You are going in the right direction, but boy will this thing need work. The index is lacking, that's for sure. Try scawanging for bookmarks of HN users for a jumpstart. I searched…

Sherlock I love spotting those patterns were when something goes popular somewhere, instantly suspiciously related topics start pooping up on HN.

I admit to being rude and to being a very bad builder myself. But the article is bad. Just about every piece of evidence has some sort of issue. Correlation-causation, or not enoug…

Author: Applying behavior of wolves in captivity to humans was a mistake. Also Auther: Applies behavior of wolves in free environment to a very specific and complex part of human s…

There is a story about Concorde chasing a solar eclipse for an hour. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_Concorde_eclipse_flight

Pro (Newbie) tip: use a GUI for git (like lazygit or VS Code Source Control). Git is one of the few complicated CLI tools that actually works well as a GUI, so take full advantage …

I use navi cheatsheets for that. You can store commands with descriptions and easily execute them. This is where I put all the "will need only once a year" commands. What I do goog…

Looks cool. I suspect the software is doing a lot of the heavy lifting, because the mechanism is (looks) quite simple. Here are some flaws/potentially misleading features I noticed…

e. Raycast doesn't know what the e constant (2.71828) is. Their entire calculator is crappy. It took them forever just to get scientific notation and inverse trig functions working…

Application launchers should be terminal emulators. I am a huge fan of Spotlight, Raycast, Albert, etc. But they all have some kind of problem, like not being on that platform, or …

Fortunately, computer science and every single other discipline, topic, and community doesn't chronically suffer from the exact same issue. If you know anybody or anything that kno…

Cool. Does anybody have the same tool but better? Like, surely someone already made a sandbox that is not a fullblown VM. Docker probably.

Wouldn't that need to be the sheep with the closest distance to all the other sheeps in London?

1. Don't. Get better at googling instead 2. CSSTricks 3. Learn to read MDN docs. 4. Flexbox froggy and grid garden 5. Hyperplexed (older videos) I warn you, that "studying" CSS is …

There is "SingleFile"[0][1] and a tool called "Monolith"[2]. Of course Ctrl+S works quite well too. [0]: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/single-file/ [1]: https://ad…

Why does this feel more like an advertisement for Webrecorder[0] than an actual guide? Why add that privacy and big tech section at the end? Thanks for the list of features and buz…

2. Maybe assign a different deletion key for robot. 3. https://awik.io/detect-tab-closed-show-confirmation-dialog-j...

Damn, that was fast. More feedback: 1. Make L texture look better by by shifting the arrow origin up and left. Like the turn traffic sign. 2. I am deleting my robots now, when I am…
