ty for maintaining kcc, I’ve used it heavily for close to a decade. I definitely noticed the performance boost on my macbook :)

it’s all part of the experience lol. I’d imagine I’d stop finding these quirks amusing pretty quickly if I actually lived there and got over the honeymoon phase. Also the self affirmation messages they play on the buses were kinda surreal t

I just moved to Seattle after being in New Orleans for about a month and I already miss nola. There’s really nothing else like it in America. I’m especially missing the cheap public transit and good dive bars, Seattle is lacking with both o

I’d imagine mostly due to a lack of incentive on microsoft’s part. Like minecraft is literally the biggest video game to ever exist with, making 2 entirely separate code bases work while keeping all the features the same and preserving comp

There was a pretty great article a few years ago about the downfall of 23andMe (I think it was in The Atlantic), but basically they ran through all of their potential customers within a few years. It turns out that when your entire business

I used to hold the same opinion as you, but since getting a m2 air I’ve really enjoyed how thin and light it is. It really is a noticeable quality of life improvement. Once you have a decent stockpile of usb c cables the port thing isn’t re

Thank you for sharing this short story. I read it with my coffee and really enjoyed it, turns out existential dread goes well with the first hit of caffeine of the day. You made my morning :)

My experience with a prius in the north east was that it wasn't particularly bad in ice and snow and the few times I got caught in snowstorms it handled about as well as any front wheel drive car. I certainly wouldn't go out into

It's kind of funny how far back this whinging about kids not being able to use computers goes, especially how condescending this blog is. Most people will only learn as much about computers to do their work and nothing more, because is

The main argument against capital punishment isn't even that mistakes are made. Capital punishment is more expensive and less effective as a deterrent for crime compared to life imprisonment. The argument for MAID is more about termina

It does show how out of touch tech workers are that they are shocked someone is able to live off 1k a month. It sometimes feels like hn posters were born on college campuses and shielded from normal society until their twenties, after which

Making using a car more expensive doesn't disincentivize car ownership or usage when there is no other alternative. Like you can't rely on public transportation, biking, or ride shares to get to your job in most parts of this coun

This is cool and the formatting is spot on with real nutrition labels. It’s doesn’t scan all that well though, it’s not immediately apparent that this is a listing of tracks and not albums or artists. Replacing m with mins would really help

The difference is showing my id to a minimum wage liquor store worker for a few seconds vs giving my id to a company and trusting them to store it indefinatly and tying my internet presence to my actual identify all for a law that would be

Thats definitely what's happening, at least with music. When radio was dominant, the "hot 100" lists were pretty diverse because everyone was exposed to the same set of ~70-150 hit songs every year, that were curated by recor

At the very least, you get acclimated to the smell of cannabis much quicker then the smell of cigarettes at least in my experience. It's also becoming increasingly common to vape cannabis in America, which only has a residual smell in

I think this is an out of touch perspective. Big industry music has never been more irrelevant since radio stopped being the main way people discovered new bands. I notice that with my peers (early 20's), I listen to at most 20% of the

The most practical/cheap option would probably be an old phone with parental locks and access to a streaming service. It'd be much more functional and cheaper than any dedicated screenless device, and it gives a kid much more auto

As other commenters have already said, Discord has more or less replaced the traditional forum. I'd argue that this push towards small Discord communities has been happening for years now, since places like reddit, twitter, or even ins

scales are wonderful for measuring oil/liquid though. Putting a bowl on a scale and pouring 54 grams of olive oil is so much easier and accurate then measuring out 3 table spoons of oil

At least hacker new is pretty good, I can't think of any other forum of this scale that isn't a toxic shithole.

Very nice site, it looks and functions great. However, autocorrect still works for me on MacOS, unlike other typing practice sites. Maybe not that important, but it does somewhat diminish the typing practice you can get :)

What are these obvious scientific facts? Being honest I've only ever heard people complain about not being able to say "obvious scientific facts" in reference to specific beliefs about transgender or gay people.
