It seems to me that the tone of the article is critical of the fact that Trump might scuttle the loan, wile the content of the article says that no responsible admin would ever approve it. Though somewhat aside the point, I don't get w

Where does the article define what "medical grade" honey is, or where a layman would get it? EDIT - it was right there: "Wounds were treated with L‐Mesitran ointment (provided by Triticum, Maastricht, the Netherlands)[, a] ho

I don't know which "this" was referred to, but I think we need laws to prevent a foreign company or hacker from shutting down our power. There was an article on HN about a month ago, that two companies each have the ability t

Current title is "Livewire/Htmx alternative for vanilla php". But, it seems to be a Livewire/Sprig alternative, using Htmx. Am I missing something?

From my POV this is worth bookmarking - there are many datasets that are much clearer with one chart type or another - having 100 styles with the same data will later offer a visual index to help me decide what will best serve my needs.

Looks good. I am glad that they support container-queries[1]. But all the real goodness is in contain[2] (which sounds the same but is not related). Tailwind really needs to support contain. I am disappointed by their statement that there w

I don't get your issue with builtin utilities. The design philosophy of PHP is to include whatever common methods would otherwise be in a popular library. (PHP actually began more as a library than as a language.) This differs from, eg

AMD keeps on projecting a message of: it's all about hardware . Many "influencers" have been convinced that: it is all about software - especially in AI. (I happen to agree, but my opinion doesn't matter). It doesn&#x

Kudos that you looked at the license file and for bringing our attention to the fact that it is not, in fact, OSS. That is independent the fact that his comment used non-parsed Markdown. Negativity about his claim that the software is &quot

How about "Can you ~~at least~~ please reformat your markdown for HN before pasting it?" The guy has obviously put in a lot of work into an open source project. Markdown is easily parsed by the crowd on HN, and adds clarity even

My doc encouraged my 19-yr-old to take an ADHD drug, and claimed that it would allow him to learn new languages with the ease of a child. I cannot remember now the name of the drug (I think it had a "Z" in the name), but I wondere

As someone who doesn't think highly of CNN, I am quite happy about this. Let them increase their revenue while decreasing their influence - good for them, good for the world.

Covering 100% of Earth with solar panels is a no-no. But Dyson had this great spherical concept, so maybe there is a way to get a lot of that energy while still, like, living on the planet.

For a while we were being sold on CDs on a more permanent medium, such a M-disks. Assuming you store your own players, and have a convertor from USB to whatever exists in fifty years, is that a real solution?

I would think Moissanite is a no-brainer. It has a much better shine, is cheaper, and (anecdotally, in my circles), is just as cool. Unless she wants a "real diamond", in which case lab-grown is no good either.

Well, yes. But at this point, any company they call out drops immediately, even before holders have time to do due diligence. Hindenburg can pretty much print money.

It seems to me that google should not allow a site to serve different content to their bot than they serve to their users. If the content is unavailable to me, it should not be in the search results. It obviously doesn't seem that way
