16mb··on Ask HN: Who is quitting? (July 2026)
Nope the original poster, but check out gravel bikes. They’re essentially the geometry of a relaxed road bikes with massive tire clearance to make the rides more comfortable.

Lots of new bike tech, so depending on how old your “old” bike is. I would recommend going to stores and doing some test rides. Enjoy!

16mb··on My Steam Machine is a 50ft HDMI cable
Why not? I’ve been using 75ft fibre optic HDMIs for a few years now and can play counter-strike on it like normal. They work great
16mb··on Your website is not for you
Those were never really that difficult to implement. The agentic way still requires proper communication, which is often what projects lack so I don’t see it changing much.
16mb··on Fear and denial in Silicon Valley over social media addiction trial
I mean, I think they should at least be required to display its negative effects on your health prominently on the product.
16mb··on Apple randomly closes bug reports unless you "verify" the bug remains unfixed
I’ve been dealing with ElevenLabs pulling this same garbage.

I’ll fill out a bug report, wait a few days to a week to get a response, which are often AI generated, and then 48 hours afterward their bot marks it as stale. Telling me to check if it’s still broken or they assume it’s fixed lol

16mb··on Canada's bill C-22 mandates mass metadata surveillance
Do you have a source of people’s bank being frozen for backing those orgs?
16mb··on I’m joining OpenAI
How many are bots?
16mb··on Amazon cuts 16k jobs
I have been noticing recently that the level of quality of Amazon support has been dropping steadily. And I’ve also been trying to do the same, shopping elsewhere.
16mb··on Next.js is infuriating
I would recommend React Router over Tanstack. I tried both and RR was so much easier and more reliable.

Tanstack seems to be following Next.js in that they’re just over complicating everything and their docs felt lacking for the most of their features.

16mb··on Why Aren't People Going to Local and Regional In-Person Events Anymore?
I myself am full time remote and look forward to attending one annual tech conference.

For me it feels like a nice event. Being related to my career, learning something new from passionate people and stepping out of my comfort zone a bit, all while not having to think much about work.

16mb··on The Great Barefoot Running Hysteria of 2010
Ice skates in particular are sold in different widths. But yes it’s the norm that the “regular” or narrow fit is the default.
16mb··on Federal workers ordered to return to offices without desks, Wi-Fi and lights
40 years ago would be after 1985.
16mb··on Executive wealth as a factor in return-to-office
Or we build things that people actually want to use in those prime locations.
16mb··on Executive wealth as a factor in return-to-office
The city and those business need to change to meet the shift. They are just being greedy and seem to want us workers to both support ourselves and bail them out.
16mb··on The man who spent forty-two years at the Beverly Hills Hotel pool (1993)
I thought the journey was well-written, captivating and worth the read.
16mb··on Never Missing the Train Again
I had the same problems with Google Maps. I ended up using Apple Maps in Japan and it gave much more realistic routes
16mb··on Half of Workers Around the World Are Struggling with Burnout
No not typically. In my experience most people work 40-45 hours at the boring companies that I’ve been at
16mb··on RuneLite – open-source RuneScape Client
Yup pretty much. There’s a large percentage of the community botting. Most of the bot builders have forked RuneLite to add custom scripts for automating tasks.

Jagex has made some improvements to their bot detection mostly through detecting if you’re playing on an “approved” build of RuneLite (the primary repo) in the past year or so, but this method went undetected for so long that many have maxed their accounts.

16mb··on Ask HN: Freelance website builders/maintainers, what's in your 2024 toolkit?
As much as I love ruby and the rails structure, and while I continue to write projects with rails, I no longer really recommend it to peers.

The TS/JS ecosystem is just much larger and that comes with newer libraries, tools and has better support. Getting setup with a basic CRUD rails app is quick, but the more advanced work; auth, deployments, scale, etc. can be frustrating for newcomers.

Not a fan of how they’re going all in on Hotwire. Although I haven’t been following those advancements much lately.

They really need to have some easy way to just roll their api only mode with a stand alone frontend, along with documentation on configuring that.

You just can’t beat the proficiency of using the same types on front and backend. I did enjoy trying out redwoodjs.

16mb··on Children of married parents do better, but America is moving the other way
I assume it’s a bit more likely to do with the lack of junk foods and increased physical activity.
16mb··on Degreeless.Design: A curated resource list to kickstart your design education
Not sure if you’re the creator, but the “Fonts In Use” link under Design Foundations looks to be pointing to typogui.de by mistake.
16mb··on Bring Your Own Password Manager: Portable BitWarden on a Pi Zero
I ended up getting some ROCK64 boards instead. They’re a great price

One downside is the PoE hats are massive

16mb··on RIP Stack Overflow Jobs
I don’t see an option for filtering by salary. Unless it’s just missing from mobile web
16mb··on Ask HN: How to optimize your career for happiness?
How did you find contracts? And any advice for someone looking to get started without much of a network
16mb··on Find anything fast with Google's vector search technology
I’ve resorted to playing modern with high quality fakes. Otherwise wouldn’t have the budget. Checkout bootlegmtg on reddit
16mb··on All Hail King Pokémon
You can check mtggoldfish https://www.mtggoldfish.com/index/vintage#paper
16mb··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2018)
Would you be open to recent grads?
