Curious about your setup. Which nVidia box do you have? It’s been a while since I touched Kodi. Last time I played with it, I found that the addon ecosystem was hit and miss. Any suggestions there?

I’m intrigued. Would you mind sharing a TL;DR?

HCF was a great show, and one of the only shows that goes as far back as the BBS days before the Web “caught on”. The cast is pretty good. Highly recommend watching.

I'm curious about HN banking specialist opinions on this one. There isn't much information on this situation beyond the standard doom-and-gloom headlines. From my limited understanding of the situation, this is mainly driven by TD

I enjoyed attending ALA events in the past. I met a few interesting folks and always learned something at each event. It’s sad to see it come to a close but all things have their cycles, and I suppose ALA events are no different. PS. Over t

It’s curious to see this topic on HN as I just came across an article about the impeding energy crisis in Ontario that sheds light on how the province is leveraging underground compressed air storage[1] as a tactic in their energy storage m

The content is great, but am I the only one that’s annoyed by those gnarly red image overlays on the mobile website breakpoint that (accidentally) activate as you scroll down?

I know this is a slight tangent but I can personally vouch for the effectiveness of (certain) nootropics. If stacked correctly, the cognitive benefits are great.

I came across Fireship on YouTube about a year ago. In my opinion, he is by far one of the better dev-centric YouTubers out there. Unlike the typical dev screencasts that are dry and boring, his videos are entertaining, informative, and suc

That's a clever hack, which I wish I had known about.. and I love the unintended consequence of "BBS Roulette"

Amazing :D - it's quite similar to my experience. I think many folks naturally ended up moving to Turbo Pascal after Basic. I believe many of the BBS systems were initially written in Turbo Pascal (v4?). I know for a fact that WWIV, Te

An extender is designed to be used for making phone calls without directly billing the caller. Most mid-size and large companies that operated from multiple cities/countries used them. Extenders connect to a PBX that is normally expose

LOL! Same here. The initial version of my home brewed BBS was written in QB 4.5 (I believe), which I later ported to GW-BASIC because it allowed me to compile the BAS file to EXE (binary). Those were formative years for me that solidified m

It’s amazing to see that many of us on this thread share the same experience and passion for BBSs! I was a 13-year-old SysOp myself, running a heavily modified instance of WWIV (later transitioned to Renegade) on two dedicated lines that we

Things like velocity, direction, spin, etc. of a particle are all properties that have probabilities. We can only guess as to the properties of anything prior to measurement. Particles can become entangled with each other, which suggests th

Precisely. Wix, Squarespace, and Shopify are Tier 3 CMSs at best. Drupal, (managed) WordPress, Joomla, Cake, Webflow etc. are Tier2. AEM, Sitecore, BloomReach, Contentful, Contentstack, etc. are Tier 1 The CMS ecosystem is further segmented

While I appreciate the foreseeable improvements in the native (Apple) weather app, I will sorely miss the no-nonsense UI of DarkSky. It has been my go-to for years now, especially as it relates to my photography hobby. I sure hope someone s

I generally agree with this takeaway. The same can be said for all (big 5) management consultancies. On a related but unrelated note, the structured McKinsey methods of thinking and analysis have been my go-to for decades now. Notable frame

This is an interesting move by Adobe, which appears like the first step towards reasserting themselves in a hot WYSISWG CMS authoring market that’s currently dominated by folks like Webflow. What makes it even more interesting is that their

Thanks for sharing this. The post turned me onto the “Four Thousand Weeks: Time and How to Use It” by Oliver Burkeman, which was quite a sobering eye-opener. For those interested, I found a great summary[1] by Matt Swain of the material cov
