   Transparency is another important one. One reason I dislike such digital ID schemes because I can't actually tell what information (or metadata) is being forked over. Even if it does purport to show me, I'm just supposed to trust

   What's your favorite email search tool? Ideally something that runs against a local archive on PC, and has a mobile app. With instant results. I used to use Lookout (for Outlook) and have never managed to find something as fast, simpl

   Had a similar thought, but apparently skeletons decompose after just 20 years in fertile soil, or a few hundred in sand. I was thinking some kind of artificial replica of cadavers in the most gruesome state we can conjure, made from materi

   I wonder how many hashbrowns a "robinhood" style hacker could have sent to strangers, or orders-in-transits discounted to a dollar, before they caught on.

    Thanks. That submission got flagged (presumably as clickbait). Any reason this one shouldn't too?

    Nothing wrong with using old hardware until it dies (provided you have appropriate redundancy, of course).

    Sometime around 1990 is when I got my first computer, and it was one of those. Came with the wonderfully audible cassette recorder, boxy 5-1/4" disk drive, pair of joysticks and a couple cartridges. My parents bought it secondha

    When the future arrived, it felt… ordinary. What happened to the glamour of tomorrow? While I share your lament, witnessing feats like a Starship getting caught by giant chopsticks feels pretty darned extraordinary!

    Here's a TRS-80 era one that when I see the cover, I can still smell the parchment aroma that came from cracking open the book: Getting Started With Extended Color Basic https://colorcomputerarchive.com/repo/Docu

    This is awesome (and very impressive)! Two questions: 1. What tool was used to generate that "Ange Albertini-inspired file format diagram"? 2. Is there an emulator that would make this easy to play under Android?

    How about reproducibility? I always took for granted most compilers will generally output consistent binary code given identical inputs. Then the other day I saw a post here about optimization timeouts and such.

    I want to thank you for doing this, but for a different reason: it reminded me how much I appreciate the vanilla HN layout. I viscerally HATE all the news sites that look like your project. I've sought alternative sources of news with
