Awesome writeup and very topical with Running up that Hill being popularized again by season 4 of Stranger Things (on Netflix, I would also recommend the series, by the way)

Don, great reaction to those entitled bastards reaching out with negativity. Love your work man, keep it up. Npp is the first tool I install on any new pc and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

To summarize: EU citizens can vote in local elections in France. After Brexit, a Brit who lives in France was denied voting right due to purported (now confirmed) lost EU citizenship. Meaning British citizens are officially not EU citizens

There are a couple of HN plug-ins that enable infinite scrolling and disregard the accessibility to the footer. Super annoying.

I understand people here debating veggies and fruits or meat. But Christmas trees? How often does one buy one? Once a year? Might have been a fluke? Or do you have a compelling reason to relate this to Brexit?

I don't want to be a prick here, and I understand the author's frustration of seeing his favourite competition going downhill. But.. why not step up to the stage and organize, or volunteer to organize, this competition yourself? Y

They don't conflate the two. They say you can taste the umami without the downside of ingesting too much salt in the process (due to the high salinity of typical dishes with umami flavor)

Induction cooking is good. UI is terrible: touch screen that only allows control over one heat source at a time. Please, please please give me knobs like the ones in gas tops

"It’s a future I want to live in" - Sam Altman Not sure what future he is referring to, but if he means mach-5 private drones (i.e., one or two passenger) then it is not the future I want to live in. We need to advance public tr

Susan, I greatly appreciate this list and will definitely come back to use it as a reference if I need a book recommendation. (I don't think I'm the target audience, although who knows what the future brings..) That being said, I

Could you elaborate whether you had a book deal in place before you began writing the (majority of) the book? And, what are your current thoughts on book deals? I feel this is relevant to OP's situation given that I am assuming he has

As much as I like some of the articles on Daring Fireball, it annoys me to no end that this massively popular website is basically unreadable on a mobile device. John, could you please add just a few lines of CSS or something?

I like them too, but I will say that: a) on very smooth paper, it will smear. Needs time to dry b) on rougher paper, I found it to "spread out" like a small inkblot. As if the paper "sucks" the ink in a bit. Perfectly fi

Excellent writing and a very nice overview of essential books on a topic I had never considered to be a genre. Fiction and nonfiction. If you're here checking the comments only: highly recommended article. +/- 10 minutes
