Note that most of the open source / hobbyist web actually works properly. I don't think the answer is primarily that it's a matter of money - I think most large companies end up with "web design by committee". If Zu

Do the things that give you joy in life and stop worrying about the grind. Travel, go camping, join a meet up group, go to the pub, etc. You might be able to find something which provides motivation - e.g. if you're studying French you

That time when there was a big propaganda campaign to get everyone to hide inside for a big scary virus. We probably maybe not really sure saved 0.5%-1% of the population, so it was worth 2-3% of our lives worrying about it, 10% inflation,

I agree that Bitcoin wasn't explicitly designed to store data. It was, however, designed to be uncensorable. Your second sentence there is - well, indeed. It _is_.

In the engineering sense this has already happened. I'm not sure "abused" is the correct term, though. It's an immutable data store, like IPFS with a server in a jurisdiction you don't control. It stores data. Is it

I browsed a lot prior to 2019 and recently again. I used to work in software development but have moved out of the field recently. I love HN and derive a lot of benefit from it, unfortunately during the Great Scare I found it impossible to

Slow creep is the devil. You can't let anyone push into your life because if you give them 1% they'll shoot for 100%. See the last two years. Take three things, give back two. Take four things, give back three. Suddenly, everythin

But, again, most people aren't running about spouting horrible stuff, and neither are people trying to catch them out either. It's all just a bit weird to me. If someone said to me "I hate fags", I'd either ask them

I get that I'm not the target market here, but the headline is quite amusing. I bought a Pixel 3 specifically _because_ it had support in Lineage and I could whack microG on it. I have some >8 year old tablets running Lineage and va

> the American person is not at fault for not understanding this. Part of being an adult is understanding that generally, people are not 4chan trolls. If someone who's not a crackpot says to you "can I burn a gay", even th

The main issue with NixOS is not NixOS itself but software which sometimes has an insanely complicated build process. An example that's hitting me at the moment is Anki. The build process was changed by the developers a while ago and b

This is a really good example of why relying solely on "peer reviewed study" is a great way to lose sight of the forest for the trees. If you think cocaine and caffeine are even remotely comparable in their effects, then, well, sp

But that's not what is actually happening on these platforms. You can search for something like "is coronavirus dangerous to me" on YouTube and you'll get a list of specific banal videos, which don't actually answer
