netrap··on Bybit loses $1.5B in hack
Just crazy. Bank heists fully online...
netrap··on After 18 years, Sony's Blu-ray media production draws to a close
Kind of sad.. not unexpected considering their previous announcement. Ritek and CMC still make BD-R and there are others making pressed BD’s. This is definitely the end for MiniDisc production though!
netrap··on My Struggle with Doom Scrolling
$100 for a clock, lol...
netrap··on A step toward fully 3D-printed active electronics
This image shows logic gates they made:

netrap··on Ask HN: What's the "best" book you've ever read?
I guess Ender's Game since it got me into reading again as an adult. I love all Vernor Vinge as well.
netrap··on Is 7 days a week the new norm (for YC)?
My guess is that start up culture requires some level of sacrifice to make it, right? I think 24/7/365 is a bit much of course, but I would expect a level of extra work compared to some 9-5's...
netrap··on Iron Mountain: It's Time to Talk About Hard Drives
Unfortunately recordable optical is on it's way out. Sony recently slashed the staff at the Japan plant that makes BD-R's (BD-R XL's). Still CMC makes CDR, DVDR, BDR though.
netrap··on Iron Mountain: It's Time to Talk About Hard Drives
Possibly in DVDR.
netrap··on Iron Mountain: It's Time to Talk About Hard Drives
Only Sony or Fuji actually make tapes. The rest are rebranded.
netrap··on Programming a CH32v003 with light
Damn that is cool.
netrap··on I'm forking Ladybird and stepping down as SerenityOS BDFL
It still has one, but the code is forked and he will be working on the fork not the SerenityOS version.
netrap··on VMware Fusion Pro: Now available free for personal use
If you want to pass through USB, SCSI, or something like that then VMWare Workstation is better than Hyper-V for sure.
netrap··on Nukefix: Simulating your nuclear weapons program
The FTP works but it won't allow anonymous logins.
netrap··on Show HN: A free site to explore and discover 6k plants
Many pictures missing. Search is not great, especially for non scientific names of plants. Like "frogfruit" doesn't find anything. Other than that it's great!!
netrap··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
You don't have to solve it, you just have to try...
netrap··on Digitized Continuous Magnetic Recordings for the 1859 Carrington Event
I found the software they used for digitization to be interesting: https://markummitchell.github.io/engauge-digitizer/
netrap··on Old Pictures of Computers
Cool pictures. I noticed that the notebook cover pattern is the same as the modern notebooks but theirs were much thicker!
netrap··on Intel to Receive $8.5B in Grants to Build Chip Plants
I think Intel wants to make chips for others as well...
netrap··on Book Review: Elon Musk
> Musk has a saying: “The most entertaining outcome is the most likely”. The most entertaining outcome here would be for Peter Thiel to take over Twitter and rename it “PayPal”. I can’t wait.

Amazing review. Opened my eyes. I need to read the book now...!

netrap··on Rolls-Royce calls off bets on electric planes, says low-carbon fuel is future
The fuel is too dangerous to store..
netrap··on Google search's death by a thousand cuts
I am starting to wonder more if Google search died or if the web did. You read a lot of comments about how in the past you could find a lot more information, but the reality is that no one is posting that information outside of the walled gardens. It's no wonder Google search sucks, if they don't have direct access to these walled gardens the information is locked behind the door...
netrap··on Men Without Full-Time Jobs Are 33% More Likely to Divorce
The definition of full time is also changing slowly, right?
netrap··on The E-Ink Badge
when you remove power from those, does the display go blank?
netrap··on Ask HN: We found a cracked version of our software on the web, now what?
Completely agree. Great comment. Make it harder to find by simple means by requesting link takedowns, etc. Don't bother trying to make it harder to crack since real crackers will not be deterred.
netrap··on Unix's technical history is mostly old now
Only to be deeply confused when ifconfig is missing...
netrap··on Gaming CS Interviews
I had this same question on my first IT job interview. Stumped me also... I think now I'd probably do some interview prep next time. I didn't get the job. :-)
netrap··on Sudden disturbing moves for IT in large companies, mandated by CEOs
Yes, and there are comments about Broadcom's history of price gouging after acquisitions.
netrap··on Carbon offsetting is just another form of greenwashing
I'm just thinking that for the high energy density would a Hydrogen (fuel cell?) pressure washer work?
netrap··on Why are young people having so little sex? (2018)
I don't know if it causes people to have less sex. However, I do agree it could be a slippery slope to addiction. I stopped watching a week or two ago and I have urges daily. Can't say for sure this is real addiction but it definitely could lead there for many.
netrap··on Ask HN: Who doesn’t want to go back to the office?
I'm interested in an adjusted schedule. Like all Fridays WFH or something. I imagine my work will eventually bring us back to the office but I'm definitely interested in working from home in some capacity.
