A classic, and regularly shared here on HN :) I really like this version of it personally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6JFTmQCFHg

Do you consider things that are inside a house to also be outside a house?

Stuff like this really makes you wonder what life might look like out in the universe.

I guess there's some confusion in that I don't think anybody's saying everyone should pirate everything all the time. That would, indeed, be problematic. But if companies keep pushing people to piracy... well, I'm not go

Grouping Notepad and vim together under "tools that make your job harder" is pretty wild. Has anyone ever known a serious, professional programmer who used Notepad to code?

Do you and GP not get notifications for replies and (at least some) likes?

Oh, fair enough. That is indeed not shown anywhere it seems.

What's your point?

In my experience, people's reasons for piracy are a pretty even mix of all these issues (service problems, principles, and cost) I'd certainly pirate less if I could afford it, but even if I could, I'd still pirate a lot of s

We haven't shifted from anything; this has always been the case.

> but only inside your own personal enclosed house. Isn't it usually illegal to smoke things like cigarettes inside rented homes, legality aside? And don't most people rent? That seems like a whole can to deal with.

Aha, what a small world... Puzzle Pirates was a very big part of my growing up. One of the first online games I had the pleasure of playing. I still download and check in every few years :) Yar har har!

> Far better to spend those $$ on weddings rather than funerals though ! Is it though? Can you elaborate why you think that? To me, they seem to serve basically the same purpose. They are both, at the end of the day, a way for family &am

That sounds like a very rewarding job. Sure, you have to deal with the grief that so many death-adjacent fields have to, but at least you get the satisfaction of really helping people through those terrible times. So sorry for your losses.

I think it's more disrespectful to judge so harshly a company - that puts out wonderful, free, open source software - asking for donations 1 or 2 times a year with a message that is easy to close.

It's not irrelevant. GP made a comparison between what we're going through and the Industrial Revolution. Ignoring the negatives of that revolution - like by acting as though the "new world" was uninhabited/unused a

Things like star and galaxy formation/interactions are (relatively) straightforward, with fairly simple processes/mechanics at the heart of it. It's easier to predict on such a large-scale what's going to happen. Things

Sure, because working on a database plugin is the same as, for example, working on mass surveillance tech. This sort of handwashing is exactly why the natives were treated the way they were.

Sure, of course it's convenient to ignore the native peoples and pretend that prior to the Industrial Revolution the rest of the world outside of Europe was some untapped well of resources that Europeans had a natural right to. Who mig

It doesn't seem likely to me that in, just a couple hundred years, humans have developed such a thorough understand of every natural process as all that.

While I'm not surprised at the general tastes here in the comments (as I mostly share them), I am surprised at the lack of any mention of classical?! Johann Johannsson and Max Richter are my go-tos.

The movies, sure, but the Backrooms as a concept (and by extension liminal spaces in general) are not necessarily horror. I don't find them "scary" but I do find them disconcerting.
