#72The video is funny-ish but it doesn't do justice to how cool Iceland is. I really enjoyed my time there. Would highly recommend. Felt like you could aim your camera in a random direction outdoors and it would take a beautiful photo.

#74I have a few qualms with this app: 1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by streaming from /dev/urandom, mapping to cardinal directions and simulating a random walk on the keyboard. 2. It doesn't actually replace an email autoresponder. Most people I know will put things like their return date in the auto-response. 3. It does not seem very "scalable" or income-generating. I…
For linux user they should put penguins typing.

#75Every once in a while I must succumb my natural aversion towards marketers and give a tip of the hat. This is definitely one of them. Absolutely brilliant and creative thinking!
Their previous spoof of Zuckerberg's Metaverse video was also great.

#76I have some time off coming up soon... And HR is forever telling us we should "engage" with one another more. This counts as engagement, right?
While technically true, I'm afraid HR might consider it as horsin' around.

Iceland is amazing, I highly recommend a visit. If you can forgive the self-promotion, I wrote a "things I wish I'd known" post about visiting Iceland which might be of interest to anyone planning a trip there: https://blackshaw.substack.com/p/iceland
A correction to "Unless you have a 4x4 it’s illegal to drive on certain mountain roads": Legally you can drive on whatever road you'd like in whatever vehicle you'd like, but coverage in case something goes wrong is probably not included in your rental company's coverage. The "4x4 only" signs you referred to are meant to discourage tourists who don't know any better. Depending on the road, weather, your driving skill…
It seems Iceland is also 4x4 heaven if this Kárahnjúkar Spillway is anything to go by: https://youtu.be/Lv-XcVFBwVY?t=214

Go in summer if you want to ride, though. Ask me how I know that October will freeze your fingers off I'd 100% recommend visiting Iceland in October in general. It's a lot less busy around attractions and the sea climate makes it not that cold (the main challenge usually is breaking the wind). Walking/driving around is absolutely no problem, and outdoors swimming is also fine because the pools are heated geothermally…

Well, the horse riding! Sorry, I thought it would be clear from the first paragraph

It might be the most famous Hacker News comment in existence.
Up there with slashdot's impression of the first iPods: > No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame. ( https://slashdot.org/story/01/10/23/1816257/apple-releases-i... )
I actually preferred MiniDisc through the portable music player era. I didn’t stop using my MiniDisc player until iPhone 4, as my phone storage was suddenly sufficient to carry a good portion of my library.

The first iPods were pretty crappy from a functional standpoint. There were other mp3 players which were more full-featured, and the early iPods crashed a lot.
It's their aesthetic design which sold people on them. That's what Slashdot did not understand.
