its like how 30 years ago when people would numblessly flip through hundreds of cable channels for hours, but with endless tailored content and extra dopamine shots on top from soc…

Now I'm getting a nice "Bag Gateway" error message, but 5min ago it was returning an ugly lb generated 503

Apparently the whole scene was a single spline. Assuming it was indeed a single RT render take, its definitely a jaw dropping demo. Curious to learn if this turns out to be just va…

Many businesses already have WhatsApp as the exclusive channel of communication. So its either have a Meta account, or become locked out of a subset of services. Not to mention how…

Midjourney to me feels like bowling with bumpers Sure, its very easy to get good results fast, but the tuning that avoids "uglier" images is the same that removes a lot of versatil…

Yes, in theory around 40% -> 50%, with it fluctuating over time. However in practice imported electronics tend to cost up to about 100% then their original price abroad for several…

In case you are into self-hosting, although Mealie's ( https://mealie.io ) main feature is recipes, it also has a meal planner.

Indeed, I stand corrected. Also, TIL that Dune and Dune II were both released in the same year (1992) by two different studios with different genres, with the latter eclipsing the …

Technically it didn't, it was more of an RTS game while 4X tends to be more complex and last longer, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4X#Complexity Although it was indeed a great…

Travel less affordable to some, housing more affordable to others.

You mentioned Amsterdam as a location, but I didn't find anything in the "Disney Streaming Services" listings. Am I missing something?

I find it useful for: * Discoverability, in case you work in a company with thousands of repos * Having discussions with multiple participants over a merge request * Sometimes for …

This. Why on earth would an organization invest resources in a productivity tool which is by design optimized to make you procrastinate?

Agreed. If I understood correctly, the recent experiment possibly indicated that socio-economical factors can influence more the future "success" of a subject than other variables,…

Don't really agree with most comments trashing this hypothetical deal, bringing up the Skype precedent. Its been what, 2 years since the Linked-in and Xamarin acquisitions? Nothing…

"Now, the good news here is that these problems aren’t necessarily rocket science." "If you had asked me, when I got started with Facebook, if one of the central things I’d need to…

Why wouldn't it be? It's faster than the tram; a bike is cheap and cycling is free; its way easier to park than a car; its healthy; there are cycle paths everywhere (inside and bet…

I agree. However, not everyone is convinced of such faults. There is still a considerable part of the current political movements that still believe that: a) neoliberal democracy i…

I like to compare Rand's work with Marx's. When I read the "Communist Manifesto" and - part of - "The Capital", I was impressed by Marx's critique of capitalism. Most of his hypoth…

I can't recommend "Amusing Ourselves to Death" enough, especially in the light of the most recent election processes the world is witnessing. Neil Postman's thesis is both timely a…

I couldn't agree more. Breaking objectives/goals in small tasks, and then transforming such small tasks in habits works very well for me. I recommend habitica.com as a tool for suc…

Congrats, great concept and delivery! As feedback, I'm noticing that some thumbnails for specific types of urls (e.g. PDF's and Ask HN) aren't being generated correctly, and just g…

Well, I can't speak for tooling or productivity comparison to C/C++, but Rust has one of the best programming language documentations I have ever had the pleasure of reading [1]. […

Out of curiosity, if you are such a OS X/homebrew fan, why not try a Hackintosh setup? I don't know if you can get a dual-boot working well with OS X, but worst case scenario you c…

When Extra Credits "Propaganda Games" video came out about a year ago[1], I was relived when I read that "Sesame Credit" was a complete fabrication, and even questioned EC for post…
