The Python version uses intermediate variables so the author of the code is to blame for verbosity, not the language.

warvariuc··on Air pollution over Alberta oil sands up to 6,300% higher than reported
Shouldn't it be 64 times?

    x + x * 6300% == 64 * x
warvariuc··on All PyCon 2023 talks sorted by the view count
I think if the page included descriptions of the videos (from YT) it would have been much better.
warvariuc··on Firefox tooltip bug fixed after 22 years
So, there is hope that in 10 years this bug in LibreOffice is fixed :( https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46429
warvariuc··on Nginx Unit – Universal web app server
I am happily running Nginx + supervisord + several Python apps in a single Docker container.
warvariuc··on Ode to the M1
> Interesting, this results in a fully functional desktop version?

It's very snappy. I run Firefox to work with my Internet banking site in an isolated environment.

I installed KDE -- I am very satisfied.

warvariuc··on Ode to the M1
I use Ubuntu in UTM, but I installed the ARM64 server version, then the desktop packages.
warvariuc··on The strongest evidence for a Universe before the Big Bang
> The Universe doesn’t just expand uniformly, but has tiny density imperfections within it, which enable us to form stars, galaxies, and clusters of galaxies as time goes on.

"which enable us to form" -- huh?

warvariuc··on The hardest part of being a junior developer
I often recommend this video to Juniors in IT: [The Myth of the Genius Programmer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SARbwvhupQ)
warvariuc··on Show HN: I made a volumetric audio visualizer
I really miss Winamp visualisation plugins. I've seen some very good versions.

Oh, my!

Rupert Sheldrake also performed similar experiments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnA8GUtXpXY
warvariuc··on AI reduces a 100,000-equation quantum physics problem to only four equations
A fairer title would be "Researches Reduced a 100,000-Equation Quantum Physics Problem to Only Four Equations using Machine learning"
warvariuc··on Ask HN: Have you experienced “hiring fraud?”
> I can solve any problem. I've created more than $1B value for companies I worked for in my career.

That sounds suspicious. I don't know anyone who "can solve any problem". And in order to deliver larger value you need to work in a team. How can you be an effective team member with a fear of video calls?

warvariuc··on Battery made of aluminum, sulfur and salt proves fast, safe and low-cost
<quote>These are articles for taxpayers, not for you.</quote>

Are they? Taxpayers don't decide where their taxes go.

warvariuc··on GNU Nano 6.3
Works as usual for me (I am on a Mac). shift+up/down selects lines. shift+fn+right -- selects till the end of the line.

He talks about you in his sleep

And there's nothing I can do to keep

From crying when he calls your name

warvariuc··on I got foiled by PHP's deceptive Frankenstein “dictionary or list” ARR (cont)
As of Python 3.7, this is no longer an implementation detail and instead becomes a language feature.
warvariuc··on Number of people on government websites now
It means that Edge is less used within Mobile device type.
warvariuc··on Who Uses To-Do Lists?
I've used a dozen of todo apps over the last 10 years. This is the best I found: https://tasks.org/

It allows you to snooze recurring tasks (unlike Google Keep), can hide a task from the list until its time comes, and a lot more!

And it's free. But not available for iPhone and this prevents me from switching to iPhone.

warvariuc··on A neuroscientist prepares for death
> However I found his last point a betrayal of his life and intelligence.

Sounds a lot like "he betrayed his faith".

warvariuc··on YouTube is banning anti-vaccine activists and blocking all anti-vaccine content
I guess, if your statement wasn't researched and peer reviewed, it'll be considered misinformation...
warvariuc··on Nitrous Oxide – A forgotten greenhouse gas
Similar logic applies to the case when we would use laser robots to get rid of weeds. It's artificial selection. Are you suggesting we should stop fighting weeds/insects to get better crops?
warvariuc··on Fabricius uses machine learning to help translate ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs
I like that they used term "Machine learning" instead of the hyped "AI".
