Be wary of Bluesky 5 months ago

Sorry, meant say that Blacksky is much more important than the metrics you point to, with more detail on that wiki.

They're the first alternative full stack, the first alternative AppView, and that is something that the author should have mentioned. However, it weakens the argument so they left it out.

"Number of contributors" has never meant impact. You wouldn't dismiss openssl or curl, ya know?

I disagree. Notable and impacting politics are often here and foster interesting discussions.

Everything is political, and nowadays everything has relation to tech. ICE is being supported by Palantir and many defense tech companies and that technology impacts and perfects the terror and abuse by ICE in Minneapolis.

It's important for us to talk about this, especially when it is uncomfortable.

Different people have different levels of internal monologuing or none at all. I don't generally think with words in sentences in my head, but many people I know do.

I've found better results when I treat LLMs like you would treat little kids. Don't tell them what NOT to do, tell them what TO do.

Say "keep your hands at your side, it's hot" and not "don't touch the stove, it's hot". If you say the latter, most kids touch the stove.

That's how I feel about keyboard tilts away from a full pronation/flat and towards a neutral position. Once I switched to having a rotated split keyboard, my forearms and wrists felt incredible, and I hadn't even considered them uncomfortable before.

Yes that's true they can roam outside, but roaming outside does not massively increase their chance of picking up bird flu.

For the same reason that the main guidance during COVID was "be outside if with other people" and not "stay inside if with other people".

There was a price increase, but there was also an explicit elevation of Disney+ from a "Pressure Target" to a "Priority Target" of the BDS movement last December.[1]

I know anecdotally dozens of people, including myself, who have made the sometimes difficult decision to cancel Disney+ subscriptions to avoid crossing the picket line. I haven't heard anyone making a fuss about the price increase, specifically.

That's true when you're talking about foxes and wolves, but not if you're talking about an airborne flu.

Rows of adjacent cages keeping groups of chickens in close proximity with each other with shared air.

Ah I don't run any LSPs so that's fair.

Retaining positions, buffers, and edit history between sessions is all straightforward in vanilla vim though. Unless you run an autolinter or formatter that edits your target file and wipes the history.

What editor state are you losing when you leave vim?

I run a pretty light vanilla vimrc (60 lines maybe) and with two lines you can enable vim undofiles and returning the cursor to the last location upom reopening a file. For me, quitting vim is functionally equivalent to ^Z?

If anyone else was curious about the final image and the `x÷` button: http://www.vintagecalculators.com/html/sharp_el-8.html

----

The keyboard on this calculator has the number of keys reduced to the minimum by the use of only three function keys, including a combined "x÷" key.

Here, pressing "x÷" gives the multiplication function if "+=" is subsequently pressed to give the answer, and gives the division function if "-=" is subsequently pressed to give the answer, so:

4 x÷ 2 += gives the answer 8.

4 x÷ 2 -= gives the answer 2.

I'm curious why you have your post set to be posted on 2025-06-24 instead today? Is that to maintain a post schedule?

I got my current chair nearby, possibly where OP is talking about. I wanted to be able to sit and adjust chairs and needed one that would tilt forward. Their selection is a bit chaotic and didn't have the chair I really wanted, but I liked being able to try out a few.

I think you'll have similar success watching Gumtree, craigslist, etc.

I think that's still pretty modern. My stream setup uses liquidsoap to generate HLS files which are served as a livestream directly from Tigris/S3. But a lot of users of liquidsoap still use the icecast output I think.

A quick check of your recent HN comments proves to me that you have only ever researched / trusted a single narrative and talking about this with you won't be very productive.

I think you would find it useful, even for supporting your current arguments more substantially, to read any of the following (in order of recommendation):

    - The Hundred Years' War on Palestine
    - The Holocaust Industry
    - Except for Palestine
I also used to justify or overlook Israel's history and military actions in the same way but once you allow yourself to hear from scholars on both sides, you can't really go back to who you were before.

I disagree. #1 this topic is not as divisive as it may seem. There is consensus as to what is happening and only a minority of the world thinks otherwise.

#2 Israel is a major tech partner and most large tech companies have offices in Tel Aviv. Many startups that we discuss here are headquartered in Tel Aviv. The head of state of the country having an ICC arrest warrant and the situation at large have major consequences to the tech world and thus HackerNews users have a unique lens through which to have discourse. Discourse with an angle that you won't find elsewhere this is discussed.

I CAN JUST TURN TARGETED ADS OFF

The only reason you have the option to do this is because of groups pushing back against advertising companies. Ad companies have no incentive to offer the option to disable targeting.

If you like having this option available, then you should like this FTC report and the position they are taking.
