caycecanon Magical Realism: “Northern Exposure” 25 Years Later (2015)

Jessie the Bear episode, it ends with Enya's "Carribran Blue", is "The Constant" of the 90s.

- I looked it up season 3 episode 18 "The Final Frontier".

caycecanon FastCGI: 30 years old and still the better protocol for reverse proxies

I'm here looking to speed up rendering.

Near the end you start to describe the paradigm the machines build in The Matrix. Neo is the aberration they seek to reincorporate to sustain their inability to innovate.

caycecanon Halt and Catch Fire: TV’s best drama you’ve probably never heard of (2021)

This is cool.

I tried Perpetual Grace and didn't get it. If it's a 4th-episode-it-gets-good show I'll dive back in.

Evil got cancelled with a 6 episode finish, which is unheard of when making TV. It wanders around, and has highlights in each season. The x-files got real sloppy near the end too.

Also in the running for great title sequences as well

Joe Bennet, right?

I will binge anything he makes with the double bullseye of these shows

caycecanon Halt and Catch Fire: TV’s best drama you’ve probably never heard of (2021)

He has something to do with this show as well which was obtuse enough to keep me at a distance. It's an unhinged, detective story with puppets in a noir-laden city grit setting.

HACF is a goodie but there's a lot of great shows no one's heard of.

In an effort to sing the song of underappreciated works of greatness...

Scavengers Reign - Robinson Crusoe by way of a nature documentary of a very bizarre alien planet. imdb.com/title/tt21056886/

Common Side Effects - cops, robbers, magic mushrooms, corporate bad guys and the cure for everything. imdb.com/title/tt28093628

One of the better CG title sequences. They don't belabour it, get the visual concept across and wham! Show starts.

caycecanon How to live an intellectually rich life

There are some works from the more recent past that might add to this list:

caycecanon Show HN: SuperSplat – open-source 3D Gaussian Splat Editor

Relightable gaussian splats - https://junxuan-li.github.io/urgca-website/

caycecanon Segment Anything Model and Friends

I would love to learn more about Grounded-Segment Anything in an article similar to this one along with the speed implications.

caycecanon What if regular exercise is the best cognitive exercise?

Barbara Tversky's book "Mind in Motion" is a great read on how our minds are inextricable form locomotion will add tons of data and hypotheses to this idea https://www.amazon.com/Mind-Motion-Action-Shapes-Thought/dp/...

And yes her husband was Amos Tversky, co-author of "Thinking, Fast and Slow"

caycecanon The Factorio Mindset

Recently discovered Satisfactory. It's roughly GTA2 vs GTA3 when compared to Factorio (2d top down vs 3d open world). I'd love to hear peoples thoughts on the two games and what one does well vs the other. What people get out of either.

caycecanon Show HN: An infinitely nested task manager where progress bubbles up to the top

I also would like to be able to make a single point blocked by multiple points.

I really love this as it might obviate Trello - I have two details that might add to the experience.

Drag and drop functionality to move bullets and lists up and down so that points aren’t locked into the order you input them in (exactly how Trello works)

Support for link recognition (any link will auto underline and become a working web link)

caycecanon Ask HN: Freelance Management Services/Apps

Gsuite / Trello / Toggl / Xero . This is comprehensive as I have found a combination of services to be and still be relatively low overhead.
