"A collective name for ancient species that are not human and are typically considered evil by human civilizations of the Seventh Age. They arrived at the dawn of time, under unclear circumstances. Since the Second Age, they have been involved with varying intensity in various wars between species, fought partly against each other and partly against other species. Since the Third Age, their largest groups have been forced underground or underwater. However, their power does not lie in their numbers—the human races and other descendant species far surpass them in this respect—but in their natural magical abilities, their proficiency in ancient magic, and the knowledge and experience gained from their immeasurable age."

aquir··on Crest – an Arc-inspired open-source browser for Mac
My issue with this kind of browsers that I want a space to have it's own window and afaik it's not possible?
aquir··on Amazon's delivery driver smart glasses will take photos 'almost constantly'
We'll need door frames covered with powerful IR emitters and ultrasound inducers so these perv-glasses will not "see" or "read" anything
aquir··on DoorDash Spent $1.4M Trying to Stop Mamdani from Becoming Mayor. Now We Know Why
I hope no one orders from anything from them ever again
aquir··on Trump rejects global entity for AI oversight
Who cares? He’s a muppet and he’s not interested if there’s no money in it for him or his family.
aquir··on Everyday Tiktokers Are Making $6k a Month Posting Stealth Ads
Yes, as I told my daughter, TikTok (or any social media app for that matter) is like heroin. Better not start taking it because it’s too addictive
aquir··on Diablo V
The first Diablo game that I will not buy :(

I've enjoyed the first 3 immensely, 4 is much less. Genre defining great games for sure!

aquir··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (September 2026)
Location: Dorset, UK Remote: Yes. UK remote preferred; London hybrid 1–2 days/week is fine. Willing to relocate: No Technologies: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central / NAV, AL, C#, Azure, Azure Functions, SQL, REST/OData APIs, Git/GitHub, Azure DevOps, CI/CD, Power Platform, Docker, Python, LLMs/AI agents, MCP, Lean Résumé/CV: Available on request Email: hn@ahforgetit.com

20+ years building, fixing and modernising enterprise software, mostly around Microsoft Dynamics NAV / Business Central. I've worked across development, technical consulting, solution architecture, product and engineering leadership, including leading a ~15-person BC engineering team.

My particular niche is the ugly boundary between business systems and software architecture: deciding what should remain standard ERP behaviour, what deserves custom code, designing integration-heavy systems, untangling legacy implementations, performance work, and stopping twenty years of accumulated technical debt from being faithfully recreated in the cloud.

More recently I've been working heavily with AI-assisted engineering and exploring how LLMs, agents, formal specifications and MCP-style interfaces can change the way enterprise software is designed and maintained. I'm building projects around AI + ERP, including tooling for Business Central and a Lean-based formal model of ERP/accounting behaviour.

I'm looking for Staff/Principal/Architect-level work where deep enterprise systems knowledge is useful rather than embarrassing: Enterprise AI, applied AI for business software, ERP/platform architecture, developer tooling, or technically serious Business Central architecture.

I don't need the next job to be "a Dynamics job." In fact, the interesting problem for me is taking two decades of experience with complex, stateful, business-critical systems and applying it to what we're building next.

aquir··on Nitter and XCancel receive cease and desist notices
What a shame, I've used the Twitter/X -> RSS quite a lot to follow accounts.
aquir··on Dolly Parton has died
Even the metalheads adored her: https://www.reddit.com/r/MetalForTheMasses/comments/1vyofwx/...

As Clarac94 said: "Her philosophy and way of being was metal af, look up her book schemes and charity work and how she stuck up for people like the gay community. She was unapologetically herself, always even when criticised or mocked. RIP Dolly!"

aquir··on Casio F-B100W-1A
No vibration...what a missed opportunity! The reason that I got into smartwatches is the vibration wake-up alarm
aquir··on Ask HN: How do you keep up with HN these days?
I just open the page and scroll through the first couple of pages…
aquir··on Hannah Fry Wins the Leelavati Prize in 2026 for Mathematics Outreach
She is one of my favourite humans. Clever, witty, funny, hot and on the top I love the (timbre of) her voice. I listen to it on the podcast that she does with Michael Steven (The Rest is Science).
aquir··on Orion Browser by Kagi
Very fast and good UI but the iCloud passwords integration is very poor :(
aquir··on Chat Control passed first round in EU Parliament
Hopefully this could be the first good thing about Brexit...this might not get implemented in the UK or there will be a delay!
aquir··on EU to legislate about Chat Control behind closed doors
What's to point of all this? Everyone will use Signal or some other E2E encrypted messenger, this is just bone tossing. Useless politicans spending time on useless things.
aquir··on Flock cameras track more than your license plate, and they're spreading fast
I don't get why any of these devices are still intact...
aquir··on Ryanair dark UX patterns summer 2026 refresher
The whole "digital boarding pass" is a lie. My dad don't have a smartphone so you check in at home and at the airport at the desk they print the boarding pass for you if you checked in. Sorted.
aquir··on The 29th International Obfuscated C Code Contest (IOCCC) 2025 Winners
The website itself is obfuscated, it’s not easy to find the C sources at all!
aquir··on Mouseless – keyboard-driven control of macOS/Linux/Windows
Thank you for this! I was looking for something like this for ages! Used very similar in browsers but never imagined to have a system-wide version!
aquir··on Meta Silently Added Face-Recognition for Its Smart Glasses to Phones
Meta should be wiped from this planet...when I read sh*t like this I always say something like "this is the worse" until next week when something even worse comes out re Meta
aquir··on Dear Microsoft, enough is enough
Internet Explorer all over again...they never learn. Edge was the last thing that pushed me away from Microsoft. The constant new - privacy invading - features, frickin' widgets and ad-filled home-screen-tab-thing.
aquir··on Meta enables ADB on deprecated Portal devices [video]
How much telemetry goes back to Meta from these devices still? I’m already looking for one on Gumtree and they’re quite cheap! Quite a few sizes as well! I always wanted a customisable desk tablet thingy!
aquir··on Meta workers can opt out of being tracked at work up to 30 min
I mean I would want to do this when I do confidential stuff like HR and Payroll. I would be interested above what level are employees are exempt from this. I don't think Meta wants to train their AI on their own C-Level execs but who knows...it's Meta
aquir··on I am retiring from tech to live offline
I would go offline but never retire from tech, I would miss music terribly. I would also move all my ebooks over to an e-reader and that's it. If I can live somewhere offline with my music player and e-reader that's fine.
aquir··on Google changes its search box
Time to pay for Kagi everyone!
aquir··on California's Battery Array Is as Powerful as 12 Nuclear Power Plants
We need something like this in the UK given the constant abundance of renewable energy.
aquir··on Setting up a free *.city.state.us locality domain (2025)
someone has already registered all county.uk domains in 2019 :(
aquir··on Setting up a free *.city.state.us locality domain (2025)
I wish there would be something like this in the UK but with county instead of state. E.g. swindon.wiltshire.uk or sheffield.southyorkshire.uk
aquir··on I let AI build a tool to help me figure out what was waking me up at night
I know what is waking me up at night...my neighbour is going out to smoke weed at 0:30am and 3:00am and the smoke wafts into my room (it is warm enough to leave one window slightly open). He's also listening to some podcast w/o earphones and also coughing a lot because of smoking the weed.
aquir··on Show HN: WhatCable, a tiny menu bar app for inspecting USB-C cables
Good stuff, but it's telling me that my USB-C Thunderbolt cable has been plugged in upside down but the connector handled this. I was not aware that you can plug in something into USB-C upside down!
