This thread is a prime example of how one can troll or shitpost on HN, no problem, so long as the trolling and shitposting is sufficiently HN-flavored. By which I don't mean to imply that the moderation or community are…
"First, you'll want to set up a server" and you're already down to well under 1% of the population that'll be interested in reading any further, let alone following through and actually doing it.
I read the post before it had any responses and based on how it read to me then I'd say milofeynman's post is responding to the strongest plausible interpretation, as that's one of the HNest posts I've ever seen, which…
Guess that hasn't made it to their "download for linux" page on the main site yet. It still offers the plugins, with an alternate option for the command line tools.

Yep, all those exact reasons are why I noted it's unfair (issue a group of people are facing, not an individual) and would be untenable as soon as it became any kind of system or recurring practice on any scale…
> although the circumstances they allow you to help with might not be the exact ones that first attracted your interest and concern. Yeah, well, I'm human enough to have those impulses but also know it's good to help…
Heh, think the guy has Venmo? That'd be handy. Yeah maybe I'll try an email tomorrow.
I know it's an idea that would kind of... eat itself, were it reality. And maybe this is some shitty first-world take and I'm an asshole for thinking it or whatever. It's even a pretty unfair idea, really. But every…
Low- or zero-prep junk food is also incredibly cheap. When I see comparisons done it's usually ingredient costs of healthy food to full-price junk food costs, but that's not how poor people shop for junk food. They go…

There are several decent ways to keep oneself in good shape for a few months while gyms are closed. Insisting this is a big, important problem for you while also (apparently) not taking advantage of those options means…
Yep. Dairy Queen, for instance, had lines of cars wrapping around the building and lining up in the street during the height of our "lockdown". Tons of things were still open in-person, too, like grocery stores, and…

Google probably don't want that happening because they use the data to inform decisions for all kinds of other things (search, ad sales, filling in gaps in their creepy profiles of people, maybe even metrics-driven…
That's a damn fine looking list. I cannot understand why people like King Crimson no matter how hard I try, let alone well enough for In the Court... to place at #5, but otherwise, looks great to me. For anyone starting…
I found Wii Sports gave me nasty RSI in a way I'd never experienced before if I tried to play it "seriously" for any length of time. All that vigorous motion but with no weight or resistance was really, really bad. It…
Everyone likes parks and plazas and the occasional wide boulevard, it's when there's a bunch of "green space" of indefinite purpose strewn about, and wide streets with big setbacks everywhere because they "look grand"…
IIRC it used to work a lot better (like, a whole lot better) but modern X apps mostly end up sending bitmaps over the wire, rather than native X rendering instructions. Agree that it works better than other remote…
The Beatles — Sgt. Pepper David Bowie... a different one practically every album.
That seems to be a mistake in a lot of "city of the future" concept art. All that empty space, tons of long strips of green and trees, very wide streets, huge squares everywhere, looks nice on a drawing or a render but…
The first time I heard of it was the wave of articles a couple weeks back about how it was failing and would probably shut down soon. Suddenly it was everywhere but it was all coverage of how it'd already failed.
There was a Russian travel-photoblogger obsessed with street signs and fire hydrants whose blog I read a lot of a few years back, out of whose very extensive travels a few patterns and interesting observations emerged,…
Not the only comic that puts a bonus in the img tag alt text—I think Wondermark does, and I wanna say that at one time SMBC did that and had the red-button extra panel, both, and it may still. I always check for it when…
If you want support from an app for piano and especially if you already have a keyboard or digital piano with MIDI out, I would strongly recommend Simply Piano on the iPad. I'm not affiliated, just a very, very happy…
