Can you give a little more detail how you execute these steps? Is there a specific tool you use, or is it simply different kinds of prompts?

I've started using org-mode couple of years ago, and write documents using the basic features like headers and formatting, links between docs, and code sections, but still haven't …

I read Harper's Magazine for years without knowing who was behind it. The mixture of literary criticism, political analysis and in-depth reporting Lapham shaped was hard to top in …

Rich tech workers? I would really like to know where you get that impression from.

Pessimism is believing that there is no possible positive future for humanity. I don't get how rejecting one option is the same thing. How, again, rejecting one option due to clear…

What I also find interesting and revealing is how surprised they are when others find their vision of the future (the near and the far) scary and dystopic, and challenge them. I us…

The ticket controllers were really the worst for a while, fortunately they fired the previous company and started running their own people. There was one poor guy who got beaten to…

This is why there is a paid app that gives you summaries of books everyone is talking about so that you don't have to read them but also won't be left out. For most popular books t…

I remember a colleague attaching a screenshot of the text of a JIRA ticket to a ticket, and setting the ticket text to "read the text in the screenshot". Turns out JIRA crashed whe…

Isn't [2] what happens in Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis? Postman is drunk every day at work, and his new boss thinks he's got a drinking problem. Turns out he gets served, or even forc…

When I google for "koka effekt" I get pages in German about the effects of cocain. They should maybe reconsider the "Koka" part of the project name?

That is rather incredible. "Let us put a tray for an intensely hot object on this security-crucial hardware, because people are so addicted to it".

I'm sincerely sorry that my comment on a totally unrelated topic has led to such comments; if I had known that someone would bring up a supposed similarity with LGBTQ struggles I w…

What makes you come to the conclusion that they would "commit atrocities"? On the one hand there is constant and widespread violence perpetrated against the LGBTQ, on the other the…

There's a difference though: You were talking about them, and not some public figure you are supposed to be following. When you are talking about me to my face, I'd really like you…

If Muslims are not OK with their religion and its figures being talked about in ways that are not within the rules of their religion, they shouldn't bring it up, and we should act …

This is also my impression after reading Isaacson's biography and Creativity, Inc. At Pixar, he behaved like a feudal lord because he pretty much owned the place and they relied on…

There was a time when I got used to eating a big plate of fries with my normal lunch (the student canteen at the university where I studied was just phenomenal), and after a couple…

Nah it's still startup, just capitalized like any other noun.

Thanks for those two links. I'm in the exact same place as the OP, and would love to start something of my own, but I have only technical skills, meaning all my startup ideas are f…

Very sorry to hear about your father's illness, and how the situation was made even the worse by such brazen disrespect for user experience. My parents also have to regularly go th…

I'm wearing a W-800H since quite a while, and it feels like an updated F91W. Strap doesn't break, improved lighting, 4 buttons instead of 3 so that you can adjust it in the dark, b…

I so wish this were true (and seeing it at the top of HN would make you believe it were true), but my experiences in the last 6 years or so with 4 different laptops speaks otherwis…

The serene joy I get from watching this film with my kids is comparable to nothing. The scene where the parents are turned into pigs is a bit taxing on them, but even that has beco…
