I miss when you turned on your console and booted directly into the game . Sony's XMB is a terrible UI. Things are unintuitive to find and take forever to get there even when you do know where you're going. Something like the N

If you want to pay a lot for food you still can. I imagine this is the case anywhere. If you care to look, you can find an amazing meal on the cheap. If you don't, you may end up paying a few bucks for a single apple.

These are getting harder to find, but it's worth it. When I was in high school/college, I didn't need a YouTube algorithm to bring hip music to my attention. I just needed the flyer with upcoming shows at the church basement.

Probably Stephen Miller. Correct, he doesn't have the authority, correct, this is outside the scope of the org. Neither the republican controlled congress nor the republican controlled SCOTUS are interested in exercising their checks a

There seems to be some implicit feeling that everything ought to be getting better and cheaper than it used to be. It's less an implicit feeling, and more explicitly what's being marketed to us. Think about AI. It's being m

I think that's ok. I mean, I don't know how it could be trusted. First, it's not an easy question to answer, especially for products with many qualities. For example, qualities of a kitchen knife: looks, ergonomics, steel typ

Sometimes it's not just $5. It's $5, creating an account, handing over personal info, getting on a mailing list, agreeing to who knows what in a TOS, etc. Specifically, gamers look for cracks to allow them to play single player ga

What's your blog? Minor Threat was before my time, but I've seen Fugazi and The Evens a few times. Ian always puts on a great show. He seems like a really thoughtful, detail oriented guy. I'm not surprised that he keeps organ

Why restrict it to ticket holders? I'm sure bands don't want to leave money on the table either. Metallica surely doesn't: https://www.metallica.com/store/live-metallica-cds/

HN thinks the exclamation point is punctuation and not part of the URL. Luckily wikipedia has a redirect already set up that will work: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Mark,_Tom,_an...

There was lots of "tape trading" back then. Video too. Foreign TV shows, regional programming, etc. If not technically Internet material, i think this is certainly in the spirit of the Internet Archive. https://en.wikip

Convenience & simplicity aside, how expensive is it? Not necessarily compared to driving, but just in general. When I went to Japan a long time ago, I remember being kinda shocked at the cost compared to the JR Pass for tourists (which

If you're worried about this, consider a copy and paste from notepad.

You have it backwards. People are using billionaire owned AI, billionaire lobbying efforts gaming the system, and billionaire owned media as a propaganda arm for AI as a specific example of the larger general idea.

Congress has tools at their disposal, like impeachment, to punish a sitting president if they want to . Not sure if they can void an improper pardon, but it would nice if the threat of impeachment was more meaningful of a deterrent.

I don't know if I think it's funny, but I'm probably equally curious about two points. I do think that the journey is as important as the destination. I spoil things for myself all the time, mostly because I'm just alway

My first appreciation of generative art might have been the Streets of Rage 3 OST, even if I didn't know it at the time. Composer Yuzo Koshiro utilized a tool he called "Automated Composing System" to procedurally generate a

(Of course names are an option in this context.) Yes, this is a case where you aren't forced to use "you" ambiguously in that context. No, because "you in the back" could refer to just one person in the back, ins

"You in the back" has the same level of specificity. Other options include (again) naming names or calling out a more specific location "You in the back row".

Surely, you knew all of your students' names and if you were addressing one person, you could've used their name. Addressing the class as merely "class" seems adequate as well. I'm having a hard time thinking of a s

Practically, axon cameras aren't nearly as ubiquitous as flock's, thus reducing the leo's dragnet capability. I'm sure the feds will successfully try to get access to this footage as well.

Yes, but I'd prefer some more specificity to the shape. D2 can be coin shaped, but don't have to be. There are some diverse shapes in the image of the article.
