Maybe HN should make a category. I'm feeling your fatigue too.

Terrific piece and in many ways I'm nodding along. As a 50yo with 2 teenage kids there's lots here that resonates. On the other: "Television, The Drug of the Nation" was released in 1991 - there's always been much a

I guess I'm fairly relaxed about it - I mean, I can tell if it's going to rain imminently because it ...feels like it. Don't get me wrong, I did love DS and the accuracy was insane - it's just that my wife pointed out th

All of that, apart from the transit system thing - we don't have a lot of infrastructure where I live :-) But - am I affected by the weather? Nope.

Sure. All the time - I'm a runner, a walker, I have teen kids who like walking, we have a dog. But is any of this really changed by knowing it's going to rain? Nope. I stick my nose out on a morning - if it's cold, I put on a

I live in the UK. In Cornwall. By the sea. So there's nothing whatsoever predictable about the weather round here :-)

My wife often asks me "but why would you care about the weather?" and I have to say that over the years I've either been ground down or simply come to understand her way of thinking. Yes it's sort of exciting to see grap

I had the unfashionable but actually pretty cool Amstrad CPC464. I wanted to play games but also program. Hacking games was also much fun: figuring out how to give yourself 100 lives and so on. Many weekends were spent typing lines and line

This was in a frame above the bath when I was a kid. It sunk in - I've always remembered it and can recite it pretty well even now, 40+ years later. I think it's a lovely bit of advice :-)

I saw "generate clutter..." in the title and thought "why would I want to generate clutter?" I know it's a minor point but I'd go "Remove clutter, ads and trackers from any article" for a stronger ini

I've been impressed with Yunohost [0]. I only have it setup on an internal box for now but it works well, and super easy to use. Good for people like me who aren't interested in admin. [0] https://yunohost.org/en

I'm wondering if the AI component here is actually a bit of a red herring. I've been actively using Kagi[0] for the past few months and what really works brilliantly there is the notion of "lenses", AKA "per-site&qu

IMO, I don't think this is a hard issue, at all. I don't think it's partisan, either - although it's (as ever) being wrapped up as such. It seems to be blindingly obvious. Culture, art, writing - life, in fact - is of it

Comparison is pretty highly rated as a factor for misery - I'd agree with others on the thread - better to consider yourself as yourself. Are you happy? Is the role fulfilling? Are you having fun? And then - given all this, are you ear

I'm going to sound irritating and glib, but to stop doing something you've got to have the will to stop doing it, and then...stop doing it. Sure there are tools out there to help and techniques and blockers - but ultimately there

I'm not convinced there's a problem but only as long as you own your own domain . Using gmail (as in blah@gmail.com) is potentially dangerous, either from "Google decided to lock you out of your account" to "Google

That's a nice idea - point a script at a CSV file and generate a bunch of flat files for each item using some kind of simple templating language. I might take this back to the guys at the Platform and see if we can do a POC for the cl

I really like Omeka. It's a very cool project and we did look into it early on. Really though we chose WP because it's ubiquitous - no lock in, very powerful, easy for editors to use. With the right nudging it does all the things

WordPress has custom post types, taxonomies and metafields so is very capable of dealing with complex relationships if you need it to. What's challenging is going from simple columnar data such as CSV to something complex and relationa

I run a little agency in the UK who works with museums to help them with digital. A large part of this is getting collections online. Some years ago we commissioned a developer to make CultureObject[0], a free and open source WordPress plug

It really does look truly weird from out here. I mean, I'm living in the UK, where some seriously bad shit is going down, but even given all o that, stuff in the US looks pretty dark...!

I miss the days where app installation was just "unzip, edit the config file, upload to your web server and hit up the install page". Now it's all Docker and gulp and build and urgh soooo complicated.
