I know little about Mastodon, but it seems like somebody went out of their way to make the cringiest sounding product possible. “Hey man, I just tooted on mastodon!” It really sounds like parody. I hope I am just missing the point. You migh

I thought it was slightly funny that I can read the Latino programming language better than I can read Spanish, despite never seeing the former.

Adobe is simply advertising their most affordable price. The options are clearly labeled at selection. They do not try to trick you. The way I see it, there are 3 possible alternatives to the current arrangement: 1) Adobe stops offering the

This also frustrates me so much with all the newly-live-streamed events this year. So many companies are spending so much money putting together virtual conferences, but can’t be bothered to ship their speakers a decent mic or webcam. Heck,

Was he level-headed? Talking like that at work might get me fired. It would be better if he just ignored the PR instead of making a scene. Maybe I’m just sensitive

I generally agree with your sentiment. However, I would say that this type of consideration is only useful when deciding to birth a child, not if you are considering adoption. In the latter case, the child is assumed to already exist in bel

People already can and do choose Apple knowing that they are entering a walled garden. Apple has made a strategic decision to maintain this walled garden. This decision is one of the company’s key differentiators. Your position appears to

GME is sitting pretty at $312 after hours. What did they get saved from?

You don’t need a GME position to think less of Robinhood after today

No, but I could’ve been more specific. I’ve updated my comment.

Your comment convinced me to download their app and give it a try for lunch. Apparently delivery is not available in my area. The nearest Dominos is 2.5 miles away. I am deleting this app now. Edit: Yeah I know this probably doesn’t have to

How do people find these things? I feel like I'm so out of the loop.

Looks and sounds beautiful! I've been fascinated by the concept of automated musical instruments ever since I saw the self-playing piano at the Valley Fair mall in San Jose. I can't believe you soldered directly to the ESP though!

How would you expect the computer programmer analogy be completed? I legitimately don’t know what a reasonable answer would be.

I’m not sure if that take down says more about the NYT or the current levels of political polarization.

Be sure to mod and side load custom Beat Saber tracks if you haven’t already. Dancing (sabering?) to songs you actually know makes the whole thing way more fun.

Heartbreakingly, the family learned that lesson as well: > Luis obsessed over who they were. But even he had learned the lesson his mother’s murder had been meant to impart: only push so far for justice. “I won’t make the same mistakes a

I like when people complain about HN without understanding how it works. Actually, I don’t. Downvoting turns your comments grey. Flagging is a separate action.

I didn’t know that, thanks! I guess I need to learn more about how vaccines work. I thought that vaccine implied immunity which implied that transmission is prevented.

I’ve had to use Cypress at work, and I really don’t like it. I find the command chaining and assertion queuing to be very unintuitive. (“Do I chain this one or not? Maybe stick it in a callback? No idea!”) It’s been a few months since I’ve

Like skribbl.io, an online Pictionary game. Maybe also things like agar.io or slither.io, but those are less for parties I think. Jackbox.tv comes to mind as well, but obviously that isn’t .io lol Games ending .io are generally fun, simple,
