Love `hx`, vim never really clicked for me and the batteries-included nature of helix is one of its best selling points.

Is this an annoying amount of steps? And do you have to do this on every expiry of your session on the portal?

Many days I worry that HN has lost its humanity and then something with a bit of levity and weird shows up and I am relieved.

What films could be categorised in this way?

Similar story but Melbourne.

I just don’t see _as much_ self-directed ambition or obsession? Going to a meetup in Seattle or SF in the early 2010s there were serious obsessives. Masters of domains like Go or JavaScript and someone from Sequoia at the Startup Weekend. Always flocks of folks looking to start their next business. That same bug just never hit here?

This I find weird, surely there are people who can sense opportunities unlockable by tech and Australia is not at all easier or any less expensive than the U.S., I still can’t quite put my finger on it. For me there’s still a magical cultural element to a place like SF, and to an extent – Seattle, when it comes to creating new opportunities.

I love Standard Ebooks! It is such a treasure! Currently enjoying Cup of Gold by John Steinbeck.

Thank you to everyone who helps put this together!

Do you have a write up on how you get this to work with Apple TV? What you have I consider the dream setup.

Oh wow - I met Alan back in 2012 when I was working on a project called WhichBus. How cool!

Thank you for your continued involvement and contributions to OneBusAway!

Would be nice to put through all the terrible plastic-wrapped produce you find at Coles and Woolies.

New comment by dalanmiller in "Ask HN: What's a good alternative to The Verge now it's login-gated?"

dalanmiller — Sat, 14 Dec 2024 11:10:28 +0000

The answer is to pay for content you enjoy.

The Verge is a great site, it was an easy decision to pay to be a member.

Easily the single best bang for your buck game I have ever played.

I’d still say that at AUD$100
