I don't see what this has to do with Zoomers, to be honest. If we're going to bring up generations, I'm a millennial who basically grew up on IRC and vBulletin forums. In fact, I'm still a fairly active participant in IR

This may have already been discussed. But, if Musk is being honest and this has to do with blocking efforts to scrape content for ML/AI models, then why not block IP ranges from the most common compute services (i.e. aws, gce, digital

On mobile it's really a hassle now. I was in an app that wouldn't let me decide how to open a tweet link. So it kept opening the tweet in a web view, where I'm not logged in. The usual "open in twitter" banner with

I notice it the most when I'm just trying to find a place whose name I can't quite recall, but I know where it's located. Usually hole in the wall or other lesser known spots. I'll literally zoom in as far as I can on th

Google Maps has arguably gotten worse. Many times businesses that don't pay to be listed either won't show up on the map/in search or at best show up basically last. I also live in the Bay Area and sometimes I feel like the G

Maybe on HN the majority of people have those modern cars, but I assure you in the real world the odds are not that good.

>The only people who stand to lose are those weirdos who reverse into parking places. ;) As a weirdo who reverses into parking spaces, I find that it's almost always safer doing that in a crowded parking lot than it is to park nose

The baseball one was too. Even down to balls and strikes counts within seconds of them happening. The downside back then was that usually the API consisted of just rendered JSON blobs at certain endpoints and they weren't documented at

I ended up on a random bus in Sapporo once and it was the only public transportation without English signage or announcements in multiple trips to Japan using multiple public transportation systems.

I did the same thing for an IRC bot a long time ago. Last I heard I think they have a more modern API now but I haven't personally checked it out.

I've used Magnet for years now. Always works well and is super simple.

I've made several lifelong friends on Reddit from a small subreddit for a sports team. Sure there's a lot of bad with Reddit but there's also good in there if you try to look for it. Which you could say about nearly anything

The Athletic (sports news publication) pretty much did this exact thing. Originally marketed that you'll pay for a subscription so you don't get ads, and now for the last year or so they've added multiple ads in every article

Selig would still be at the whims of product/marketing/the board so I'm not sure that'd be good at all.

Heh, that's fair. I read it as being something OP would be interested in getting if not for the hassle. FWIW here in the southbay it's already pretty easy to blow $30-40 on an average, not even amazing, large pizza.

The udon is great for what it is but not worth that kind of wait; however, you may be interested to know Marugame recently opened a location up the street in Cupertino and so far at least it hasn't been nearly as busy, at least on week

Valley Fair and Santana Row across the street are pretty much always busy. Sometimes it's surprising to me because both, and especially VF since they expanded again recently, are much higher end and I would think not as affordable to t

In my experience the cheapest convenience store bentos in japan are roughly equivalent to slightly better than fast food Japanese in California. And usually the price is much different too. Like 500 yen, which in America might be $4.50 or s

There are other smaller chains as well. I think I saw more MiniStop (sp.?) in Sapporo than Lawsons or Family Mart. But those three are definitely the biggest.

My dog loves licking me. Arms, hands/finger (especially when I've just washed them and they aren't dry yet), scalp. He also will scratch the fake tile floor in certain corner spaces like next to my front door. I think I read

I didn't see that as being much different from the classic 80's and 90's dad brings huge camcorder on summer vacation. The difference being that now the person wears it as 3D goggle cameras rather than a single camera in one

I went to San Jose state university a decade ago. It wasn't unexpected to find that some books could be bought there similarly where you pay for basically a photocopy bound with a spiral binding.

I'm part of a regional car community for a specific sports car model. I've probably been involved for 6 years now. Originally the regional club had a board with people volunteering to have some responsibility for their subregion (

I don't understand the point of your comment. Are you comparing discussion of a (relatively legacy) software application to an entire developer conference with a mostly singular focus on a newer, evolving technology? I'm not tryin

Hate to say it but this happens already from what I've seen on Reddit. Even decent subreddits I've followed for years that don't have the issues the major subs have. People want their karma, post low quality content, and some

A few days ago, my mom told me how a day or two before she was driving in the city (San Francisco) and a Waymo pulled up in the next lane to her. It started merging into her lane right beside her, and she thought she was going to be hit by

With iOS the new UX seems a little bad. I have AT&T. If I go to the Wifi settings and tap "Edit", and then go to the AT&T Passpoint managed network, tap the "i" button, and disable auto-join, then back out of the

I use one of the wireless CarPlay adapters. Works fine. Only real downside is like I mentioned elsewhere in this thread, the audio does have a bit of a delay similarly to Bluetooth audio playback (as in, if I skip to next song or pause usin
