    FWIW, the only time I ever had emergency brakes kick in are in spurious situations, like tight maneuvers or there is something ahead with plenty of headway to decide whether you sh…

    Apparently my definition of tutor is so demanding that it should not be expected at all from a tutor (even if provided with information on the tutees weaknesses, tutors don't use t…

    To me, what makes a game a game is that you can learn how it works simply by interacting with it; you don't need to open a separate wiki. That is not entirely true, as for examples…

    Isn't it the reddit model that absorbed them? Nerds were often seen as poorly social since "logic and reasoning" would go against socially accepted norms. This where the fedora tip…

    I was personally put off by the fact that the MegaDrive limitations actually negatively impact the gameplay, while there are little gains that I see in that "limited space fosterin…

    Just looking at the "analog desk" picture, it almost hurts to see the bad posture reading the book. Hunched forward, bent neck... Shouldn't you invest in a book stand, or something…

    I was thinking about this recently in order to solve the problem of RPG fights. Deterministic combat is not super exciting, but dice throwing is even worse. What if instead you qui…

    If monetization is at odds with open-source, why wouldn't potential customers just wouldn't go to VueScan, as someone posted? I was recently looking at scanners, and saw some brand…

    I don't think the question is stupid, because I kind of consider that to make use of a palette like this, you still need a lot of skills that if you do have, you can probably as ea…

    KDE's hard-switch to Wayland broke so many things in my workflows, from what used to be a perfect system. For keyboard expansions espansso/ydotools crash bi-hourly and I couldn't p…

    On that matter, wouldn't an AI flag for submissions help hn? I wouldn't flag a submission for LLM style as it is too harsh, but I don't want to read them -- if only because I don't…
