Opal's ads were very good actually. I got targeted ones on Instagram Reels and they legitimately made me uninstall everything that wasn't serving me. Ironically I never installed Opal, but their marketing team really did me a soli

The malware posts comments like OP to lots of hacker oriented message boards, prompting all curiously minded ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 owners to verify that the comment tells the truth by trying it for themselves.

This is the way. Uninstalling instagram, facebook, youtube, reddit, and tiktok genuinely worked for me. Otherwise it's like trying to diet when your pantry is fully stocked with every possible ultra-satisfying snack food under the sun.

As a regular Go user, I agree with this take. Though the tools exist, error wrapping and checking (with errors.Is and so on) is actually pretty rare in my experience. Positive example of good and appropriate usage here: https://g

What do you mean by this? WebAssembly is a low level bytecode which only defines low level types. WebAssembly doesn't "have" types any more than x86 "has" types right? Or have I missed something?

Sorry, balanced opinions are not welcome in discussions about favourite programming languages.

Why do I read most tweets as if they are trying to sell me on something extremely urgent that I must know about? As if the thing they are telling me must be known or else I will be left behind? Something about the sentence structure? Anyone

You are raising a curious and engaged child who is interested in exploring what it would have been like to be aboard Chistopher Columbus's vessel in pursuit of reaching India. Your child loves reading, and also appears to like video ga

You're right, I shouldn't be surprised. I can't help but read an overdose of cynicism though. Curiosity and amazement can go hand in hand.

I really enjoyed this. Reading the comments here I can't help but notice the irony. Storytelling requires a suspension of disbelief, and the crowd here are intent on peeling things apart. I wonder if HN readers approach printed books w

My introduction to The Prodigy was Firestarter on one of the Wipeout games. That soundtrack was brilliant.

It is pretty typical these days for services in a distributed architecture to not depend on local state whatsoever. In fact, in k8s there is no way to "properly reboot" a pod. The equivalent would be to replace the pod with a new

Well, why? This comment seems counter to the now-popular "cattle not pets" approach.

Yeah possibly poor choice of words for an international audience. For non-brits, imagine I just said "additional, nature-y non-covered area of your place of residence".

It's always worth checking out the native species that work best with your terrain, weather, and soil[0]. Though you may not be able to grow much food, you can grow a wonderfully rich, low maintenance garden with natives that will attr

Porn isn't consumed openly or at school because of social effects (read: it is embarrassing), not because of laws. If schoolchildren are the pliable rule-followers you imply, why do they all vape?

This is an awesome illustration of character development by trial, a thing lost in our modern culture. Thanks for the anecdote!

FWIW, I myself am not vegan and I would never push a diet that is unworkable or hard to fit in for someone with strict dietary constraints. I'm also sorry if you face judgement for your diet for that reason. That said, I would say for

People really need to start thinking harder about plant based diets. I don't think most people know the numbers[0] in terms of how much habitable land is occupied by grazing and animal feed land. I mean just think about it: you're

Somewhat, but then on the other hand when you are down to the last bit of beer in the spherical portion of the glass, you have to tilt the whole apparatus so much that the bulb starts to slip out of its wooden bowl. I nearly broke the glass

Can you settle a dispute for me? A friend and I were debating (and placed a bet!) on whether one is to drink by holding the wood handle or by removing the glass from the stand. I find a lot of disagreement about it, but no official source.

Now the pendulum has swung too far in the opposite direction. The linked repo README makes no song and dance, barely even a mention (and even then just to explain some setup alongside Python instructions), and yet here we are obsessing over

This is why those who can appropriately select good information will flourish in this age. I still suck at it (get pulled into mindnumbing shorts for 30 minutes), but then I learned a new musical instrument for _free_ using YouTube.

It is one of my favourite things on the internet when a bunch of people can go to a virtual space and hop around and use an in game chat impromptu like this. Thanks for sharing.
