Even if they didn't make a fair point (and I think they do), I would prefer their pedantry to your palpable contempt by a large margin. I mean "palpable" literally. My body is tenser and my heart more sad having experienced t

Really rewarding keyboard UX on this. Typing felt great. I couldn't figure out how to shuffle or give up via the keyboard. Shuffle with escape would make sense.

I regret not signing up for Discord when they first introduced facial recognition and middle schoolers were trivially spoofing their ID checks with meme pics. There's really something to be said for greedily signing up for most things

If you watch the video (which is classic and the real content here), the lawyer cedes the second half to a career detective, who agrees with him in full.

What happened was the set of available moves and rewards has incrementally changed. What has not changed is that nerds are humans, and humans are terrible at resisting increases in status, power, wealth, etc. If the glorified nerds of the p

It is hard. Much harder than regular software work. A few things need to line up: model iteration speed, task chunk size, and your own context window and comprehension abilities. Too slow and you lose interest. Too easy and it's just t

This just makes sense. A normal day contains dozens of experiences that could be bettered by cheap actions that I am awful at predicting or imagining. I had an argument with a partner at one point where I was baffled and basically at a lo

Worked great for me. Big recommend. "Cured" is mostly an unspecifiable state, and while certainly there's lots still wrong with me, I am healed far beyond my expectations at the outset, so increment your count by one.

Rich people aren't scared of plastic guns, that's completely unrelated. This is drone legislation in disguise. They passed a bunch of import laws on new parts, motors, etc from overseas within the last year or so too. The US is wh

Google has given a public statement about this category of incident (to wit: cloud provider imperils customer's operations by way of automated decision deliberately designed to withhold recourse). That statement is the last 15 or so ye

I agree, experience this, love it, etc. The "0% product hunt, 100% show and tell" bit is one of the benefits of an ecosystem with painfully high upfront entry costs. Does anyone know of an active forum of any kind (discord, reddit

These comments are not only clearly, poorly botted, but they're uniquely botted, which IMO shifts blame away from general botting of HN, and towards ombedzi purposefully botting his own post after it failed to get organic traction. T

I wonder if it's righthanded mouse users? I'm using a vertical ergo mouse beneath my monitor, and your comment made me realize that it's quite similar to if I just.. reached for the scrollbar and pulled it. As opposed to havi

Given the iOS-ification of macOS, the macOS-ification of Android is a good thing. If this shrinks well and encourages more netbook form factors or desktop norms on tablets, even better.

For as cursed as our timeline is, "Linux desktop is solid, LLMs exempt you from the fiddly bits, and valve fixed gaming" was not on my bingo card 10 years ago, but hot damn, we just might be okay.

That's fair, I agree. But anything that can be contorted into a billboard will be, so that shortcoming is more feature than bug, at least for me. They're just a map, and that's it, which ~~keeps~~ kept them on the right-ish s

That's a response to an opinion I don't hold, but I could have been more clear. The claim I'm making is about the fitness to hold office. Specifically: septo/octogenarians belong at the ballot box, but not on the ballot.

The tone of this article is genuinely repulsive to me. I would be excited to read more about this exact set of topics, but only from an author who is not so purposefully snide. Yikes. This author wrote a thing to make people feel bad and i

That chart is comparing point in present time, not point in generation-relative time. IE zoomers at ~25 mills at ~40. If you were to approximately age sync the red and yellow lines on that chart, by moving their start dates to the same poin
