Another inspiring book in this vein is Tending the Wild by M. Kat Anderson. It looks at how Native Americans in California lived and managed the landscape. It gets really specific about which plants they'd use and how.…
For me, yes. I was introduced to Scratch on a field trip as a 5th grader and went home and tinkered with it, making a bunch of games. I later got a Lego Mindstorms kit. As a teenager I learned Java through the Minecraft…
Yeah I would like to try Tangled if I can set it up in a completely private configuration
How easy is it to set up and run this for private repos? It looks like it has so many cool features -- stacked PRs, jujutsu support, CI in Nix VMs. But I've never tried it because it sounds like (at least by default)…
The original discussion was based on actionable suggestions about an opt-out system for Sachiko
That's a false equivalence. AI is not the same as aluminum cans. All technologies have political, social, ethical, and economic aspects, and not all technologies are the same. AI is not, in reality, powered by…
It's disingenuous because it's attacking something that the article didn't say. It didn't say "kernel devs should prompt less because it uses up water." The real argument was that AI has many externalities that should…
The article isn't trying to find a particular example. It's talking about the overall stance of Linux on AI use. It argues that maintainers should consider political/moral/ethical arguments around climate change, effect…
Not sure if I have this right but this is how I understand it > So is the magic here that it's Postgres? What makes being able to query something in Postgres special? There are a bunch of pros and cons to using Postgres…
In this case Poland or allies have apparently actually shot them down. And some sources are reporting they are Shahed kamikaze drones, not spy drones https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/09/europe/poland-scramble-jets-r...…

and don't forget that Grok is powered by illegal cancer-causing methane gas turbines in a predominantly black neighborhood of Memphis that already had poor air quality to begin with…
There are a lot of myths about the way humans used to be, especially Native Americans. Were they utopian nature-lovers? Were they barbaric human-sacrificers? A good book on this topic is The Dawn of Everything, written…

I've had a similar experience with Bluesky, though it's much more like Twitter than Hacker News. You can curate a good feed by following a ton of people, then unfollow the noisy ones as you look over the feed. You can…
For anyone else interested in running this, it only took a couple seconds to launch their docker-compose.yml https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/warrior-dockerfile/blob/maste...
I don't think the "noble savage" idea applies in this case. The problem of the noble savage idea is that it portrays indigenous people as simple, pure, and uncorrupted, while overlooking that indigenous people are…
The "Little Red Book" is the name of Mao Zedong's propaganda book. It's an example of indoctrination. Marshall McLuhan introduced the idea that the "medium is the message," which is heavily alluded to in this book with…
I'm currently reading this book and it's incredible. It paints a picture of how rich plant and animal life was before contact with Europeans. It shows how Native Californians depended on and deeply understood every…
Yeah, the article argues that degrowth doesn't have enough evidence and isn't progressing towards it fast enough. Valid, but that doesn't make me feel like the idea of degrowth is invalid. They say that degrowth ideas…
Guessing Entity Component System - a common game engine architecture
I was confused by this too. The photography term seemed so out of place to me that I assumed this was some new other meaning of DSLR, like deep spherical latent representation or something. but Ctrl+F didn't find…
I would love to get sucked into learning guitar with a game like that. I think there's an untapped niche for educational games with the depth, progression, and addictive aspects of RPGs. Hope you get the chance to…
