Totally agree, it's mostly gatekeeping at this point.

Are you aware that kitchen sinks are typically subject to frequent and prolonged encounters with water and other substances?
monkey_monkey··on Putting the pieces together: Meet Justin Yu ’25, Tetris world champion
The 2025 refers to the year he'll graduate - it's fairly common for US college students to classify themselves this way - and this is a college publication he's being profiled on.
monkey_monkey··on Show HN: Alzheimer's Buddy: Use Flashing Light and Sound at 40Hz
Yup, I turned it off, disconnected it from my Mac and left it for a minute, then rebooted. All seems fine now.
monkey_monkey··on Show HN: Alzheimer's Buddy: Use Flashing Light and Sound at 40Hz
Yes! It's an LG Ultra HD running at 2560x1440 @ 60Hz
monkey_monkey··on Show HN: Alzheimer's Buddy: Use Flashing Light and Sound at 40Hz
Just a warning - running this for a few seconds has left my secondary display with an ongoing flicker which seems to be improving after 10 minutes and a reboot.

[edit to add] 10 minutes later - the flicker has gone (or I can't perceive it)

monkey_monkey··on E-Crime Rapper 'Punchmade Dev' Debuts Card Shop
I don't get it - isn't this just really stupid? Like putting a big target on his chest and saying to everyone (criminals as well as law enforcement) "Come and get me"?
monkey_monkey··on IAC sold 17 apps to Bending Spoons. $100M deal, all 330 employees fired
> eah, they did that. The app is not going "downhill" yet,

Isn't that because there's not much further the Evernote app can fall?

monkey_monkey··on JAL A359 at Tokyo collided with Coast Guard DH8C on runway and burst into flames
The Guardian is reporting that 5 people who were on the coastguard plane have died.
monkey_monkey··on Elizabeth line testing ways of banishing its "ghosts in the walls"
No surprise you're taking the least charitable view possible.

Perhaps what they're doing is cleaning and then looking for a way to mitigate the need for intensive future cleaning. Seems sensible.

monkey_monkey··on Foundations (1997-2000)
I think the novel you're referring to is 'Timescape', and it was written by Gregory Benford. From what I remember (and it's been 20 years at least since I read it), it's quite a bleak story.
monkey_monkey··on Show HN: Heynote – A dedicated scratchpad for developers
cmd + (or whatever the equivalent is for your platform) seems to permanently increase the font size.
monkey_monkey··on Figma and Adobe abandon proposed merger
Tech acquisitions haven't been outlawed. And this particular situation is applicable to perhaps 2 or 3 a year (all of which are multi-billion dollar values).

I doubt very much if this will stop funding of new companies except perhaps at the level of Uber/WeWork.

monkey_monkey··on Threads has "just under" 100M monthly active users
I deeply appreciate these hot takes based on nothing but ego. It saves me from having to go to Reddit.
monkey_monkey··on Why NASA Chose WordPress for Revamping Its Flagship Website
WordPress updates breaking existing sites was your original complaint. Now it's "but there are lots of plugins with security exploits".

The no-cost Saas version is limited. The self-hosted version is not.
monkey_monkey··on Why NASA Chose WordPress for Revamping Its Flagship Website
No they're not. But if you're ok with parotting no-thought tropes, go for it.
monkey_monkey··on An Internet of PHP
If you need it, Swoole and Roadrunner exist
monkey_monkey··on London Street Trees
> I bet this this website cost London £100k or more.

Perhaps spend less time worrying about a made up estimate of tax money spent and more time lobbying internally for Google to pay their fair share of tax?

monkey_monkey··on X has started reversing the throttling on some of the sites, including NYTimes'
This kind of 101-level advice is fine for dealing with random edgelord trolls with 10 followers. However, it's nigh-on impossible to simply ignore the likes of Musk and Trump when newspaper columns are full of their activity and they have such a fucking large impact on us.
monkey_monkey··on Musk's X seizes Music handle. Owner is understandably pissed
The solution is to not click on the stories. It's weird that this is such a draining thing for you.

Cloudflare (although they don't cover all the TLDs)
monkey_monkey··on Show HN: JuxtaCode – native Git diff tool for macOS
What's the post-beta pricing going to be?
monkey_monkey··on Show HN: I made CSS Pro, a re-imagined Devtools for web design
Or perhaps I don't want to get fleeced and/or locked in to a model where if I stop paying, I lose access to an offline program that costs the app developer NOTHING extra for my use
monkey_monkey··on Show HN: I made CSS Pro, a re-imagined Devtools for web design
Does this stop working if you stop subscribing, or do you just lose access to updates? This needs to be made very clear.
monkey_monkey··on Mimestream, a native Gmail app for macOS
Stop paying and the app stops working, so it's not just a case of no more updates.

Zero chance of paying for this. Back to Mailplane, which is still working (for now anyway).

What's an autistic bro scientist and why is that relevant?
