There's technical podcasts that are guides? When listening to something like The Changelog, it's just a conversation about a technology and its origins.

Not married but live with my partner for almost 3 years. I listen to podcasts with headphones on at work especially when doing chores. No complaints, though I'm also not doing it 24/7. I've never thought of podcasts as something to do with someone else . Guess it depends on your relationship?

Pretty cool report. Personally all I want is to be able to change my username, even if it means emailing and waiting a few days.

Italy is probably the worst European example of this. For most of history the country was split into nation states that warred with each other. Even after unification, there's a strong cultural divide between the north and the south.

Wouldn't an online community for that be a community dedicated to "intellectual discussion, debates, and political movements"? I'm confused about what you're looking for exactly.

> What's causing the rise of these curated lists?

People with good intentions that want a repo with a high star count. Getting over 500 stars on these readme-only/awesome/"curated" list is very easy.

The problem is that curating these lists isn't easy work - people will throw 50+ PRs at you adding their random project. Most maintainers blindly accept them and then the list becomes useless.

Sindre (original awesome list author) is one of the few who actually curates their lists.

Gruber criticizes Apple all the time. The past few episodes of his podcast have been mostly complaints.

I’m sure Spotify is better than AM with discovery, but I never used that feature of Spotify. Being able to upload my own files to Apple Music (got a lot of music not in streaming services) and play it anywhere is a killer feature for me.

A few months ago we had a story here in HN claiming that parents spend more time with their kids now, or at least want to spend more time with them. Not to mention nowadays both parents take care of the kids - a few decades ago outside of dinner and going out on the weekend fathers didn't do much else. Maybe that's why you feel this way.

I have friends whose parents switched careers by studying or working late, and I know some junior developers who are parents who taught themselves to code. So obviously just because you have kids doesn't mean you can't do anything else with your free time. You just have to make choices with your time management, I guess. But I don't know, I don't have kids :-)

I’m not sure why tech workers think they’re special. Almost everyone that moves to NYC for a good office job goes through this. Moving to a suburb or another city after age 35 is a stereotype. So is staying here and enjoying a DINK or single life (unless you have a lot of money!).

Job-wise, the NYC tech market is as good as ever.

Have hobbies outside of sitting in the couch refreshing HN or watching Netflix. Hobbies where you get better at something.

In-App makes sense. I’ve recently purchased a good amount of not-free apps but the only in-app stuff I’ve purchased has been “pro” versions of free apps I’ve downloaded. I’m guessing the former don’t count.
