Ryan, take your pills.

On imgcat, those extensions to the xterm protocol[0] seem really nice. I've long thought that there needs to be a simple escape sequence for a horizontal divider that doesn't break…

Why is Discord always ignored in discussions of slack alternatives? It's literally a slack clone. Are you all just put off by the marketing or the fact that it's not exclusively us…

Wait, what was your point here? That women actually are wonderful?

I was just about to ask HN to come up with some communication devices using only ancient technology. Although your rubber duck system would require less manpower than a system of s…

This isn't even a strange adapter, I'd be surprised if this didn't exist. Why not get excited about cassette tape to 3.5mm adapters (very real and also very useful)?

If I were feeling pedantic I'd mention the universities of Oxford, St Andrews, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Aberdeen... As well as a handful in Spain and Portugal ;)

>This was the last straw that made me delete the app and my account entirely a few years ago. Why not just disable notifications, or just uninstall the app without deleting your ac…

I wish to share the world's foremost authority on chairs, Bryan Ropar https://youtube.com/channel/UCAajKTeS-mCS3PccJUrrIzw

Yeah, I'm sure that kind of thing could be shared privately by email between the relevant parties

It's worth mentioning that nearly every board on 8chan IS moderated, by the board owners. Its exactly the same as the Reddit model, paid admins only enforce the few site wide rules…

{} would at least be consistent with python string substitution, but [] doesn't make much sense to me

Have you ever tried to seek treatment for depression? I and others I know have found it incredibly hard to get any sort of treatment other than the SSRI at the top of their list.

An alternative would be to throttle your network speed to like 2g with your dev tools, although this will obviously effect, say, YouTube more than HN

4chan partially solved this problem by using inside knowledge to identify 'newf*gs' and push them out. Triforce, fingerboxes, etc. The weirdly complex boardculture was self sustain…

I recently split a restaurant bill with 7 other early-twenty-somethings. I think 5 of us had Monzo (making things much easier). They have been immensely successful among the younge…

I recently saw this mock up of a DE done in Unity[0]. Maybe not the best use case but interesting nonetheless. I've long dreamt of putting together an intuitive CAD tool equivalent…

I can assure you the YouTube rabbit hole is still there. I am constantly recommended right wing, feminist b& type vids

You make a good point, although I think it's pretty clear that ReactOS cheated. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/07/03/reactos_windows_res... What about open sourcing, say, windo…

Perhaps hubristic is an unfair description. As far as I know Sacks was treating patients with L-DOPA on a hunch, based on the surface similarities if their symptoms with Parkinson'…

It seems like most of his grievances are with macOS and not his monitor. For a long time I've been using tiling WMs (currently awesomeWM) and I could never go back. Yes there is a …

Doesn't mention the mysterious sleeping sickness epidemic of the early 20th century [0]. I learned of it through Oliver Sacks' writings. Survivors were afflicted by a permanent neu…

I was actually chatting to some friends about this the other day. I personally would love to go skydiving but I wouldn't get sponsored for it because it isn't actually hard. Unlike…

Bear in mind that you wouldn't do a jump for charity if you wanted to it anyway. Their usual clientele would probably be very fit and young, whereas charity jumpers would be more l…

I personally have paid money for no bullshit mobile games, and I know there are at least a few million people like me. Why is that hard to believe?
