Happy New Year from the Dominican Republic. My New Year's resolution is to drink less frequently, exercise more and learn to surf. How about yours?

I’m planning to smoke weed less frequently (daily -> weekly), get a job, exercise more, and learn to sail!

Happy New Year!

Happy new year from Kyiv :-) 00:30, air raid sirens went off, and more explosions. Looks like a country-wide alarm is in place right now.

2.10am, couple more explosions going off. Time to put the ear-plugs in and get some sleep. Night all!

Or not.

Spent the last 30 minutes watching searchlights play on the clouds and surface-to-air missiles rising into the night sky. Got a little footage, but have learned I need to set infinite focus at night (the points of light in shot are blurry, as the camera cannot focus).

I saw four shots fired in total, after the third there was a white flash in the sky, where I would think they hit their mark.

Always hard to wish for anyone's death... But I guess, even playing the "devils you know, devil's you don't" game, it's hard not to wish for Putin to _at least_ loose its job soon... Good luck to everyone in between !

For Putin I'll make an exception. I've looked at lots of media from Ukraine and I have zero compassion with him, he knows full well what he's doing and not a day goes by or innocent people are murdered in his name.

Happy New Year and keep in mind what happened 2023 years ago.

I would not be surprised if the counting one day will be reset to the invention of the computer. That would make us now 87 AC (anno computeri) assuming we count the invention from 1936.

I propose we use 64 bit signed numbers for that purpose just to drive everbody completely crazy.

Either that or go back to the big bang and solve all those conversion problems in one go.

Happy new year. Wish you all a great and successful year, whatever this means most for you. HN is still a place where I can find useful information after all those years. Thanks to you, the contributors and commenters. Cheers!
