Aren't they primarilly incinerated? (which, unless you carefully capture exhaust, isn't much better)

I do have real use-case, though : lights on a cable system, but long enough to light different areas (dining table AND couch, for instance). It's quite convenient to be able to control each area separately, instead of needing to turn them all on or all off.

Isn't that functionnaly the same as Synergy (which was opensource but isn't anymore), and it's opensource fork Barrier (https://github.com/debauchee/barrier) ?

Maybe it's using IPFS to share encrypted pieces of data, and only shares encryption keys through Tor?

Still not a reason for parents to follow. Replace "smartphone" with "heroin" or "taser" and ask the same question.

It does somewhat add up. I'm 42, and got our first 33.6k modem around 13-14yo. And we definitely weren't the first ones in my relatives.

> but magnets like that are pretty hard to find.

Though, so far, room temperature superconductors have been even harder.

Disclaimer : I have not yet played LAC, but I used to play GL117 (which LAC is heavily based on).

Though visually it's bit behind what we've been used to, I found some of the fun I had when much younger in F22 Retaliator. And at least, in GL117 (and LAC, I guess) we have a bit of height variation in terrain ;)

It looks and feels pretty cool, great potential here. Somehow reminds me of CityBound (whose dev doesn't seem too active these days, alas)

I like calls and texts as well ;)

One option would be to have a 5G hotspot AND vowifi feature phone, but it'd be much more convenient as a single package (not to mention I'm not even sure there are more vowifi feature phones than 5G feature phones)

That's a real good question. I always supposed their name was out before smartphones (which are definitely more "featured") existed.

For anyone interested, there is a database here : https://dumbphones.pory.app/

More for connection sharing/tethering, actually. Just because I don't want to use a smartphone so often doesn't mean I don't have a laptop with me.

Very interesting, but how do lucid dreaming could exist if there's nothing more than remembering? Are we, in fact, just remembering we've been lucid ? (and, thus, haven't really been?)

For what it's worth, we had much better response from our kids with Gravitrax the Game (https://www.ravensburger.co.uk/en-GB/products/gravitrax/expe...) than the regular one. The material is basically the same (and thus could also work at extending a starter set), but there are cards with puzzle included, difficulty ramps up nicely, and the kids got more involved than with the "freeform" approach.

Turing Tumble has also been a big hit at our place, but it's clearly more for older kids (https://upperstory.com/turingtumble/)

UpperStory also has a new game (Spintronics) which looks awesome, but I haven't had the opportunity to test it.

I got an used PCoIP card and compatible thin-client, and now I only move a dual-screen stand with said thin-client wherever I work in the house, while my workstation sits cool in the basement.

> I'm happy to accept the scooter menace if it means fewer cars on the road.

At least here in Paris, it doesn't feel like scooters replace cars : the latter being mostly used to reach suburbs (and most of them actually originating from another suburb), while the former replaces long walks - at least journeys which would have been done by foot twenty years ago - or métro.

You're right : `The CPU version is released as binary code under the MIT license`. That's quite an unusual choice, not even sure how MIT would apply to that...

Weren't he rather addressing the "throwaway" user's comment?

is it just me, or is there some weird perspective glitch on the ground grid?

I'm not sure pointing to Google is "correcting him". But yeah, a good guide on how to use IPFS as an hidden service would be pretty useful.

(edit:typo)

Any pointer on that?

I somehow remember a thing about tickling being actually two mechanisms, biologically speaking. One is the light, very superficial tickling which only makes you smile, the other is the more intense kind which is able to induce full-on laughter. And they've both have very different evolutionnary hypothesis as to why they exist in modern humans.

AFAIK, the light kind can be self-inflicted. The other can't.

Would you care to develop on that? (either the reasons or why you don't agree with them)

I don't know about standards-based, but Vircadia is interesting (and simple to self-host). Mozilla Hubs is easier to use, but much harder to self-host unless you follow their recommandation and use AWS.

I think there something Matrix side which hasn't handled the HN-induced load too well. Even on a locally-hosted instance of thirdroom (quite easy to do, by the way, congrats on that), I've got a bunch of matrix-client.matrix.org requests that timeout.
