I was pretty young when I last saw web pages look like this but it warms my heart to see one again (unmodified since October 2001!). I think I’m going to find a way to get this running on an old machine this week…

There are web/mobile apps that can handle the playlist/“liked” songs migrations, but I don’t think they’re widely known.

As a part-time working musician I also wonder about this because they aren’t very artist-friendly, either. Their discovery-specific algos/UX are ok, but I think becoming the global de-facto music/audio-specific social network is t

Yes. But more specifically, the author of this post uses Pólya’s framework to examine their 3D graphics problem and illustrate an interesting solution. I first heard of that book via HN a decade ago and I was amazed by how useful Pólya’s ap

As somebody who would prefer to return to California—- The Blue Ridge line between Roanoke, VA and Greenville, SC is probably where I’ll end up myself. But sadly the mountains are not nearly the same, I’ll miss that elevation.

Interesting. I’ve been using the Wikipedia iOS app (which saves history by the day) to keep track of my personal rabbit hole journeys…

I think this is an important point since the cost of money is a big part of building and buying housing. There are other nuances contained in this exchange too. But beyond cost of money what, if any, specific argument are you making regardi

Not OP, but ‘collabos’ was a slang word for ’traitor’, describing French nationals who collaborated with the German military occupiers of France during World War 2 (a synonym for ‘quisling’). Source: https://en.m.wiktionary.org&#

While this also feels hyperbolic, I noticed this attitude while living in Northern California myself. But I saw that exceptionalism state-wide, and most especially with young people. The first time I saw a notable break from that attitude w

If this question had a reliable (and public) answer then the world would be a very different place! That said, this is an important question. We, particularly those us who work on critical infrastructure or software, should be asking oursel

I nearly edited my comment below to add a mention of Pine Mountain but selfishly (…yes I’m sorry) wanted to keep it obscure in the hope that it’d be less crowded when I visit it myself periodically. If I’m going be less selfish, I should pr

The skies there are brilliant! But that also means it is one of the most remote areas of the US. There is very little but high desert and ramshackle cattle ranches in all directions. There is a reason that they named this county “Malheur” (

This has been true for several years. An insurance agent once told me that there are life insurance companies dropping the requirement for blood draws / medical exams and are just buying prescription records to correlate with financial

It takes real courage to stand up to a request in those circumstances. A notable example from a few years ago was this nurse [0] who was unlawfully arrested and forcefully dragged away by an officer when she refused to take blood samples fr

I think the lower 2022 numbers reported for Moxie Marlinspike reflect that he was only involved as CEO until February 2022, so $80k would make sense as ~2 months of salary before Meredith Whittaker stepped up to the role.

I was also curious, so I web-searched it for you and came up with a couple of promising items: A USB Voltmeter with E-marker and protocol testing: https://www.amazon.com/ChargerLAB-KM003C-Portable-Charging-V... A very basic

Nathan Marz created Apache Storm, coauthored the book "Big Data", and founded an early real-time infrastructure team at Twitter. It's likely the 'curse of knowledge' of working on this specific problem for so long i

This is a misdirection. I hear people discuss this issue all the time and the focus, like TFA, is focused on compensation and ‘labor demanding too much from consumers’. But consider that processing fees (at least in the US) are generally a

The guy that created orb.farm[0] is the same guy behind sandspiel.club[1], which is a browser-based Rust/WebGL powdertoy-like implementation. I added it to my phone's home screen so my kids have been playing with it for years! [0]

I think I agree with this in general. And my own experiences line up with this documented rise. But I also wonder if the rates for men, even white men, are undercounted here. My impression is they’re the group least well equipped to recogni

Hundred of bank closure, higher bar to starting De Novo banks, and 14 years of Quantitative Easing means a LOT more assets have been siloed in fewer institutions.

Thanks for posting this, it wasn't on my radar. Couldn't this also contribute to increased home prices in older single-family home neighborhoods? Or it could go the other way, too, depending on the desirability of new neighborhood

I developed a knack for this in practice (thanks HN and 2010's Twitter!) and formalized it on paper just days before I heard an interview with the author David Epstein regarding his then-newly-released book which gave my instinct a bet

Amphetamine-based drugs are Scheduled substances in the US and other countries, so they keep a tight grip on supply. I've been able to get as much as a 90 day supply at once however, that was handy.
