   I agree the design choices are unfortunate, but (all?) common browsers have a readability mode like a single click away.

   Somewhat related question: I have a (obscure) domain that I'm planning to let expire soon. Is there anything I could / should do to stop it being used for questionable purposes?

   Maybe things are different where you live, but it seems like the opposite is happening here (the UK). The State Pension (UBI for old people) is getting further restricted. At least anecdotally, it seems like it's getting harder to clai

   I think he's kind of wrong. As you say, anything going through any kind of professional audio editing software is probably 32/64 bit float. AFAIK all audio plugin standards work on 32/64 bit floats. Although I imagine at leas

   If it's public facing, I would think content moderation and copyright enforcement would be the bigger challenge.

   Hopefully people will tell me why I'm wrong, but right now programming is just feeling like a bit of a dead end in general? The demand seems to be for AWS gurus, data analysts, low-code, prompt engineering etc. I'm not against le

   Looks great, and only £2.75! I think I somehow missed this one at the time.

    Shout out to the ZX Spectrum manual, which also included a list of Z80 opcodes. https://worldofspectrum.org/ZXBasicManual/zxmanappa.html For me, programming mostly involved typing in decimal opcodes using that as a ref

    For a bit of context, "Nearly one in 10 English councils expect to go bust in next year"[0]. Which means they're forced to make brutal cuts across all services. It's not necessarily that they don't like librarians

    Since there are "ETL" people here, I have a couple of naive questions, in case anybody can answer: 1) Are there any"standard"-ish (or popular-ish) file formats for node-based / low-code pipelines? 2) Is there any su

    Going by the article, I guess that would be because the applicants don't have the skills that are in demand. The top one being "Business AI skills (i.e. prompt engineers, low/no code developers, business analysts)". Much

    I might be dumb here, but I don't understand the chart of "most important IT skills". What are the percentages of? Why do they add up to much more than 100%?

    I thought the "lifestyle business" negativity was chiefly around trendy businesses that are only viable due to being covertly subsidized, eg. by family money.

    The article appears on "A feminist space for women and gender minorities across the Mormon spectrum". In which context, mentioning the Mormon factor would seem redundant. In the context of HN, it would be a more useful piece of in

    Surely what really puts a different spin on it is that the purpose of these takes was apparently to demonstrate to the insurance company that Welles was unable to work. In that context, he put on a great (albeit method-enhanced) performance

    In terms of the image, I think a big advantage Arri cameras have is a patent on simultaneous dual gain sensors. Perhaps somebody will tell me I've misunderstood that though. Aside from that, I think a lot of what you pay for is reliabi

    No OFX plugins. And time I used the compositor, comparatively abysmal performance. Although there's a new, accelerated viewport compositor thing since then, not sure if the regular compositor's also faster.

    I loved Cosmos Laundromat, personally. Even though it didn't end up being the full feature it was supposed to. Some of the others were pretty decent, but that was the standout for me.
