The Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri manual was a personal favorite of mine.

I’ve developed iOS and Android apps, store approvals are always a crap shoot, and it’s not just approvals, it’s paperwork… sudden rejections over something that was fine months ear…

This administration just flushes taxpayers dollars down the toilet.

Yes, I can, it doesn’t change my observation.

There’s lots of cynical takes to answer that, but I honestly think that often regulators and people writing / pushing laws just don’t know any better….

It’s also a game and I’m not a scientific survey… If anything, maybe the disagreement about what is or isn’t safe says a lot to begin with.

I wish there was a good option, at the same time I recognized that I look at my phone as a tool… and I have very very little interest in spending time messing around to make it wor…

Yes. I get the background story but the response to a very specific thing seems sudden regardless.

We’ve been building data centers for many decades without problems. I used to service equipment at some in my area. Many had big chunks of green space around them, very desirable t…

Man I got a “clothing brand” last night on YouTube of a VERY young girl wearing… not much, and it didn’t fit well in all the wrong / revealing places… Reported the add but damn You…

My phrase is that Microsoft's software feels like it is POINTED AT ME to make me do / jump through whatever hoops they want first. Me getting things done is an afterthought. It's n…

How do you not get one right?

Works for me in another browser.

The logging of just everyday activity is interesting. Visit a store, what door they went in. If some folks had a meal together. God forbid you make acquaintance of someone who make…

Coding, graphics, all seem to have very defined background data for an LLM to base their decisions on, test, and even when I correct it we're all on the same page. Seems like there…

Had to edit the original title just a bit to fit HN's limits. Original title: "A teen was killed at a Seattle protest. New video evidence shows what really happened"

It’s all just a bunch of childish short term thinking. Granted this administration doesn’t care as long as they get theirs. They just blame anyone else as things come and go.

Amazon Prime app, the search is now AI search, I’m looking for an exact title but I have to make extra clicks to so something simple.
