Re:Ask HN: What book are you currently reading? on Tuesday December 30, 2025 @08:26AM (#46433124)
Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells, and I’m listening to the audio book The Demon of Unrest by Erik Larson.

Thank you for this, works well! Now to adapt a version for https://hckrnews.com/.
Looking forward to the John Michael Godier video that he'll inevitably put out about this.
Looks like a fun game, I love the art style and that it’s Verified on Steam Deck. Just bought a copy to try it out!
Big Scissor wants to keep us in the dark.

Not a bad guess! This was fun, I enjoyed reading my profile it produced. Thanks for sharing!

You mean his Nazi salute?

Is it really? Still waiting for it to be available everywhere in Nashville after they started here nearly a decade ago.
Re:TikTok goes dark in the US on Sunday January 19, 2025 @09:38AM (#42757384)
I’m sad to lose the cross stitching videos, the travel log clips, the live streams of people playing instruments, and the tons of animal videos. Trying Instagram Reels, everything feels performative, which is annoying.
Re:Can we communally deprecate git checkout? on Thursday January 09, 2025 @06:22PM (#42650870)
Huh. I use checkout multiple times a day every day. It's how I switch branches, including creating new branches. I guess I could use other commands, but why change what's working fine?
Re:Ask HN: Best non-fiction book you read in 2024? on Saturday November 23, 2024 @09:46PM (#42225573)
I'm reading Endurance now after just having finished Into Thin Air. Good stuff.
Re:Ask HN: Best non-fiction book you read in 2024? on Saturday November 23, 2024 @09:45PM (#42225569)
I read The Hot Zone by Richard Preston and Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. Enjoyed both. Think I preferred Into Thin Air.
That's why the only gyms I've signed up for have been YMCAs, because I know I can cancel my membership there without hassle.
Re:Verizon experiencing widespread outage across the US on Monday September 30, 2024 @12:26PM (#41698999)
I'm in SOS mode in Tennessee.
I modified my touch bar to no longer show the play/pause button because every time I forgot and hit it, I got punished by Apple Music opening and getting stuck in a loop of me force-quitting it and it restarting.
Re:New iPad Pro with M4 chip and Apple Pencil Pro on Tuesday May 07, 2024 @01:37PM (#40288938)
I was wanting a Mini update, too.
Re:Redesigned 11-inch and new 13-inch iPad Air on Tuesday May 07, 2024 @01:33PM (#40288869)
No new iPad Mini? :(
1899 was my cutoff, too. They had the nerve to recommend the show to me after it had been canceled, which I didn't know at the time. Got invested and looked for a season two release date, which is how I learned it was canceled. No longer a subscriber now.
I use Codespaces daily at work. Full disclosure, I work for GitHub. I like them pretty well.

Thank you for this! I’m enjoying the Chinese so far.

I’m unable to sign up, though. On mobile, I’m trying to hit the sign up button after filling out the form, but it’s not doing anything or giving me an error.

I love the Fall of Civilizations podcast. Here's their episode on the Mayans: https://youtu.be/SnFaRXeep5Y
Re:Apollo is dead. Long live Apollo on Saturday July 01, 2023 @09:52AM (#36550113)
Interesting, when I go to my purchases in the app store, I see Alien Blue, but consistently when I tap it to try and re-download it, I get a "failed to connect to App Store" error.
Re:Apollo is dead. Long live Apollo on Saturday July 01, 2023 @12:15AM (#36546522)
I'm enjoying Octal on iOS.
I've been looking for an alternative to Divvy because I've wanted more features, I'll give this a shot. Thanks!
That old movie you're talking about... Is that The Gods Must Be Crazy?
What I don’t get is they acquired Alien Blue, which was an amazing app, yet the official Reddit app is nowhere near the quality that AB had years ago.
Re:OpenAI Brings ChatGPT to iOS on Thursday May 18, 2023 @01:19PM (#35991190)
I wonder if they’ll release an iPad app too, I’d appreciate that.
