    I played sopwith for many hours when I was ~4 years old. One of the best early PC games.

    Hegseth is a crusader more than he's a bringer of Armageddon. Unfortunately, there are plenty of christian Zionists in the administration who do indeed want to bring about Armagedd…

    WTF are you even talking about? Be specific rather than spewing vague political smears.

    Valid points, not sure why you were down-voted.

    That's actually kind of brilliant.

    The police almost never use any available evidence to exonerate anyone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-7o9xYp7eE

    Maybe the fighter jets switched to a different kind of fuel and are now producing hotter exhaust.

    His other book, "1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus"¹ is also excellent. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1491:_New_Revelations_of_the_A...

    UDP rules for this sort of thing. Art-net sounds very similar to OSC¹ and that's a good thing. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Sound_Control

    Literally typing is definitely part of the fun for me. I’m a mechanical keyboard nerd though so that might explain a lot. Beyond the typing though, I find enjoyment in perfecting t…

    There are notable games missing from that list. Unrailed 2, for example, which is, in my opinion, one of the best games ever created. I am not even a avid gamer and I recognize sev…

    Cost of living has risen dramatically everywhere. Unless you live in a small town in a poor state like I do then 85K sounds pretty bad. That's barely above the poverty line at this…

    Do you really think that unrestricted internet access is equivalent to giving children one of the most addicting and deadly drugs around?

    I think 13+ is an appropriate age to view explicit content. No matter how hard you try to prevent it, kids are going to be exposed to things. By the age of 13 or 14, like it or not…

    I've seen enough of tiktok (and youtube, and facebook) to understand that there are extreme levels of manipulation happening. I think it's just as harmful to adults as it is to tee…

    At one point there was an attempt to form a new terminal emulator extensions working group, however, last time I checked it seemed to have been abandoned a few years ago.

    I've been wanting this for a long time, however, it would be really great to have some kind of standard so that multiple terminals might eventually implement the functionality. Eve…

    I played weed smoke willie for way longer than I should admit. Stopped after something like $40k.

    The internet shock sites existed back when I was a teenager. I was exposed to those things. It didn't damage me any, as far as I can tell. Not to mention there were always things l…

    It's not that far fetched to assume that someone could be in physical danger after ruffling the feathers of a company that has hired a union busting firm. Union Busters have a long…

    The data centers that already exist are one thing, creating a lot of new ones isn't necessary simply to continue supporting hacker news traffic. These new data centers are entirely…

    This seems pretty useful. Just curious, why is it necessary to load entire files into memory (let alone twice?) - seems like not that much extra work (for claude) to stream the fil…
