Interesting. Is there a way to shape it to topics you care about? It's all about Sudan and Ukraine, which while globally important I'm much more interested in local (Australian) news / tech news.

Love this comment and the passion behind it. Another non-US person here who routinely has to do a buttload of research to know whether products will be supported (or usable) in the future, especially with US-centric takeovers. I wish these

I use S3 for a simple app landing page and I use .well-known for deeplinks... Unless I'm misunderstanding your comment which I probably am.

What's wrong with Edge? I started using it when Chrome started eating my RAM, it's been mostly unobtrusive and unnoticed, like a good browser should be.

As an Aussie I'm impressed that username g'day is used by some from the Netherlands and not here. Unless you're an Aussie living in the Netherlands...

On YouTube web if you use sponsorblock + ublock origin (or S-Tube if you have an androidTV), it becomes a quite amazing experience. Not strictly ethical I guess but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah ignore that guy, I'm from Australia and we never learnt squat about Fahrenheit in school. The only things I know are from trying to google conversions when they're mentioned in movies.

This was a really thoughtful response, thanks for sharing it. As a 35 year old who's just had his first kids this makes me sad to read, it really feels like I'm past the age of good parties now. Pre-covid we were having raucous ti

Same. I've played guitar for 22 years (mainly steel string acoustic), but last year started learning classical and I cannot get enough of it, even though I'm pretty shit at it. It's so much fun to learn, even though no one wi

Out of interest, how are you using it to write tests? Do you just write "make a test for functionX" or something? (Don't have much experience with it)

Are you able to set a new pin or fingerprint from that state?

I've been in a similar position recently - uncle died from a quite sudden bout of MND, we were close. When I found out I didn't cry, nor did I really feel anything . Just the absence of feeling. Oddly enough, when my cousin calle

This is awesome mate, thanks so much for the detailed response. All really good points. (and congrats on the newborn!)

Interesting. How late in life are we talking? I've heard similar things, hence why we're keen to get started sooner rather than later.

> To the extent an HN reader's offspring is more likely than the gen pop's to increase the quality of our species, I'd say do it. While your circumspection is a good for parenting, your narcissism and long-windedness are

Hah! Is it that bad? We're financially stable (monthly mortgage is 3 days of earnings for me, have a good $100k in liquid savings and growing +15k/Mo at least), own car outright, have an extra ~$200k in the house, and have a good

Ran out of room (and apologies if my formatting is hard to read!) but happy to elaborate on any of the points here as well. One worth mentioning is the career stuff. I'm far less motivated by work than she is; for me, as a developer, I

A problem with all of the responses here is that they swing and miss at trying to find an allegory that matches this situation, and then conflate their allegory as truth, losing any of the nuances of the Facebook situation. You can skew the

If someone writing a novel has to look up the spelling of a particularly useful word that fits the situation perfectly, but they can never manage to spell it right without aid, does that make them an impostor? No brain can contain the exact

Even then I can't envision how anyone could justify spending $299/day on something like this that (as far as I know, correct me if I'm wrong) can be reproduced for free using the Instagram/Twitter API...
