I think you’re talking about subsistence farming, which plenty of places in Europe do practice. But it is hard work.

I remember downloading music from the hacking e-show “The Scene” way back when - must have been late 2000s? Some great music in there like Newborn Butterflies if I remember the name right. It was nice background music in the show and I’d pu

I used the more recent Petzold examples to successfully bind DirectWrite to Direct3D, but yeah it’s been a crapshoot otherwise. Still have the Windows Programming (5e?) bible around here somewhere. Took awhile to grind through it. I dread m

It is possible but you have to cultivate it. There is no mechanism here that automates it, so it’s up to each author’s sentiment to shape the outcome as they see fit. Submit threads that are apolitical and guide conversations to be positive

Every time an Ed Zitron article is posted on HN, it is met with a torrent of vitriol and personal attacks. The articles are okay if not overly wordy but I don’t see how the subject matter elicits that strong of a response. At any rate, this

It’s one thing if it was just me, I can get by with duct tape and glue and building shrines to Stallman, but I have to think about the not-so technical folks I hand things off to. This is partly why I am exploring Scribus, as even if it’s n

Pages takes me back as I really enjoyed all the Apple-first products (remember Sofa and Cultured Code?) but nowadays I can’t justify getting into macOS.

Thus far I have had pleasant experience with LibreOffice. Shockingly pleasant and easy to use and fast. I moved most of my MS Office printable media to it. I had to chase down different font weights to capture as close to the thickness that

I thought about doing this, combining it with Win 10 Enterprise IOT, but in the end it’s delaying the inevitable. I’m migrating away from Microsoft Office and Windows in general because Linux is an easy sell when most activity is done throu

It’s a fair criticism but I don’t have an axe to grind here. I do enjoy the docus and many of the other documentarians could learn a lot from the lack of drama/theatrics in Attenborough’s work. What I am getting to is that by taking a

No, it is unfortunately very romanticized and carefully narrated. It gives a very skewed impression of reality. It is closer to a staged scene and less of a documentary, which is why some of those cinematographers wait for so long. Actual n

“Most people across generations favour the idea of impartial news, but young people more often (32% compared with 19% of those 55+) think it ‘makes no sense for news outlets to be neutral on certain issues’, such as climate change or racism

I guess even HN needs two minutes of hate. Andreessen is an easy target.
