Also as an uncle to a 3 year old, I could not believe a 3 year old could know the names and pronunciations! of 2x far more dinosaurs than me!

I feel like a 3 year old doesn't know yet which words they're supposed to know or which words are hard to pronounce yet, being equally baffled by words like "spaghetti".

I’ve been using emacs for many years and I had no idea you can bookmark files let alone bookmark remote files! Thanks for educating me today!

It's a neat feature. I typically bookmark directories on remote hosts, project roots, config files, etc,.. BTW, you can use `list-bookmarks` then annotate each bookmark with `e`, and display all the annotations with `A`.

Exact same sentiment - scariest drive I’ve done, but this was in Maui, diving back from Hana at night. I’ve never driven in such pitch black darkness before with hairpin turns.

Where can one see the list of best ranked HN posts?

Pressing enter in the search field on the bottom of the page takes you to a search with no filters, sorted on popularity. Or like this, I guess: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

That was really good! feedback: please make more such explanatory videos!

If you scroll down on the Chapel-lang website, there seems to be a lot of activity happening with this language. There is even going to be a ChapelCon 2025.

How did you remember this scene?!


When you watched Jurassic Park in a theater in your formative years, it tended to leave an impression.

If you were the right age when it came out in theaters in '93 (roughly between 11-15), Jurassic Park was a huge deal. Titanic was another of those in that era (although mainly to certain females).


Yep, I can still remember the immediate after-effect seeing it for the first time in theaters when I was 7.


Everyone knows (2+2bird) times it’s complex birdy conjugate (2-2bird) == 8bird


Anecdotal: Driving by my house (last month?) i saw a lane blocked and multiple police cars and various safety vehicles. As we drove past, i saw a Tesla Model X or Y, had gone over the median / lane divider, which is what 5” high? But the car was burnt crisp. You couldn’t tell what the original color of the car might have been. The road around it itself was charred black. There was no other car around to suggest a collision with another vehicle and there was no structural damage to the car. Made me think that maybe the car’s undercarriage hitting the median caused something to start the fire. But i’ve rarely seen a car burnt completely black, inside and out.


What do you use the lidar point clouds for?


I was previously working at a lidar company and now I am working at a robotics company providing calibration and localization software to customers using a combination of lidars, cameras, and other sensors.
