peanut_worm··on Australian drug tests show 40% of 'official cocaine' had no cocaine
Probably research chemicals or amphetamine
peanut_worm··on Deno 1.25
Really happy to see. I have been using Deno for a project and I have really enjoyed it. It solves all of the annoyances of Node for me.
peanut_worm··on Deno 1.25
Yeah but Deno doesn’t require package.json or anything like that. Seems sort of redundant.
peanut_worm··on Assemblyscript Removes WASI Support
Why?
peanut_worm··on .gov/anime
what are the odds that the owners of parkerhiggins.com and parkerhiggins.net would both be on the same website at the same time
peanut_worm··on Hyperparasite
Parasitoid Wasps are an interesting animal. My favorite are Tarantula Hawks. We have a species in Florida despite not having Tarantulas.
peanut_worm··on Diablo 1 for Web Browsers
Controls surprisingly well on a phone
peanut_worm··on Kilimanjaro gets high-speed internet so climbers can tweet or Instagram ascent
I have heard from multiple people that apparently Kilimanjaro is surprisingly easy to climb

I think it is running a very old proprietary interpreter based on some old engine called ScriptEase.
peanut_worm··on I spent a year designing a low profile, minimal mechanical keyboard
Looks really cool, I will probably buy one when they're available.
peanut_worm··on Apple tells employees to work at the office three times per week starting Sept
Commuting is two hours of my day wasted every day. Thats pretty significant.
peanut_worm··on The impact of removing jQuery on our web performance
Wow that might be the fastest website ive seen
peanut_worm··on Will Bun JavaScript Take Node's Crown
If Bun gets more popular, which it seems to be, it will probably draw away a lot of people who are currently using Deno.
peanut_worm··on Will Bun JavaScript Take Node's Crown
Of course, but as far as general purpose runtimes go your options currently are pretty much Node, Deno, and QuickJs. Most of the other ones are for niche things like IoT or embedded systems.
peanut_worm··on Will Bun JavaScript Take Node's Crown
Well I guess Deno is dead in the water then. I have a feeling we are going to have like 10 competing JS runtimes by the end of the year.
peanut_worm··on Uber Rewards is ending on November 1, 2022
The thresholds for the rewards were insane anyways youd have to make like 15 orders to get anything
peanut_worm··on It’s raining PFAS: rainwater is unsafe to drink even in Antarctica and Tibet
Or the sky has already fell and no one has noticed yet because our sky-watchers told us it was fine
peanut_worm··on Study finds link between 'forever chemicals' in cookware and liver cancer
I have a bad feeling millennials and gen z people are going to have a dramatically lower life expectancy than the previous few generations from how many chemicals they are in contact with
peanut_worm··on A meteor or alien tech: Harvard professor plans UFO expedition
How on earth do they think they are going to find it

I am going to assume everything in the article is false until its actually found
peanut_worm··on Heat pumps: what they do and why they’re hot now
I am confused, I live in Florida and I have a big central AC system but it is also capable of heating. Is this not the same thing as a heat pump?
peanut_worm··on Gmail Dynamic Email (a.k.a. AMP for Email)
No one wants this.
peanut_worm··on Earbirding – How to Visualize Sounds
there are quite a few bird species that are so similar that the only reliable way to tell them apart is their vocalizations. a good example is red eyed vireos and black whiskered vireos.

I am terrible with calls, this article will be very helpful for the fall migration, thanks OP.

peanut_worm··on Electronics are built with death dates. Let’s not keep them a secret
I am probably in the minority but I usually run my electronics into the ground and I have never had a battery fail or die permanently. I have always thought that the argument about planned obsolescence as it pertains to hardware was a bit blown out of proportion.
peanut_worm··on A Phoenix record store owner set the audiophile world on fire
Audiophiles are funny. I remember seeing some guy on the internet was selling expensive “sound crystals” that you would put near your stereo that would make the sound “warmer” or “clearer”.
peanut_worm··on My favorite iPhone feature was removed, long live its subpar replacement
I have an extremely outdated version of iOS and I still have this feature lol
peanut_worm··on Apple is building a demand-side platform
Unrelated but this site says they charge 160 dollars for a 3 month subscription that seems insane for a newspaper
peanut_worm··on A group of activists got leaf blowers banned in the nation’s capital (2019)
outlawing them would be silly but HOAs and city ordinances should not be allowed to force you to have a lawn
peanut_worm··on Ask HN: What's up with these DoorDash dark patterns?
The ghost kitchen thing seems like it should be illegal. It is a huge problem on Uber Eats as well.
peanut_worm··on Ask HN: Do you ever use GPT-3 in anger?
“On purpose” probably wasn’t the right wording. What I mean is that sometimes it will give an answer that is obviously wrong, like 2+2=5. Seems like that would be hard to catch if you’re doing something complicated.
