   Is this an experiment? Is my mind broken? If 1) cool, if 2) I probably need help. @dang wtf is going on in here!?

   The more I read, the more confused I get. Either I live in some bubble, or I truly don't understand the world. It's a Linux distro based on Fedora, for gamers or smth - did all Linux gamers gather on HN today!? I'm not into g

   The comments here are hilarious. Something to go with my morning coffee. We live in the universe where you cannot distinguish between a human or an AI.

   This looks like babysitting a kid. If that's how CHAT/"vibe coding" looks like - no thank you. I would be frustrated all the time.

   I use Noir extension on my iphone/ipad, does it automatically when iOS/iPadOS goes into night/dark mode (which is also geo-based). Works great on OLED screens!

   Is there a joke I'm not getting? Or is there some paper that I can read and understand this? Reading the README and related link [0] I have no idea if this is some serious math concept that I never considered, or is it some sarcastic m

   If the author agrees, I could try to learn Serbo-Croatian (I'm Polish, good with languages) and translate it to English. I'm kinda a burnout Linux geek, who cannot look at computers much more. Translating a book would be fun, but

   I used to work as a "Kernel/Hypervisor Engineer" at that big company that sells books. People from outside the tech always thought I'm some kind of supervisor's supervisor ;)

    I work as a software engineer and a manager in a medical devices company, but also as a hobby, whenever I'm at the doctors, I always ask them to show me the systems they're using. A few observations: * software for medical devices

    " Works on All Devices" statement doesn't seem to be true - I cannot press "space key" on my iPad (Safari).

    I don't find it rude or pretentious. Sometimes it's really hard to express yourself in hmm acceptable neutral way when you worked on truly cool stuff. It may look like bragging, but that's probably not the intention. I often

    It’s super complicated and anecdotal topic. I have phases: a) “good phase” - I can compete in ultramarathons, I can run 100km a week, I can lift some insane weighs, b) I cannot. Temporary burnout. No physical activity, gain like 10kg. Then

    I live in a small Swiss village. We have two churches, they ring their bells every hour (number of dong-sounds is equal to the hour). But, they're slightly out of phase, so you can hear two separate churches' bells. And one of the

    These pictures are great - maybe it's time for me to get a new desktop background. Kinda related: some years ago NASA published all the Apollo missions pictures. I downloaded all of them (hundreds, maybe bit more), acting as a photo ed

    I moved some years ago from Dresden, Saxony, Germany to Rheintal, Switzerland - looking for some bigger mountains. In Dresden-area there was a nice 4-people day ticket for the whole area - <20EUR for 4 people total. Switzerland? Every gu

    This brings back memories. Szymon is/was also active in minimal/experimental music scene [0] back in the days. I think in my hometown (Poznan, Poland) back those 10-15 years ago, there was some self-made small art-hacker community

    Years ago, after months of pushback from Apple Authorised Service Provider I decided to write an email to Tim Cook... Got a phone call soon after straight from HQ and my issue was resolved - it's sometimes worth to escalate high up if

    I vaguely remember playing with some physical keylogger (ps/2?) back in early 2000s that had similar feature - to configure it you enter some magic key sequence then it „typed” the menu and you execute some configuration commands via t

    I can imagine following should be doable (with assumption that IMX477 has it's own buffer and doesn't DMA directly): 1) take a picture 2) read some lines 3) stream them via WiFi to some server 4) repeat 2-3 until whole picture is

    I would recommend some older B&W (Bowers & Wilkins) from 6xx or DM6xx series. You can find them cheap on eBay etc, I use those since 15 years and cannot complain.

    I'm hearing they do a pilot in South America and they release millions of mosquitoes with Wolbachia bacteria, it should reduce Denga and Malaria infections as a result, as these mosquitoes no longer carry these viruses.
