I don't care how big this man's business is, Rosewell is a parasite bent on preserving the established order of datamining the shit out of everyone for his own personal profit. He is gumming up the works with pointless philosophic

Your definition of 'open and free' smells a lot like 'built to favor commercial entities over information pages' Most of my searches result in a wall of sales or product pages. Hardly 'open' when they turned it

Does that work for node.js apps?

Ok, great. If it goes down now one has to host it or remember to start it via the command-line. So we're back to square one...

The command-line app is effectively eternal as long as it's mirrored and the runtime interface doesn't change. Can we count on this link to still be there when we need it? Do you know how long most "Show HN" links still

As other comments have pointed out, the tech stack used here is excessive for what it is trying to do. The author has said it was a project to learn some specific technologies. There is a lot of mirth for overcomplicated contraptions muckin

What? Driving with headphones is forbidden where I am. And at minimum you need to be able to hear a carhorn.

Because there is way more to beer than IPAs! There are lagers, hefeweizens, stouts, radlers, and yet the only beer that's stocked in any quantity are the same boring bitter-ass "craft" IPAs. And maybe I just hate watching p

This is really pedantic, but Eureka isn't really directly on the coast either, it sits on the far side of Humboldt Bay and is shielded by an isthmus that is mostly empty land. That said the coast is a 10 minute drive (and maybe 25-30 m

DOOM's health pickups have had the red cross on them, it was released in 1994. DOOM was a widespread cultural phenomenon, at least in the US. Did the Red Cross try to address this at all?

No, unless you are trying to draw conclusions limited to your friends. Similarly, two flats in 10 years might be significant for you and your driving, but not tires as a whole.

> How does sampling theory support that your two experiences might be a trend? I got two flat tires in the last ten years. Does sampling theory say it's a trend? Statewide? Worldwide? I don't run with startup/entrepreneuri

I chose Eureka because I know people there and have direct experience with the town, even if it is an extreme example. If I knew folks and the housing situation in Stockton, or Modesto, or Bakersfield, or even Temecula, or any of those othe

My point is that it is happening, if my anecdata is to be believed, and that sampling theory suggests it might be (or have been) a trend. As a CA native I love my state, but it is also important to understand other perspectives.

Once you are out of the main coastal communities housing prices drop dramatically. I have friends in Eureka renting a gigantic house for like $1200/mo, and I saw studio apartments in the city center in the order of $750/mo. The So

Years ago (2007ish) I worked for a startup owned by a guy that relocated to Reno and had a huge property in some mountaintop country club on the edge of the city line. As we stood in the snow, looking out over Reno (where they had none) he

Most of them. "Ape strong" is a meme and I'd bet the people following it are going to be bagholders if they aren't already because they think a short squeeze is coming. But a short squeeze is always coming, will it ever

So then what is driving price action? How will they reconcile when the crypto doesn't track the actual security?

Only because the protections are there for email viruses. Phishing and spearphishing are still popular attack vectors, so we know people would be susceptible to something like iloveyou if it were to get past other defenses

For lack of a suitable group of friends to LAN with at the time, I learned how to deathmatch by practicing with Reaper bots. (Oftentimes in the very first level with portals to all the episodes... turns out its a pretty good DM map!) They w

I heard a story about people putting small explosives charges in bikes and then leaving them out to be stolen, so that they explode when disassembled. It's a shame that setting traps like this is illegal, it did temporarily lower bike

That's weird, when I was in SF a lot 13 years ago because of my sister studying at SFSU, she was constantly warning not to be flashy or have my wallet visible or even manipulate it in my pocket in a way that could be seen by others. No

From a strictly licensing perspective, why though? As a user, what difference does it make unless you plan on somehow integrating `cp` et al into your source code?

Or maybe people should RTFM This idea that software should always come to us, and not the other way around, is untenable. And, I think, selfish.

But what is that actually saying? It sounds like nothing to me, other than moving the goalposts towards something that only Catholicism (or religion) can provide.
