Visiting the referenced website (https://notepad-plus-plus-mac.org/), the first thing I see is a big, green Announcement that says:

  In coordination with Don Ho, the creator of the original Notepad++, I'll be evolving the branding of the macOS version so it stands on its own while respecting its lineage. These updates, such as a new logo, a refined name, and likely a new domain will ship with version 1.0.6 in the coming days. Continuity for existing users is a priority, and I'll make the transition as seamless as I can. Thank you for your patience.

Did Don Ho really coordinated with this author?! If no then why he lies and he knows he is lying? Where this path leads to?! Really weird times to be alive!!

> "We see everything - from living rooms to naked bodies," one worker reportedly said.

> Meta said this was for the purpose of improving the customer experience, and was a common practice among other companies.

Am I reading this correctly?! This is probably the weirdest statement I've read on the internet in twenty years.

The other day, I was watching a video by fpt.(@FrontPageTech) entitled Tim Cook is Leaving Apple from Mar 12, and honestly, seeing this news today, I had to go back and rewatch it again and it strikes hard on me, especially at the linked time (https://youtu.be/8xo4uG7YpJI?si=eHP5yyEOFGn85ajv&t=278). At 6:46, Jon Prosser said: John Ternus is the next CEO of Apple.

You reminded me of this submission from two months ago: I verified my LinkedIn identity. Here's what I handed over (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47098245)

This behavior of blocking some domains and IP ranges during LaLiga games has become a routine by now. You might also want to check these similar submissions:

While I agree that the $15 difference won’t make any financial difference, I look at the numbers from another angle. The main idea here, as per my understanding, is to reduce the hosting cost as much as possible.

Excellent project! This is one of the topics that keeps Hacker News ever refreshing. Seeing work get done in a way that feels like real hacking but in a positive way.

In a totally unrelated matter to the subject, I found the linked website's name very strange! Visiting the website, I can see in the address bar that the name is in Chinese or Japanese!! This is the first occurrence I witnessed of this kind.

First of all, I suggest that moderators add this to the comments' section in the linked guidelines. It should clearly states that pasting AI-generated replies is discouraged and does not fit within the community spirit.

Second, I have to confess that I did this sin a couple of times now, but I came to realize that this is neither good for me nor for the HN community. Although I used AI just for rephrasing, I decided to not do this ever and I'd rather write my own words with mistakes than post generated words based on my thoughts.

It happened for me once and it strikes me like a nuke and I felt truly embarrassed. A couple of months I wrote that comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42264786) then I asked ChatGPT to rephrase it and then mistakenly, pasted both comments, the original above and the generate one below and I hit submit. Shortly after, a user comes, read my comment and replied with that embarrassing reply and honestly, I deserve it. From that moment I realized how things can got messed up quickly when you rely heavily on that AI.

The irony is how quickly we had shifted from AI will help in curing cancer and other diseases to using AI to destroy and kill our enemies. What weird times to be alive!

I was really enjoying reading this piece until I read the above, then I realized I am reading for a big developer, the maker of, Celeste [1]. I am definitely adding this to my list of favorite articles about making games.

It's this expression that breaks the deal for me. There's always such wide, vague exception that might be interpreted differently each time, depending on the context!

> everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay.

Honestly, If I was one of those being asked to stay, I'll be more worried and stressed because, as one commented on the tweet: to those staying...what I'm asking of you is to build with me and help me replace you too

> Same comment I made a few days ago..

This! I was about to reply that you have already posted this comment four days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47092480

IMO, the title is a little bit misleading. Since it started with I think, I was expecting to read a blog post but landed on a software product instead!

Thanks for sharing this unusual experiment, I love it! This is the type of content that makes HN, HN.

Now, I started considering hiring my three little kitties and their mom for a job like this. They spend the whole day sleeping and waiting for meals but now, they have to work, hard, in collaboration with Claude Code to pay for their rent and meals :)
