It should be illegal to have hold music with an imperfect loop, such that it cuts off for a brief moment and fills you with a fleeting period of hope before throwing you back to the wait.

It has been a while, so I just wanted to resurface this gem. A brilliant and interactive bit of work.

The use of 'he/she' really annoys me.
'They' is much more inclusive than 'he/she' and is also quicker to both say and write. Anyone using 'he/she' today is either forced to by some obtuse requirements, or is purposefully being bigoted.
'(s)he' is no better and is just as needlessly difficult.23 4Jul 14, 2026 -

Personally extremely disappointed to see Mozilla proudly and cheerfully announcing that Firefox is active again on X (formerly Twitter).

I've collected up everything I know about Hacker News into a substantial article for your reading pleasure. It is rather long and covers the site's history, obscura, and various undocumented and under-documented details.

I grow ever weary of people telling me that the Facebook app is listening to them via the microphone. It doesn't need to.

I've been asked what framework I used to make the dashboard for my Stoat bot AutoMod so fast and snappy.
It is genuinely just slick HTML/CSS/JS that communicates with an API layer I developed. The dashboard itself doesn't depend on even a single external library.43 2Jul 21, 2026 -

Apple were big on web apps when the iPhone first launched. The App Store was added reluctantly in mid-2008 as the original idea was for third parties to create web apps, but that didn't pan out.
I don't know if it is archived anywhere due to an iPhone user agent being required.2 1Jul 17, 2026 -

Can't wait to see AI-driven dementia become a big thing with people offloading all their thinking and their brains thusly deteriorating.

After much ado, I've finally shipped the swanky new dashboard for my Stoat bot AutoMod. So glad to finally have it out there and live. I must admit, back-end is far from my strength.
