It's pretty amazing to find out that you can actually improve your knees (and feet, ankles, hips, shoulders..) so they don't hurt and generally suck, even if you're not 20. +1 for the knees over toes guy programs

Jon is an interesting guy and has given some really interesting talks, here's one about preventing the collapse of civilization: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSRHeXYDLko

Seconded. The Dark Souls 1 collision data renders all levels at once, it's incredible.

WeChat

For those who use a VPN - why do you do it? Region-locked content, untrusted networks? They're pitched as a privacy thing, but privacy from who?

Same for me. Now my resume is in a google doc and still looks great. Latex just wasn't worth the time spent tinkering, and I'm not convinced better typesetting helps developers get jobs.

I read your tirade and I'm now interested - what do you think the ideal high school math curriculum looks like?

As a USian, it is not fun

Wouldn't that increase charging queue times for the poor?

Makes me wonder how many totally false stories have impacted my view of the world.

Excellent work!

I really like how listicles are compartmentalized to one section of the results, instead of taking over the entire page.

I find it very interesting that they link to the trello board for the project on the main site. I don't think I've seen that before.

It's amazing how much more useful this site is than anything I've found on google recently

I'd be very interested to hear more details about your jupyter notebook setup for sending emails

Does anyone else have a long list of dense material like this that you have an intention of going through someday? Do you ever end up actually doing it?

Love the subtle "stonks" overlay on the first chart

Amazing list, and one of the best things I've found on HN. I'll add my own bit of advice, for fun:

The party is over the instant one person asks for the wifi password

> Now, games are filled with pay-items which I guess some people enjoy, but it leads to not a lot of fun in some cases. For example, some games sell tokens that you can convert to in-game money. That essentially translates into a boring grind for 100 hours or pay X amount to skip that by getting enough money to buy the items you need to skip that content.

You are not looking in the right places, there are more great games coming out now than ever. Try Inscryption or Outer Wilds.

The way I see it, it's not about the wealth itself, but the disproportionate influence in politics that it can yield. The wider the divide gets, the less democratic the country gets. Hypothetically.

For the centipede demon fight the camera IS the boss

The McDonalds ice cream machine story is pretty interesting:

I found it through HN and for me, personally, it has helped.

True, but with math you also eventually get down to axioms that can't be proven.

Some people from Blizzard formed a company named Frost Giant and are apparently working on a new RTS.

If I had a social life I'd be really excited about this

One small thing that has really helped me mitigate the downsides of screen time is keeping my phone out of my bedroom. It charges at my desk. No more laying in bed scrolling before or after I wake up. I sleep better and feel better.

Granted, a lot of that music probably wasn't amazing. But as an archive and community what.cd was unmatched, and I'm still upset that it's gone. RIP

There's a nice command line tool for keeping a journal that some people might find useful. https://jrnl.sh/

You just type in jrnl followed by your entry, that's it.

Has anyone had success making prints of maps from image files? Some of these would look great hung up on a wall.
