This is a very silly thing to be doing in 2026, but I finally tried some Quake 1 recently. Pretty cool, it's amazing how much it really does just end up feeling like Doom in 3D.

Since I played both Doom and Quake 2 back in the day, it does feel like I've finally bridged that gap, to where I think I understand what people mean when they talk about Romero's influence in the design.

Another thing I think it makes really clear is just how much room-over-room changes the way the game spaces feel, even if no one's actively thinking about that while they play.

Never forget, !

Come for a dance!

My Country is On Fire mataherry.bearblog.dev/my-country-is-on-fire/

Hati-hati pak! I worked in Borneo before, and seeing the forests burn is horrifying. I miss all the wildlife there. Mau kembali ke Indonesia!

I'm in Java, not Kalimantan, really can't imagine how all the people and animals go through everyday living in literal hell of fire

…

Is there any contact you can make with international advocates?

The more I use Terraform the more I don't like it. Can I just get the option to track state with Ansible?

Say more. I've been using it this year "at scale" and it sucks in the way that everything sucks when the whole company starts using it for everything. I haven't used Ansible in over a decade, but am curious what you like about it better.

Ansible just melds with my way of thinking better. I have a really hard time wrapping my head around nested loops in HCL and the overall "ugliness" of the language. Plus, I kind of like being in control of the order things are created.

Anybody here actively working in or has contributed to (in any capacity) conservation (be it flora or fauna)?

You know, as interesting as that sounds, I wouldn't at all know where to begin with something like that. Do you have a suggestion?

I suggest looking around your area first, perhaps there are conservation groups already. Then, select among them which one focuses on native species that are most impactful to your place. 😁

I finally bit the bullet and have started to use dictation software more often, even outside of just my prompts. I really like it. Hopefully, computer use becomes much smoother soon. I would love to be able to control my computer with just my voice.

Job I was hoping for gave me the "we found another applicant" treatment. I don't begrudge them for that, since I know I had a 'less than adequate initial coding interview. But still, it stings and sucks. Hopefully my other interviews yield better results...

Wish you luck! Personally, I can't even land an interview these days -get rejected on the spot, so that's a feat on its own.

I'm not sure the world needs another static site generator, but I made one. get-taxus.org Giving the project some TLC this week, doing some bug squashing. If you want and SSG that doesn't fight you, give it a go.

The world needing one? Never. But you needing one? Always. If you're not using your own SSG, are you even webbing?

what are ya'lls favorite wikipedia page? I myself is partial to the 'variations' entry for high fives

You should check my other site onlycats.cc i think you will enjoy!

love it. great concept

still five hops to Hitler

A little late for that :p

Fantastic contributions, thank you all!!!

…

Catastrophic interference is also a favorite Wikipedia page and concept. The thing is, it doesn’t only happen to artificial neural networks, I’ve had it happen to me a few times. Especially with pin numbers, newer pins overwriting old ones and I’m always scared when I’m having hard time remembering something that this catastrophic interference applied and now the information is gone from my brain.

Bring back partial anterior encephalectomies

Which part of the brain would you remove?

It seems like removing some of the connections between the anterior and frontal cortices could have positive effects.

I think you're perfect as you are :)

Is it just my phone or is HN down? I haven't been able to access at all today

Just your phone. Works for me. Try

That works. About time for a new phone though

we're at the hn front page people! :))

Congratulations!

ty! welcome :)

…

Asking, how popular can it be if not hugged to death? ;)

Thats why im here, hello

Going to document some approaches to produce data visualizations using ari via DuckDB. Don’t know why it didn’t occur to me earlier, that there would be some solid community extensions for in DuckDB.

I was trying to use an approach that relies on community extensions, but installing them is proving finicky. Going to consider an approach that requires less futzing.

It is evident that the use of AI in the workplace has had an immense impact on the awareness and mental capabilities of knowledge workers

i made an extension to get a top hacker news items with summary on every new tab. chromewebstore.google.com/…/pmlajlgklmgabkhammfolkgkeghamjnn

cool! i've made The Front Page you might want to check it out also - it shows the first 3 pages of HN with AI summaries and images. Like a newspaper.

thanks to ai I genuinely hate the word "genuinely" now 😭

Useful software necessarily contacts the world; models are already better than us at finding and poking holes in it; agents sacrificing themselves for a collective. Huggingface incident has me finally Yudkowsky-panic-curious.
