Why would it be in the tech category? Nature, ecology, sure. Tech? Only if indeed it’s more about sensationalizing a buzzy tech company would a story about cats and owls be in a tech category.

I’m a non-tech savvy person who happens to work in tech. I find the touch bar very useful. This is what I believe: the touchbar is for people like me... people who never learned to use the F keys, people who aren’t obsessive about shortcuts

It’s most useful to think of all inputs (food, air, smells, visual and auditory information) the same way we think about food: they require digestion, they have a very practical impact, and the experience of consuming it is as or more impor

This getting upvoted and rising toward the top of HN reminds me of Hesse writing about academic/intellectual elites and winning the Nobel prize for it. Magister Ludi wasn’t his best novel, but it was the one that felt most self-gratify
