Can't talk about Tim Follin and not talk about Plok! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peuTnilEv9g Feels very proto-Hotline Miami to me

I love reading your guys's code releases, always some interesting zig stuff in there! Wish you were hiring in Europe :)

> How about being able to replace the main battery myself, in my home, without trashing the entire fu*king phone? You can already do this, either getting the parts/tools thru Apple…

I like the rOtring 800 because it's heavy in my hand but the actual lead-on-paper "feel" is extremely smooth. Contrast depends entirely on the lead you put into the pencil. For max…

Since you're into pencils, have you tried the Pentel GraphGear? Or, my personal favorite, the Rotring 800?

I've followed the development for the past year, I really want one, but €400 + €25 for shipping is too much for me, at least right now. I'm hoping they don't only do a limited run …

I had way too much fun with this during my backlog refinement meeting. Amazing project, well done!

> Perhaps we need to create a new degree program for, among other things, interpreting and reporting on press releases such that extremely basic facts and terms of art aren't mixed…

> I suggest this binary positioning is a very American phenomenon I really don't think so. Binary thinking is something I've personally noticed and thought about for a while, and I…

Fahrenheit 451 is a classic! I last read it in high school though, I definitely need to give it another go

What about the story appeals to you? When were you first introduced to the story?

While many enjoy those non-fiction technical reads, there's more to life than that! What other (i.e. fiction) books does the HN community like? My personal favorite is definitely C…

I haven't seen Mattermost [0] mentioned by anyone here, especially considering it's open-source and you can self-host. Admittedly, it has been a while since I've done some research…

I've only skimmed some the paper, but does it distinguish between _types_ of anime fans? I think the people the non-fans are probably thinking of are more likely "weeaboos", or peo…

Looks extremely cool, I could see myself picking this up when it comes out to take to work with me. My only concern (like others) is the rotary dial. I like it, but it would be gre…

I've had a bit of a similar experience in reference to the mundane. As a kid, I absolutely hated doing the dishes or laundry (as most kids do). However, around when I turned 19 I s…

> Interesting to note the lack of 'accountability' forced on him in this case however. He got banned from all Academy events for 10 years

This reminds me of Floors [0], an app where you could scan hand-drawn platforming levels on graph paper. I was only 12 or so, but I had so much fun with that thing. Unfortunately i…

As far as I'm aware Valve does use ML (called VACnet) to detect cheaters. At the time of the GDC talk[0] it was only implemented for CSGO but it could've expanded since then [0] ht…

Sad to see them go, but at least the archive will be there. Eater has quite a good collection of long form articles on food and culture, if that's your thing. https://www.eater.com…

I usually have a max of 2 windows open with anywhere between 4 and 9 tabs open. We do exist!

I believe they're talking about Rust's performance vs C/C++, but I could be wrong
