> The current climate around seems very sudden. Is it? Grievances against big tech - over issues like the stupendous amount of money being created for very few, and the damage bein…

Conversely, I once had a very large yard for a suburban home, about a third of an acre. I sectioned my yard into about 5 sections, but I mowed pretty much the same way: whatever li…

> Also: subscription fatigue is real. This. I just went and cancelled a bunch of vampire subscriptions that had accrued in my life (both in and out of the Apple ecosystem) and ende…

To add on to this: if you're a "guy" still trying to feel out some really confusing feelings, playing a vixen online allows you to explore those feelings without it impacting your …

Nest thermostats. They were an endless source of frustration for me.

> I've known I was gay since high school, probably even earlier, but I kept choosing whatever seemed like the easiest path. Just so you know, you're not alone here. Mine was a bit …

I mean, it's a hobby? It doesn't necessarily have to have a point other than to enrich your existence.

My Mastodon feed has a very "early to mid 2000s LiveJournal friends page" feel to it, and I honestly adore this.

I'll add my voice to others here that this is a huge problem especially for small hobbyist websites. I help administer a somewhat popular railroading forum. We've had some of these…

Three jobs ago I worked for a company that did e-learning systems for industrial clients. This was roughly 2004. One of the company owner's many ideas was a technical documentation…

My day-to-day work now is mostly Python and Vue, but PHP was my bread and butter for almost 20 years and to this day probably still probably one of my favorite languages just becau…

Just wanted to say thank you for this service. I have a little homebrew clock I build from a Raspberry Pi and a small display in my bathroom. Below the time, it displays the weathe…

Exactly what I'm doing. I even set it up as a separate binary sensor using a template.

At my last job, when I first started there (this was circa around 2006), we actually used a Firefox browser plugin with a custom XUL interface to enable our writers to write conten…

> Another problem is that programmers specialize at being good at programming, but things like documentation and UI testing are their own disciplines that are separate and distinct…

This is what I did to control an DeLonghi electric oil radiator in my home office. And since it takes a couple hours to warm up, I have it connected to Home Assistant to turn on a …

I was not prepared for my food tastes to change! I used to love candy. But now I’m rarely drawn to it, but I will absolutely INHALE fruit. It has so much incredible depth of flavor…

You can do whatever you like. Many do, and are totally happy about that. Note, again, I am talking about one specific "type" of gender dysphoria, social dysphoria. There are usuall…

I can't speak for other trans women, but is kind of how I describe my experience with this. And this is from someone who is a later-transitioner, talking about this specific type o…

I miss VB6 so much. For rapidly prototyping an idea, I have yet to find anything that was as good as VB6. Drag a button, write code. Want to change things about the button? Use pro…

WDE! Ugh, yeah, some of those hallways especially in 1st and 4th quadrants where there aren't very many classrooms and not many people can have a very, very liminal space feel to t…

What a fun surprise to see this on HN! I had the opportunity to work the Foy Desk a few times during my undergrad at Auburn in the early 2000s - mostly as a volunteer while the reg…
