News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Except they increase the charges of the food also, so you are getting taken advantage of there as well.

Thanks for the insights. Nice to hear the facts of a situation in addition to all the guesses and assumptions (which can be interesting too of course)

If you are wondering, it’s not the Doc guy with a similar name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doc_Searls (But he was a PhD)
Site isn’t loading. Hug of death?

100% this. Do it every time.
Re:Building the mouse Logitech won't make on Monday August 25, 2025 @03:27PM (#45017893)
>>After first publishing this article a helpful commenter let me know Logitech released the MX Ergo S in late 2024, with quieter switches, USB-C, and a $20 price increase.

Been there before. 2 min of research could have saved hours (obviously fun project regardless). The thing is to do the research at the initial idea and then AGAIN before starting the project.

Re:Google is killing the open web on Tuesday August 19, 2025 @07:26AM (#44950381)
Site not loading? Maybe the open web isn’t all it’s cracked up to be? /s
Except paying the vpn requires a credit card that does the same verification check so it’s not thwarting the rule at all.
Re:Memento Project Is Down on Wednesday July 09, 2025 @09:39AM (#44509924)
What is this?

Memento is a United States National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP)–funded project aimed at making Web-archived content more readily discoverable and accessible to the public.

Re:Lightfastness Testing of Colored Pencils on Monday July 07, 2025 @11:10AM (#44491193)
Very spammy images. Is this a legit resource? The test is interesting though 6 hrs/day in sunlight is very extreme for artwork.

Also I’m wondering is a fixer would help or hurt the testing. This is common with some art, like pastels.

Model name is “The Veblen”

This is truly dystopian.

Also this sad excuse for an FAQ:

Q: Is payment required to receive Scenic Mode? A: No. Scenic Mode does not require payment and is part of VIZIO’s mission to continually make your Smart TV better than when you bought it.

Smart TVs are really and truly awful.

Can you share the name of this excellent new paper that you are using for your letters? Thanks!
Oh yes, I've played that actually. The mechanics weren't my jam, but the art and level of polish are great.

Re:Show HN: Breakout with a roguelite/vampire survivor twist on Wednesday February 26, 2025 @04:20PM (#43188363)
Any more details on how you made it, tools, etc? It's a lot of fun and I appreciate the gitlab link, just curious about the tooling and process that got you to such a great point.
Re:Obscure Islands I Find Interesting on Saturday February 08, 2025 @08:08PM (#42987601)
Thank you for this. I too am a lover of islands. It seems like a strange thing to be fascinated with, but glad to see there there are others out there!

Fun read if you have a chance: Atlas of Remote Islands https://www.amazon.com/Atlas-Remote-Islands-Fifty-Never/dp/0...

Very much like Desktop Dungeons, which is high praise in my mind.

Excellent work! I think a lot of the feedback here is well intentioned but not from people as used to the turn-based space.

Really enjoying this. Thanks

Re:How to know when it's time to go on Wednesday January 22, 2025 @07:21AM (#42791976)
That’s all well and good, but the complexity comes with navigating life obligations (rent, school loans, etc.) and long-term compensation (equity). Just waking away because of the talent shifting or similar is a nice concept but impractical. This advice read more like a guide to working in your 20s.
