Imagine how much it must have cost to have him read your comment! I hope he sends you an invoice.

Dang it, sold out :(

Not really. The exercise needed is minimal and the rest is just calorie management. Now having said that it's not easy - simple, and not particularly time consuming yes, but psycho…

I still enjoy some of his later works. James Cameron on the other hand - boggles my mind that he wants to waste his remaining years on that Avatar dreck.

This is definitely a thing. I remember buying the Metallica black album tab book and there was one section in there with a chord that was literally impossible to play as written. I…

I'd be more than happy to take your place on death row.

While I agree self-custody is too onerous for the average person, Coldcard's own documentation had a section on generating secure seeds with dice and why that's more secure. It was…

I found the physical addiction much harder to kick. I switched to no-nicotine e-liquid and felt very little in the way of withdrawals. But months later I was still reaching for a p…

Yeah, now you pay $30 in real shipping to have everything routed through ebay's hub and have your package take three times long to get there.

I was on the web in the late 90s! I don't recall seeing anything like this, although it certainly may have existed. Animated cursors yes (CometCursor!), but not little animations c…

I remember CometCursor and the like, but nothing that chased the cursor itself.

I have loud subwoofers in my car, but they're for my enjoyment. The fact that others might hear them is an unfortunate reality of physics. I try to be considerate in not blasting i…

On the list of extremely annoying things you can put on a webpage, a cat constantly running after my cursor is definitely a new one for me.

My most hated one is not allowing me to right-click to open a context menu, or even worse, making right-click act the same as left-click, redirecting me to some page I never intend…

Ivanhoe is a story about a Russian farmer and his tool.

I used to do this more often, but I find the gap is narrowing a lot. Most of the time I find I don't save enough to justify getting it in two weeks over 1 day.

Yup. My house is 50 years old and a townhome. I was killing 3-4 mice a week at one point! Got the entry points sealed and it's down to 2-3 a year. Will probably never get it down t…

I never really saw them until I started working around Vanier. Seen some huge colonies near dumpsters.

Yeah, without sealing entry points, they just keep coming. Not only can they can squeeze through tiny holes, they leave a trail of pheromones behind them letting other mice know wh…

People are not generally answering interview questions based on instinct, but rather based on what they think the interviewer wants to hear to get the job. I would have interpreted…

It's ridiculous because LLMs are far more capable. There was just a thread on HN the other day where multiple people shared experiences being able to decrypt, reverse engineer, and…

I'm not saying LLMs will replace software developers, but this is such a ridiculous analogy that it hints to me that you've never seriously tried the latest tools.

I did this with my aftermarket Quest 3 headset strap. Added a few counterweights to the back to keep it from sliding down on my face. It is indeed much more comfortable.

Why not both?
