having a nominal charge would probably lead to less abuse of the system, and any contribution to the upkeep/maintenance would be welcome, I'd imagine

is it like a sunk cost issue? 'cos AAA computer games seem to have that issue

I always remember that reference from mallrats ... I had never thought to look up what they were actually talking about

they have a gif at the bottom of the article which looks like game of life

can someone explain this bit to me:

Break the wall

Whose wall?

Count the total counter-clockwise starting from the dealer (East = 1).

東 East 1 · 5 · 9

南 South 2 · 6 · 10

西 West 3 · 7 · 11

北 North 4 · 8 · 12

East -> South -> West -> North - is that not clockwise? What am I missing?

OT, but I love the author's retro homepage. Just seeing that made me smile this morning

if there's one surprising thing I've learnt from HN users, it's that there're loads of people out there who run browsers with zillions of tabs open all the time

is it to do with patten matching maybe? maybe autists can spot sociopaths 'cos they behave just ever so slightly differently ... and maybe you can recognize AI text 'cos you see a pattern in the content which non-autists do not?

This is a perspective I'd like to hear more often. Too often I hear all these supposed ideal solutions without mentioning the pitfalls of having to support a non-technical family.

Pi hole is a good example. Do all websites (and other services) still work perfectly but without ads, or am I going to have to endure sighing and eyerolling everytime someone asks me why their site isn't loading (again)?

There's also one in Hong Kong, surprisingly.

I didn't have a "shower clause" in my employment contract

what's a shower clause?

EDIT:

"That’s the clause that says your employer owns every idea that you come up with in the shower."

I would love to have such a simple car, here in the uk.

Something tells me though, that if such a company got successful, it wouldn't be long before the features started creeping back in, to justify an increase in price.

I'm hearing this sentiment a lot, and I agree. I hope Argos are forward thinking and aware enough to capitalise on this opportunity to improve their services further.

The anticipation was palpable, with at least six other tourists wandering the cold brick hall, there to hear the final hours of this loud and, after a time, torturous sound.

Just reading that line alone brightened up my morning. You can admire something and still find it a bit silly.

That was my first thought as well.

Supposing this project gets off the ground, maybe even somehow surpasses linkedin, some investor will come along, flash a big pile of cash at the owner and bam, through various monetization strategies to make back that money, you end up back at linkedin.

Linkedin isn't the way it is because they didn't know how to make good UI.

even if it's the same stuff, it's interesting to see different comments

I think a lot of the time, I find more value in the comments and discussion than the actual article

rendering a static website

2advanced was the epitome of flash design. I don't think I was ever really paying much attention to the content, but it was fun to interact with the UI.

All on canvas now, but same kinda feel. Makes me think of command and conquer.

makes me think of Final Fantasy 7, which came out around the same time

randy's also written the cute framework and is super helpful on discord, if you're into that sorta thing.

I'm sure I've also spotted him in the SDL channels.

yeah - I don't know why OP makes that sorta assumption. I'd expect angry replies with no benefits to the time wasted on my part.
