More like 99% for me. Really reinforces imposter syndrome. Then again, most articles on HN do that anyway.

Without a doubt. I’ve played on a grand and upright, but I’d still call myself just barely above beginner. But I do have a good ear for appreciating music and acoustics, and agree that they’re definit…

> I really would like to see a 100lb digital piano replacing a 500lb upright piano while keeping its action, feel and sound, if not a grand piano. I get the impression that you’ve not played a digi…

I guess I feel that the iPhone was the innovator for a lot of things that are in use today, ultimately leading to the cultural fall. For sure, today the iPhone is no more to blame than other smartphon…

You’re talking about whether an iPad can accurately reproduce the quality of the original tools. While I would certainly agree, like it or not, many of these things are being replaced by iPads/iP…

Maybe you’re younger than I am, but I definitely feel like the introduction of the smart phone — and the iPhone on particular — was when things started to decline steeply.

Reminded me of this tweet I saw a couple weeks ago (from our local zoo): https://twitter.com/amazlngnature/status/1782416298636345452 …

No reason to downvote someone for asking for a source (before one was given). A source is helpful context for claims like this, and the person that responded with one may not otherwise have had it not…

I agree, but I think this is a short term problem. I think battery tech is improving, and range has been improving with each generation it seems. I think it’s just a matter of time before EV range wel…

I’m not sure if it’s wise for Tesla to play chicken with the government. It hasn’t had the best track record with policies around new technology. If they’re betting on the government to pick up the to…

More discussion from yesterday: Tesla conducting more layoffs, including entire Supercharger team (259 points, 611 comments) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40209382 …

> they aren't as invested in its success > if the EV charging infrastructure doesn't improve it will severely hamper EV sales These two statements are at odds. They should be inves…

There is a goldmine of interesting music here, and I’ve not even scratched the surface yet, but one of my favorites so far is “A Headache And A Sixty-Fourth” [1] that has an inserted 1/64 measure…

If you like absurd questions like this with real scientific responses, you might enjoy the “What If?” books [1] by Randall Munroe (creator of xkcd). They are full of questions like this, often with a …

I like that Google Maps now lets you view a time in the past of a location on Street View. I hope this serves as an archive of sorts of how things used to look, at least from the outside, for decades&…

Not sure if this is part of what you’re observing, but on ArsTechnica, ther article is presented by default, and you have to click to get to the comments. On HN, the comments are presented by default,…

The post you’re replying to was responding to the question posed in the above comment: > How about, in the next step, developing an app based on this idea that uses the light sensor typically inte…

This isn’t about whether all candidates receive a response. This is about whether positions are being created without ever planning to fill them. I think it’s perfectly fine to screen out candidates a…

This can’t happen in companies where you’re part of the hiring process. Every company I’ve worked for in the past several jobs has had me interviewing candidates directly. I’m part of the decision mak…

There was something special about being in the same room (or at least building) as a bunch of friends playing a game. Nowadays the internet makes it easy to play with friends, but it’s too easy now to…

The professor in the video is quite wholesome. Seems to love nature and has a genuinely positive attitude. And also has me convinced that getting spraying in the face with cicada pee is no big deal.

FWIW, this mostly falls under one of the guidelines of things not to do: Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breaka…

I mean, there are ways to still mitigate most of the risk. Obviously probably an oversimplification, but I could imagine one or more of the following: - reliable ejection + personal parachute - glidin…
