It's the community. I joined a discord server a few months ago to get support from some product (I can't remember what), and once I started using it I realized there are vibrant communities for all of my hobbies and interests. I n

I knew HN would remember it! I remember reading a blog post that linked to that thread in 2012 and it totally blew my mind (actually I think it was submitted here).

I picked up DF a few years ago, and shortly after my girlfriend left for a two week trip. I had a bunch of stuff I was supposed to do around the house while she was gone, but I ended up going completely nocturnal and spent the entire two we

Years ago I found a thread on an art forum that started with the author saying he wanted to learn how to draw, and progressed from childish sketches of hands and spheres to master-level portraits. I can't find it for the life of me, bu

I refuse to put an amazon/apple/google surveillance device in my home, so I am very interested in a DIY digital assistant device. I'm aware of a few options but it seems like offline voice recognition is always a little sub-p

Sorry to go on a tangent, but this is the first time I've heard the word "transducer" outside of a conversation about clojure. Is it the same concept?

Now I know what other people feel like when they listen to programmers talk. :D Do you know of any materials that present the debate in a form that a ten year old could understand?

With the caveat about client side browser encryption in general, which I'm sure someone will pop in here and explain in detail. :)

I don't have any links handy, but I have definitely read reports of sabotage and wiretapping. Edit: ah, from another comment down-thread: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Ivy_Bells

Where? I asked because I couldn't find one on the website or in the repo. I looked at all of the markdown files, the readme, the releases page, and the wiki.

Assuming that "free will" doesn't include manipulating the laws of physics, pretty much like the one we live in? I can see where people are coming from when they say there is no such thing as free will, but it sounds like the

I think the reason a reality show for funding healthcare is so plausible is that it would be filling a gap left by a corrupt and failing system. I don't think anyone believes that there is a gap in the administration of law enforcement

Really? Single payer healthcare is the same as holding a bake sale so your daughter can be treated for leukemia?

Anything that follows "I feel like" is going to be some passive aggressive garbage. This is why I always say "I think", "I strongly suggest", "I agree", "I disagree" instead. You have to rec

I spent a few years in Belize and sadly this is the de facto public health insurance program there. Everyone who gets cancer or has a major accident has local fundraisers to get help from the community.

Sorry this is a bit off topic, but how do crypto traders manage their taxes? I am under the impression that crypto trading doesn't have any of the niceties that traditional securities trading has when it comes to taxes, e.g. only payin

Totally naive question: what if you aren't interested in HFT but just want to take some of the manual labor out of making less frequent trades? Is that any less reliable than sitting at your computer watching the order books or do the
