In this statement by gabaix, Hacker News reflects on the importance of listening to CEOs endorcing their own products.

(Seriously, what's with the writing in the article? ChatGPT can do better.)

You need to drag the malicious .7z-file onto the 7Zip Help window. I don't know who is at fault, but that's a pretty weird intrusion vector.

"Linear Algebra: Gateway to Mathematic" by Robert Messer. I'm not sure it's particularly great, but it showed me a level of elegance I hadn't seen in CS at that point. So I switched my minor to math and hasn't regretted it.

I work for a company that is owned by and serves pension funds. If I do my job well, it means better retirement savings for nurses, teachers and kindergarden teachers. That's pretty motivating.

Saturday at peek hours 1kWH cost me 4.27 DKK. Six hours later it was at 1.67 DKK. That's $0.4 saved per kWh. We run our dishwasher every day.

Our tariffs for electricity vary by the hour. I don't know how to detect that by voltage?

I wish my dishwasher could automaticly start whenver the price of electricity was low. I can manualle delay it by doing simple math in my head and forecasting prices, but it would be easier and more foolproof if I could script it with IFTTT.

A pretty useful feature would be to start when electricity prices are low.

The PM announced a total opening on February 1st in Denmark.

There might be mandated face masks for guests at hospitals and elder care in addition to proof of vaccination or negative tests. At these places only.

All other restrictions are being lifted.

It starts with the Singleton and vaguely hints that it has some drawbacks. Why start with that, then? And why not flat our recognise that it is understood more as an anti-pattern these days?

I don't get blogs like these. This story has been told a million times with more or less the same content and structure.

It's not to pick on you, but why do people spell it with a capital S? I've seen it in several comments over the years. But their spelling and logo, at least going back to the 80'es, have been "Microsoft". I think they might have been "Micro-Soft" for the first year, but that was 45 years ago.

MicroProse, on the other hand, went with the capital P.

No, that's a false dichotomy. They could've just made up a new name for it.
