Dunno where you live, but according to this ( https://www.epilepsy.com/stories/shedding-light-photosensiti... ) from a US charity: About 3 to 5 percent of the 2.7 million Americans with epilepsy (approximately 100,000 in

As long as this isn’t about all ‘non-warfighters’, this might be a good thing. My Dad served for over 30 years in the Royal Air Force, retiring as an Air Vice Marshal (USAF 2* General equivalent). His badge of rank was only ever about havin

Marvellous. Puts one on mind of ( https://www.hhgproject.org/entries/poetry.html ) :) Next time I’m in London I must go and leave a biro on Douglas Adams grave…

Architecting, specifying, verifying and validating are still important disciplines - those /can/ be in scope for a traditional ’developer’. You’re not irrelevant, but your role may be shifting a bit. Embrace the learning opportuni

Please grow up. As of iOS 26.1, the transparency effects can be substantially turned down; 26.4 builds upon that, making the issue all but moot. If you choose to self-sabotage by moving to another OS, forcing you to repurchase apps on a com

The FlightRadar24 app has had this feature for quite some time. I like your implementation though - it’s very easy on the eye.

Hindsight’s 20:20. Why the snark? There’s a lot to like about the App Store experience from a user perspective (I am not a developer).

Links don’t work for me and nor does searching GH for DocuDeeper. I’d love to try this - if I can get to it!

So what? If it helps my son to be a good human in his early teens, I’m in favour…

Nice. Will it land on Apple Music at some point?

Gorgeous. Thank you, from an aging Brit who feels utterly at home looking at this. :)

Question: if dopamine is the answer, what’s the second-order solution the brain is after?

I have a new respect for Conan O’Brien seeing how he found humour in / dealt with his parents deaths so close together. Inspiring and deliciously, subversively funny! Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations - that is both glib and facile. Bad shit like this happens even between citizens of the same nation. This is not a borders and migration issue. Characterising it as such has deeply harmful consequences which we’ve been seein

Yup. Search ‘case studies’ on that website. Donella Meadows was an environmental scientist and an eminent systems thinker long before the term became mainstream.

Awesome project, and a great idea to build a powerful capability using mostly off-the-shelf tools! Do you have a write-up somewhere, please? Even if only a few notes or code snippets, architecture outline, or what-have-you. My son is eight,

Came here to say this. Raindrop is great, with all the features most will ever need, and really nice well thought-out browser extensions.

Not really relevant to HN, and in any case, what was true five years and 3-4 months ago need not be true now.

That last sentence is baseless, alarmist nonsense. The rest, makes some sense. We are definitely one of the most surveilled societies in the western hemisphere, but just look at the press here. If you think there’s a fear of criticising gov

Screenshots imply that this tool maybe useful only in the US. Do the price search and other features work in any other countries and/or currencies?

Good job 9front! Pity there isn’t an obvious date and time to pin this as an (obvious if you read it) poisson d’avril.

Agreed regarding roll out - in the UK the grid is struggling to cope with rollout of Tesla and similar charging networks - there’s no way it’s ready to cope with the demand from widespread adoption of what BYD proposes, nor will it be for m

Although even that is moving in the right direction via synthetic fuels to hydrogen and even some battery electric in public projects in the UK. Depends how ‘heavy’ we’re talking I guess. I wonder how long it’ll take the monster machines us

One factor for me is the multitude of (sometimes semi-)isolated vendor ecosystems. The Thread and Matter technologies should eventually improve this, but right now vendor lock-in can be a problem and only the tech-savvy are going to activel

Hi there. Just signed with the display name GeekFriday. Is that the information you need?

You could interpret it that way. If your objective is to lose your best and/or most expensive talent. Probably a double-edged sword…
