What blew my mind recently was that I could store an APFS sparsebundle on a NAS drive, then mount it over NFS and use it as a plain old APFS volume. Despite the filesystem layering, it works pretty much like a local volume, albeit with a bi

From the outside, at least, pro-natalism feels a bit too cuddly with white supremacy and replacement theory dogma. (I wish it were not so.)

This shouldn't be flagged, it's literally HN CEO Garry Tan's favorite social media turn of phrase these days. Aren't we supposed to be following in the footsteps of our glorious thought leaders?

Having worked in corporate, the very last thing I want to be doing is reviewing code that no one actually understands. If a PR contributor uses AI, they need to be able to intelligently discuss and justify every line of code. Otherwise, I&

Not OP, but I view LLMs in the same broad category as Electron: a cost-cutting measure (based on genuinely cool technology) that leads directly to enshittification, unless very carefully cultivated. An expert may use them to accelerate thei

Gross. With users like this, I've been making good use of the "Comments Owl for Hacker News" browser plugin: add an emoji tag to the user for visibility, then insta-flag their posts whenever I see them. (There are probably be

Metafilter. Many users here would probably not vibe with that community, since it tends to be very liberal and people will call you out for your bullshit. However, quality of discussion tends to be quite high. (Or was when I was last acti

Oh, that must be nice. And what should I do as a blogger to get the same privilege for my content? We are in an age of corporate “piracy for me, but not for thee.”

On the subject of Yarvin, I really appreciate FrankWilhoit's take[1]: > Yarvin is only another horribly damaged person, squealing in pain in a pseudointellectual vocabulary. He has neither knowledge nor insight, but a gift for mimi

At least one of the students illegally detained did nothing more than write a few columns in her school newspaper. (And I think it's similar for several others, but I don't recall off the top of my head.)

I’m also from Russia, and it’s very clear to me that we’re heading straight in that direction. See the executive’s revenge policies against Harvard and Columbia, law firms, media networks, and student activists. If things keep going as they

These parties are not far right for favoring cuts to immigration. They’re far right for harping on about native whites getting replaced and referring to migrants like they’re some sort of infestation. > In a widely seen video on Twitter

You mean the “far left” Labour politicians trying their best to cosplay Tories? Meanwhile, Reform — a populist far-right party — is clobbering everyone in the polls.

I am also from Russia. Since this apparently gives me authority to speak on these matters, I can confidently say that what’s happening in the US today looks remarkably like Putin’s consolidation of power. How long until Congress is nothing

They do have agency. But they choose rage instead. They need to get off the manosohere and actually engage with women like fellow human beings, not prize catches in a mating game.

I would expect the typical American right-winger to be outright allergic to open source “communism.” (Unless they can profit off of it, of course.)
