I can’t confirm the quote online but I remember Julia Child saying in one of her shows that it’s easy to make a good omelette and almost impossible to make a great omelette.

I’m sorry but your solution is “don’t own a car?”

Actually an even more cost effective way would be to buy a used 1-year old top of the line MacBook Pro on FBM with cash and then sell it a year later and rinse, wash, repeat. But t…

This is the kind of stuff that happens when there’s too much money

Knitting has long been a highly political activity. Knitting in public by women during the French Revolution was an audacious act of gender equality. And tennis? Goodness surely yo…

I gave this a real shot, but I found it impossible to use the email client. There are basic things like collapsing replies (in a conversation with multiple lawyers no less, damn do…

Surely we’re aware of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 yes? It spells out exactly what they are doing, & where they are going. Eliminating birthright citizenship is a key com…

I just finished Michael Christie’s Greenwood, a generational epic on family and, well, trees. Part of the book takes place in a future where the only trees left in the world are on…

So, ends justifies the means. Got it. I guess I’m old enough to remember when 99.9% of us on hacker news were…well, hackers. We valued privacy and freedom over surveillance and “re…

How is this comment on hacker news? Do we not understand basic principles of scale? 40 billion of corruption is way more corrupt than 400k. And what’s more is penalizing the 400k w…

I have fond memories of this software as a kid. I used it on an Apple IIE at school. It felt powerful. You - a kid!! - could create a newspaper. It had a cartoon feel to it, but I …

I try not to be too critical of things by strangers on the internet, but I feel compelled to say that as a big fan of the type of fiction this seems to be going for - a kind of Fra…

I’ve taken this line - as many have and do all the time. Ride it once and you’ll realize why it’s the better way to travel in every way but cost and time - and both of those are a …

I’m glad you went through that and came out ok. It seems though, increasingly, that the ability to avoid addiction is less about pulling one up by one’s own bootstraps, and in many…

I think this is where a lot of freelance contractors could pivot to - basically "last mile" coding, where the LLM does the front end work, and then high hourly pay engineers come i…

thanks for the correction I hear you but at least as my bud described it, the software that most of the timber mill industry uses is buggy as hell, crashes all the time, and makes …

Had Waffle House with some friends who mostly work in blue collar industries. One guy who works at a timber mill used Claude code to redo their ordering system. Took him about a mo…

> Sorry, HOW?!? It's me. I have accumulated several dozen free games over the years through the Epic Store. Sorry Tim Sweeney!

I have three teenage kids and they’ve all switched to wired. Many of their friends have as well. It has nothing to do with fashion or retro vibes, as far as I can tell. They’ve all…

Thank you! For those of us that are reluctant to upgrade to Tahoe, I thank you!

We thought we did but we never left the Clippy era did we

I think you’re missing the point and approaching this with a myopically binary perspective. Just because you consider AI an interface in line with, perhaps, a paintbrush, typewrite…

Tahoe only? Yikes!

You just described every human social network lol
