The catch is where the book begins, not what it is about.

one of its most prominent users

Was this written by AI?

Even without considering vibecoding, compile time and compiler/lsp memory usage are my main concerns with Haskell. In fact, I'd say they're even more of an issue if you're going without LLM's since they affect human beings ;)

NPM

There was researcher who said that democracies are strengthened by

* Good libraries

* Local news papers

* Volunteering

which all have to do with increasing community, seeing real people with different perspectives, gaining real knowledge.

Bookshop.org lets you filter by drm when you search.

https://www.bloomsbury.com has drm free stuff, and after https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42811332 i respect them even more.

Also might be worth scanning old mentions of such https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

Can one buy Tor books without going through Amazon? I had trouble doing that last I tried.

Same here. When I was younger I liked imagining having conversations with people from the past like Plato or something, thinking about their reactions to The Future. (Though I guess I only really imagined my own side of the conversation.)

Add in a zip bomb or two?

"Trophic" typically means nutritional, what's the connection here?

Fascinating stuff regardless.

For me the biggest blocker is just picking a task from my todo list when I don't have someone asking me (today) and I didn't leave a task half finished. If it's been >1d since someone asked me for something, I'm often fairly paralyzed for a while and it's a huge exertion to commit to a task. But when I get going I'm fine. TODO lists, gtd, calendars or AI don't seem to help me there.

Good to hear I'm not the only one.

How would you know? What evidence can you put forth that say a dog or dormouse does not have a conscious experience, but your next door neighbour (presumably human) has?

Is there a plain pdf? That page was extremely hard to read and Reader mode doesn't seem to handle it in Firefox

Hm, I wonder if these sections could be made to fetch things async (and collapsed by default so things don't pop up in your face until you click).

I also suspect timings will be very repo specific, eg most of mine don't have very many tags.

Do you pronounce it like uruk hai?

Thiel clearly loves the sword for its sharpness

Palantir ceo too: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/alex-karp-wielding-a-sword

2016: this monstrous intellectual creature, through devious modeling of what our emotions and intellect are like, will be able to persuade us to do things like give it access to factories, synthesize custom DNA, or simply let it connect to the Internet, where it can hack its way into anything it likes and completely obliterate everyone in arguments on message boards.

2026: hold my molt beer

(I love how "connect an ai to the internet" is always the precursor to doom in pre-2022 scifi scenarios, and then as soon as we get something we call ai we hit that big red button)

Go go Streisand effect. This gag order will be great for her book.

She should do a tour of the US with someone asking her questions and she just not responding.

the new parts probably won't work in the old machine

Except with framework, where you can actually upgrade it piecewise. The CEO had a video showing of them doing it in like 10 minutes, part by part

Ad for Huawei?

Reminds me of a certain scene from Knausgård's Morning Star.

For myself, i keep an encrypted usb disk with rsynced backups at my parent's place. Office drawer is another popular option. Another drive at home. Swap them every so often.

On hn, a joke increases its fun factor by being over-explained in excruciating detail with several digressions into related jokes and the history and philosophy of joking, and someone ends up showing a site they made with all the possible variations of that joke and something about the scrolljacking css annoys one of the commenters enough that they break in and fix it.

Ehh.. much as I love syncthing, I wouldn't recommend it to nontechnical people. I mean, here the dad has android the mom iphone amd they want to sync a keepass file? Maybe with a browser addon on a desktop as well? And the most popular third party android app is discontinued (I use the nerdily named syncthing-fork) and the ios apps i never managed to get to work for my family (maybe sushitrain works now?). But if you live close to parents I guess it can work. This kind of software can be good for social cohesion and less isolation =P

I use syncthing-fork from fdroid, works great

red tape

Just frame it as "this drug lets you send scarred soldiers right back into the fray for pennies" and see that red tape dissolve

Anyone here used this for anything? It seems very nice, but I struggle to see how I would use it in practice.

Gutenberg is awesome. There is also

https://runeberg.org/ from Sweden

Yeah, why doesn't Norway spend the oil money on soccer teams and golden airplanes like a respectable and proper oil nation, instead of squandering it on reprobate socialist pension funds? Those lefse-eaters will just waste it on EV's and sensible woolen sweaters.
