clickbait title

I stopped using HDDs all together like 8 years ago and I haven’t had any issues at all

The improved ones still seem really vague to me
peanut_worm··on Shepard Tone
this sound gives me a feeling of anxiety for some reason
peanut_worm··on Tell HN: Banned from LinkedIn for Reporting Wickr Drug Spam
Why would they choose Linkedin of all places...
peanut_worm··on HN's Most Popular “Topcolor”
I use 5555ff because it hurts my eyes
peanut_worm··on Tobacco companies forced to reduce nicotine in cigarettes until non-addictive
Wouldn’t that just generate more sales for tobacco companies and make current smokers smoke more cigarettes
peanut_worm··on Car companies haven’t figured out if they’ll let Apple CarPlay take over
At least in my car, CarPlay is much, much better than the default infotainment interface. I don’t even have access to maps without carplay.
peanut_worm··on Swatch Internet Time
>PHP's date() function has a format specifier 'B' which returns the Swatch Internet Time notation for a given time stamp

That is pretty funny

peanut_worm··on It costs $110k to fully gear up in Diablo Immortal
Elden Ring was exactly "make good game, sell it" and it sold very well.
peanut_worm··on Ford CEO says EVs will be sold 100% online with nonnegotiable price
Car dealerships are an unapologetic scam so I welcome this with open arms.
peanut_worm··on Ask HN: How do you stay focused at work?
sometimes when I get like 3 hours of nonstop productivity in, I realize its because I left my phone in the other room
peanut_worm··on In a small Virginia town, citizens review police like Uber drivers
I can think of so many issues with this it could fill a book. How about just holding police accountable if they commit a crime?
peanut_worm··on No, DALL-E doesn’t have a secret language
I think this guy is being a bit pedantic. It is returning semi-consistent results for gibberish, which is interesting. Thats all the original poster meant.
peanut_worm··on Java Has a New Website
The website is almost empty on mobile but still takes 3 seconds to load and I get a white screen while its loading. How did everyone get so bad at web development?
peanut_worm··on Apple’s hidden flight tracker app
I feel like Apple has a hard time making all of the features of their products easily discoverable.
peanut_worm··on The age of Scrum is over
Scrum and Agile are like Monads, no one really knows what they are.
peanut_worm··on S.F. population fell 6.3%, most in nation, to lowest level since 2010
San Francisco is the dirtiest city I have ever seen. It doesn’t seem like a great place to spend 1 million dollars on a house unless you work there.
peanut_worm··on Show HN: A Reddit style site to discuss podcast episodes
Very cool idea but the website seems awfully slow with all the animations and loading screens, and the audio player seems to keep resizing and lagging.
peanut_worm··on Ray Liotta, ‘Goodfellas’ and ‘Field of Dreams’ Star, Dies at 67
I feel like thats the case with most “Gangster” actors. I agree about De Niro.
peanut_worm··on Behind the Pretty Frames: Elden Ring
The style of gameplay just works much better with a controller. I would say the same thing about most melee oriented action games. Devil May Cry with a keyboard is horrible.
peanut_worm··on Behind the Pretty Frames: Elden Ring
with a 12gb amd card and a 4ghz processor I can run the game at a pretty stable 2k/60fps with occasional dips to 50. It is a lot better than how it was at release.

It is probably worth it just to play it now, I think its the best game I have ever played.

peanut_worm··on Morrowind 20-year anniversary book
Elder Scrolls has spawned what is probably the best community wiki that I have ever seen: https://en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Morrowind
peanut_worm··on Morrowind 20-year anniversary book
The concept behind Arena and Daggerfall are cool but the actual gameplay is pretty horrendous. I guess people today say the same thing about Morrowind though.
peanut_worm··on Netflix to Employees: If you don't like our content, you can quit
Netflix feels like the discount dvd bin at walmart now. Hulu seems like a much better option these days.
peanut_worm··on I fell in love with low-JS
I never really thought the benefits of SPA apps were worth the trouble they cause. Hypothetically, you can account for all the inherent issues of a SPA app but you have to pretty much reinvent the wheel to achieve it.

Modern HTML and vanilla JavaScript are pretty good. I really think the optimal website is plain HTML and bits of JS sprinkled in as modules to add interactivity where needed.

I think that the front end web dev community needs to just agree on a good pattern to use that doesn't involve a convoluted library or framework.

What would be the effects of a blanket ban on single-use plastic food packaging
peanut_worm··on 3,200-year-old Egyptian tablet records excuses for why people missed work
Khonsu must be an important guy
peanut_worm··on Musk announces funding secured for Twitter buy
Seems like such a big gamble for what basically amounts to a logo. He could very well just make his own website.
peanut_worm··on Web color is still broken
I doubt its ever going to change for compatibility reasons
