I was under the impression that "individual engineers ..." is basically implied always, if not just outright lies, I don't trust these listings very highly. Except when its clear that the companies are actually customers. Like; how do I even add my company to this list? Email them?

I found this one truly shocking!

Would be interested in others take on this. Personally, I wonder:

- By rolling the paper, will it really stay flat after printing? - How easy / cheap will sourcing ink be?

I might suck but I found it really hard iirc :^(

It may be a good idea to start the book with a really short "About the author" to state exactly this and your work experience. Otherwise looks well written to me, good job! :)

A lot is changing. Like 9months ago, I was convinced Claude was best. I'm not so sure anymore :^)

Maybe an intended effect, but the header ascii art is suspiciously misaligned... :^)

For me its 2 things. Firstly, I mean the posts are always a fun read but it feels like just that, not much deeper insight. Secondly, its very self promotion-y. This account is almost exclusively posting / interacting with Andon content, which afaik is against HN guidelines. These two in combination makes the content feel more like marketing than contribution to discussions. I feel like some other companies manage to share interesting work and market. But maybe its just my taste :^)

I once dropped my phone like 40cm the 100th time and my screen went completely black. However, the touch still worked! After loads of time and comparing to another android phone, i managed to blindly navigate to that blind mode setting and enable it!

I have immense respect for those that are blind and need to interact this way. In the few days I used my phone this way I noticed multiple apps, especially my bank app with a keypad, had completely broken navigation and iirc not even numbered the actual buttons?! So it was a 'swipe right 9 times, double tap, swipe left 6 times' while the TTS was yelling nonsense!

I find this stuff super fascinating and been thinking about it myself. Maybe one could bootstrap tiny models on a rather 'pure' procedural data set. Neglecting [0] of course...

Super cool. Also, love reading high quality linux patches. I think many, myself previously included, are afraid to even read the kernel source as one thinks it must be super complex. Of course some parts really are. However, the code is honestly of such high quality. I also highly value that feeling of realizing something once thought 'arcane' was actually only made by other humans, and it is legal to go read it and learn from it.

Love Pratt parsing! Not a compiler guy, but I've spent way too many hours reflecting on parsing. I remember trying to get though the dragon book so many times and reading all about formal grammar etc. Until I landed on; recursive descent parsing + Pratt for expressions. Super simple technique, and for me is sufficient. I'm sure it doesn't cover all cases, but just for toy languages it feels like we can usually do everything with 2-token lookahead.

Not to step on anyone's toes, I just don't feel that formal grammar theory is that important in practice. :^)

Of course :^) I'm close to jumping ship to GrapheneOS, but as a Swedish resident I really need our digital id services, digital mailbox, and banking apps. I have seen their page on app support, but I am slightly afraid its not up to date / will break any time. I guess the solution is to use one banking android phone and one GrapheneOS for everyday use.

Haven't heard this name before, would someone care to fill me in on a tl;dr? Sounds horrendous.

Bit tangental, but if this was a real thing, we could hopefully stop letting google / microsoft determine whats spam. Private mail servers would hopefully more common and actually work. Super annoyed, I use cloudflare + protonmail for my custom domain, but I have the feeling that some outgoing emails from my domain gets blocked... 90% deliverability means practically useless.

Strictly speaking, Isn't there still a way to express at least one Illegal string in ArchivedString? I'm not sure how to hint to the Rust compiler which values are illegal, but if the inline length (at most 15 characers) is aliased to the pointer string length (assume little-endian), wouldnt {ptr: null, len: 16} and {inline_data: {0...}, len: 16} both technically be an illegal value?

I'm not saying this is better than your solution, just curious :^)

Super cool stuff! I love the idea of games being refurbished to the point that it can be kept, almost source original, and still played years down the line. For example, I love Another World for this, being just a bytecode blob where each port is just a VM (good writeup: https://fabiensanglard.net/another_world_polygons/index.html).
