clownworldclown··on Ask HN: Should nursing homes encourage residents to talk to chatbots daily?
Do you talk to chatbots yourself?
clownworldclown··on Americans are choosing to be alone, but we should reverse that
they do it through a lot of medication and anesthetics and sedatives that get them through the day
clownworldclown··on Ask HN: What is the most sustainable way to be healthy and productive for life?
the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry
clownworldclown··on Against Food
In our age one is not allowed to talk about gluttony.

It is the primary vehicle by which many sustain an otherwise meaningless existence

clownworldclown··on Ask HN: Is it possible to get an 18-year-old to spend less time on the computer?
What measures "healthy"?

Most "healthy" individuals indulge in addiction: television, food, news.

What do the parents hope for the kid's future? What makes a good life? Why is it bad that someone spends 9+ hours a day on the computer when that's the standard for all software engineers?

What do they hope to accomplish by restricting internet time? What does the kid want for the future?

clownworldclown··on Ask HN: What are the benefits to having children nowadays?
You can't expect others to hand on a silver platter the reasons for you and your progeny's existence!
clownworldclown··on Ask HN: What are the benefits to having children nowadays?
Every reason you've listed is either wrong or avoidable.

Deep down, you don't want children. If you figure out the reason why and cut through your social-programming, then you'll have them.

Otherwise, thanks for playing!

clownworldclown··on Tell HN: HN Auto Removes “Blazingly” from Titles
Good.
clownworldclown··on Tell HN: College students are now considerably more fat
The standard western diet:

Grains & pasta (bad) - Meat (bad) - Cheese (bad) - Sugar sugar sugar (bad) - processed foods (bad)

Basically everything in "cultural" cuisine slowly kills you. Point out anything as a general concept of a "meal" and you'll find that, yes, that meal is bad for you. Not surprising most people are fat

clownworldclown··on On Why I'm Quitting Alcohol
Alcohol is poison.

Enjoy a destroyed liver when you're older.

clownworldclown··on Show HN: Hibiki HTML – New frontend framework – no scaffolding, no Webpack
Look, web development is complicated, full of dependencies, 1000s of packages.

Not anymore. Not today. No more! – just add this dependency to the top of your file

On a serious note, I would be curious of a comparison of this and other js 'mini' frameworks.

Congrats on delivering OP!

clownworldclown··on If you care about animals, you should eat them
- You can't determine what is a 'good life' for an animal. Scratch that, for someone else in general. It is incumbent upon the other to express what is good for them. You cannot determine, but you can deduce, yet there is little deduction to be had while the subject is incarcerated (limited options, how can you know this is what is wanted if the other options, i.e. free living, are not available?)

- You cannot say it is 'mutually beneficial' the same way you cannot determine what is 'good' for the animal. Most animals never have a choice or a way to express

Do whatever you want, but I hope no one pretends for a second they're 'doing good' beyond themselves for eating plants or animals. You are only 'being good' towards oneself in the form of sustaining your life, if that is your objective, your good. Some choose a noose instead

You don't need a pat on the back to sustain your life, nor this strange delusion that you're somehow making the world a better place by denying life to another thing, or deciding a life for another thing, unless you want to exercise a narcissism unparalleled

thanks
clownworldclown··on How a hypermedia approach can address usability concerns with multi-page apps
contrary to most of the comments I'm in full agreement with the hypermedia approach. This is an exciting development, especially with hyperscript!

I actually attempted to make a "simplified" "js" framework (where you just had some html tags and it did things for you) for tasks congruent to alpine (since I found alpine rather complex, or that it comes with so much but you still have to do a good amount of work to get things working) but I'm not as savvy; using the DSL you all have in hyperscript is real smart, simple.

Not too long ago I looked into using Svelte for a one-off project (since it was the highest rated framework at the time) which then prompted me to look into the current state of web development.

It's absurd, and left such a sour taste that I just shelved the project for another time.

Great stuff you guys got going here, it makes me excited to see what'll turn into in the future! Looking forward to trying this out later.

clownworldclown··on Gentle, a Personal History
What is it about all-lowercase typing that bothers me?
clownworldclown··on Ask HN: Are there any software or tech “monasteries”?
It's not a perfect match since they still have clients and such, but the first thing that comes to mind would be Hwaci[0], most known for SQLite[1].

clownworldclown··on Want to work 9-to-5? Good luck building a career
how about good luck building any wealth at all working under others without sizable equity :~)
clownworldclown··on Ask HN: Has Anyone Monetized a Microsoft Teams App
I don't think Apps are successful because the UX of Teams keeps me stuck in IMs.

I rarely if ever look at a Teams channel. I've only written maybe ~5 messages in a teams channel before.

Everything I've ever done has been in an IM/group chat.

clownworldclown··on Solar Startup Born in a Garage Is Beating China to Cheaper Panels
I hope they're successful. It's a welcome change, especially if it makes solar power more accessible.

Recently I've flipped through the current options out there. You can't help but feel you need to at least drop ~2k to be able to use most appliances you depend on day-to-day.

Living in fear is one of the easiest ways to be filled with regret on your deathbed.
