That was my first thought, too. Never ever looked a burger from any of the well-known chains the way it looks on photos.

Yeah, it is - unfortunately, it is rather cloudy in my area at the moment. Luckily, the weather was better during the 19./20. January event, which I'll carry forever in my heart.

> If this is the case, it's just a matter of time until costs can be reduced. Is it, though? We cannot predict technological advancement, and the times of ̶M̶u̶r̶p̶h̶y̶'̶s̶ ̶L̶a̶w̶ Moore's Law* for computational power are

I would assume that the economic reasoning, if looked at it without dollar bills covering their eyes, would apply to AI in general the way we are using it.

I went down this rabbit hole, and am now the proud owner of a PS2 (Slim), a PS2 (Fat), a PS3 (Fat), a PS4 Pro and a PS5. I also own a Nintendo Switch and a Gaming PC. After installing a custom firmware on the PS3, I am now able to play my P

I wonder if going for keyboard switches with RGB could bring the price down, if you then either print the keycaps yourself, our use a 3d printing service. 23 Cherry MX switches cost 20€, that‘s roughly 260€ for a 17x17 matrix.

If the current trend continues, there won’t be much left to reverse engineer, as your appliances will use the internet for computation, as RAM and processing power are consumed by AI data centers, so…

I can see both having a place: vi/vim for more elaborate features and editing capabilities, and nano for the quick "I need to change that one little thing in my config file" fix. I prefer nano over vi every time, but I barely

I'm not sure how you'd patch that. Any request that’s made from the current open tab / window is made on behalf of the user. From my point of view, it's impossible for the browser to know, if the request is legit or not.

It's an interesting train of thoughts. Investigators would need to connect the dots. If they weren't able to connect them, it would look like a normal accident, which happens all day. So why would an agent call gigworker1 to that

Top 1.55% with ~36000 words. I can be quite chatty in my comments, it seems.

It's wild to remember that I basically grew up with this type of software. I was there, when the MDI/SDI (Multi-Document Interface / Single-Document Interface) discussion was ongoing, and how much backlash the "Ribbon&qu

Basically the very first part from your list: Remembering context. Working with people means that a lot of what I'm observing or what is happening will happen at a later stage. It tremendously helps to go back a few months and dig up m

There will always be this back-and-forth discussion of planning vs not-planning. The agile idea in itself is quite simple: Inspect and Adapt. My firm belief is that everything else needs to be build around that.

There was a post "recently" on HN, which made me re-think my habit of collecting and sorting. I now have a Kanban-Board for ToDos (which I check daily), and a Journal file where I note down stuff from the day. The file keeps filli

"Failing while doing the thing is doing the thing." I needed this today. Currently questioning my career choices, as I hit my first wall where people are involved. Gave me quite the headache.

You know, back in the days, the web used to be more open. Also - just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you HAVE to.

One caveat is, that these events cannot be forecasted in the same way as weather on earth can. You usually only have a lead time of 15 - 45 minutes. See also https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/content/aurora-tutorial
