This is going to be a huge problem for society fairly soon and it's not something you can turn around in an instant.

Want to play any Commander deck with friends on the cheap? Spelltable + OBS (or any desktop streaming software) + Moxfield in deck playtest mode.

What is inherently wrong with co-branded product? Do you have any data to back up "exiting players"? I don't think we really have a good read on that. The MagicCons I've been to have been increasingly packed with people.

They're in a tough spot because they have to keep several audiences happy: collectors and players. Players generally want the cheapest set pieces while collectors want the value of their collection to grow. I think WotC has done a decent job trying to satisfy both groups and are at least trying different things. As an investor, you should be happy about that. Whether or not this sea change of releases over the pandemic helps or hurts the long-term health of the game is a worry of mine.

This got me to take a look at the Rails site and go through the Getting Started tutorial. It's really well-written and is probably amongst the best documentation I've seen out there. I would love to do more projects in Rails now.

Ever since I went to Stash Café in Montreal, I get Polish food wherever I can: https://restaurantstashcafe.ca/en/home-english. There is something about Polish food that feels like it's universally comforting to all who try it.

This is going to sound like a real dumb reason to avoid a Tesla but it disappoints me that they don't have Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. I tried them in rental cars over the past year and now that's a must-have in my next car.

I was very close to buying an EV this summer but ended up not getting it. It felt like I could get an equivalent ICE car for about $20K cheaper.

I did a lot of research about EV charging and the more I read the more I felt I didn't understand how it would practically work. I make a long trip every month or so and it sounds like the EV charging network isn't quite to where the point where it's as easy, quick, and cost efficient as filling up gas in an ICE car.

I think I'm going to wait for another 8-10 years for the kinks and range to be worked out. PHEV or Hybrid for me until then.

I recently found out you can do that on one of the roads to the entrance of the Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy museum in Dulles. Nowhere near as Gravely Point, but it will do in a pinch.

My takeaway is that clustering is a distress signal and that reducing distress would be the humane thing to do assuming that insects feel pain.

I was curious as to why an algorithmic trading firm is sponsoring this. What's in it for them?

I'm asking this question out of ignorance: if you were able to do this, why would you make it public for $10MM instead of keeping it private and exploiting it. Say, in algorithmic trading models?

Oh wow, this is a huge surprise! As a user of ChatGPT, I've been very impressed with what I've seen and this has sent shockwaves through the computing industry. I'm disappointed to see him leave but I guess we need to wait to find out what the reason behind this was.

Have you worked with people at the same professional level outside of FAANG? There are a lot of companies outside of those BigCo tech companies that pay well without the stressors that you mention.

Once they broke Google Assistant integration, I decided to replace them and never use any of their products again. I use a lot of connected devices and this is the only company that has gone backwards in terms of interop over time.

Spreadsheets: the original no-code platform. I like it. Infinitely scalable, easy to update. Most of the time when I go to an artist's site it's to find tour dates or merch. This does both okay.

Yeah, but you can get $7,500 off an electric vehicle!

Google Reader with sharing content to a "feed" and having friends comment on it was peak social media for me. I'd argue that today's social media is no different from mobile games. Designed to extract as much time, money, and knowledge about you as possible.

Does this impact Red Hat as well?

It sounds like to get these experiences I'm going to have to go far out of my way and pay a lot of money. Our ancient ancestors got it for free, and I wonder if they thought anything of it.

I presume that you don't pay for Premium? And that the average user isn't interested in installing a tech cocktail on their systems?

This will expose me as a tech boomer, but when stuff really piles up, I end up using Notepad++. There's something basic about multiple tabs with just basic text that works for me. I'm not sure why I don't revert to Sublime as it does the same exact thing!

I like that I can have multiple tabs and I just organize tasks by priority. Then I don't delete them when I'm done but I offload them to the bottom of the file. That's really helpful when I'm trying to remember something I did a long time ago.

A Patchy Server has come such a long way.

> As it turns out, getting to the Moon was the least risky part of the mission. The more dangerous — not least because it was unknown — was getting off the Moon. Collins was orbiting the command module, and it was hugely difficult to dock. Then there was the possibility of a computer malfunction or a broken ascent engine. There was the fear that the astronaut’s spacesuits could just combust because of the lunar dust interacting with oxygen in the module.

Was this whole mission way riskier than we even imagined? It seems like we got very lucky with these things succeding.

It feels like very few people read the article, just the headline, and are arguing about that.

Well it doesn't matter because the parent post completely disengaged from the site. Turning away potentially active users seems like a horrible move that the owners of SO didn't try to fix and possibly led them to where they are today.

Just tried it out. There are things I would change but it's really awesome. I actually like this more than Partiful because I didn't have to think.

I would way rather get these over Evites or Eventbrites.

I had so many fun ideas for this but once I got the basics down I stopped working on it further.

Edit: this might be one of my favorite HN posts. So many cool projects here that are actually interesting to me.

Do you have your pictures or videos posted anywhere? Trying to decide if the juice is worth the squeeze.
