Cool project but... This is an egregious misrepresentation of the actual results both from significance perspective and accuracy perspective.

A. No validation is done on server side to confirm the workers are reporting correct results.

B. Increasing the limit by less than a thousandth of a percent does not make this a "world record"! If we go by that logic, I only have to validate one more example than you and claim a world record. And then you'd do the same. And then I'd do the same and we'll be playing "world record" ping pong all day!

But "B" isn't the big problem here because we have worse problems "A"! Nobody (not even the OP) can tell if the results are accurate!

No, I'm not simply dissing at a Show HN post. There are many comments here that explain these problems much better than I could.

This is egregrious clickbait!

Did they mean Ctrl+B to move a letter backward?

Ctrl+F moves a letter forward.

No license is going to be suitable for everyone. You might think BSD, MIT, WTFPL are the most liberal licenses but they are not suitable for me. If I am invested in an open source software enough to contribute code to it then I want that when a greedy company takes that software and improves it and redistributes it they are also forced to release the source code benefitting everyone. BSD, MIT, WTFPL can't do that but GPL can. No license is a silver bullet.

Exactly! Raymond Chen is doing a great job at sharing interesting stories from a bygone era.

Programming languages! It is ironic because I am a programmer and I write programs and develop software for a living. But proliferation of programming languages has made my life worse. Too many programming languages and every company has their own favorites!

It may be an unpopular opinion on HN but I don't enjoy learning new syntaxes every year for relatively few benefits in new concepts or paradigms.

In my ideal world everyone would be using Lisp (my username checks out!) but so much power. It has a simple syntax (some say it has no syntax but I think that is a little hyperbole). In my ideal world new concepts and paradigms are implemented in Lisp using Lisp. I'd much rather spend time solving real problems that real human beings care about. I'd much rather learning new ways of solving problems with new paradigms. I don't want to waste hours learning new syntaxes and their gotchas and edge-cases!

If anything, I think websites have more uptime these days than they were 10 years ago. Remember the "this website is under maintenance" banners of the bygone era, anyone?

I know that being a tourist in Canary Islands is fun but is it a good country for a German to move to permanently? Does it have the kind of infrastructure and healthcare Germany has?
