This has certainly been my own experience in life. My step-father was a very studious and responsible person. He worked 30-years from the age of 19 with the state as an HVAC service tech until he retired at 49yo with a full state pension, a

This article is thick with tribalism, but I personally found it to be a mixed bag. For open source software and self-hosting enthusiasts, NextCloud (OwnCloud, et al) makes you feel really empowered to sort of build out your own personal clo

To be fair, the headline could have been better worded. The convention for something like this is “Show HN: Title of Repo” I could understand how one might not understand what the aim of this post was. Maybe the ensuing conversation could h

This is an exhaustive and insightful document of a largely preventable tragedy—one that does justice to those who perished, as well as the victims of all air accidents with its even-handed analyses and unflinching details. Its revelation of

In my house it’s just my father and I, and we don’t really generate enough dishes to justify using an automatic dishwasher. It only takes 5-10 minutes to clean up after most meals, and it would take a few days to get it full enough to run a

I’m getting ready to turn 42yo, but I want to be like you when I grow up. Seriously, impressive work. I’m a sysadmin who completed a two-year electronics engineering program (mostly for fun, although it’s become increasingly useful in my wo

Like many efforts this administration is undertaking via executive action, this feels more like the federal bureaucracy’s version of a bumper sticker than it does any meaningful attempt at reform.

But why should anyone in the general public get excited about a productivity multiplier? If history is any indication (and it appears to be repeating itself with worrying frequency), then all of that benefit will be hoarded by the upper cru

His ability to construct a catchy title isn’t the best , but I think this fella’s YouTube channel is full of “HN crack”.

I'm not inclined to endorse continued data center construction for much of anything, AI especially, but I was a little curious about how they determined what areas qualify as "high-stress" water conditions? Because they show

A non-profit collective of device manufacturers and software developers could probably create a very effective and potent steward for Android's long-term development. But I wouldn't hold my breath.

I feel like most of your answer was just re-stating the question. I’m happy to admit that’s almost certainly a mix of my ignorance on the topic at hand, and I have been primed to view the discussions surrounding quantum computing with suspi

Not surprised, but the headline is pretty terrible. This is a very small, early stage experiment with promising results. The declarative statement-of-fact in the headline is just irresponsible clickbait. That said, the results are promising
