Don't pigeonhole users to a specific theme based on age. Sure, use age to set an intelligent default theme, and provide a way for individual users to overide that and choose the theme they want.

Did you mean NAGMA, as in they won't stop nagging you?
James Burke's "Connections" series also has books by the same name. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connections_(British_documen... Noteworthy in that they show discovery and invention happen in context.

Perhaps Mozilla could partner with DuckDuckGo and PureOS Librem and make a privacy-centric mobile smart phone with: - PureFireDuck OS - PureFireDuck search - PureFireDuck voice & text - PureFireDuck email - PureFireDuck maps - PureFireDuck app store (an app store unfriendly to spyware apps)?
Re:Ask HN: How do you deal with getting old and feeling lost? on Sunday February 06, 2022 @10:51AM (#30233583)
Yes. Get whatever bike fits you. And I love my Tern [1] foldable bicycle. It folds into a bag which I can take anywhere in my car or on the bus or train and bike when I get there.

Re:Why does my diet soda taste off? Aspartame hydrolysis on Tuesday February 01, 2022 @09:03AM (#30162496)
Try https://sodastream.com . The soda can be sweetened with syrups they sell, or sweeten with anything you like, like Mangrove Honey which is salty and rich in itself. Add Scotch for a new drink called a "Southern Bee Sting". Squirt of lemon optional.

Re:ISO C became unusable for operating systems development on Friday January 21, 2022 @10:01AM (#30024377)
Can you still compile gcc code with -O0 (gcc option to turn optimization off) to get completely defined behavior? When doing so does it actually still turn off all optimizations? Also does -Os (optimization for size) still produce defined behavior?

What are Pine Phone plans about the swtich from 3G to 5G?
My 3G phone will soon be obsolete as 3G is being phased out in the U.S. in favor if 5G. What non-apple non-google 5G options exist?
Does it support 5G?

Pirates actually helped in the Revolutionary War: https://www.historynet.com/pirates-of-the-revolution.htm . Many pirates considered themselves free and held that legitimate comity between 2 people can exist without 3rd party control such as the Crown.
Any idea when that may be heard by the Supreme Court?
"All: please don't take HN threads into tedious flamewar on eternal flamewar topics. "Vax versus antivax" is one of the most tedious of them all. If you're tempted to post angrily about how wrong and bad the other side is, please inhibit that impulse. If your comment was going to repeat something we've all heard many times before, please don't post it.

Obviously the vax theme is topical in this case—that makes this a good chance to apply discernment and distinguish between thoughtful, substantive comments and shallow, dismissive ones. As that is what we all should be doing on HN anyway, practice is good."

https://www.tvbgone.com meant as a prank. And I love using it almost anywhere.
Woot! Super cool. Thank you. That like also refers to https://github.com/iorate/uBlacklist. Will check them out.
Yes. It would be pretty cool if we could include a blocked-site list saying "please exclude these sites from my search results."
