I've been eagerly awaiting access to the tool for quite a while.

I would definitely be willing to pay to try it out and provide feedback in addition. I'm genuinely surprised by this news.

I often think that the reason why PHP is still so popular compared to Perl is because php never stopped evolving.

If php had paused development or even slowed it down like this it would also have been far less popular as probably even frameworks like Symfony and Laravel won't be possible with the older versions of php.

So thank you to the maintainers but I wish Perl evolved more quickly like PHP.

I feel that for music. During my teenage years I used to listen to the same songs over and over on my walkman. I still remember 99% lyrics to the whole albums. The music used to have such a strong connection.

Nowadays there are 1000+ songs in my playlist I can't even recollect 20% lyrics nor there is a chance in hell that I would listen to every single song on the entire album let alone every single song by tthe same artist.

It's like if I don't like the first 10 seconds, it's hide song and Spotify makes sure I never have to listen to that again. Even though some of my all time favorites are songs I hated at first but then there was no hide song button.

Sorry I digress but yeah the connections you make in childhood are really something. I just hope it's my age and not the technology responsible for this and the youth of today feel the same connection too.

Surprised the headline didn't mention it was a Boeing 777. Points to bbc for not going for the obvious clickbait.

Very nice. Since Hn data spawns so many such fun projects, there should be a monthly or weekly updates zip file or torrent with this data, which hackers can just download instead of writing a scraper and starting from scratch all the time.

The company I work for absolutely must have everyone using it as it's supposed to be much safer to Windows. So I had to spend over $2k for a stupid laptop that won't even run half the apps without hacks like Rosetta. I also hate that there are 3 special keys and command and ctrl are separated.

I am myself a Linux user and using a Mac makes me appreciate Linux so much more. It could be the #1 reason I want to start my own business so I don't have to use a Mac anymore.

On one hand I agree that this should be flagged and taken off homepage (as it is right now), but. Otoh more people need to be aware of such scams and simply not trust reddit, hn, etc as good source of information anymore.

Guess it's time to jump to macOS finally.

I've always wanted to try that but due to prohibitive costs never did.

But with more and more Windows shenanigans I guess it's time to bite the bullet and make the switch .

Thanks for sharing this link. My god there is something about this writing style that's just incredibly entertaining to read.

Most of the time I get so bored reading such long articles, like the New Yorker ugh. But this is the first time I've enjoyed such a lengthy read! I hope I can decrypt what the author is doing to make reading such fun.

Is there survivor bias in being stuck? We have accepted that people who leap out of their comfort zone end up always successful. But a lot of time this is not true. I know few people who have regretted jumping and making impulsive decision in the name of growth.
