    Another suspected issue is dodging the draft during WW2 by pretending to be too old. In rural areas with shoddy record keeping you can get away with pretending to be your dead uncl…

    The US (as well as other countries) has weird hangups because there's not a lot of granularity in prescription rules and insurance won't cover things unless they require a prescrip…

    So I had an idea for a music app that tries to minimize the amount of music theory needed to play as a group. Basically you pick a key, then it's just 7 buttons that play the notes…

    It was actually a big success in Japan. NEC America completely botched everything in the US market. In Japan it came out in 1987, two years before the Sega Genesis. In the US it la…

    So for anyone looking into old school graphics programming, bit planes are pretty confusing when you don't understand why they exist. Two big reasons. First, it's about running mem…

    Reporters for The Times of Israel get a lot of death threats. I doubt this was the author's first one. So it's common and hard to prosecute because the person threatening is most l…

    Show HN: Build in Minecraft with LLMs Using MCP

    So this is a very silly project, but I wanted to understand MCP and improve my Docker knowledge. The result is kind of fun. I built a Minecraft mod with a REST API, and then a MCP …
