Wow this is so weird, I've had this exact same idea before! I don't know if you're familiar with Dark Forest strikes from the Dark Forest book, but in the book, or the one after that, aliens use bombs that slow the speed of l

Okay one I haven't seen mentioned that I have been using a lot: Chrome Currency Converter, you can have it configured that when you press a shortcut all currencies on a page are converted to your local one. For me, when I press Alt-c t

Omg this is totally incredible I love it - congrats OP! To address _a_ particular negative comment in this thread. 1. I am often weary of browsing subreddits for their episode discussions because it's quite easy to see spoilers by usin

This is really incredible! A while ago I created something adjacent to this that looks for hacker news review of books on goodreads ( https://github.com/spookyuser/hacker-reads ) So I'm very curious how you managed

Same, I've enjoyed using it in a couple of one off scripts and honestly it made writing them more enjoyable because I was kind of excited to see what copilot would do. I asked it to write a js function to clean special characters from

Aside from the other praise people have given Obsidian it is also by far the fastest electron app I've ever used by a lot. Curious if the devs have any insight how they have made it feel so performant.

I have been waiting to play No Man's Sky for so long and after all the good stuff I've been reading about how much better it had gotten I just assumed it would be incredible and that I would love it. To my surprise, when I downloa

https://headspace.com/ is such a good example of this, login button is in probably the worst possible place on the page. And to make it even worse your login sessions are invalidated almost every day so you _have_ to login

This is incredible, I wish there were more analogue centered devices for older people with both hearing and vision loss. The combination makes it virtually impossible to interact with any well designed software because it's all touch s

Wow thank you, tangentially I was trying to figure out how to change a hidden object to visible with tailwind and this seems like it would be perfect for that!

Wow great video! I've recently been watching Look Around You and I have to assume that season 2 was directly inspired by this clip, the similarity is uncanny. An example: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7t2yhw

I love this idea and also the way it's designed, it still feels like a kind of brutalism, but just a touch more modern. I don't really know how to explain it but something about the design appeals very much to me!

Yeah I can't tell exactly which ones but I really feel like some of the OpenAI demos of products could be potentially huge if fleshed out.

While not directly related to programming I'm currently doing The science of wellbeing https://www.coursera.org/lecture/the-science-of-well-being/b... and would definitely recommend it.

Thank for highlighting this, it's hilarious - I could so easily imagine it as a short interdimensional cable bit on Rick and Morty.

Just finished HPMOR and loved every second of it. Truly an amazing piece of work, would definitely recommend. I do hope that i remember some of the methods of rationality mentioned in the book, but even beyond that it was just a plain good

I actually hadn't planned on releasing the extension for Safari but I'll definitely look into it. If Safari supports the Browser Extension API it should be trivial to port.

This is a small extension I made to combine my love of Hacker News book recommendation threads and hate of Goodreads community reviews. It uses the Algolia search API to find comments that match the title and author of a book page on Goodre
