I was about to post a similar Ask HN myself earlier today but got sidetracked. Thanks for putting this up, I'd like to know too!

Hey buddy, first off, know that you're not alone and we've all been there at some point. You're going to get through this one way or another! Two key little insights that have helped me through many a tough time in life and m

I’d think b is exactly the opposite. More b is less productivity from my experience, 100% of the time.

Yep. Just another example of why we should never trust google.

You might be able to remove some of the junk results with the minus sign before the keyword in your search query. Used to work back in the day. Something like species of worm that never dies -bible -mark -jesus -christianity

If Putin were to use a nuclear weapon here, wouldn’t that effectively FORCE the US to do the same? Because if we don’t, what’s to stop him from using the next one, and the next, and the one after that? Surely Big Bad Vlad is aware of this -

Yeah I should have thought that through a bit more before posting it. > Maybe it would work if it was based on the production volume and product category, not the size of the company. Not sure how the IP thing would work, but making it p

Eh, there's probably ways to mitigate that from a legislative point of view. The point of this was to make the act of shutting products down all willy-nilly like this less attractive, and if they keep doing it at least the world at lar

True; I was forgetting that you can save before triggering the endings. You don't have to replay from square one all the way through. Still, the harder ending (I think they called it the "fear the reaper" one?) was the best I

When you looked at it, what was it that tipped you off to its eventual failure? Was it a flaw in the technical design or something? How did you know it would eventually fail? (Looking to learn how to spot things like that, here!)

You know, this gave me an idea: I'd love to see legislation that states that when a company the size of Google, Microsoft, etc. launches a product like this, then kills it off, that they MUST open source the proprietary parts inside of

I wonder if this will turn out to be something of an antipattern (for lack of a better term). The set of vocabulary in a given language is fairly limited by the human mind, enough such that it's relatively uniform enough that subtle al

Nix? Are you talking about the package manager from NixOS? I didn’t know that was MacOS-friendly these days, neat! Can you link us to any good articles discussing differences between it and Homebrew? Also, what is/are Flakes?

Definitely not the most graphics-intensive game by a long shot, but I recently discovered "Octopath Traveler" on Steam. It's kinda like those old-school JRPGs from the Super Nintendo days, but with some interesting improvemen

10 thumbs up for Elden Ring! ... don't ask me how I have 10 thumbs. It's embarrassing.

I'd add that AoE 4 is also pretty fantastic. I love the fact that the campaign starts out with the battle of Hastings, and after each victory they give you the option to watch a history documentary video they produced just for the game

Not sure if it's quite what you're after, or if it's as good as it used to be, but php.net's documentation was PHENOMENAL back in the day when I was just getting started (~20 years ago). Worst: My god, look at Apple. Whe

I’m not in agreement with this idea, but i wonder if these companies could legally be considered a participant and therefore the one party consenting…

What the hell does "edge" even mean here? Edge of what?

Wow. And you know they're probably going to charge something like a $1000 bucks a pill for that too ;-)

So it's Wellbutrin and cough syrup, seriously? Could this be as simple as getting a Wellbutrin RX and taking it with cough suppressant? Surely...surely not?
