I possess an eighth sense which allows me to determine whether or not I have received an email by looking at my phone and seeing the notification for such. I don't even need to open the email app and I can sense that one has arrived.

I absolutely love the aesthetic of a repo having a giant README.md

But how else will I signal my superiority over others if I use clear language???

unrelated, i'm trying to figure out where the phrase "back of the cigarette packet math" is more common than saying "back of the napkin math".

Is there a way to search for lawsuits from shareholders when the price per share of going private was less than 30%? There's probably no mathematical model here but more a way for the sale to insulate itself from getting dragged into

There's a really interesting boardgame based on the cake-cutting problem https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/173648/booty . You play many rounds of trying to fairly divvy up piles of loot. Different pieces co

As a Firefox user, no, I cannot. I can only screenshot youtube and amazon prime video.

It sounds great in theory, but the reality is that many car owners obscure their license plates or use ghost plates. NYPD has no interest in enforcing the rules against this either.

Can you call it value when it's fundamentally rent-seeking? This wasn't value created, it was value extracted.

I like SQL and all but I really don't care to follow ISO releases. They're hundreds of dollars and nobody actually implements the whole thing. I get way more excited about database releases. Does anyone else find value in what&#x

I'm a huge fan of awk but the "Python vs awk" page this links to [1] shows python code that's almost deliberately atrocious. Take this function the author wrote for converting a list of integers (or strings) into floats

I get it, makes sense to want prevent grief by avoiding connection and love. And if you're meeting your needs in life, that's fine and all. But it's because of love that grief has meaning.

the unfortunate thing about this is you lose the three suggested words at the top of the keyboard if you want to get rid of the rewrite feature. the suggested words are sometimes not correct, but jesus ducking christ just let me opt in if i

i can’t for the life of me reason why the changes to auto correct were ever seen as useful. that it changes a word you’ve typed two words ago (so it’s outside of your attention by the time you’re focused on getting the most recent word corr

You can have both, and they can create a feedback loop that guarantees someone will never be able to get out. A more general example of this is scarcity mindset where the condition of not having enough of something causes someone to be poor

What malicious activity in these repos have you come across? Do you know when you've missed something?

The thing I hate about this is it continues to belittle the severity of climate change as something that future society will fix for us.

Its weird how I saw this headline, thought to myself "Oh good! It's back!" before realizing that I was using HN to see this very headline...

After-all, we tricked sand into thinking for us so it makes sense that certain applications could run on other mediums.

For me the issue was less about the bugs in pipenv, and more about how Kenneth Reitz leveraged his commit rights to other projects' documentation to update them to claim that they all recommended pipenv when pipenv was in its infancy.

You are correct, ereaders have supported viewing the web for years, but it has been a miserable experience since the beginning. * Inline links everywhere tempting you to click away to a new page, both fracturing your attention as well

The problem I've noticed is you can't get enough people to respect the minimalism. Yes you could implement Gemini in HTTP by having everyone play by the rules, but how many of the links even on HN go to pages with ads, autoplay vi
