    Over 40 myself and switched to high school teaching this year. I feel like tech in general has been degrading for a while but 2025 AI really just wiped it out imo.

    I don't think it's in the same ballpark at all. I checked the `/usage` in my session which uses a Max x5 plan. One day I had used $400 of tokens and 20% of my Fable allocation. Ant…

    Everyone has at least one in their pocket right now though.

    I lived on 10th street and 4th avenue for a few years and I used to walk past this house frequently. I love it, and I love Brooklyn and the entire feeling the city has. I miss it s…

    Me too. I can only connect to one of my DO servers. The rest are all unreachable.

    I agree with this a lot, but I would add one thing. I don't think it's deliberate, I think they're just bad managers.

    I agree, and they have no homepage or anything either. Unity was (is) a desktop environment alternative to Gnome. It used to be the default in 16.x but Gnome became the default in …

    It sounds like your contradicting yourself. You say placebos don't work and don't have an effect on anything, but in that example the kiss is the placebo. And then you say the kiss…

    Fixing the bugs is one thing, but identifying that user reported bugs are in fact bugs is an entirely separate issue. The latter takes a ton of time, requires no developers, and is…

    Everything you said is conjecture. This is one of the most baseless and accusatory comments I've read here. It's so low effort and it's immediately transparent that you just don't …

    Doesn't this entire issue corroborate the idea that this ISN'T just about a social media company trying to sell us shit? Two of the issues you mentioned, state run gulags and anthr…

    Ask HN: Is Pinboard abandonware?

    I've been a long-time Pinboard user but noticed a potential problem with the archiving feature. I sent a support request on April 12th but haven't heard anything back. I just sent …

    Yea, it should be: or something. Using elements as class names is insane.

    I've been wishing for this for years. I'd add "tactile keyboard".

    Full screen, non-tactile keyboard is a non-starter IMO.

    It's not hard, and I see 10-20 people per train car on the R going between Brooklyn and Manhattan. I've seen people standing and reading kindles in body-to-body crammed trains.

    Exactly! It's maddening. You can start paying off your CO2 right now. This is a side project of mine: https://earthboost.org

    Is RethinkDB even actively developed anymore? I saw they closed up not too long ago.

    I don't think "tables are back" here, per se. Tables, like any HTML element, are to be used semantically, like for displaying tabular data. They bring a lot of extra, unneeded mark…

    That's what the firewall is for. I set up iptables rules on all machines that only allow fixed IPs on the local network access to specific ports. If you're running it over the publ…
