Real backpacks should come equipped with a replacement zipper. In a secret pocket you will remember about it when you will need to remember.

The pain you feel when the zipper of your beloved 20-years old backpack fails is overwhelming. It rips through your soul. And all I want to do in that moment is to remember that I have a secret pocket inside it which keeps my replacement zipper. The feeling of having it there ready for me to fix my brother in arms will also give me an extra 20 years of good life. Small things. Matter. So much.

Look. It works. I just spent 5 minutes reading the messages posted on your glorious chat app. If I'd be you, i'd plant an ad just above it. Why are you complaining.

all we want to know is how to grow our own mushrooms. I clicked with high hope.

They are! I actually watch this movie pretty often just to understand why the interfaces and the fonts integrate so well into the overall plot and visual flow. So glad to see two of my favorite fonts in your list, namely IBM Plex Mono and Berkeley Mono. But you should have a look at their newest TX-02, you will be pleasantly surprised. Do share your ghostty setup! Did you manage yet to render your terminal data through the Denabase interface?

I like it when my tarot output agrees with my astrology chart output

I am actually sending some optional telemetry data as well, consciously. Telemetry I don't care about or smells it's disabled. I was referring more to some other type of creeping. I don't mind telemetry for a good cause.

I switched to Windows 10 as my main development machine few years ago after 25 years of continuously crashing Linux with an enormous pleasure. FreeBSD, well, there's nothing to crash there, that's the problem with it. Nothing. I didn't know almost anything about this Windows OS so I just started playing some sort of whac-a-mole game with it. I don't know what I did but right now I'm a happy (windows 11) user. I use Hyper-V with great success for driving my Linux and FreeBSD development. I like powershell and the dotnet platform and storage spaces and ntfs and many other. Good technologies, it feels good using. Windows terminal is almost OK. I stay away from crap like WSL and Code. I still use mutt for mail, not Office. And I can just play a game without any problems.

There's no Microsoft creep anywhere inside my daily flow. Actually, as of late, I feel more creep in Linux and FreeBSD than in Windows. Everything just works. Sometimes it tells me it has some updates for me. I let it install them and that's it. I'm back to my game, no weird stuff.

No account problem, no copilots, just my shit and myself and no Irene.

When I read about other users having trouble with it I get pretty sad. I wish I could say "do this and that" but I have no idea how my whac-a-mole game drove me to this happy situation. I must have (de)activated some (attack) vectors by mistake. But I whacamoled it head to end, from bios to wallpaper. I kept hitting and hitting, backuping, restoring, backuping,restoring, until i won. I'm on Windows 11 Pro in testing mode right now. Getting back to a linux desktop as my main? Nah, not right now. I have my i3wm running on a gpu partition inside hyper-v and sometimes I drop to it... I can't do all my arcane linux stuff in windows yet but i'm getting there. For now, I'm enjoying it. Been a while now. I just hope they don't notice me...

76! Let’s do this!

I agree and I have the evidence needed to back up your claims. Stable home life? checked. Parent-enforced discipline? checked. High parental expectations? checked. Through some involvement though, to some degree: we as parents always show real and positive interest on what our children are doing and learning without really interfering unless they explicitly ask for it, and I believe this helps dearly. I learned by doing, trying at first to get involved too much - proved to be a mistake which he corrected it by himself, jumping from an IT career to chemistry in notime and shortly hitting silver at international chemistry olympics. I never try to interfere anymore but just be there, always ready to talk about it and offer the emotional grounding they so much need. Kids will flourish. My elder is on his way to what seems to be a strong, well built medical career and my 6yr old oh boy, she's ready set.

I just finished tapping 381 times, disabling (hopefully most of?) Apple Intelligence incursions in my life on a machine I don't really use. Was wondering what will I do next. Oh, look. More crap. That will keep me busy for a while.

1. Find your hero

2. Meet your hero

3. Start an awkward conversation with your hero.

It always goes like this no matter what you try.

So happy to see Andrei Alexandrescu was included in this documentary. His book on modern C++ design was a mind opener at the time I read it. Maybe still is today. Anybody else read it?

funny, I think the same about rust.

I don't know Calbee snacks. We grew up with different chemicals in this area.

BUT. I must say, the packaging looks so much better in black and white.

It makes me think it's an honest product, whatever that means. Good feeling. Put your name on it, black on white. Sell it.

no comment

that’s not an error

amazing documentation for a product.

I wonder what font was used, couldn't tell.

i don’t think you were in a relationship long enough to draw a conclusion. actually, it’s the opposite.

awesome stuff, YT has it and modli.rs is, well, up and running.

thank you!

are you an AI asked to introduce an existential crisis? no? no matter, keep writing, seed some urls

right here with you.

"Revolutionary Road", by Richard Yates. Because it uncovers the greatest conspiracy of our time. Also "The Moviegoer" by Walker Percy, for the same reason.

The real so called "mindfuck" comes when what you read unravels the reality around you, not when it sends you in some utopia with the promise of a metaphor built to solve a great mistery you actually don't give a f... about.

P.S.This is just one of the HN threads which is more valuable than the article it refers to.

Thank you for all the good books mentioned here, HN!

any chance of getting a responsive TOC in any pdf reader whatsoever?

is the ocr system written in perl by any chance?

11mbps away, I just can't reach the goddam thing. Internal Server Error. When the fox can't reach the grapes she says they're sour anyway.

no :-| for various reasons, invented or real: 2 big physical injuries in a sequence, depression, tv... at least 2 years of stationary life. there goes the real root of my (our) cognitive impairment, no matter how much i want to blame an external uncontrollable factor.

fine. I believe you because I am experiencing the same things.

did you eliminate depression as a possible cause? I don't know how. there is no "expert help" in my country. I believe everyone around me is faking whatever they are doing, including therapy.

another thing to note: isolation. i think my isolation level just kept increasing. i entered a hole with the lockdown and i never got out, contrary. isolation could be a cause of cognitive impairment, yes? we are social animals?

can you make any sense of what i'm saying?

p.s. also my short term memory is broken.

p.s. I am also becoming increasingly paranoid because of this apparent cognitive impairment.

“ Ford even built a Stirling that could drive away from the curb (with relatively low power) twenty seconds after you turned the start key”

Can the engine be started remotely? Just asking…

Right. “Complex numbers were invented so that we can take square roots of negative numbers”

Why? I wish a textbook tell me why, right there.
