I’m not sure it’s considered a vacation if you didn’t plan on staying 34x the number of days you had originally planned, or have a choice to leave. Especially when you’re separated from your family an…

To be fair, OP never said this was necessarily related directly to the article. I’ll often post loosely related tangents like this because I would enjoy discussing the tangent with the HN crowd, but t…

This still doesn’t explain one of my biggest peeves with keyboards: Why are the keys angled up and to the left — for both hands? Was this to solve the type bar jamming? Or is that also an urban lege…

This feels more like a feature, not a bug. Local communities all operate in the same time zone. No reason small online communities couldn’t operate in the same time zone, allowing each time zone to ha…

> Microsoft just doesn't make enough money from Bing/Edge to pay PC makers to leave Edge as the default. Have you used a Windows PC lately? It seems like once a week I have to ignore&#x…

As someone who plays a lot of board games — particularly heavier board games — and hopes to do even more of that in retirement, I’m wondering if/how that is helping/will help fight cognitive…

But did the diagnosis result in any sort of ongoing treatment (e.g. medication, formal school/work adjustments, etc.)? It may be personal, and you don’t have to answer, but this is the general qu…

> The actual reason why America is an outlier is widespread over-diagnosis. > A typical ADHD diagnosis in America is done by a paediatrician or a family doctor in an office visit as brief as …

This is fun! A quick note that I think I found a way to cheat that you may (or may not) want to patch (though I’ve still enjoyed my plays while “cheating”). I’m on iPhone, and can simply lift my finge…

dang, one other option (in addition to/instead of a confirmation): Simply remove the link from the listing. This may work out better, anyway, to add at least one more click of friction to flaggin…

I think it boils down to the fact that intelligent, curious discussion on topics like this can’t be held on the internet. Even on HN, the comments on the previous threads, and already in this thread t…

That link is still 90% garbage I didn’t ask for.

> The most worrying part is that I don't know if this sentiment is actually widespread and a seriously held belief. It makes me worry that we might see a continued escalation of political vio…

I need a good bird repellent for windows. We eventually took our feeder down after birds kept crashing into our windows near the feeder. I can only assume they were trying to get to "the other bi…

Actually, it's even more devious than that. They use wording -- just like this article does -- like "X happens as Y also happens". The keyword being "as" and not "because…

Yeah, I have noticed that some commands are now interpreted differently/incorrectly. But I’ve just started being less ambiguous with commands now. E.g. simply “turn lights out” has worked for me.…

> Google has butchered Assistant since the advent of LLMs. My Google Home devices have lost basically all of their functionality I’ve seen this said a few times lately, yet I’ve not really seen m…

> off by slightly less than 2 meters For that to be meaningful, you need the height as well, which is 75 meters (mentioned in the article). So about 1.5 degrees off center. (Just sharing because …

Yeah, for some reason, I still root for them (not necessarily in silly cases like these, just when it comes to being a successful video game company). I have way too many fond memories dating back to …

> in past generations you had artists and rebels and seekers and every other kind of misfit that made life interesting and unique and challenging to the status quo I get what you’re saying, but p…

NMS is a technical marvel, and at first, the game is quite fun. But for me, it just falls flat after a while. The planets just feel functionally the same, just with a different "skin" (which…

Google today is not as good as Google from 10 years ago, but: a) a big reason for this is that the web is also not as good as it was 10 years ago, and b) it’s still better than the alternatives, much …

I don’t think the parent comment was arguing the motive for the ban. They’re just saying they’re not convinced TikTok causes the overall happiness the GP comment claims. I think it’s hard to argue tha…

To be fair, if we’re going by track alone, there’s nothing to say it’s not just a new track for the Switch 2 release (or even just released at the same time, but available on both).
