Didn’t the Jellyfin project lead and some other core founders quit this week?

Should anything more complicated than what could be automated with a paper ScanTron form really be subject to automated grading anyway?

>How should using processes not used at home make something harmful? Well, for starters - the refined sugars, carbohydrates and oils that seem to be the main culprits behind the ob…

That's not just AWS. That's Amazon generally. All Amazon orgs I've worked for have been like this, and due to the nature of my work, I (and my teams) have been treated like pariahs…

>Why must moving slowly be stigmatised? Because some of us have jobs to get to, trains to catch, appointments to make, airplane gates to queue at, and just generally need to get-th…

The majority of airliners are on 'dry lease' to their respective airlines to begin with.

At first, the entire premise was facilitating group buying to meet manufacturer order minimums for unique or high-demand hardware, and discounts for meeting manufacturers' volume d…

It’s been tried, with some success. Pretty sure I’ve seen a post here on HN from someone that DIy’d it end to end. But it’s also something that’s not responsible to shortcut. Shift…

Current 'self pay' pricing (as of March 2025) for those without insurance coverage for Ozempic is $199/month for two months, then anywhere from $349 to $499/month depending on dosa…

Are they consistent? As a North American, I find it difficult to take EU/European countries’ stances on addiction seriously when they seem to be decades behind on reducing the prev…

IRC and Newsgroups definitely had that level of addiction going on. Just smaller population size due by technical friction that kept the general population away.

300cpm is lower than what you’d be exposed to on a commercial airline flight (400-900ish cpm).

That’s not unique to PayPal. Pretty much any payment processor that detects a proprietor paying themselves is going to throw up a red flag for circular cash flow fraud and close th…

Why on earth would I care if a potato sticks to my blade, and why would I need to atomize lemon juice with my knife?

MRI and other radiology suites use lead glass windows, which are incredibly thick and tinted dark-yellowish-orange. Visibility through them is okay, but not great.

Plex does operate a few services that 'free' (or any) streaming may rely on depending on circumstances. Aside from auth, Plex clients that aren't able to discover the server instan…

'Miswak' sticks are popular in the Middle East/Northern Africa. Raw mastic gum seems to be gaining popularity in the US. Neither is popular for the explicit purpose of cognitive en…

Is poverty really 'designed into our society'? It seems to me that the underlying aspects of poverty - particularly resource scarcity and insecurity - are inherent aspects of the '…
