emmo··on Reading fast, reading well, and reading widely (2020)
You're right, that's absolutely valid.

And there surely are plenty of non-fiction books that could be summed up in a few pages.

emmo··on Reading fast, reading well, and reading widely (2020)
I'm sorry, but that seems like an absolutely miserable way to experience books.
emmo··on Zuckerberg says FBI warning prompted Biden laptop story censorship
Time wrote an article openly gloating about it: https://time.com/5936036/secret-2020-election-campaign/
emmo··on Adventure game graphics with DALL-E 2
I'm not sure I see the relevance. Could you explain further, please?
emmo··on Justin Kan: Web3 games don’t need to lure players with profit
I think much more likely is the items would be created for each game and you'd just gain access to them.

Otherwise yeah, it'd be an absolute nightmare, like you said.

emmo··on Nobody optimizes happiness
Similarly, elite racing drivers typically start karting around 6-8.
emmo··on As weed gets more potent, teens are getting sick
As a bit of a caution on the book, it's probably worth a look at this article: https://guzey.com/books/why-we-sleep/
emmo··on As weed gets more potent, teens are getting sick
And these independent taco joints would be staffed by...?
emmo··on Orkut
That's the idea though, right? She's the new generation.
emmo··on Visionary French entrepreneur, David Gurle, launches new venture – Hive
It's even more similar to https://www.storj.io/
emmo··on Internet Explorer shutdown to cause Japan headaches 'for months'
If only they'd been given literally years to prepare.

When things are that inefficient, it's hard to have too much sympathy.

emmo··on Kagi search and Orion browser enter public beta
Been in the beta for quite a while now and have been thoroughly impressed. Very, very rarely do I have to fall back to Google search (mostly for image search, which can occasionally be a little lacking in Kagi).

$10 isn't a small hurdle to get people over, but I really hope you can make it work; I'd love for Kagi to succeed.

emmo··on Ask HN: Know some Good C programming communities?
Handmade Network[1] is probably where you want to be. They have a semi-active forum, and a very active Discord.

emmo··on No patches for digital audio releases
I've been uploading a copyrighted show on a small YouTube channel[1] for fun for a long time now. This is exactly what happens[2] and why I've never had a strike or anything.

emmo··on Elden Ring Succeeds by Ignoring 20 Years of Open-World Design
It's just not for you, and that's ok.
emmo··on 3 things should be on resumes: work experience, education, community experience
I generally agree that these things can be a sign of someone I would want to work with, but this only works when it's not something that is outwardly valued by employers; something that people just do because they like doing it.

As soon as it is it becomes essential for people to pretend they give a damn about participating in communities, everything goes to hell.

emmo··on Apple’s “Coda” Wins Historic Oscar for Best Picture at the Academy Awards
That's the 10%
emmo··on Automation Is a Myth
Why does automation have more of an impact on PoC and women?

I would have thought its biggest impact would initially be on the types of jobs typically dominated by male workers.

emmo··on DuckDuckGo “down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation”
Kagi has been a dream. They support bangs as well.

I was only on the wait list for a couple of weeks before getting an invite; worth jumping in.

emmo··on New cars make me want to Saab (2020)
Suzuki are very good at "minimal, but still the few features you want".

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Suzuki sell cars in the US?

emmo··on Ask HN: Alternative to Namecheap?
https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/ are good.
emmo··on Clone culture and its continuous impact on indie developers
I'm sorry but this is just insanity.
emmo··on A Reckless Guide to OpenBSD
The problem is: 1) Knowing that theme selector even exists without their angry little paragraph pointing it out. 2) All of the other themes are equally awful.
emmo··on Show HN: Encycla – like GitHub for knowledge
Like.. a wiki?
emmo··on The window to deploy surveillance-resistant systems is running out
Checks (cheques) don't exist anymore in New Zealand.
emmo··on Why VR Computers are better than PCs and Laptops
I am genuinely happy to hear that. I'm definitely considering jumping on the Kickstarter.
emmo··on Why VR Computers are better than PCs and Laptops
As an avid VR user.. I agree.

I spend several hours at a time wearing a VR headset when sim racing, and am dripping with sweat by the end. They are way too hot and heavy for extended periods. Comfort needs to be solved for there to be any chance of them being used for general use.

emmo··on Toxic culture is driving the great resignation
Pretty much all of those are nicer than any house I have ever lived in, lol.
emmo··on Toxic culture is driving the great resignation
Move to a different neighbourhood.

A quick browse of real estate websites seems to show lots of nice places in SV for well under that amount.
