We'd all be a lot less stressed if there was a clean separation between politics and technology platforms but that isn't the case. Arguments about the house settlement for college athletics and the politics around that are not a g

I'm disappointed, based on the headline I thought this was going to be a story about how military research somehow lead to the Warhead candy I enjoyed as a child.

I won't have to switch careers since I'm a software engineer instead of a developer that does nothing but implement specifications with no creativity or design work. I will have to keep up with the changing technology landscape th

As someone who's blind I've made this argument in the passed. I don't need 100% success as long as the failure mode won't injure me. Seven years ago I would have loved a car that would have driven me to and from work 95%

Is that because of DEI, or because Costco offers better deals and people are stocking up because of economic uncertainty? I know people who ahve stopped shopping at Target including me, but anecdotes don't prove anything.

I have stopped shopping there as well, but continue to shop at Amazon. Amazon is clear that they are a corporation who only cares about the bottom line. I can respect that vs Target who is pandering.

I wonder how the Framework laptops work with out a screen? I'm interested in the new Framework 12 for it's small size.

I got excided looking at this hoping there was a laptop with out a screen. I'm totally blind so the power draw of a screen is pointless. I currently use my ROG Alli with a Bluetooth keyboard to connect to my more powerful laptop which

What's your current situation? If you live in a place that's significantly less safe then the US do to poverty and crime then yes. If your happy and safe where you currently are how much does the money matter?

Do you have resources that provide info on companies using Linux on Z and the benefits of this verses commodity hardware? I used to work for a Mainframe ISV but the majority of our software ran on z/OS. I only saw customers using Linux

While this looks interesting I'd like technology to make graphing more accessible to blind students. I switched from computer science to telecommunications because the graphs got complicated enough in Calc II that I couldn't pass

What are these alternatives, and where are they discussed? I agree he's more of an entertainer but I have not scene a more serious discussion of the possibly valid points he brings up.

While this may be true in the short to medium term how do you square this with the issues of an aging workforce and low fertility in China in the long term? While I don't believe Peter Zeihan's opinion that China will no longer ex

I'm very happy with Squarespace. I'm a Backend developer primarily focused on Java, but since I'm the person who knows tech I was handed a WordPress site for a preschool. The original creator picked a budget hosting company

Did Nintendo mention anything about accessibility in the presentation? It's shameful if they still don't have a screen reader when both Xbox and PlayStation do.

Have solar panels become that popular in the last ten years, and are people retrofitting old boats? All my prior great lakes sailing experience was on boats that would use the diesel motor to recharge batteries.

I didn't watch the event this morning but am I correct there's still no screen reader on the switch? If this is the case Nintendo's lack of accessibility efforts is shameful.

Then start hiring people at decent pay and provide actual training. This is completely anecdotal but I feel like Mainframe doesn't pay great. I was lucky that i did a lot of work with Java on the mainframe so was able to switch to a no

As someone who used to work for a Mainframe software vendor I'm tired of COBOL being considered "legacy" and bad. I didn't do much COBOL programming, but IBM is still releasing new compilers and new versions of z/OS

What would be the best way to provide feedback? I'm not sure when I will get a chance to look at Continue, but suspect it may be after comments are closed on this thread.

What is the accessibility status of the Continue platform? I am a totally blind developer and have found Cursor to be an absolute mess when it comes to accessibility. There are enough tools available that I'd like to know about there a

As someone who is blind I don't understand the target market for this? You can get a basic Braille embosser for $1500. Assuming your using braille paper for both ways of producing braille the embosser will break even after 1000 pages.

In my case the answer to why not both was unattended reliability and piece of mind. If it's raining and we lose power we have about four hours before we start to get flooding do to a sump pump not running. Our backup generator will run

Why are you asking on HN? Have you already discussed this with a Doctor? If so what advice have they given you and why do you need to get extra advice from people who are not medical professionals? If you haven't talked to a Doctor why
