Love this type of historical research article. Thank you for sharing

The new annual plan, 100 years. Sign up monthly or centurly

It’s interesting to see how a lot of new gas cars have Apple CarPlay / Android Auto but all of the new EV cars are going towards custom OS which essentially leads to worse user experiences for manufacturers who aren’t well versed in software.

Apache Tika has worked well for me in the past, ended up running it on an AWS Lambda

What caused this bank to go under?

I love their beer and look forward to the Christmas Ale Magnum bottles every year.

I hope the employees are able to buy it and run it for many years to come. Big beer has been buying up and killing way too many breweries.

The 20 sided one was forsure for their ancient version of Dungeons and Dragons

As someone wanting to read lots of books and articles, this really resonates with me. Not having to read everything but picking and choosing a few here and there

Web dev here - I use to have three monitors early on in my career. Two side by side and one vertical for a terminal. Then eventually two and now just one large 32” 4k UHD one.

Having one has definitely helped me focus better. Left side of the screen is the browser and the right is VSCode with a terminal in the bottom half. It’s my ideal setup as of last 5 years.

I assume this might be available on the alternative app stores as a result of EUs rulings on anti-trust?

I wonder when this will have mainstream applications. It also blows my mind that civilization over 1,900 years ago came up with this and we’re now discovering it

Absolutely incredible the level of detail in that fossil

This really resonates with me. Thank you for sharing. I never really considered the fact that skimming articles on the web can have such an impact on me as well, especially when I don’t read long form content or books as often as I did in college.

Reminds me of Wheelies when we were kids

Got mine today as well, $17

A bunch of headlines on there could totally be on HN. Love it!

I don’t know if I have ADHD but this Brown Noise Loops album relaxes the heck out of me at night time and helps me fall asleep much faster than without it.

I stopped watching and reading the news about 6 years ago. I’ve never felt better. It always put me in this negative feel bad headspace.

The content I consume now is HN, Reddit, and direct sources of things I find interesting or want to learn more about. I stopped Twitter within the last two years because it was too much, “let me tell you why X, click thread below for 5 reasons”.

I’ve been told I’m ignorant or that it’s embarrassing that I don’t know about current events but honestly I don’t really care and it feels great. I’m able to focus on what I really care about and be in a positive headspace.

Wizards of the Coast needs to do this for Magic cards, especially with all of the new releases that have new types of foils

The cards keep flickering on my phone - latest iOS

The stage mode looks like an interesting attempt for desktop like productivity with an external monitor.

I can’t wait for Apple to add this to iCloud

Uber is way more expensive and less reliable in the SF Bay Area for me

As a long time GameFAQs user I feel like the service will be destroyed by ads

I wasn’t able to create an account either, didn’t say why just gave me an error. Disappointing after I gave them all the info they wanted. Stable Diffusion and Midjourney it is

I love their visuals / filters of the products. A lot of times I don’t know what a part is called on go on there to browse

Hanging out with the kids, going to the park, running errands.

Thank you for all the NextDNS recommendations. I’ve been looking for something to help block adds that isn’t a VPN on iOS.

Just curious what do folks think of AdGuard. I’ve seen that come up on Reddit but looking at their website it doesn’t look trustworthy and I couldn’t find info about what they actually track.
