I turned off presence in early 2020 and I've never looked back. Far fewer people ping me about things I don't care about now. I think expecting to get a reply instantly is a big part of why people bother you on Slack. Having to wa

I found it difficult to get into Inscryption. I loved Slay the Spire (450 hours played and counting), especially Spire With Friends. Inscryption never grabbed me. Maybe I need to give it another go.

I'd be interested to find out. Despite your scepticism, there are a few things that gave this one away. Repeating the subject noun rather than changing to "it" after the first use is the biggest one in this example. It sounds

What? I'm not making any comparison I think? The person I replied to said (paraphrasing) "Why aren't cars going away? If they aren't, why can't you make the same arguments about coal power plants". I'm say

Why won't fusion still be a worthwhile goal even if we do have abundant solar/wind? Abundant and cheap are relative terms. Solar and wind could be abundant in a "powers everything we have now and for the foreseeable future of

It's a monologue from The Office which uses similarly extremely short sentence structure as seen in the GGP comment. It's also possible GP is referencing GGPs arguably paranoid position on phones, relating it to similar paranoias

It depends how you do your laundry I guess. I have a washer-dryer combo (and enough solar power to not worry too much about the environmental impact of using it). My wash involves chucking everything in the machine at the end of the week, w

While I'm on the fence, and don't disagree with the point, this is an awful example to use. The whole comment is written in a very noticeable Chat GPT "voice", making it very easy to tell it was generated by Chat GPT. It

Maybe in your browser you have that option. Not for me.

It doesn't need to be, but it certainly undercuts the message a bit if it's not.

Maybe it's just me, but needing to press "back" twenty or so times to get back to HN after viewing some of this presentation really made me question the author's authority when it comes to "how the web should work&q

It seems to me that someone could just as reasonably (that is to say, not at all reasonably) argue: > I don't like hunting for information when I'm shopping online, and would rather get a personal recommendation from a staff me

On the topic of Roblox, it sounds pretty awful generally. Microtransactions don't (IMHO) have any place in a game for young kids. In a previous job I dealt with a police request for information after a pre-teenager child sent an email

How do they differentiate prepaid and postpaid phone numbers? Is there some way they can check with the provider for a given number? Seems less than ideal from a privacy perspective.

It's surprising to me to hear that LoL actually does something about chat moderation. I play DotA, which seemingly does nothing (at at least, very little). I eventually decided to just disable text and voice chat entirely rather than p

> What was the "inhumane" manner? You should probably ask this of the original commenter. I've not made any claims one way or the other about whether anything inhumane happened.

GP didn't say "layoffs are inhumane", but that the manner in which people have been fired is inhumane.

"Wash off any excess lions" without even mentioning to check for alkali metals first. You're going to kill some poor soul trying to clean all the baked-in francium and lions off their crockery. Shame on you.

I don't know about the health side, but growing up on South Australian rain and tap water, I think the Sydney tap water tastes absolutely foul by comparison.

I'm not suggesting giving app developers greater control, but users. I agree that letting app developers demand whatever permissions they want will lead to stopwatch apps which always require precise location. If I want the option to s

Did you mean to reply to someone else perhaps? The comment you replied to was a one line joke about being bad at regex. I didn't directly or implicitly make any claim about the quality of the output of the chatbot. It's unclear to

If it only required one round of correction, it's already better at regex than I am.

Sure, and I suspect in the case of WFH that is what some of those people really meant. I'm not sure I'd agree on the reasonableness point. It's definitely a reasonable preference to have (although this is true of all preferen

Is that a challenge? I'm sure I have a couple of vice grips around here somewhere. I wonder how far an iPhone will fold before Apple Pay stops working. Surely some YouTuber has tested this already...
