The Amiga had support for this in circa 1985. You could play 2-player competitive lemmings which was a game like nothing I've seen since.

Are you familiar with https://pi-hole.net/ ? In my house I want DNS resolution to be performed by my own DNS resolver ( https://github.com/NLnetLabs/unbound ), after I block ad dom…

What? Capitalism is just fine without the artificial notion of copyright. We can pay labourers for their time producing works. We don't need pay-per-copy.

> I don't base my choice on what media to absorb on superficial criteria like the country of origin Other countries, including the USA, advertise and hype their own content. Your p…

This is the deliberate reason why this TLD exists. ICANN sold out the internet.

If my house had a pest problem, I would need to hire an expert in pest-control. I need to do that without being an expert myself. How should anyone be able to hire someone with mor…

What's the sour taste -- what's the problem? Like, what's wrong with being interviewed by someone with less experience than you?

I know, but they don't. Outside of creative tech/art spheres, most people don't know much of anything about copyright, and telling them about "works expiring into the public domain…

Most people I know don't have any concept that copyright does or should expire. They think if Disney makes a movie, it's Disney's movie forever.

You moved the goalpost from "in-depth conversation" to "order a cheese burger".

Adobe didn't create Flash. They bought out Macromedia.

With interface-typing, is there a right way to use the type system to declare "this function takes a (statically-certifiable) positive integer", not because it would fail to output…

I'm not sure if this counts, but where I run into this sort of problem it's with conventional methods/operators, like `operator+`. I've had lots of bugs over the years from somethi…

Using synthesizer hardware is a joy of an experience.

Could you share your model for this? How well does it work? I've considered doing the same. The set of laptops I'm willing to run non-macOS on is limited by the set of laptops that…

Love this! Unrelated, but reminds me of another story featuring Chess and a Duck, and also relevant to the HN audience, which relates to the old videogame Battle Chess: https://bwi…

"selfie"? Video-calls are especially normalized now, since the pandemic. My family and friends use video-calls more often than voice-only calls now.

"Do not track me" IS the reasonable default expectation of user intent, to be fair.

Is that not ego? "We're better than a cab". It would be ego-less if they called it CabApp or something.

Is it better to work at Google that has all your emails and search history?

Veering off topic but I absolutely hate that git requires you to have an "email address" (which cannot be empty and iirc must satisfy some regex criteria for a valid-looking addres…

So, what are some decent alternatives?

Not the parent and not sure what s/he meant, but one could imagine software that borks when there are invalid (but nonobvious) characters in the filename, for example. Or file perm…
