There’s a long way between NW >100 million and making 60K EUR. Maybe if they taxed NW >100 million, you wouldn’t need a 50% tax on work.

Good advice about not enjoying a book and putting it down isn’t a failure on your part. Same for the part about reading multiple books. This blocked me for a while, if I decided to…

This is just incorrect with a way too small set of websites. Their estimates are more than double. However, that is if you take all websites into account. If you only take the most…

According to the dutch public health institute, the longer the tick is in the body, the bigger the chance of transmission. Early removal also does not prevent lyme, it just reduces…

I’m not obese or overweight and while my main meals (breakfast and dinner) are generally very healthy - I can still eat a lot of trash (ultra processed)food as snacks. I’m sure tha…

Sounds like communication between departments sucks. If IT develops for them, you’d expect there to be a feedback loop?

I think a trust system is the only way. Ladybird will need new/different maintainers at some point in the future. How are you going to find them now? I don’t disagree with their ch…

I’ve used Vaultwarden for at lesst 7 years, I’m sure for longer but I’m not sure how long. Never had an issue with Vaultwarden itself. Restored from backups several times for a var…

Sounds a bit like Mitchell Hashimoto’s Vouch: https://github.com/mitchellh/vouch

> This is about research, science research in particular. "Preparing for the workforce" is not the point here (and arguably should not really be the point of education in general, …

I think the same every time I read this, but at one point it has to give, right? Nothing is going well and economically the population is feeling it. I imagine this can’t go on muc…

I don’t think it is. If we can then also ensure the US stops meddling in international affairs, we can all be happy!

I highly doubt the creators for the show are actually combining The Matrix and Blade Runner. It just seems the author is hallucinating nonsense. The Matrix took inspiration from Ne…

I do gundog training. When I started with our first dog I did not expect to enjoy it that much. It’s hard to express how much it takes mentally and physically, and the bond you bui…

Sounds fun! Do you have resources to get started? I do gundog work, it would be fun to do the tracking together with the dog. (I don’t hunt, it would just be to make some walks mor…

Really fun! I used to do it too, and I miss it. How do you combine it with work? Where I live in NL, there are few days where I’m able to go kiteboarding and I probably won’t know …

Software updates exist, I’m sure they could support it if they wanted to. Ed25519 isn’t so new that the hardware wouldn’t be capable.

I mostly write Go code (and have barely had to write any code myself in the past months), but today I had to do some work in a Java project and Claude Code was a terrible experienc…

But AI can fix the bugs, so they won't need me either!

> Why? Because the bottleneck was never typing code. It was always understanding the problem, making architectural decisions, debugging edge cases, and most importantly - knowing w…

They point in opposite directions because they’re not measuring the same things. Google is measuring where on the road most hard braking events happen. Insurers measure who is havi…

What do you want to do in a playbook that requires it to be tested? We keep our roles very simple and they will not do anything complicated. Ansible is for configuring a machine, t…

Jellyfin has Swiftfin, I’ve been using it for a few years now. There are some small bugs that you can work around. The rework to the new version has been in progress for about two …

While I get their setup is amateurish, it's also a good reminder of how simple setups can be. Saying this on HN, of course.

> So their theory is incomplete as of yet. That's not good. I hard disagree. Your comment to me reads as if a paper should either prove a new theory or disprove an existing theory.…
