I currently do this with Termius and ssh into the box I’m working on the launching Claude Code. Only issue I have is the occasional network issue causing the session to drop.

Yes, though I’d add that a house is generally viewed as an investment, unlike something like a car, which typically depreciates in value.

From time to time I’ll read a title that’s not dystopian and usually walk away feeling disappointed. There’s usually a utopian bend to it that comes across as naive and disingenuous. Maybe that’s just a me problem though.

Thank you for actually spelling porn. This whole thing around altering spelling to avoid blocking which I presume comes out of other apps has gotten to be quite annoying.

I have heard some people having luck by switching to a ketogenic diet. Here’s a paper I could find on PubMed about this. Sorry to hear about your friend.

Coming back here to really thank you for this. I converted my resume into LaTex today then to pdf. Began uploading it to a few listings and where I would previously have to go back in and correct things this is no longer happening. Much thanks.

Yea, I find myself growing increasingly sensitive. I spent several years in Afghanistan and now the most mildest of violence even in media bothers me. I couldn’t imagine either of my sons having to go through that or anyone else’s children. Life is so incredibly precious and until proven otherwise rare.

Yea, I’ve become more aware of this since yesterday. I also think I should have provided way more context to what I was saying. I believe I came off as being against moderation but I’m not, I do think there is something unique about the user base just from the quality of content I see compared to other spaces, but I digress. I appreciate your thoughts and it gave me something to think about.
Re:More Speech and Fewer Mistakes

I do now. Good point. I haven’t been on here very long and should have been more aware before saying something thats incorrect.

Thanks @dang. Turned on showdead. I will say that I was completely unaware of the moderation efforts here and appreciate having this pointed out to me. I like this option too. As far as transparency goes I don’t think it gets much better than this.
Re:More Speech and Fewer Mistakes
on Wednesday January 08, 2025 @06:48AM (#42633228)
That is correct. Possibly would change my perspective. Honestly a lot of these comments have and I do appreciate the input.

That’s a rather reductionist and slightly disparaging point of view. Moderation has its place I never said it didn’t, but do you really think that moderation is the only thing keeping this place from being 4chan? I think you have one deeply entrenched opinion and are ignoring that these are very different platforms.

I agree with what you're saying about SV, especially the military-industrial types. I'm not entirely sure what the makeup of HN demographics is, and would like to know. I have a suspicion that it's not just folks in SV. I also should have clarified more. In my opinion, the discourse here is more civil than on other platforms. I would suggest that has something to do with a combination of education and niche interests that attract a different user base. So maybe not in terms of factual correctness, but certainly in terms of the ability to have a civil conversation.

I see what you’re saying, but I also think the user demographics of Hacker News reduce the likelihood of moderation to begin with.

You could say that. I have found that a lot of guides produced by folks on Hacker News to be generally interesting. Probably too much free time? Either way a guide of guides does seem like a good use of that free time.
