Year after year I find myself using vscode instead of emacs for almost everything. Until org-mode support in vscode improves, I'll keep using emacs for that.

This makes sense if you're a mercenary. Which seems to be what most people here on HN are, and same with most companies I've worked at. True believers are at companies because they other motivations than personal wealth. I find mo

I don't like Brood War as a game, both to play and to watch. I much preferred Starcraft 2 over the original, but unfortunately the esports scene died for it. In any case, RTS games just don't seem like good games for humanity, it&

Who cares? I genuinely haven't needed my phone to be faster for at least 5 years. The only reason my phone becomes slower is because of operating system bloat that they keep introducing on phones. Just give me an open OS, an old phone,

How much time? I've given it like 6 months where I'm eating wheat again before I'm forced to stop because the symptoms become way too much to deal with.

I find the argument that we shouldn't increase housing supply to make housing more affordable laughable.

It's pretty clear they're arguing their point from a Marxist lens of exploitation and oppressive classes. I don't mean to state that pejoratively, just factually.

Humans have some deeply self-destructive tendencies. It's not just a predator/prey or an oppressor/oppressed relationship. I'm not sure that if we ban all outlets for self-destructive behavior that something good will co

Speaking as someone with a health care worker in the family who just went on strike, I think this makes a lot of sense. When hospital workers go on strike, it often forces the hospital to go on diversion, leading to other hospitals taking o
