This feels like an example of a company trying to do the "right thing" and deciding there must be a way to monetize that, regarding what everyone (even the web) is telling them. Im…

I didn't even realise mIRC worked on 3.11, wow! It was my first introduction to programming in a way. It makes me wonder if adding something akin to the script editor you had in mI…

If you're a bit stable yourself (& used to skateboard yourself), try long-boarding (4 year old in front of you with plenty of protection, there's enough space on a standard longboa…

I'm not sure how new the trend is, but it's called gitmoji ( https://gitmoji.dev/ ) and there's also tooling to make committing/searching for the "correct" emoji easier :D Whatever…

My wife (mainly, my role has been system user/devops) wrote a custom angular UI on top of grocy for managing our household stock (basically any product we buy at grocery stores), t…

That's an interesting point you're making. I wonder what the policy is regarding the questions people ask an LLM and the developers behind the service reading through the questions…

It says on all posts on that blog: Please do not post this article to Hacker News. Which I think should be respected :) even though it's awesome content!

With all the recent articles about sand running out (from rivers), microplastics, global warming, bugs dying... it sounds like we're screwing the earth big time. While I'm not the …

I'm still in my 20's, but I do need at least 5-6h of sleep to perform well the next day. Powernaps like i0nutzb suggests work for me too, but I wonder, are you anywhere near produc…

I love that they are bringing something like Cortana to the desktop. Ever since I saw Her [1] I wanted something like that, something that takes away the need to look at my smartph…

> If your ears hurt or are annoyed, stop. I'd say it's more from the pushing on the sides of my head, not so much from the volume of the music. But you are right, and I have been t…

I don't often go to clubs or places in general with loud music, but I play music trough earbuds/headphones to shut out distracting noises around me. And I guess to get "in the zone…

That would have been too good to be true, haven't even thought about that! I remember way back I was trying to make a cheap wifi-powered box with a display that could play short vi…

This was an interesting read, but what to me personally is more interesting is how to prevent hearing loss over the years. I might be wrong on this, but I recall a hearing speciali…

It's not the box, but a small plastic enclosure with some very cheap electronics (I believe they even used a led as a light sensor) and the battery lasts very very long. I wouldn't…

What made the difference for me was a Vim version with a project/file drawler, like the one by alloy: https://github.com/alloy/macvim After a while I got fluent enough with vim to …

I wonder if it would be able to make it work with mosh ( http://mosh.mit.edu/ ), which would be awesome!

I don't know how it's over on the iOS devices, but with my Macbook/android setup I use mysms for texts, WiFi keyboard for long passwords and couple.me for texting with my girlfrien…

Awesome slides, even having very little experience with EmberJS and React it explained very well what Reach does and is, and why I would want to use it, better than most tutorials …

I can't remember the exact article, but if I recall correctly there was a blog post by Derek Sivers [1] how at CDBaby he entered similar albums manually by listening to them all (I…

Offer end-to-end encryption could be solved using a javascript library which encrypts/decrypts the secret in the browser, and passing the key behind a #, kind of the way mega.co.nz…

Thanks! Didn't knew about this, or just read over it. I'm mostly using ansible for learning how to use it, don't have huge clusters yet to manage. Most of the hosts I have come fro…

One of the things that got me into ansible was simply doing ansible all -i ./ansible_hosts -m command -a "cat /etc/issue" From there I started going trough the possible options I c…

It's fairly easy, feel free to email me if you have questions. Though I've noticed a modpack wich fancy things really adds to the experience (playing with my younger brother and si…

I'd love to hear where you are hosting that server. I currently have a tekkify [1] private server running with some additional mods such as Forestry and currently the world folder …
