A few of my favorites: There's a set of string lights in my apartment that were left installed when I moved in. They look pretty nice and they provide decent illumination in an are…

#55 is 20 Jazz Funk Greats , and I thought it was suggesting that (industrial noise group) Throbbing Gristle would be good programming music. However, it just looks like that's jus…

To piggyback off of your comment on escolar, the article's description of toothfish being passed off as Chilean sea bass is also rather misleading. "Chilean sea bass" is just a mar…

Does this assume that the keyboard is qwerty, or is it able to identify typing patterns regardless of the keyboard layout? I use Dvorak and I couldn't get any of the demos to work …

And for the $2000 MSRP of the OP-1 Field you could buy a brand new 13" MacBook Pro, an Ableton Live Standard 11 license, a Scarlett Solo audio interface, an M-Audio Keystation 49 U…

The choice of state symbols is really interesting. I like the orange with the silhouette of Florida. I also really like how New Hampshire's license plate depicts the state's iconic…

Does anybody know if it's possible to watch the entire movie anywhere? It looks like Milestone Films did a 4k restoration in 2019 but the link to watch it doesn't seem to work any …

When I first read this I was 100% on the author's side, but after visiting CookUnity's site I have some reservations. Unless CU changed their website since this was posted (which w…

Their IPO was just a couple weeks ago.

This is a neat idea, but I feel like an iPad Pro is overkill for accessing a virtual desktop. You could set up something similar with an old laptop for a fraction of the price.

I don't know if I'm a super taster, but I am a huge fan of other beverages, alcoholic or not. I collect Scotch, rare beers, meads, and I used to help organize a liquor tasting/shar…

To expand on what you're saying, there's a big difference between "I don't like X" and "X is bad". I've never been much of a wine person. It's not without trying. I've had everythi…

I honestly can't believe there's a front page Hacker News post about Perplex City today. I was literally searching for cards on eBay last night. I would love to see a game like Per…

I'm a mid-level engineer making half that. Please point me towards these entry-level jobs that are offering $200k.
