Another point of evidence of why HN is great. Even reading this point in this argument had me thinking and wondering why it was banned and then the moderator comment right below (but can't be replied to?) explains the reasoning.

One of the best uses of HN for me is watching my brain jump to conclusions only to have them slapped down by a well thought out counter argument.

This forum isn't perfect but I haven't found a better public discussion board on the internet. Hat tip to the moderators and others making this happen. Your work is appreciated.

The red color filter for outside when trying to preserve night vision is a great tip. Some apps have this built-in but much better to have the OS change it everywhere.

Recommend creating a Shortcut to toggle this setting.

Was not aware of the 4th book. Looking forward to that. Thank you. The first three books were great and opened my eyes to the sheer breadth of what other intelligent life could be like.

Your review is almost spot on for me. I’m agreeing with it all along with the exception that I really like his writing and, well, I would say “enjoy” his novels, I do respect and value the time spent reading them.

That is a great question!

Thanks for taking it for the team. It sounds interesting but I'm skeptical if alternative grains will beat popcorn.

The speed at which computers run is beyond human intuition and beyond the speed for humans to respond. A killer robot will kill everybody in range practically instantly. It would be nothing like what movies show.

Author here. I wanted a lightweight macOS app sitting in my menu bar for when I need to grab some fake data for various reasons.

Happy for any feedback or to answer any questions.
