This recent takedown will only make more people know about YouTube-Dl and hopefully create more forks. When will these big companies learn!?

Found this on reddit. Looks like an aggregator for multiple hosts file that block ads and malware. Super useful and free alternative to nextdns, especially with software like adaway (android).

I've become a huge fan of Linux Mint. It looks amazing and unlike before now there are no driver related issues (the thing that kept me from using it all this time). The only thing I miss is Photoshop but I really can't think of a

For me sadly it's the WebSpeech API. A lot of sites that use speech-to-text and text-to-speech break on FF and also the voices FF aren't nearly as good as Chrome. This bug has been pending for many years now and I don't think

I'm kinda happy they are doing it more and more. Just waiting for the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

I think creating a side project just because all the cool kids are making money doing it can make you exasperated. It looks like when the reason for doing it is not to solve your own or anybody else's problem, your focus becomes more a

tl;dr: according to the calculator on the page for 1km you will burn: - 235 calories at 3.2km/hr - 307 calories at 5.1km/hr - 697 calories at 8km/hr - but no significant gain by going over 8km/hr

You know what drives me crazy? All these people talking about how great technology is and how it saves all this time. But what good is saved time if nobody uses it? It just turns into more busy work, right? You never hear somebody say, &quo

I originally voted for this since it seems like a good idea but then unvoted it because it just a landing page with nothing to show for (which is against HN guidelines for show hn iirc) Regardless I think you should post it again when the a

There are some legitimate reasons to do this btw. Webspeechapi being one of them. I've been waiting for so long for FF to support text-to-speech (it does but the quality of voices isn't comparable) and speech-to-text and mdn has s

I think this should definitely be opt-in. DO should make a list of participating repos and only PRs to those make you eligible.

Yes, that is such a strange this to do. I'm really confused why a website would play a loading sound!

I would also like to add one more thing that helps you to achieve goals: "Make it fun". I don't like exercise but I love watching Netflix. Unfortunately, I don't get enough time to watch my favourite shows everyday. Solu

You're absolutely right. The whole reason for blocking or not supporting Flash on mobile devices had more to do with this IMO than the officially stated issues with battery / security.

There is one more lesson here. Sorry if this is a bit OT and I don't know Colin but the lesson is "be good at one thing and crush it." It's good that he has dedicated a big part of time to just one thing: backups (and th

My favourite HN comment was about burnout: Burnout is caused when you repeatedly make large amounts of sacrifice and or effort into high-risk problems that fail. It's the result of a negative prediction error in the nucleus accumbens.

I'd say spacex is a pretty big leap forward in terms of advancements in science, maybe even maths. Same with neuralink that will help handicapped people to walk one day. Hopefully that knowledge will drive our whole human race forward

One thing I'm really excited about with this version is Vite (the snowpack type version of Vue that doesn't require webpack). It should make development so much easier.

Is a person who invests that money for-profit but makes giant advancements in maths/science while doing it an equally big giver? Take for example, Elon musk. Even though he hasn't given monet away to charities like Chuck, his for-

In my opinion jugaad isn't always bad. See this for example (1), this is 100% jugaad IMO. It's only bad when you have the resources to do something and yet you choose the shit way to do it. (1) https://mothership.sg&#x2
