I have to say, after the recent Performative UI post here on HN, I was not expecting an apache foundation project to have gradient words on the landing page.
if, like me, you're a non-native english and speaker don't immediately understand what this is about: the page shows for each `n` what's the minimum `s` such that `n` squares with side of length 1 fit in a square with side of length `s`.
what I'm curious about though is what a proof for something like this looks like. and why does it need a proof? not to mention the randomness of some of the `n`s. Math is most of the time beatiful and whenever I see something like `n=11` I think "it looks wrong so it must be wrong" yet it has a proof.
At this point it must be intentional that there's always something uncanny about these fake pages. That google logo is so old that if I see it I immediately know to get out of there.
So I find it fascinating how there's always the odd typo, the old logo, the impossible combination of iPhone needing an antivirus, etc and I refuse to believe is incompetence.
I used to run a cs1.6 server on an amd 800mhz with 256mb of ram in the 2000s. I'm looking these days to get a mac mini and while thinking that 16gb will not be enough I remembered about that server. It was a NAT gateway too, had a webserver also with hitstats for the cs server. And it was a popular 16v16 type of server too. What happened? How did we get to 16gb minimum and 32gb will make you not sad.
that same moment I switched to Niagara launcher. After 10 minutes of using it bought the Pro level and that was it. I kept around 5 apps in main screen, YT music widget automatically pops up on top when I connect headphones. The side scroll is very well thought out. For each letter the most used apps are on top. This one clicked with me.
I think it's just someone learning something new most of the time.
I have home made url shorteners in go, rust, java, python, php, elixir, typescript, etc. why? because I'm trying the language and this kind of project touches on many things: web, databases, custom logic, how and what design patterns can I apply using as much of the language as I can to build the thing.
That's like Karcher opening a megamall to sell all their offering, vacuums, pressure washers, floor washers, you name it .. and then you, Bosch, complaining you can't sell your vacuum in Karcher's megamall where all the people go.
What are you even saying?
Whereas google was letting Bosch sell vacuums in their megamall, but only if it uses Google dust filters and people buy only Google made dust filters and Bosch isn't allowed to sell their own dust filters in the megamall.
Anyone familiar with how they're running x86 on a snapdragon? I'm more interested in that hitting your regular android phone .. think retroarch but you can play hades 2.
Is it me or is everything slowly moving to strong types but don't want to commit?
For PHP it slowly got introduced in php5.4 and now it's expected to type hint everything and mark the file strict with linters complaining left and right that "you're doing a bad job by having mixed-type variables"
In Ruby you get Sorbet or RBS.
What is JavaScript? Oh, you mean TypeScript.
and so on ..
My take is that if you need strong types switch to a language with strong types so you can enjoy some "private static final Map<String, ImmutableList<AttemptType>> getAttemptsBatches(...)"
