I love the art for two reasons: 1. It’s simple, charming, and nostalgic. 2. I view it as a defense mechanism against the onslaught of modern gaming that’s locked in a race to the lowest common denominator (i.e. “Stay away! This game isn’t f

I currently have 388 videos bookmarked on TikTok all about home design that I used to help guide decision making on my home remodel. I have 389 videos bookmarked about cooking. I’ve never amassed a collection of resources this size on any o

Don’t mistake the momentum of past success for current engineering and safety practices. If the MAX and 787 can get released with defects slipping out, there’s little certainty which other corners are being cut that can wipe out all progres

I like the literacy explanation. If reading letters was hard enough for enough people, why add extra complexity by introducing a subtractive system? But as the populous becomes more educated and there’s less concern about reading ability, i

I had the same question and I don’t think I can squint enough to make this post make sense. I really enjoy coming here for the tech/hacker concentration, though I do miss the general audience topics you’d find on old Reddit. While I do

I was a big believer in Helm for generating Kubernetes resources until I looked up and saw that we had created an impossible-to-validate, impossible-to-reason-about DSL in our values.yaml and that's when I realized we were at the end o

This was the most obvious characteristic about all this new legislation and I haven’t seen nearly enough chatter about it. It’s analogous, in my opinion, to the Star Wars prequels where all the senators praised the formation of the empire t

What’s it matter what the market decides? The EU will just step again and do the only thing they know how to do.

How’s that market doing? Growing much?

I really don’t know how useful a comment structured like this is. Were you trying to be helpful or hurtful? I think it’s better for you rather to +1 GP’s comment by adding your observations instead of only measuring their values against you

I drove across the country for the holidays a couple years ago because I planned to spend a few weeks there and didn’t want to rent a car the whole time at the destination. Plus we had our dog to tow around with us. If I only drove 400 mile

Yes. We all know it wasn’t in earnest, but this allows Reddit to say they tried.

The subreddit experience is bifurcated into (at least) two camps: big/popular/default or small/curated/niche. The tyrannical behaviors are most often found in the former camp where being a moderator is synonymous with “i

Risks to physical danger evolve all the time. It’s not a big leap from AI generated this script to a fatal bug is nefariously hidden in the AI generated library in-use by mission critical services (e.g. cars, medical devices, missiles, fert

For one thing, the city council voted to oppose war with Iran. That’s great and all, but who asked the city of Seattle for their thoughts on an international relations dilemma? I’m sure the vote only took up perhaps 15 minutes or less in go

Approximately zero people participating in HN need to see this type of reply to a comment. I suggest you assume good intent in GP’s message and respond in a constructive manner.

No, because the alternative is customers going to another company for a similar product. Customers don’t buy jackets they don’t need, so taking Patagonia off the table would in fact probably increase the overall impact to the environment si

Or rather the opposite! Trees haven’t yet been able to survive on Mars, so we’re advancing technology where biology has thus far failed.

To what degree? I assure you, there’s plenty of options that work. Maybe your concern is regarding operational complexity?

I spoke with a coordinator at Kenmore Air about a private charter a few months back. Over 90% of their flights are on their higher capacity DHC-3 de Havilland Otters so that they can fill seats more efficiently. The Beaver runs on leaded ga

For Wi-Fi though? Seems relatively low risk to me. Concerns over password security can be mitigated by those that care by using unique, randomly-generates strings per service.

There is way too much human interest to that article and way too little substance on the problems. Tl;dr - there’s no security risk unique to QR codes are that aren’t simply present on the Internet at-large.

The basic principle is that space itself is expanding—the empty stuff between all those stars, planets, and galaxies. Not only that, but the expansion of space itself? It’s accelerating. And the further away something is, the faster it’s ac

Yes, which is why the EU’s recent legislation is a terrible, terrible thing. The People’s cry for other rendering engines on iOS is a sham (the free market chose iOS among other, more permissive and equally viable platforms). Real people do

Is this true? And if so, how long has The Verge been like this? I was always fond of the quality of their video productions (to make no judgment of their reviews).
