There are tons of proven, tested libraries for this.

The dumb, successful approach would be to use one of them.

You didn't build a search engine in 160 lines of code. You build a client for a search engine in 160 lines of code. The vector database is providing the search.

Look, I made a thing in two lines of code!

    import thing from everything
    thing()

Impressive! My company is willing to buy this from you for 200 million dollars.

Developing in a container might mitigate a lot of issues. Harder to compromise your development machine.

I guess if you ship it you are still passing along contagion

The wiki appears to have been deleted. Maybe you can recover it?

Does this really work? I would think the ping time would not be dominated by speed of light, but by number of hops, and connection quality.

As a hypothetical example, an IP in a New York City data center is likely to have a shorted ping to a London data center, than a rural New York IP address.

The speed of light sets a minimum bound even if you don't account for that, and these are coming up less than the minimum bound.

It also reminds me of this old story: https://web.mit.edu/jemorris/humor/500-miles

Would be even slower as the light will travel slower in the optical fiber and there will be time associated with each repeater as well.

That is a great one!

while I definitely agree the autocorrect has gotten worse, what I find more of a problem is all the various other pop-ups that occur. For example, they recently added the ability to 'undo' an autocorrect, but this pop up grabs focus, and you can't click on text near this pop up, because the pop up will claim the click.

I've also had trouble getting rid of pop up menus (copy, etc). If I want to click on text, but it has decided to pop up a menu, it can be a real pain to get rid of it. (I had no problem on previous versions of IOS).

There's a fundamental law of features: Every feature you add may may make it better for people who use it, but it makes it worse for everyone else.

If you keep adding features, anything will eventually become unusable.

Hah! I have exactly the opposite problem, I hit the space bar, instead of N, and the iPhone doesn't understand this a possible typo, so all the suggestions and auto-corrects are wrong.

perl died because "Perl is write once, read never"

Executable line noise.

There seems to be a minor bug. When I switch tabs and come back, sometimes the spring is moving. Some times a small amount, and other times it appears to be streched to the max, and extending off the top and bottom of the screen, until it calms down.

Safari, Mac.

I just wanted to write about a similar observation when using it in FireFox on Linux:

When wiggle the spring, keep the mouse inside the white area until it is at rest, press CTRL+u to see the source code, move the mouse to close the source code tab and close it - for some magical reason the spring is moving again for a little bit.

Yes, good sleuthing, that was one of the last remaining things I wanted to fix before launching.

Just fixed, should be live soon.

and then, to make money, they'd have to stop giving the correct answer, just like search engines
