Why buy Japanese bootlegs when webrips are on popular torrent sites?

On the other hand, customers can become frustrated at being unable to trade when they need during an outage to and go to a competitor.

Thing is, it already was getting that adoption, and network effect can largely take care of the rest. Also, some it’s tied to a real phone number, geographic price differentiation is trivial to implement.

And now it’s flagged. This is why we can’t have anything fun. Hacker News doesn’t do humor. I could go on for a while about how brilliant the satire and self deprecating humor on Anthropic’s part is in this piece. But all people seem to s

> it is poorly done at best. And that’s the point. It’s satire. He’s saying, “Use silly toys to make bad art, and while you’re at it claim it leads to enlightenment, like the vibe coding evangelists say it does.”

Because it’s a joke. It’s satire, and it hits the nail on the head of so-called vibe coding enlightenment.

I spent a good 5 minutes trying to figure out if this was _actually_ THE Rick Ruben, and then another 5 wondering why the f he was writing about vibe coding. For those who don't know, Rick Ruben is one of the most influential record pr

Thank you! The link is amazing. I figured it was something like this. I went to go demo it specifically because I had a fantasy of using Apple Vision Pro as a monitor replacement. The demo quickly changed my mind and got me to consider all

One aspect of computer screen eye strain is the extra-ocular muscles not exploring using their full range on motion and instead being focused on the center of their field of vision non-stop. I went for a demo of the Apple Vision Pro hoping

This advice is unhelpful. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Cell phones are a useful tool for coordinating and communicating.

I really, really, want to go into a bunch of detail on exactly why this calculation is so incredibly naive. More as a personal thought exercise than for internet fame (since this will be buried under a buried comment). Maybe I'll find

Yeah I was really perplexed by that line. I had to stop and scratch my head. Maybe they mean, "brighter than daylight ambient light levels indoors"?

I've been getting the itch to go deeper into KSP after a scratching the surface of the first one (simple landing on Mun). I was considering buying 2. What's your review against playing KSP 2?

I wasn't aware of Intel's practice of using their home state's natural places for code names. I shouldn't be surprised that Apple wasn't first the that game.

18-wheelers already pay taxes very differently than consumer cars. I don't know how much higher they actually are. Maybe someone with knowledge can weigh in here.

IMHO it's to add clarity. The white space gives extra separation to statements. It's how I write most of my communication, like statements are lines of code.

Especially since Debian has a testing release, which is a rolling release. Maybe this distro is based on Debian testing, but has some of the Ubuntu defaults?

This is victim blaming, plain and simple. Why are people ever forced to be close to high speed traffic? The likelihood of dying goes up very quickly as vehicle speed goes up. It is possible to design livable cities where screwing up doesn’t

I would find the deaths per miles walked to be even more interesting. We drive a lot so that number would be low, but if we’re dying quite a lot for how little we walk, that would be extremely telling of how bad the problem is.

One thing I've been noticing more and more since Not Just Bikes pointed it out is the shape of truck hoods. I've gone over the hood of a Honda Odyssey minivan. It wasn't fun, but I walked away because I rolled over the sloped

I don't understand this post. What point is the headline making?

> digging music through forces coming out of your own soul Agree. Art is art, and why do we make art? Well...? Technical skill helps with the nuance of the creation, but not with the "why."

I agree. I really don't understand obsessing about thinness. Being a few millimeters thinner doesn't actually help it fit into a small backpack any better.

I think it's quite a bit more descriptive and objective than "considered harmful."

I was thinking the same thing about the state that I grew up in. It has a fairly low rate. I once lived in one of the most obese cities in the country. When this made the news on reddit, commenters looked at the google street view and noted

It can often depend on the purpose you're writing for. Do you want to be bland, professional, and as inoffensive as possible? Great. In contrast, I think the highlighted excerpt really summed up the article well. > Good writing—vivi
