The numbers of films produced per year has dropped significantly over time.

neetrain··on Increasing evidence that bears are not carnivores
I would see a modern version of this, but there will be too many ethical issues in the way.
neetrain··on Reddit announces revamped blocking experience
As long as someone whom I block can't interect with me, I don't care that much.

Block on twitter works about the same way.

All those cat facts are interesting by the way.
neetrain··on LG’s 16:18 ultra-tall monitor means less scrolling
I love watching old films and playing old games, which are all 4:3 aspect ratio.

Is this going to be a desirable option?

neetrain··on Ligatures in programming fonts: hell no (2019)
I personally love ligatures, but

  if you’re preparing your code for others to read—whether on screen or on paper—skip the ligatures.
I can agree with this.
neetrain··on Internet Movie Firearms Database
I hope there was an Internet Movie Video Games Database.
neetrain··on An extinct millipede the length of a car once roamed northern England

Human will find a way to migrate to another universe in next few billion years.
neetrain··on Humans Are Doomed to Go Extinct
Cockroaches' prosperity relies on human's.
neetrain··on Ask HN: Why drive users away from the login button?
GitHub even completely omitted the login button on their top page (I think it has one now).

I used to google "github", hit the first link, only to find out there was no way I can login, google again with "github login".

This was one of the worst UX I have ever had on the web.

neetrain··on A beginner’s guide to game hacking techniques [pdf]
I guess it is like driving a car?

Everybody knows cars are bad for society and the environment, but you have to drive anyway to go to office.

It sounds so archaic.

Same. I bought iPad Pro 2018 for the same reason.
neetrain··on 'Super Mario 64 Plus' Is an Unofficial PC Port with 60FPS and a Permadeath Mode
Encore Mode is my favorite feature.

It mirrors all the stage geometry and alters the color palettes. This simple tweak effectively messes up your 25-year-old muscle memory.

neetrain··on The Grand Unified Theory of Documentation
I don't know whether it is only in my country, but teachers in school teach students otherwise. Not repeating the same word for the same things is alright for elegant literature, but problematic in the digital era.
neetrain··on The Edges of Our Universe
It's only my perceptions.

Yes, several hundreds of people had already been in space. Space travel could be the norm in the next few decades. Man could terraform Mars in the next millennium, or conquer the milky way galaxy five million years later.

However, I still feel like "we're stuck forever".

neetrain··on The Edges of Our Universe
We're forever stuck inside a thin layer of the Earth surface. It makes me kind of claustrophobic.

He must be joking. It's inappropriate for this site anyway though.
neetrain··on Ask HN: What Lived Up to the Hype?
I do remember the "name your price" thing, but it seems I've completely forgotten it was unannounced release!

Therefore, there was virtually no hype...

neetrain··on Ask HN: What Lived Up to the Hype?
How about Radiohead's 2007 album In Rainbows?

Maybe OK Computer too, but I don't know how much hype there were because I was too young then...
