Is this a solved problem using the right tools?

You might lose context of a specific project over time, but not of the language itself. When you're no longer involved with the project's implementation or the programming language itself, what remains?

Let's be honest: People have no problem polluting elsewhere as long as they can consume the final product without suffering the consequences. TFA isn't important to the people of California.

Perhaps the whole cybersecurity theatre is just that, a charade. The frenzy for these tools proves it. IoT was apparently so boring that the main concern was security. AI is so much fun that for the vast majority of hackers, programmers and CTOs, security is no longer just an afterthought; it's nonexistent. Nobody cares.

Tech enthusiast vs tech savvy

Super cool. Installed. It would be great if the f and b keys for moving between navigation elements circle back to the first element once reached its end.

Interesting position in a thread about the dangers of exposing yourself to the internet.

With a program or machine, I can cut the interaction at any time, walk away and not feel rude.

The points in the essay are not as exaggerated or extreme as some comments suggest. I think the central message is simple: we acquire and accumulate things we don't need for psychological or spiritual reasons, and we need to regularly introspect on our attitudes toward spending.

HN users: Let's ban AI comments in threads.

HN users, later the same day: Let's vote an AI thread to the top.

Sideloading is the only reason I'm on Android. When it goes away, I will be better with an Apple device.

Maybe this is the "running Doom" of the UI/UX crowd.

A forever trend for classical music album covers.

I thought this was going to be about apps barely working if created by vibe coding.

This is the most alien (to me) workflow that I have ever read in HN. And that includes emacs.

Same in Mexico. I just did a bank transfer that took longer than usual. It took around 10 minutes instead of 10 seconds. It was unusual for me.

My attempts to limit my children's screen time all fail when I stage activities for them. But I soon as I try to use my watercolours, my musical instruments or any other passtime of my own, my kids drop the devices and try to do the same activity with me. Its tiresome and charming at the same time.

Nice analysis. I cant do something similar, because I use a myriad of devices. Since last week I have tried to simply spend less time on the phone. I want to gradually get to <1 hr a week.

I actively avoid using a MS account on my local Windows machines. Until last week when I logged into Teams and Windows activated that account as the Windows account on the next boot. The problem is: I was using my wife's laptop. I dunno how to remove the account without creating more problems.

I like this direct and sensible approach.

Yeah the premise of the article is totally wrong.

>Reading that defined Quora in my mind for the next few years.

Because he was an impersonator? Or because he really was Joe Bloe?

Is there any solution that works inside Google Docs? The lack of a native tree view in GD is a big stopper for me.

Sometimes autocomplete works for me, so I avoid the "auto" vs "automobile" but it falls apart as soon as I realize I have "autombile" suggested and now I wonder what to do to re-tag files.

Plexamp is a good player for your local files (personal server) that you can stream.

As per HN headlines, files are hard, git is hard, regex is hard, time zones are hard, money as data type is hard, hiring is hard, people is hard.

I wonder what is easy.

Last FIFA World Cup I was looking for recaps on Youtube after the day's matches. A lot of results were unofficial videogame recreations (think XBox EA Sports FC) of the real match final score. It was very weird.

Not as old, but I loved reading about this:

350 year old paper cuttings found under Sutton House floorboards go on display [0]

It really feels immediate

Watched it some days ago for the first time, incredible battle scenes.

If you use round instead of floor an error persists. So all clocks that don't show seconds are always wrong.
