Is this not just an advert/spam? This isn't an interesting submission about non-conventional home construction. This isn't a noteworthy example of website/ecommerce design. This isn't an editorial piece promoting in

Coincidentally, I happen to be reading a book on technology addiction and just finished a chapter on Tetris [1]. As soon as I opened this link I started to whistle the music from Tetris (GameBoy of course). When I spotted Steve Wozniak I re

For those in the UK: London Design Museum 26 April - 17 Sep 2019 General tickets on sale 1st Jan. Adults £16, Concessions £12 [1]. Such a shame to see yet another exhibition confined to central London. It's absurd that I can fly to Bar

Without a smartphone? In the car I have a Garmin satnav unit which I can use. They are great quality and I paid about £20 or 30 for it used. I strongly dislike this modern trend for using phones in cars. They are too distracting (I hate thi

I went backpacking around S.E.A. for a short time in 2002. It was just before the digital boom. No phone, just dropping into an internet cafe once a week. SLR with about 50-60 rolls of film. Info came from a tatty copy of a guidebook, word

I completely agree. There's stuff on YouTube that I just can't see existing, or getting noticed, on alternative platforms. A great example would be a channel called 'Primitive Technology'[1]. It's superb, and I real

I don't pay for either, but I'd also add: Netflix has a threshold level of quality. There's probably plenty on there I wouldn't want to watch, but nothing that I'd deem offensively bad. YouTube, however, I find to b

I previously used a Galaxy S3 with Replicant OS. I also have a Sony phone with Lineage OS (with no Google). I now use a dumbphone as I don't particularly like smartphones. This decision is less driven by security and more a desire to r

I would respectfully disagree. It is not acceptable to roughly the amount of people (and I include myself) who make a deliberate and self conscious decision to oppose it. This is a small, small group. I have a phone with Replicant OS, which

Yes, that's the one. I didn't have a bookmark for it on my phone. Thank you for linking to it.

I highly recommended reading some Hemingway. He has a very beautiful writing style. It's a masterclass in efficiency. I have to write academic work in a rigid format, but I try to mimic much of his style in my other writing (reflective

I'm very junior and UK based so I can only speak on my experience... No, there is no lack of understanding about the importance of promoting sleep. To suggest that somehow medical professionals haven't got round to working out tha

As someone on HN who is medical, not tech, this thread is as frustrating to read as it would be for many of you to read doctor's opinions on how best to run a software engineering firm. "I'm not a software engineer, but here&

Thanks, I'll give those vids a watch. Yes, I'd definitely say that Linus' channel is much bigger than I'm interested in. I'm thinking of the small channels who put out quality content, b with a restricted audience.

This is a low quality piece which is only serving to clutter more of hackernews with more opinion pieces on Facebook / Mr Zuckerberg. This is not deeply interesting.
