What do you think is a better way to validate the input is legitimate?

I feel like capitalism is a natural phenomenon of specialization. Imagine if the human body didn’t have a dozen different organs each producing a specialized product for your body and instead had one organ that tried to do everything?

Wondered how HN might best implement mandatory offline periods during the day. I’m thinking something like it’s offline for an hour every other hour so only a total of 12 hours uptime a day.

Awesome thank you for sharing sounds great! I think you have enough features so to me the challenge is finding how to make it feel like it already lives inside the applications people are already using for work (like Slack). Imagine a trail

Hey amazing work. I attempted a 3D version of this in 2020 using playcanvas and Agora.io but ran into the realization that navigating a 3D world is not intuitive for non-gamers. Also, 2D is great because it lets you author new content 10x f

As a hobby drone pilot I wouldn’t get in one of these without prop guards. Not because of the risk of the blade hitting me but the moment they strike anything else they’d shatter and you’d plummet to the ground wildly out of control. I’d be

Philosophically speaking whats the difference between a never ending stream of AI generated entertainment and heroin?

by mentos 4y ago
Yea but there are virtually no cheaters on streamed games so might be a worthy tradeoff?

Yea I think of the Elves in Lord of the Rings. If a person has lived 200 years then they have lived long enough to see and understand the true costs of war.

Awesome thank you for that insight sounds great ! If I had any free time would be a fun project to try to implement the API in Unreal but really not necessary game looks great amazing work!

Awesome, I’ve been developing with Unreal since 2014 recently checked out C# support with UnrealCLR it’s very basic but probably enough to create an API between your game code and Unreal. Really curious to know what level of granularity you

Hey for what its worth I went to check out Gitpod and followed the 'Try Now' button, logged in and was presented with an empty Workspace with no suggestion/direction of how to make use of the service. If you could provide a s

Congrats! Looking at the DIY Guide [0] it looks like a lot of the laptop comes pre-assembled still (case, motherboard, screen, keyboard). Is it more cost effective to do the labor on Framework's side to ship everything more tightly tog

Altered Carbon was an amazing ride before it hit the wall. Really a shame how it couldn’t maintain that magic for longer but happy to have enjoyed it however short lived.

I went to BestBuy last month with this same idea in mind. I've got 4 desktop PCs under my desk I use for game dev but I'm curious to travel and remote desktop into them. I was on the fence about maybe just getting a small laptop a

Social media giants are like tobacco companies in the 1950/60s. If the next president ran on a platform of regulating social media as the harmful and addictive product it is, people would probably be receptive. Everyone knows they have

As a complete layman I wonder if there’s a future where you could use a picture/X-ray of an old CPU architecture and simulate it blindly with an approach similar to yours?

Go to bed early and wake up early - fill your Saturday and Sunday’s with 32 hours of consciousness doing nothing special first. You’ll find that the weekend will feel twice as long and make your work week that much easier to bare. Then see
