This sounds fun. Curious what you read about storytelling that sparked an added interest in world building?

yes to this a 1000 times! It's amazing how our familiarity with certain interfaces changes our behaviour too. Anything that resembles a chat box and a "hit enter to send" encourages chat like behaviour. No matter whether it&#

Oof. This is a little upsetting to me. Inessential has been on my RSS feed forever and I've enjoyed reading it for a long time. Makes me feel somehow connected to what's going on with Brent because he's written about his work

I understand that sentiment. But at the same time, if it ain't misinformation, I'm not sure what's wrong here. Sometimes the way to get started is by writing stuff while you are still too arrogant to not doubt (said with much

What would you like to learn about kubernetes? I'd be interested in helping. I don't have any knowledge in manually running a kubernetes cluster, BUT, if it's how to use it once you've spun up a managed kubernetes server

It isn't qualitatively different. I appreciate the term there. Quantitatively however, the abundance of information and the way networks choose to constantly show new content (that is more likely to appeal to you too) makes for a very

As much as I am wary of being negative towards children's behaviours that don't match my own, focus related criticism is something that I feel is really valid. I've watched children below the age of 13 Snapchat and watched an

What I don't understand here is why SmugMug bought Flickr in the first place. Smugmug is such a great example of how to build a profitable photo storing/sharing-ish business, that to buy a service that is bleeding money without a

Just adding this in case anyone is using vs code and is wondering about dev on windows. I'd say that wsl is nice for some tasks but I wouldn't rely on it as a daily driver. It's great for installing some CLI tools to perform

Those are some interesting facts. I've generally been on the side that nuclear is not safe because I don't trust governments to build things safely if nuclear ever became mainstream. I'd expect multiple bidders to show up, so

From what I know (and I've got quite a few self developed addons running), installing unsigned XPI files has not been allowed for a while. I've been uploading them to my profile in the add-ons developer portal and getting back the

Since my brain could not accept this long ago, I wrote a tiny script to see what the result would be if this was to be emulated. Works out perfectly! (Might need to update script for python 3). It's weird. Still feels so unintuitive. W

The one thing I enjoyed with Netflix's original shows was that they weren't held back by these archaic regional deals. A show released by them releases globally. Netflix going global was the moment I jumped on. It still irritates

Used meteor to try and build a production ready project management app in a company I was employed at years ago. We never got it off the ground and this is one of those rare times that technology was the direct reason we couldn't make

This is unrelated to the stores but related to Lego and the topic of knockoffs and product range. One market I've been seeing a niche level growth in is nano blocks. Lots of knock offs but nothing compares with the quality of the origi

Ghost itself chose to not solve commenting. They give you flexibility to install commenting via js or however else you see fit by allowing editing of templates.

Curious what the HN community feels is a "slow deploy". I scanned the article first to find time reductions and still couldn't see how much time was actually taken at the end of it. 11 minutes is a great time reduction. (11*3

Highly recommend the ghost platform. It gets out of your way and lets you focus on writing. Nothing else. You can customize it as much as you want but it's primary focus is getting you to writing first. This is assuming you are willing

This has been repeatedly shown to be only partially true. From Sri Lanka, in bite sized form, the common theme of news of a developed country carelessly sending their junk over to be "managed" [1]. Currently an ongoing mini scanda

I wonder how much Google's deeper integration with kubernetes and the influence of pushing the industry towards using k8s is going to help them in the long run. Could be pocket change at this point but as newer customers come onboard i

So I managed to dig up just one game that looks promising. It's this game called screeps [1]. You program your own fleet of "creeps" using Javascript (or other languages compiled to WASM). There's a fair amount of depth
