This was a theme in early Futurama (before it just became another Simpsons). A great example from the pilot is the Star Trek doors that keep closing on Fry.

It's the opposite really! On Gleba, you are subsisting on an infinitely fertile river. On one end, the resources flow for ever and ever. On the other end, the resources burn for ev…

> the best solution is just massively overbuilding all products and burning huge waste piles Yes, you have figured out Gleba! Once you build with this mindset, you will achieve enl…

Trains don't need to be optimal, they just need to be viable. The fun makes them optimal. I think the quality, speed, and belt improvements did enough to return them to this balanc…

Take a look at `2313 NW Military Hwy # 100, San Antonio, TX 78231` This is an intersection I myself felt daunting my first few years driving. It is within Waymo's San Antonio cover…

I was going to comment "audio track names" but it appears that has finally been added, at least on web UI.

This was true of Cable as well.

The entire Marathon trilogy, a 2.5D Bungie FPS with a rich story, is open-source and well maintained for all platforms. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathon_(series)

I have a Synology NAS I can push docker images to. The key is to set up the docker image so it does a git pull on start, that way I just push to Github and restart it. This was _in…

CNN and MSNBC are not propaganda networks in the way that Fox is.

I am going to guess you are 30 or older. Google image search "laptop tasks millennial" to see that this is a feeling shared among our cohort but not the younger cohort.

"blue bubble" here is undersold. It means Apple has anti-competitively broken the experience of speaking with loved ones on purpose if you leave their ecosystem.

Well yeah, I agree, collective action would be actually collective. I'm not gonna try to prescribe something like taxes or infrastructure changes, but stuff like that. You're just …

There are people who recognize there is a problem and would support collective action to fix it, and there are those that don't. As long as you are in the first group, there's noth…

I think you are fairly unique in your inability to listen to audiobooks. I talk with a lot of friends about books and have been in very long-running book clubs. Almost nothing diff…

I appreciate San Antonio being included, but you may want to shift your exact target a bit to be more accurate. Probably over to Fort Sam Houston, but I'm no expert. Right now it l…

Dropout originally only used Vimeo for video distribution. They switched to Vimeo for OTT only after running their own with a team of developers and finding it to be an unexpectedl…

The Zohran model is to not pretend to be someone different, and exclusively focus on what you believe the core problem to be with a few clearly definable solutions (and no slogans)…

I found this VFX breakdown of the recent Superman movie to have a great explanation of what it is and what it makes possible: https://youtu.be/eyAVWH61R8E?t=232 tl;dr eli5: Instead…

I don't think people didn't "pick up" on it, I just don't think anyone thinks it matters. There is no smoke-and-mirrors back-room strategizing here. It looked cool on Fox News. The…

I bought my kids all the songs on Tonie. Now I am buying them all the same songs on Yoto. I can't wait to just start burning CDs again.

Assuming this keeps running, I suppose we just have to wait about a year.

Even before you get to the lacking Admin UI, the first thing Rails asks me to do is implement authentication. Coming from a true batteries-included framework like Django that feels…

Isn't it proposing running like five grocery stores to test? That's not bonkers or radical. Or even expensive. It seems like the type of experiment HN would love.

Not a great example. The 5th (and most recent) Shrek movie has the highest RT of the franchise and is largely considered a masterpiece.
