They’re not. Most of these price increases (e.g. semiconductors, lumber, consumer perishables) are supply-chain related. It’s reasonable to expect them to subside as the most acute phase of the pandemic recedes. Only one I’m not sure about

I mean, I experience several negative emotions (frustration, anger, etc.) reading the average comment thread on the internet, but to say that I am “hurt” by them would be a grotesque exaggeration …

Experiencing a negative emotion is not always, or even most of the time, the same thing as being hurt.

I have to say, nobody should take parenting advice from HN. To those defending paying attention to your phone instead of your kid — get a grip and get your priorities straight. Your kids are only young for so long and then it’s over forever

Agreed. Taleb coined this the “ludic fallacy”: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludic_fallacy “… the focus on those pure, well-defined, and easily discernible objects like triangles, or more social notions like friendsh

Don’t let the haters drag you down. Myself I think Windows is fine (I work in finance). I use Fedora at home as my daily driver but lots of things on Windows are just as easy (or as tricky) to get running as they are anywhere else.

Can someone here explain to me the appeal of BBEdit? I’ve tried using it several times but it never clicked with me. (I’m an Emacs user.)

And when I was at Findhorn I met this extraordinary English tree expert who had devoted himself to saving trees, and he’d just got back from Washington lobbying to save the Redwoods. And he was eighty-four years old, and he always travels w

Lol so it goes right? There was a time when I didn’t even like Pink Floyd myself, and that just makes me smile now :) To improve is to change . . .

What?? That’s Pink Floyd’s “Great Gig In The Sky”! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Gig_in_the_Sky I always thought the story was that Roger Waters asked the vocalist to think about death, but perhaps that’s a

This idea of “the public” is a distorted, commercially-mediated fantasy. Facebook is a product, it is not a public square.

Does anybody have any information about this guy? I've seen his claim of being the "inventor" of mRNA vaccines a few times, but I am skeptical because this claim seems to only be made by his own self. I see this Wikipedia art

It's because it's 99% just entertainment, and not that important to most people. Sorry to burst your bubble. Even your use of the word "content" gives the game away.

I’ll stick to reading the many other decent recipe sites, thanks. Kitchn has probably worked best for me so far.

This is absurd. Many of these recipes don’t even have quantities on them. Needs some kind of QA process at least ....

I’d love to see an estimate of how much time per year saved. My suspicion is, not much. And my bet would be that one or two outages (likely to happen at some point with these devices) would tip the scale the other way. Nothing wrong with li

The reason why we have things like regulations and consumer protection laws is exactly to prevent people from, as you put it, becoming victims of themselves. If everyone had this kind of attitude, we'd still be driving cars with no sea

I didn't downvote you, but comparing this situation to what happened with GME (as in your previous comment) is, at best, a stretch. At least with GME one could argue that people signing up for margin accounts to buy stock options shoul

I don’t understand the negativity here. I think this is a pretty cool site (when browsing on my iPhone at least).

No real backstory I guess. I found Homebrew unpleasant to use for a lot of the reasons gone through in this thread -- mostly just the "rolling distro" nature of it -- so I was a dedicated user of MacPorts. My experience is probabl

One thing I haven't seen mentioned here is that Homebrew forced people use Ruby to write formulas (ie packages), whereas MacPorts forced people to use Tcl. This one decision, plus hosting formulas on Github, was a major contributor to

It really depends what we're talking about here. Specific to your comments I can think of a couple things: 1) In terms of organ replacement, I agree it's a great opportunity -- but, we really won't or can't know the full

You first. More seriously, this is one of those situations where the short-term pluses are plain to see, but the long-term risks are vague. Why not employ the precautionary principle here?

I can't see anything from those pictures. I find your armchair detective-ing here deeply distasteful.

No, it doesn't imply anything. What if you fall asleep in the basement? What if part of the house collapses and can't be accessed? Is that a "blockade"?
