I often use the wii wheel as my handicap for family, but my wife (new to games) is now good enough that I might need to switch that soon. When my oldest was first trying Mario Kart…

I'm sure he did. It is mentioned in TFA.

Discs do matter in one way. I don't think I have ever seen a digital "purchase" of any significance which I could resell or gift at a later time. Some "in game" things are resellab…

The term I am familiar with prior to that was "immediate family" (as opposed to "extended family"). You come across the term a lot in old genealogy books. For instance in "The Hist…

Because often the law cares about intent, not technicalities. Technically you could argue that this is a "whole home battery solar setups with a grid backup", but clearly the inten…

For the last example given in that article: /test_.*_errors/;/errors I find it much easier to use "\zs". That tells vim where you want the "start" of the match to be. Everything be…

Discussed on HN back in January: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46716806

I believe it is called that because it is meant for learning to balance on a bicycle (as opposed to training wheels which, as commonly used, are mostly helpful in learning to pedal…

Off-topic, but it looks like the author is using the URL to determine how much traffic reached his article through Hacker News. The URL ends with "-hn", but if you remove that, it …

It also includes time to allow discovering of compromised accounts. If the owner of a popular package is hacked, this gives the owner a week to raise alarms about this.

When did he post that "vibecoding" was here to stay? He is allowing AI generated code, and AI linting tooling in kernel development, but importantly, the expectation of human respo…

I would prefer to know what the product will do when I purchase it, and it should continue to do the same things in the same way for its entire lifespan. I would also prefer that v…

> "x% of what? what is the denominator?" Another reason the denominator is important is that "parents" are (hopefully) completely a subset of "adults". And not all adults have livi…

I don't have a problem with USB C cables, and even if I did it wouldn't be a big deal. The cables are cheap compared to the devices they charge. It is broken USB-C ports that frust…

Also, it looses functionality gracefully in that it is still a perfectly serviceable toothbrush even if it is out of battery. That said, I have never had a Sonicare run out of batt…

I find it easy to detect. If I wave my hand in front of my face quickly, the movement looks choppy instead of being just a blur. I can often tell lighting is cheep LED even without…

I have used Kokoro fairly extensively for an accessibility product. I have loved working with it (especially because I don't have an NVidia GPU like many TTS of similar quality req…

We see this all over. Generic brands can be on-par with (or even 100% identical) to name-brands, and the name brands still make money. For example at my local grocery store, you ca…

It is linked at the top of the article. It is a physics-based sandbox building game. Back in the day it was commercial, but it was abandoned a while back and somewhat more recently…

I don't think it is supported anywhere else currently, but Batocera has a simple wsquashfs format. It is basically the game compressed into a squahsfs. Then it can be managed as si…

I am pleased to see hardware not being locked down as a selling point: > Yes, Steam Machine is optimized for gaming, but it's still your PC. Install your own apps, or even another …

Unlikely to happen (with the author anyway). From TFA: > Importantly to me, it’s not defined in some complex DSL

I don't think of HTML as low level, and I don't think that writing "high-level" web (whatever that is? React?) would be any faster to develop or produce better results for his exam…

My home server has been running alpine for a while now. I'm always delighted with how simple and robust it is. Not that this is probably recommended, but I have a cron script that …
