I haven't used it for a while, but there is a website called 'staticice' that appears to still be an e-commerce price/product search engine. I'm not sure how it works, maybe the sites sign up, or provide prices, or

I recommend the PS5 controller! They're very available (unlike the console), come in a few colours, and are regularly on sale -- about $90AUD in my currency. They're rugged, reliable, pair easily via bluetooth without any custom s

I'm a toothpaste last-bit-squeezer for sure. It's not loss aversion -- it's waste aversion. There's probably lots of reasons why I don't like to see things wasted, including social, or family upbringing, or personal

I feel a deep sadness, a sympathy, or sense of loss for the countless artists who have toiled to produce beautiful works over the decades (centuries?), just for them to be approximated by a single click as a vector mashup in an AI generativ

I would recommend you consider a government job, in the public service somewhere. There you will find many people seriously impressed with what your low-effort output can produce -- and the best part is that if you choose the related field

This is one of the main reasons I use two particular things on Android: 1) Firefox on mobile, with addons. Battery consumption is reduced a lot with less javascript, less ads downloaded, less domains contacted etc. From my quick tests, Fire

Maybe I'm late to the party -- but this [1] graphic is great in the linked article. Could the designer share a little about how it was made? Does it represent one of the generated voices, or is it just 'artistic'? (both are c

1. Excellent. I'm on an air, and it's quiet and cool, but performance is great. Given the good performance, the battery life is quite amazing. 2. This is my first non linux laptop in around a decade, and it took a lot of getting u

Some interesting tidbits: * There's a sortof hidden/unlabelled button - did you press it? * Did you notice the nickname you were given, slowly building up over time? * Do you have resting sad face? Or resting happy face?

I enjoyed the smoke video header on top of your website - I love animations that loop but I can't see exactly where the join is!

I'd love a suggestion or three - my old ipod nano is dying and I would find sifting through the junk/good on alixpress or other sites almost impossible without recommendations. I also prefer it not to have internet, notifications,

My favourite example in this page is used four times but not pointed out specifically. It's the use of <(some stuff) to create a temporary file descriptor. Since it's not explained I'll give it a quick go. If you ever foun

In a lot of terminals, Alt+. (or Option+. on Mac) will paste in the last argument of the previous command. $ mkdir hi $ cd <alt+.> You can hit . several times to cycle through earlier final args.

Broader context: iView (from the ABC in Australia, a publicly funded broadcaster) was pretty much first to market here for streaming TV, and view on demand. The other stations have all since caught up, but ABC have a tremendous amount of qu

Another straight-forward but non-obvious reason, depending on your industry: Because the computer we would run it on is not connected to the internet. From google docs to numerous npm-things, there's myriad software I was unable to run

Not sure if you're aware, but the Aussie covid vaccination "certificate" from the government App uses a "digital hologram" to prevent forgery. It's essentially an animated gif.

Monday this week (October 11 2021), the Australian public broadcaster ABC (similar to BBC in the UK) program "Media Watch" aired a small segment relevant to this discussion. Media Watch noted that this week, News Corporation newsp

Regardless of how I personally will use Firefox and adjust its settings, this change makes me less likely to suggest it as a browser to friends and relatives. It still has enough large advantages that I will continue to use it (especially o

In Australian law, and I'd imagine generally in many other countries, intent is a big part of judging a wrong. But of course, it's possible to cause harm without intending to, so there are other things to consider. Common phrases

You've done the opposite! You've shared a place with me, but I can't select a location to share with my family that use iOS. If I remove your ?address component, I can't find your to browse around or "open maps&quot

If I don't have any iOS device, or an Apple account, can I still send an Apple maps link somehow to friends or family? In particular, some of my elderly relatives use Apple maps and last time I tried I couldn't figure out a way to

I actually still have this tab open, for the rich HN discussion surrounding ways to find quality films to watch. The article listed is Akira Kurosawa's top 100 films: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26551604

I have a similar setup, but with the Shotwell part replaced by Lychee. It's a self-hostable photo browsing web app. I can share photos with family members that way, like how I might share a google photo album to them.

In Australia, we have a number of dishes available as a staple at heaps of Chinese restaurants that are far from 'authentic'. Certainly, this is something I enjoy - though I'm not the biggest fan of honey chicken, I see it as

Related, an interesting side effect of CGNat use by ISPs with limited IPv4 space is an unreliability (without spending slightly more effort/money) in determining which customer was downloading at a particular time.

I am surprised to hear that commenters consider a person with a closed Google/Facebook/Amazon account of being able to clearly know why it was closed and how to remedy that situation. I have read many HN articles and pleas for hel

I cannot read this article without subscribing, and the title gives very little information. To save others a click: In 1970, an image of a dead protester immediately became iconic. But what happened to the 14-year-old kneeling next t
