agolio | 5 months ago | on: Auth.js is now part of Better Auth

That may be true but doesn't contradict the point of the parent commenter.

If Auth.js wanted to give up, that would be fine (although disappointing, since multiple options is always healthy, especially for something as critical as auth)

but this deal where they are "becoming part of BetterAuth" and recommending that new users use BetterAuth on the project README is concerning to me

There was a hackernews post a few days ago, pointing to a reddit thread where some guys proved that the founder/s of relection AI were faking their model by just passing the input to Claude (Sonnet 3.5) and stripping the word "Claude" from the output, amongst other things. Then when they got caught they switched it to GPT 4-o.

After this, I will be very skeptical to anything they claim to achieve.

agolio | 1 year ago | on: We need to liberate the Postcode Address File

I am a bit surprised by how hard this article makes out the problem to be.

Crowdsourcing should make short work of the problem, with the right incentives, which the government will be able to offer.

Additionally private map providers (e.g. Google, Apple) must surely have this data (since they are able to route navigation to private addresses). Why not just negotiate with them?

Cool site!

> Many businesses I work with use Tableau free versions, and just manually update the data

Why not just use e.g React/ Angular?

Or is it a question of needing python for the data analytics, and for server cost reasons not wanting it to be run on the server side?

I know nothing of Swedish law, but do these rulings not conflict with Section 11 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights?

Your argument aside, I am interested to hear you found it straightforward to run a successful non-profit.

Any tips for someone who is interested to enter that space?

agolio | 2 years ago | on: On a great interview question

Good point, though I guess the point of the disagreement is then for me that the question's "dictionary words" implies to me an english dictionary, rather than an abstract dictionary of words of potentially infinite length

> I then push them on this until they realize that any implementation of the dictionary lookup function of a string would be o(n) at best, and as such the total runtime of the solution is O(n²).

Is that true?

I am actually siding towards the candidates on this one

presumably it would be O(n_words_in_dictionary) for the dictionary check, which as the number of words in the dictionary is constant, would make the overall algorithm O(n) ...

Are you reading his works in French? If not, the criticism of the language doesn't hold up. I do agree with the recommendation though - enjoy his work.

Very cool project.

A little feedback:

Something is off with the graph when I try to use multitouch gestures. May need to adjust the call in whichever javascript library to disable zoom if that is desired, or correct some parameter.

I might find it easier to read if there were fewer x major ticks, so one per year for instance.

But overall very nice. Simple and to-the-point data visualisation without bloat
