What part of

https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/about-our-food/nutrition-...

Requires a map? On my phone, there’s no map widget nor distance to a restaurant nor anything else distance related.

There’s zero reason for the current functionality to require giving google my location.

Sure, you can argue that one day they might add something that uses the map, but that day ain’t today nor does it seem a reasonable requirement to get the calorie content of some chicken nugs.

What are your details for 10 chicken nuggets? Are they different to mine in Sweden?

haha, not interested. Sometimes it is okay to bow out of an online conversation :) Retool and ToolJet are building in the same problem space of internal tooling. Primary difference is that ToolJet is open source. And btw, we launched in March 2021.

Open source is nice. I actually find these types of tools useful in testing where you don’t have time to do a full automated suite but you need to compare data between systems

Partner integrations will follow. For now we just have the weights available.

But don't worry, this community moves fast!

Probably superseded (by y’all) within a week!

You've already downloaded and thoroughly tested the 7B parameter model of "code llama"? I'm skeptical.
Eddygandr · 2 years ago
Maybe confused Code Llama with Llama 2?

"The user" on a typical website does not know how to do this.

For a user there is the benefit that they will not lose their presence on the website. Many users do not know how to navigate back.

Of course, in times long gone a new window would appear, and the pattern made even more sense than with tabs.

If you would have left out the word "always", I might have agreed that for this particular website and intended audience, it does not make much of a difference.

Right click, open in new tab? I’m surprised if most people don’t know this

If you do not know the product then maybe instead of saying that X is simpler/faster/better than Y it would be better/fairer to say "I don't know" or "from a look at their landing" ?
Eddygandr · 2 years ago
Maybe this should be settled Musk v Zuck style for the internal tooling crown?

On a more serious note how does this compare with Retool? I remember that doing the HN rounds in 2019 and it’s still going

> I simply wanted to filter job offerings based on social utility rather than language stacks

I wish more people did that.

Eddygandr · 2 years ago
I think this happens with experience - I’ve recently done the same after spending years chasing languages to work in

Fair enough, though I’ll note that only I’ve given an up-to-date reference.

Stack vs Cabal was a huge argument where I worked with multiple teams using different build tools. Add Nix and nix2whatever, and it was more fun. Spent half my time debugging build instructions

Etudes for Programmers is really hard to find to purchase - looks like it is around 450 USD on my local Amazon store and none in local libraries. Does anyone have a link to a PDF of it instead?
