Somehow people are still trying to convince themselves Musk is a good, virtuous guy. It probably has a lot to do with them not being able to admit they were wrong, or that they bought his PR bullshit. The reality is he's an awful perso

Heating would have no real impact, ICE cars are heated using the heat their engines naturally produce. Winter tyres though and winter fuel mixes? Those definitely have an effect.

HTMX is awesome. In a world of front end frameworks I don't understand and frankly don't care to understand, it lets me write nice, interactive websites in a very simple way. I've normally extremely skeptical of anything like

How to be less distracting is certainly one of those things. Modern computers are constantly begging for one's attention. It's one of the things I really resent about a lot of modern platforms, leave me alone. > You can sync Ne

The old Mac community is excellent, maybe even one of the better retro hardware communities. It's filled with people who are very smart and making cool things. There's definitely a higher barrier to entry with old macs compared to

I was diagnosed with it, but have found it almost impossible to get treatment for it in my province so it's still a huge daily struggle that never really lets up. It's really, really frustrating knowing help exists but I can'

People do this when they have nothing to say, but find a post uncomfortable and want to try to either weaken the post, or discredit its author.

Assisted suicide (death in friendlier terms) like we have in Canada is only going to become more permissive and other pleases will continue to adopt such laws. In the future when people have real options this is less likely to be an issue.

Nah, this is a huge deal for some of us. Many of us put in years of work for something to be thrown away without a second thought, all of our time and effort for nothing. I am someone who wants to build long lasting, useful systems. When m

I could honestly see it happening. Something like VRchat is never going to replicate IRL socialization, but it's close enough that it could fill a huge gap for a lot of people. VR socialization might not be great, but like the BigMac i

Yes, that's exactly what it is. We live in a society where happiness is just an amazon box away. It doesn't last long, but with overnight shipping people don't need it to. Almost every ad you see is trying to tell people how

That's is extremely unpopular with the general public, much less here on HN. Ask people to reduce their consumption and they have a tendency to lash out.

Probably not, because video game addicts will not admit they have an issue, much less one that wastes valuable time.

Doing CW QRP at 1 watt in the right conditions will cover a huge distance, especially if the power has gone out. It really doesn’t take much when you get down to the absolute minimum viable setup.

Exactly, if you think you might have it get yourself tested. If you end up not having it you can be glad, if you do end up having it your life will probably make a lot more sense very quickly.
