Thanks for the clarifying the situation. Something did feel a bit off but I didn't want to jump to any premature conclusions. The author has clearly put quite some investment in wr…

Understood. It's reasonable to call out potential conflict while also being unclear on intention. Something as simple in the Keen book author acknowledging the proofreader would pu…

It's often helpful not to immediately assume bad faith without further enquiry. It appears that Fabien had reviewed the book beforehand and he has reposted John Carmack's tweet[1] …

The book's source has verbatim copy and pasted TeX ripped from Fabien's books which was licensed under GPL.

How do you feel about this book mirroring your prior art in both format and structure? Were you consulted beforehand? [EDIT] - I see in the Keen book's source git commit logs that …

It appears the author is leveraging Fabien's branding by copying not only the style of post but more importantly the formatting and style of Fabien's books. Even structurally the b…

Wonderful, thank you for providing this content at no cost. Would there be a description of what new material was added in this version?

This is great, although Google decided there was malware on my iPhone. False positive? After following all the steps it asked, now when logging in to any google service, google thr…

Peter Attia has an interview with Robert Sapolsky that was recently “rebroadcasted” - “ The impact of stress on our physical and emotional health” [1] Highly recommended listening.…

Tavis Ormandy released some patches to get WordPerfect for UNIX (terminal based) to run on Linux [1] Alternatively, WordPerfect 6.2 for DOS running in Wine on Linux (or DOSbox) [2]…

Are they all that bad? [1]. I’d be ok using a few 100gb on my laptop, given that storage is so cheap these days. [1] https://github.com/nat/openplayground

Have you considered a limited LLM that could run locally? > planning a more mellow retreat The objective here is to forcefully going to where internet is impossible (no phone recep…

I’m literally planning to do this in a few days to get some solid focus time in. The thought of the disadvantage of not having an AI model to support already has crossed my mind (n…

This book provided me a real appreciation for the innovative concepts the original UNIX developers came up with so many years ago. Their impact cannot be overstated. Highly recomme…

Can recommend simplewall - only only is it free, it's completely opensource. Works wonderfully - highly recommended.

Hey thanks! There are quite a few static based automated tools that can help as a first run such as https://sisik.eu/apk-tool Perhaps there are opportunities for developing easy to…

Sure! feel free to reach out direct; contact details in my HN profile.

TLDR; purchase an device that pairs with your phone, follow a hunch that it's doing a lot more then what it advertises it does. A week ago I purchased a bluetooth device that takes…

It's on a staging environment - but if it was a production machine it would not be an issue. I have until the end of the week to finish and need to work as fast and effectively as …
