This is true. I was hoping my educated guess of the outcome would minimize the possibility of anyone attempting this. And yet, here we are - the only losing strategy in the technol…

Very unusual comment. I do not think so as the chance of constructing a fleshy eldritch horror is quite high.

I found this interesting. On both the Chrome blog and this EFF post, there is a quote from AdGuard CTO Andrey Meshkov. One of the quotes is favorable/neutral toward Google, while t…

Too difficult, some are actually both! Try searching for Yamaha FX-1, it is both a home organ and a jet ski.

Correct me if I'm wrong but (1+i)^2 = 2i is false? I thought it is = (i^2)+2i+1

An excellent software project, preservation is a personal favorite ;). I had a look over the blog and GitHub project - but I have one important question that I could not find an an…

This is referred to as "Gut-wrenching scream". Apologies in advance for the fandom.com link, I know the site is cluttered. There is valuable research here though: https://soundeffe…

i'd say the overlap between hn readers and avid music listeners isn't too large. but there are also a few other instances of memento mori: see the Apple Music radio playlist hosted…

iOS 10 is definitely not 10 years old but it is nearing 6 years. For the iOS ecosystem, even iOS 13 is kinda old.

If you somehow stumbled onto this post, check here instead!: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30071442 It links to the actual Google post and has more comments. Guess I was too…

Needs work on mobile. But I'm already having a blast :) reminds me of windows93.net, but with different features

Slowdive and Beach House both have pages on Bandcamp. They're pretty popular though so sorry if you already knew this.

Aside from various coats of paint, the Chrome tab UI is still the same. Which I'm thankful for. Firefox has gone through a few redesigns lately; Australis, Photon, and Proton (late…

Also curious how far progress is on reversing the Apple NVMe SSDs. Last I heard, Linux couldn't properly install itself on modern Macs, only do liveboot.
