    They did, but the rights expired. GKIDS now has the theatrical and home video rights to Studio Ghibli films in the US (except for Grave of the Fireflies ).

    I had written a comment addressing this as well but you beat me to it. In a way it is similar to the effect StackOverflow had on popular libraries, but amplified. Even without Stac…

    While I do enjoy some popular genres, I'm all too aware of the massive industry behind it all. I believe that most of humanity's greatest works of art were created not for commerci…

    I don't think I would ever sign a non-compete. If a business is afraid of competition, it should seek to differentiate itself so it can stand out from the crowd. Non-competes harm …

    This describes me as well. With the exception of J-pop/anime music, almost all the music I listen to is classical or soundtracks. I connect deeply with the instrumentation, melodie…

    Go already supports an indirection layer, commonly known as vanity URLs. It works by making a request to a domain owned by the project and parsing a meta tag in the response that p…

    That's a nifty option! In (neo)vim, I like to use the ZZ keybinding to quickly save if modified and then quit. If I want to abort the commit, I'll type ZQ to discard changes and qu…

    Ask HN: I'm moving cross-country. Should I look for a remote job or office job?

    I'm a web developer with about 5 years of experience. My wife and I would like to move from rural Western Washington (I work for local government) to Eastern Tennessee to be closer…

    Not all people who subscribe to the definition of marriage as put forth in the Defense of Marriage Act also believe that gay people are subhuman animals.

    I keep Crunchyroll and Hidive for anime, but I've canceled all other streaming services. They just don't have any content I'm interested in anymore.

    I agree, with a good modern dishwasher. My parents have a wonderful Bosch dishwasher that is quiet, efficient, and most importantly, can handle anything you throw at it. Conversely…

    It's called Responsive Design Mode, and it's the third button from the the right on the top bar. Even better, use the shortcut Ctrl-Shift-M, which works even when devtools is close…

    I was specifically looking for this comment. Sites like these are a breath of fresh air in the world of bloated SPAs.

    Cooking may be an art in one sense of the word, but it generally does not communicate a message. Neither does an off-the-shelf cake from a bakery. A custom wedding cake iced with a…

    If you're in the US, check out the Sunbeam F1[0]. It has good MMS support, emojis, and the best T9 I've used on a phone. The OS is a stripped-down version of Android with absolutel…
