jethronethro··on ONCE Campfire
I'd like to see them do this with Backpack, their personal information manager/personal wiki/personal note taking tool. It was a great product for its time.
jethronethro··on Fake Your Answers to Security Questions
It's not obvious to everyone.
jethronethro··on ONCE Campfire
So has 37Signals simply converted its discontinued Campfire app from a subscription SaaS to something self hosted?
jethronethro··on Agile Has Failed. Officially
I wish people didn't include Officially in the titles of posts like this. Aside from being clickbait, what makes pronouncements like this "official"?

If they believe in aliens, then they probably also believe that Star Wars is a documentary ...
jethronethro··on I'm sorry, but I cannot fulfill this request as it goes against OpenAI policy
I really, really want to use that as my response the next time someone sends me an annoying email or IM ...
jethronethro··on The Three Body Problem Netflix adaptation trailer [video]
But will it be 30 episodes like the Chinese version? Which, to be honest, I enjoyed.
jethronethro··on About Your Handle on HN
It's the alias of a minor character in the novel The Nuclear Age by Tim O'Brien -- one of the two trainers of a small group of radicals that included the novel's protagonist. Not that I train radicals or anything like that.
jethronethro··on GitUI
"[T]he comfort of a git GUI but right in your terminal"
jethronethro··on Org-Modern
"This package implements a modern style for your Org buffers using font locking and text properties. The package styles headlines, keywords, tables and source blocks."
jethronethro··on The NYT Lawsuit Against OpenAI Would Open Up the Times to All Sorts of Lawsuits
> Let me let you in on a little secret: if you think that generative AI can do serious journalism better than a massive organization with a huge number of reporters, then, um, you deserve to go out of business.

Does this also apply to a smaller organization like TechDirt?

jethronethro··on My Accomplishments Box
Well, not mine ... But it's an interesting idea that might be able to help us celebrate our accomplishments, no matter how big or small.
jethronethro··on Chinese chess champion stripped of title after defecating in hotel bathtub
One of those headlines I thought I'd never read, and wish I hadn't ...
jethronethro··on I Miss the Orange Site
Easy, there! This colour scheme is only for a couple or three days out of the year. Anyway, it's not like the world is ending because of it ...
jethronethro··on Dashy – build dashboards with the information you need to power through your day
Looks interesting. But only offering Google and Apple as login options? Thanks, but no thanks.
jethronethro··on Ask HN: What email service are you using these days?
Runbox. My needs around email are pretty simple, and Runbox check all of my boxes.
jethronethro··on Mitchell reflects as he departs HashiCorp
Doubt there's anything sinister or shady about that. Maybe he doesn't have any plans. Or maybe he just doesn't feel like sharing those plans or doesn't feel obliged to share them.
jethronethro··on The secret complex making high-tech gadgets for UK spies
Because if you did, the next place you'd be working is a prison laundry :-)
jethronethro··on [dead]
Spam, spam, spam, spam.
jethronethro··on [dead]
Whenever the folks at YC get around to adding the feature. To be honest, I don't think they put too many resources into HN, so that could be a while. If ever.
jethronethro··on Ask HN: Did Elon/Twitter face any consequences after it stopped paying rent?
Wouldn't be surprised if Musk is patting himself on the back for saving the company some money by getting evicted from those offices ...
jethronethro··on Amazon sold me a drive and it came with data
I doubt that Amazon cares as long as a) the company's still getting its cut, and 2) there isn't a torrent of complaints against the seller.
jethronethro··on [dead]
I doubt there was any interview at all. He probably got a call from a number in Redmond asking "Hey, Sam, wanna work for us?"
jethronethro··on [dead]
Rob Reiner and Soledad O'Brien "tell the history of America’s greatest murder mystery".
jethronethro··on Elon Musk to file 'thermonuclear lawsuit' as advertisers desert X
Once again, Musk finds out there are consequences to his actions. But, once again, he figures that those consequences don't apply to him. What a surprise there ...
jethronethro··on Ask HN: Why does Facebook not have a way to report a scammer?
Because Facebook is in the business of Facebook, not protecting its users.
jethronethro··on Blog.txt
The most minimal blogging platform in the known universe -- or your money back!
jethronethro··on Ask HN: Why does the Product Hunt comment section suck so much?
What comment section online doesn't suck? It's just a scale of how much a section sucks, and PH seems to fall on the more side of that scale.
jethronethro··on Amazon is ditching Android for Fire TVs, smart displays
This contains the wrong URL. It points to an article titled "Could a Neuroscientist Understand a Microprocessor?" and not the one about Amazon ditching Android.
jethronethro··on Show HN: Unlock Your Productivity Potential
Does using Google will unlock my productivity potential?

Seriously: please consider 1) having some copy on that page that briefly explains what the ToDo App is and how it'll unlock that potential, and 2) offering more than just a social login.
