Patrick Stewart or the show writers? I'm not a fan of equating TV character personalities to actors.

> Facebook can shut down tomorrow. Twitter can rebrand itself into oblivion. But email? Email is forever.
Yet author is using Gmail, curious. Even if Google doesn't shut down, there have been many cases of unexplained account terminations.
I also wonder if author ever heard of identity management and SSO.

This could be genuinely useful for web design because it's easy to setup layout reflow using all the sliders. I hope you'll open source it.

This website likely uses a semantic vector space like CLIP or BERT space. Which is based on co-occurrence of words, it doesn't have a harder logic behind it. Soviets probably had cylinders in some machinery which is why it pulled.

Re:Making Chicken Transparent Using Dorito Dust

Some exotic fish and frog species are completely transparent. So one might wonder what makes meat opaque. Then wonder how to get the opaque out of other meat. I don't know where doritos comes in.

Re:Show HN: Google Maps Scraper MCP
on Friday October 02, 2026 @11:20PM (#49941123)
Being able to scrape google maps must mean that OpenStreetMaps are just as good, since someone can just pull new changes periodically
In fact, OpenStreetMaps often have better data than google maps. So one should just use that in call cases.
This website is ugly slop by the way.

It's the same emotion as if you're enjoying ska music subculture, but can't dress in its style of clothes, because people will think you're a skinhead.
You'll be judged for riding in your old Tesla car, because people may think you're a fan of modern Elon.
It may sound like a stretch, but I feel it's virtually the same thing — style.

> I take out em dashes and replace them with commas or full stops
Yeah that's your problem. I like my em dashes. You don't need to be ashamed of your style just because it got mainstream. Doesn't matter whether it's AI or a fashion fad. It's like liking a music band before it gets popular on tiktok.

Re:Ask HN: What self-hosted apps do you use daily?
on Thursday September 17, 2026 @05:30PM (#49746829)
I self-host RSS-Bridge and an RSS reader.
RSS can replace checking all your subscriptions (youtube, subreddits, etc.) to just one place. I tried a lot of RSS readers but it turns out you'll only like the one you make for yourself, that's why there are so many.
Sorting feeds into categories (I have channels for photography, sports, memes etc.) feels like bliss and is otherwise impossible to do.
You can also quickly vibe code RSS feeds for websites that don't have them.
Show HN: HSL-Noise – A noise generator mapped to the HSL color space
I felt that the classical "colors of noise" (Pink, Brownian, White...) were very limiting when describing a very specific noise profile. I decided to map all colors to noise distributions, from Red to Blue. I like having green noise in the background when working.
