I'm an American currently living in the Philippines, and that's utter nonsense and I know it. Developing world countries are so far behind the US in infrastructure, clean water, food quality…

Heads up, the link to "The Internet's Own Boy" says it's unavailable because whoever uploaded it changed the setting to private. Which is a shame, because it's a good bio. EDI…

Another reason that I don't think anyone's commented on is that it wasn't until the very late 1960's that the Stratocaster really took off. That was because of Jimi Hendrix adoptin…

Fender has cannibalized their brand, just like Ray-Ban and many other manufacturers known for a "classic" design. But what's changed recently is that now they're not just feeling t…

And that's just the iPhone keyboard. The physical keyboards on MacBookPros are still terrible. I've had two of them where some of the keys shorted out or stopped working. Eventually, thinnes…

I don't use VSCode, but doesn't their plugin ecosystem indicate if the plugin is MSFT-approved?

You're assuming they allow it, but it might be against policy.

Agree with that. There's also the camera collector scene. FWIW, not resentful at all. Just mentioning that it's a valid desire present in many different cultures across history.

I've commented on this subject before, but the fact of the matter is that kids getting into high tech and programming mostly don't read books anymore. How do I know? Recently I was hanging o…

I feel this reply deeply. Tremendously depressed right now.

I don't know much about how this camera is priced, but I think you're underrating the human desire for exclusivity. I won't be surprised when that first run sells out.

Where are you finding your join number on GitHub? I just spent a few minutes looking at my profile and settings, but I don't see it anywhere.

Your first sentence is key. Most people don't look behind the green curtain, but it's often where you find who the really important people in the org are.

Apple says the magic keyboard is "much loved." Eh, I can't think of anyone I know who uses a MacBook who agrees with that, even the biggest Cupertino fanbois. It's a terrible typin…

I know they were. But when Obama and Clinton were doing it, one of the big differences was that there were not all these Karens blowing whistles and interfering with those operations. The difference i…

never done anything wrong to begin with Except illegally migrate to the US without applying or engaging in human traffic and smuggling. You may not like it, but the USA is still a nation of laws. It…

Same thing happened to me; can confirm. It was about 20 notifications and updates, then it abruptly stopped. I simply deleted everything above the last work-related email in the "Primary" ta…

I'm overseas and have a Capital One MC card which I've never had a problem with regarding ATMs and frictionless payments, so I find this news fairly alarming. Wait—they're planning on k…

Ghostty is also a great option on macOS (on Linux I use Alacritty).

It's the same in the Philippines. Try finding soap, lotion, or sunscreen that doesn't include whitening agents, which are usually very unhealthy for the skin. It's very much the case th…

Despite my pro-documentation comment above, I think there is a legit criticism that a lot of official documentation is a mess. Take man pages, for instance. I don't think it's a good look fo…

[Disclaimer: I'm a Gen Xer. Insert meme of Grandpa Simpson shouting at clouds.] I think this is undoubtedly true from my observations. Recently, I got together over drinks with a group of young d…

In a real tech hub, it's definitely going to be a longer commute. Nashville, for instance, is not a tech hub. Yet it has some of the worst commute times for people who have an office there.

Wow, thanks. This is an incredible deep dive and I obviously came to the right place for that question. This kind of detailed comment is why I still appreciate HN so much...

K&E's are classic. What do you think was the most popular Pickett model?

My Dad is a retired R&D chemist who worked at the DuPont corporation's Experimental Station. When I was a kid he would bring his old slide rules home from work when he got a new one, and at o…

K8s, Helm, Docker, Rancher. You're speaking my language.
