Really? Seems like a terrible name to me. Where I'm from, if you "post hog", you're getting blocked.

QuakeWorld had perfect TCP/IP, actually still one of the best netcodes in a game IMO. Reminds me of trying to get coax LANs set up correctly though, and how everyone's ping would spike when someone was leeching files during games.

Teachers do more work outside of their standard hours than most other professions. I dated a teacher for a long time and she worked much harder for her public school salary (waking up at 6am, prepping, lesson planning, grading, chasing up k

It's such a great font. I've been through them all, and even hacked together my own custom version of Office Code Pro, and while I switch every now and then, the iA Writer fonts are my favourites. I pair them with the Quatro versi

I really dislike this quote. It always comes across like it's designed to ease greedy people of their guilt for moving to the right as they earn more money. To me, being sound of mind is wanting everyone to have what you have, or at le

100%. At my peak of competitiveness I played CS and QuakeWorld 640x480 on a 170hz CRT with my Intellimouse overclocked to 1000hz. Movements in game felt like an extension of my arms/hands and getting into a flow state was so easy. I ha

Yeah, the NY times article[1] actually says it was the US embassy in France that requested it was banned "on the grounds it might assist Communist propaganda efforts". The last paragraph says: "The Russians managed to obtain

Is Twitter going to remove all screenshots/leaks of any company's internal comms? If not, this is not a good look.

Yeah it really feels like the NYPD has a lot of contempt for the city they operate in, politically, socially, culturally. I saw the same thing at every protest I attended — when there were no cops around, it was extremely peaceful. I only e

I don't think anyone is arguing that WFH is "_obviously_ superior" for everyone, but there are clearly companies who are angling to push all of their employees back into the office (and back to the Bay Area specifically), and

I love this advice. I started working remotely in my 20s and negotiated to work 4 days a week, while traveling the world and deciding where I wanted to call home. I'd never trade that time spent growing up and finding myself, learning

Yeah, not strictly zero intervention of course (a socialist won a democratic election and the US wasn't going to have it), but compared to other countries it was shorter-lived and longer ago.

This has to be a huge part and it's sad but not surprising that you're being downvoted here. Almost every other country in Latin America has either been invaded by the US, or has gone through US-backed coups, economic sanctions du

Love this. There are high-res textures for Quake which would have made this look even better. The Quake Revitalization Project[0] has created new textures "without changing the mood, theme, or atmosphere", and I believe they'

Probably the same way you are generally productive but currently spending time on HN? Very unlikely anyone's productivity is "capped" by their typing speed. 99% of my productive time is thinking about solutions, not the physi

I don't use it professionally, but I built a side-project in Elixir a few years ago and was amazed at how much I was able to get done with such a little amount of code. The service is still running today with basically no maintenance.

It's ridiculous in the first place that BioNTech received almost half a billion in public funding specifically to develop the vaccine and yet own 100% of the rights privately.

Just makes sense. The benefits far outweigh the risks at six cases of blood clots out of over 6.8 million doses, especially when there's a high risk of blood clots following COVID-19 hospitalization. Not to mention rates of blood clots

Ideal in what sense? NYC has more than double the GDP of the entire country of Switzerland and approximately the same population.

Not interested in editor wars, but regarding the OP, Emacs has a fundamentally different architecture to vim and always has, lending it to the sort of customizability the article focuses on. It's essentially just a lisp interpreter tha

Part of the messaging (the title and buttons) is built-in, but in all of these sorts of dialogs apps provide their own strings to explain why they're asking for permission. The screenshot in the original article shows where Facebook ca
