>Linear's MCP is also very clean and well designed, probably one of their core advantages over, say, Jira.

I was under the impression that Linear's MCP server code isn't public. How do you know that it's well-designed beyond following spec[1][2]?

The least they could do, after ruthlessly bombarding my employer's servers with requests, ignoring the robots.txt, scraping everything, and incurring significant Google Maps costs for us in the process.

I have heard that this is called the Benjamin Franklin effect, and it appears to be an inversion of the principle of reciprocity coined by Robert Cialdini.

Reading this thread makes me wonder if I'm the only one who really tried to learn to juggle, only to fail even after a whole month of brute-forcing it, while my partner at the time, who started at my suggestion, managed it after 30 minutes! That was 15 years ago...

Are you aware of the concept of "boiling the frog"?

2027: "It's just calling up the draft. It doesn't mean they are going to be sent to the frontline."

I was always curious about how Tay worked technically, since it was build before the Transformers era.

Was it based on a specific scientific paper or research?

The controversy surrounding it seemed to have polluted any search for a technical breakdown or a discussion, or the insights gained from it.

Could you perhaps link a picture of that vehicle?

As searching for "luny cycle" doesn't bring up anything relevant.

However, there this, which looks like an interesting take on the unicycle concept:

Paywalled article. Seeing that OP almost exclusively submits links to their own paywalled blog, I'm not sure if this doesn't fall under HN's "blogspam" rule.

I'm not sure how effective this is. Information presented this way quickly fades into background noise..

>Like Kim Peek or Scott Flansburg?

Interesting cases, thanks for sharing. I didn't know what real-life inspiration the movie "Rain Man" came from. However, the two people seem to be worlds apart socially. While Peek seems to be extremely "stunted" in his social development, Flansburg appears to be coping well with his position as a speaker, which I always thought to be rather unusual for people with autism spectrum disorder.

New comment by InfiniteLoup in "Ask HN: How do you learn Spanish guitar?"

InfiniteLoup — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 11:24:48 +0000

I once had a mystical encounter with a drunk guy on a train who advised me to learn Spanish guitar before turning 30.

However, my path preordained by the universe was interrupted when I watched a professional flamenco tutorial and was put off by the teacher's long fingernails, which are apparently required to play, but which I found absolutely repulsive.

Why do these articles about social “trends” so often seem like poor attempts at social engineering to promote social atomization or hostility between the sexes?

Google search (for those who are still using it) comes up with a funny little Easter egg when you search for "Chicxulub asteroid" or "Chicxulub crater".

In case you want to look those up, I know for sure that FaceGym masks were popular with the affluent demographic for a while.
