The reason the newspaper is showing you a bunch of garbage is because Google has basically forced them to. They need the articles on the main page that will push them up in search results. It's not even what articles they show on the

In terms of your "Live to Ride, Ride to Live" comment I agree with you. I don't think there's any evidence to suggest passionate motorcyclists are dramatically more passionate than car guys. Lots of car guys have their

I would count as a bicycle racer and crazy mountain biker I guess. I think the thing is a lot of bicyclists are not really doing things half-assed YOLO style. Bicycle mechanics are rarely really professionals. There's very little tra

I kind of see it both ways. Some really complex stuff on motorcycles is incredibly time consuming & hard. The two hardest jobs I did on my motorcycles were: First - Repairs after a big racetrack crash where the bike slid and then car

I didn't mean modern motorcycles weren't more complicated than older motorcycles. It's just nowhere near as severe as cars where the manufacturers are ultra hostile to the owner working on the car and even do their best to ma

I don't motorcycle anymore but did for a long time and did both a huge amount of riding and some very serious maintenance jobs. I have kept bicycling thousands of miles a year since. In the past I did a bunch of different types of bi

Car guys are almost completely unable to understand the "feel" difference you're talking about between carburetors and EFI because the car's controls are separated by so many levels from the engine and basically all stre

Lots of jobs you can do on a motorcycle yourself in a garage are like 100x harder on a car so it's nowhere near as accessible. Stuff like needing a lift, or needing a hoist to lift heavy parts like the engine or transmission. And even

Ranking programmers is as dumb as ranking musicians. Carmack is great but you can't really say he's better than say some guy you've never heard of who wrote a bunch of absolutely brilliant algorithms inside a missile defense

Wild. Probably 50% of the subs I subscribed to are gone, and some of the others have deleted all the content and locked posting to the sub. Others look like they got the hostile takeover and a new mod.

This seems like it makes sense to me. The senior folks are sometimes cleaning up messes created by the junior folks. The last 10 years it seems like junior developers have become less likely to own up to their mistakes and senior engineers

I was real curious about this article yesterday and didn't see any comments. Anyone have any idea what these cost when they came out? They seem like an unbelievably powerful/expensive machine for the year they came out. Were the

As a former employee this REALLY seems like something Oracle would actually do, along with instructing employees to tell customers it wasn't actually down. It was before Oracle cloud but I literally was told to do things like that.

This made me think of trash panic on PS3 back in the day too. It was like tetris but with random pieces of trash you dropped a dumpster. Heavy trash could compact lighter trash, you could find a piece of trash that would explode or burn o

Maybe not so weird for 2014 but if you wrote this article today it's super weird to try and analyze it in audacity with fractions of a second. Today you'd throw it up in a DAW and see Lars just can't stick to the groove (ever

I think some of it back then was there was less internet communication and Tcl could be popular one place and Python was popular in another place and Perl popular in another team. Now we discuss everything so much communities converge on a

I'm more surprised Tcl was used in 2009 than I am at any praise or complaint about the quality of Tcl. I used Tcl and Expect (which was a very cool extension of Tcl) in the late 90s in some automation projects as an intern. It did th

What makes you think that? This thing generates enough kinetic energy in the hands of an idiot to far exceed most SUVs, and it weighs 4700lbs anyway, there are SUVs that are lighter.

For sure. These things are luxury/billionaire bragging devices first and foremost. They get demoed, but they're not safe nor legal to use much of the performance on the street. And once you take it to the track you'll be hi

This tutorial comes up every couple years and it's got a pretty elegant UI and presentation. It seems to be a perennial HN favorite. But I got a free copy of Ableton (not Ableton Live IIRC) with an interface I bought and Holy cow if

"Nearly" seems to be a big stretch.. journalists assuming 99% of the work is the idea and getting it cleared from a regulatory perspective. Implementation is always so much harder once you have to actually do it then when you just

I love Lage too, but I play guitar. I think people who play an instrument are vastly more aware of star instrumentalists than the general public, especially the star instrumentalists who play the same instrument you do.

You need to take extreme amounts of it for months to overdose. Something like 40,000-100,000IU/day for several months. That's 8-20 pills per day of the most potent D3 commonly available.

I think it's kind of interesting to think that Google has been doing this for a long time but they've been doing it at an uneven pace for different properties. Search actually seems like it got this treatment first, and in a creep

This might be the thing that makes me go to a zero google experience. I have mostly been off search for a while. Gmail is the stickiest thing by far. enshittification indeed.
