The problem with fixed lists is that what is in the spirit of HN evolves. Single page info-graphics and Awesome-Lists come to mind. Hell, one or more of PG’s books has one or more baysian generated texts presented as poems.

What I do think we'll (finally) add is a "please give a reason why you flagged this post" step Do you believe adding friction to flagging will reduce the quantity of low quality articles? Or is the flagging of high quality

Threading does not change the ways email sucks.

Subject lines have always been the best way and most emails could be nothing but subject line if blank bodies were allowed. But because subject lines are more work and people who love sending email tend to love it because it is very low eff

Why not group emails? Email is a push technology. And the receiver has to manage their inbox for the sender’s enthusiasm. 2-3 weekly emails A web page could update in real time. It would be more work for the sender. And less work for ev

Because success is an end unto itself, my plan to succeed at reading more books will begin by reading zero books. Obviously the longer I spend reading no books, the greater my success will be. Time to install TikTok to the homescreen. Zero

My understanding is that a scientific preponderance indicates dredging up new land is ecologically unsound. But I could be wrong.

Learning a new stack is easier than finding a job. Because it is not finding a job. And when you are done learning a new stack, your network is still the same and your on the job experience is just further in the past. Finding a job sucks.

Customer service is a moat that can justifies premium pricing. Premium pricing segments the market for customers who see value in what you do. And premium pricing allows you to afford customer service.

For example, I need a 74hc245 for a repair I am working on. I just bought 10 chips and three 3m USB C/C cables and 50 velcro wire wraps for $10.61 including shipping. The best price Amazon showed me for the chips was $9.99. I got $14.9

MIT Scheme is the simplest thing that might work.

Scheme. Javascript is a fine language, but it is not the right tool for this job.

The only way to know how much cheaper is to look on Ali Express. That’s how I wound up there. I don’t spend mental energy dealing with Amazon’s dark patterns and terrible search that is flooded with sponsored links for something I did not s

For what I typically buy Amazon is about 2x-8x more. Though sometimes for more expensive items it might be a wash. One other factor is that the minimum order for free shipping is often $10 versus $30 or $39 or $49 depending on Amazon’s algo

When a person doesn’t understand how Midi works (i.e. bytes vs frames in your case or speed in TFA’s author’s case), a person can’t fix the code without recognizing and accepting their ignorance. There’s a protocol and it’s in a standard.

I use Ali Express for those things because I don’t need them next day and I need my money more than Jeff Bezos does.

Whats to be done? Complying with the Midi 1.0 standard is an obvious option. Old instruments are designed to handle 31,250 baud because that is the standard. If a new device does not transmit at exactly that rate, it is sending a differen

something you're supposed to do, if you are? Nothing is preventing anyone who feels it is important from doing it to the degree they feel that importance. And I hope we can get an actual answer to how does it work. The way it is is

In my experience “[flagged]” does not appear until a submission is dead. But that’s just my experience.

by brudgers 3mo ago
Most pages on the internet are not a good fit for HN. check all recent dead posts and vouch for them if they don't deserve to be dead? To the extent it is important to someone they will do it. To the extent it is not, they won’t. Ho
