I think The Hobbit has also been proven false. You should add it to your list.

That doesn’t sound very fun. I say forget the finance angle. Go for a straight up adventure game where you have to save the hero, Cash, from tragedy.

No, not yet. I only recently found out there was more.

I gave Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations a go and gave up around half way. Maybe if I knew the historical context it would seem more profound? I enjoyed Three Body Problem a lot more than I thought I would. That was probably the best book I read

It should be an adventure game where a character named Cash is missing and probably in trouble.

LoTR isn’t for me, so reading it slowly wouldn’t be an enjoyable experience. There are other books for me where I found myself reading and re-reading, moving through the book slowly, marveling at text wondering how the author managed to pic

My family went to Hawaii a couple of years ago and in the exact middle of the trip we took a day doing absolutely nothing and it was kind of great.

Even phones these days have pretty good scripting environments (thinking of Shortcuts on iOS). I’ve had really good luck with Claude helping me write shortcut scripts. For example, I wore a CGM this year for a bit and I couldn’t find an eas

So, something like Excel?

Well, that at least establishes how much he values the watch. Luckily for him, the market for watches is big and when he finally needs something new he has a lot to choose from. The watches on the low end are better than ever and the watche

I suspect her bosses are very happy with who they hired. The chances that they now regret her are about 0%.

You’d have to know the qualifying criteria to know for sure. I suspect she was hired at least in part because she would be willing to take the heat for stuff like this,

You probably should be getting the automatic serviced every 10 years. That basically involves cleaning it, replacing the mainspring, and applying new lubricant. If it's a dive watch, they would also replace the gaskets which dry out.

FreeCAD sounds great but in practice it’s sooo slow. If you are coming from SolidWorks, Fusion360, Inventor, or OnShape, it won’t take long before you start finding that there are a lot of things missing from it.

I don't think HN has ever claimed to be especially innovative.

Which is odd considering how much of X is owned by the Saudis.

How do you evaluate if the DRM is working as intended?

by criddell 11mo ago
All Tor books (the publisher, not the privacy tool) are DRM free.

The latest version of Amazon's DRM can't be reliably removed by the DeDRM package. I still use a Kindle eReader (an Oasis) but I now buy books from Kobo because those are easy to strip DRM from.

Why do you think it's different? At first glance it seems more or less the same thing to me.

by criddell 11mo ago
Maybe, but I think that's probably okay. You can't launch your boutique credit card and refuse to refund fraudulent charges with the excuse that you are too small to do so.

If the companies are too big to provide reasonable levels of support for their users, then the companies are simply too big.

Cash being more useful wouldn't help you regain access to your photos, music, email, etc... when your account has been deactivated..

What are the best online courses you’ve taken? On Coursera, I did Andrew Ng’s machine learning course and Dan Boneh’s cryptography course and both were excellent. Time well spent IMHO. The next thing I want to take is a WinDbg course. Udemy

Google Translate became very good compared to what came before it. Other stuff is better now and one day we will say the tools of today are trash.

In fairness to the person at the top of this thread, they did add qualifiers like that.
