StarTech, probably?

How are they supposed to assimilate if they have to leave the country to apply?

This has frustratingly low information density for a technical writeup. The LLM output on the marketing page is whatever, but here it really feels like my time isn’t being respecte…

It starts out alright, and then ends with a pile of classic Claude-isms and an unreadable slop graphic. Like the author got bored of writing it halfway through.

This is already how busybox works. These examples are taking it to a more extreme level but it's not _that_ crazy.

I think this is the most an HN post has ever bummed me out, congratulations I guess.

Sure, that explains vintage cards. I’m more confused about the demand for new ones.

The Pokémon card mania in particular is deeply weird to me. I play Magic at a local card shop a few times a month and it’s always full of people playing Magic, D&D, or various boar…

The user base is the problem on Bluesky, at least for me. It’s full of well-meaning middle-aged people who don’t understand online discussion etiquette. Any non-political post that…

I maintain an RSS reader for work and Cloudflare is the bane of my existence. Tons of feeds will stop working at random and there’s nothing we can do about it except for individual…

I don’t think this is an EFF project, is it? The submitter is just using their Twitter account as an example.

It was. In the last year it’s become largely conservative, and not in a standard reasonable small-government, etc. way. It’s like reading Facebook posts from your dumbest uncle.

What part of Canada? I live in the Seattle area and visited Vancouver for the first time recently, and Vancouver was much visibly worse than Seattle in terms of open drug use and g…

“Inadequate” depends a lot on what you’re doing. I wouldn’t use any of this stuff in a datacenter but for a small business or branch office it’s totally fine.

How good is the pricing at Optic Fusion? I’m always wary of “contact us for a quote”.

Yeah, this is _the_ reason I started using Kagi. The default results aren’t significantly better than Google/Bing/DDG, but being able to block and boost domains is a killer feature…

Police, particularly in big cities, seem weirdly disinterested in doing their jobs. More recently I’ve seen people blame this on polarizing issues like protests or progressive DAs,…

Exactly this. I use other people’s blueprints for balancers because I find those complicated and not particularly interesting, but for everything else I’ve deliberately avoided loo…

This is really sad. NXT-G was my first programming language. Not sure if I’d be the same person I am today without that experience.

Words have meanings. If you call something “full self-driving” you can’t get upset when people assume it means full self-driving.

You’re giving TX way too much credit here. Most of what they were selling was GPL-violating rebranded Atmosphere code with piracy tools preinstalled. They were screwing over the op…

The article touches on this a bit, but I do think lumping straight up disorders like depression together with more “neurodiverse” ones like ASD is the wrong approach. Maybe other p…
