When did HN get like this? You disagree with his beliefs, fine. But at least respect him in the same way he has you.

Many people forget this. It’s unfortunate. I’m not teacher, but my interpretation of Buddhism isn’t to not say “damn!” When you stub your toe. But rather to question why you said “damn!” When you stubbed your toe.

This too is one of my favorite songs, but in a slightly different style: https://youtu.be/rbt78buj80Q

I feel like there has to be other under explored methods of treating ADHD aside from medication. I’ve yet to find any for myself, but am also incredibly hesitant to medicate my symptoms away. I’ve tried stimulants in the past and was left f

Not to invalidate the conversation here, but it just occurred to me that reading through a conversation about doom scrolling is in a sense itself doom scrolling.

Sea of Thieves is fun. It required a pretty big time commitment, so I only play a few days a week (mostly weekends). The developers do a decent job masking the MVP-ness of the game with mystique and lore. There are certainly improvements th

Lol this is great. Got an audible chuckle out of me.

You’re in for an uphill battle my friend. The biggest obstacle will be converting her word/excel workflows to a OpenOffice write/calc (or other open source alternative). Unless of course she is using the web version of M$ Office.

I listened to that playlist as well and it is nearly the same song with slight variations. Imagine finding dozens of threads where comments are all the same, but with very small changes of phrasing used in each comment.

Very true. I’m both left handed and work in a data oriented position. I use the numpad to enter numeric values quickly during the day, and when I find myself playing games, use the numpad, home/delete to page up/down, and sometime

I’ve often wondered if this has an effect on wildlife. If we perceive the front end of a truck as “meaner”, does that apply to deer as well? Curious if there is any data on the likelihood of hitting a deer with a truck vs a sedan. I assume

I used to produce and record music and used a website called imeem to host my works. At some point it was bought out by MySpace and all non-licensed music was removed (granted there was a ton of stuff uploaded by individuals who did not own

The community guidelines are a pretty good start. If I were to take a guess, your comment came off as more of a complaint than constructive feedback. Your point may have been valid, but the delivery was just “off”.

This is pretty accurate. As a parent, offsetting your kids use or involvement with a particular activity tends to only work if you provide them with an equally interesting alternative. Simply telling your kid to limit their use of a device

Two options that I’ve come across are codemonkey and mit’s scratch. They don’t go too far into the complexities of coding but do appear to bring things down to a level practical for young children.

I think your comment is valid. I have thought about this too, and I think the reasoning is as follows. Teaching kids to code empowers them to think differently about the world. Rather than navigating this technological this world as an end

Some schools are using the acronym of STEAM rather than STEM. The A being Arts.

Can you provide some resources? I’m genuinely interested and search results are unyielding.

I like to tell people that reggae artists (more specifically dub artists) created electronic music. I don’t know if it’s entirely true, but there is some evidence to suggest this.

Hey, that’s very interesting. I’ve considered something like this for my own personal needs a few years ago, but there weren’t a ton of options. Thank you for sharing this!

It’s a bit of a wacky idea, but there are a bunch of outdoors clubs that have sub-par technology solutions. As these groups are small, usually minimal hardware and a FOSS tool or two is all they really need. Meaning their actual cost is pro

I wasn’t staking a claim here or there. I was more referring to epolanski‘s statement that the post was not intended as a learning experience.

More-so thinking of the ease of use rather than privacy, but that does play a role here. Specifically the ability to switch between devices or browsers, or maybe use this on ORG managed devices that don’t allow installing additional softwar

Darn. I switched to channels 3 and 4 and I still can’t play my NES. Did someone touch the VCR again!?!?

This is a very cool idea that I think will fill a huge gap out there. Speaking for myself, i find myself unfairly avoiding many news sources to avoid being overly exposed to negativity. I can imagine many people hold this sentiment (to some

I think there’s something to be said about this sort of approach on communication and the site guidelines, but I’m sure someone else would word it better than I.

Bummer, I guess I need someone to vouch for me/my comment in order to reach Ask HN:
