Sigh .. same here. I don't write blog posts often (enough) but the ones I do write are from personal experiences and I take a lot of care with them. I look at my logs snd see bots …

Agreed, and chances are that due to the nature of the event bring reported, we as readers are unable to influence it in sny way. Therefore a couple of weeks delay will make mo diff…

The apparent need by the Media to keep issuing constant updates and then suddenly having to retract the story is very frustrating. Each "update" is usually slighly incremental and …

I have to say that if we're also talking about wild grasses, my wire fox terrier is also a pollinator. He collects an incredible amount of seeds and burrs during his walkies invest…

Very interesting and watchable. Do you differentiate between wars and "conflicts"? There's so many of the latter and everyone seems to avoid the term "war".

Very interesting, and as a Brit living in Yorkshire it only serves to show the massive rail transport infrastructure North of Birmingham. The North/South Divide in action!

I'd say "quality not quantity" but not in this case...

Wasn't this a case of people fitting window-mounted units without realising they needed planning permission first? I'm also in the UK.

WordStar was my first (WP) love and I found it on a CP/M computer which was being used to great effect for all sorts of office things. They later binned the computer for an IBM PC …

That's a real shame given the distance LW could travel: I wonder what they're going to use the frequency band for? I've tried using DAB on so many occasions and thrown it out in di…

"A BOM is available under production" - the subtlety is in the spelling... good fun though!

< that's the nearest I can get an award!

Interesting .. when we first moved to my current house we knew it was a quiet neighbourhood, helped by being set back from the main road. What I wasn't prepared for was the absolut…

As always, there are some very erudite comments here on HN, which is why I like the site so much. My erudite comment, or rather question, is this: why aren't these people using AI …

Fascinating - thanks for sharing!

Umm .. how about a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W powered by a 2000MaH " lipstick style" powerbank?

Now available from my gopher server which gets a lot of traffic for an "obsolete" protocol ;)

In a couple of decades running Linux installations of all flavours, I have never seen anything in lost+found!

Quik is an abomination. I have 3 cameras including the Mission 1 Pro and am satisfied with them. I go on long mucky country dog walks and they've never let me down. Getting the con…

Was that at Microsoft by any chance?

"I see Mr Smith was running in [street/location] when the explosion occurred - we'd better bring him in for questioning". Maybe the Oura doesn't record that, but if they can match …

>I’ve watched engineers use AI to ship in days what used to take a team weeks. Non-technical teams are now shipping production code Good luck to those (human) teams when the briefn…

Great, but what they haven't told you is that they'll probably create a subscription for the buttons. Gotta recoup those R & D costs!
