MyProtein manufactures raw protein powders without artificial flavours: soya, pea and hemp. That way you can add your own preferred/safer sweetener to the shake, or just drink them quickly raw (you can gulp down 30g of protein in under

Just drink protein shakes? There are soy protein ones that are completely inoffensive and pea protein which isn’t tasty but much cheaper. Do professional athletes actually eat only meat to meet their protein requirements? Because even if yo

I don’t really get the Pinterest hate, but from what I understand it’s because their walled garden content came up in web search results. Anyway I’ve been using their app for over a decade. It’s the best place on the internet to explore vis

There’s Chinese analytical labs which identify the fragrance molecules in a perfume. You just have to send them a sample. The caveat is if the perfume used natural oils or captive materials; then the lab won’t be able to identify everything

It’s so strange to me that I’m now using Google maybe a couple times a month (and then only through a proxy like Mullvad’s leta). This would have been inconceivable 15, even 10 years ago. I don’t want to get too philosophical, but wow, how

That doesn’t mean DDG is anything special, only that Google has become incredibly bad.

I’d call this performative news consumption. Information overload is mainly a result of legitimate complexities in the world. It took only a little while to find in today’s item about Hamas a timeline describing October 7th as “the beginni

Except Apple has a country’s worth of users, whose livelihoods are reliant on them. The “state democracy” is right now more subordinated to tech oligarchies, than vice versa.

Vim existed before Jetbrains IDEs. It’s also much more general. I use Vim to write literary works and manage my knowledge base. There was also a guy who was using Vim as his IRC client. Vim can be the only program you need for editing text,

Exactly, and there’s no wording I can imagine coming from the manager who requested this, which wouldn’t make it sound like the plain abuse that it is. But the guys who obeyed the manager and implemented it didn’t care. The mentality of par

They literally pay engineers to come up with crazy grey hat techniques to monitor people’s online activity. And those scumbags are probably HN users. It’s sinister. I wonder about the wording used by the manager behind it. It probably sound

Simply put, if we’re living during such a major technological revolution, why does using software suck in such disastrous ways that were unthinkable even ten years ago?

by xk_id 1y ago
It actually varies by segment. The least technical people are enthusiastic about AI. The moderately technical (e.g tech hobbyists, artists and power users) are repulsed. The segment of tech professionals are themselves divided, but I think

My guess is it’s probably due to AI assistants/vibe coding.

Would you say this comment needed major changes, in order for a MAGA supporter to feel that it is applicable against his own political adversaries?

The elephant in the room is actually one American company having unencrypted access to global internet traffic.

I think it’s extremely naive to think Cloudflare is anti-government. It’s more likely that they’re a US Intelligence company, whose purpose is to decrypt and monitor global internet traffic.

Sir if you could finally add keyword filters, I wouldn’t spend half a second considering an alternative. I sorely missed this the past years while HN has been spammed with AI marketing.
