Why do all aviation IT systems feel like they are so fragile? It feels like not a single month can pass these days without some "Airline X has major outage and ruins tons of people's days!" story on the news. What is the tech

Yah, I submitted the Ars version and it got marked as dupe in favor of this. I think HN should prefer the non-paywalled one, but... shrug .

I have those on. For both of them (Twitter/TikTok). ScreenTime is a great first step by the platform itself (iOS) to help folks do this themselves. The difference between my post and ScreenTime is it leverages the brains gravity to the

I totally agree with what you're saying. If you simply try limiting it, the brain will just want it. I think turning it into a "reward" for getting things done puts the addiction in a different light, and at least for me, it

I made this: https://github.com/nkcmr/async so I can experiment with the idea of Promises in Go. Keep in mind it's experimental and I've only lightly played around with the pattern.

Worth noting, indeed; thank you. Probably should have worded my comment more carefully to just be generally worried about debris in Earth orbits no matter the source and not singling out Russia.

Yesss. Glad to see this getting some love. I use this tool very frequently in my day-to-day and my work would be so much harder without it. A lot of folks mentioning great projects/solutions that work the same but I love me some good u

By itself, this argument makes sense. But the problem is how wildly unevenly it is applied. If you're "big enough" you get a pass. Also, they got their first version through without any issues or a peep about this rule. And o
