GH has a "Discussions" feature for message-boards attached to your project. Same sign-on as GH. Nobody turns it on.

Ghostty turned on Discussions and made it the first place for users to go report bugs, make feature requests, etc., then promotes those to issues once it's detailed enough for the maintainers to accept: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues/3558

Later, Hyprland followed suit: https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/9854

I'm sure there are other projects doing the same, but those are the two I know about off the top of my head.


MS' Sql Server Data Tools is such an abominable garbage fire that I have no interest in these kind of tools. Besides being a buggy mess, it's very often insufficient - you end up having to maintain migrations anyways because often you have to inject data into new tables or columns, or rename columns, etc.

> often you have to inject data into new tables or columns

No tool can help you with that, simply because this kind of data migration depends on your particular business logic that the tool has no way of knowing about.

While SQL Server Data Tools has its warts, it has been immensely useful for us in making sure every little detail gets handled during migration. That doesn't usually mean that it can do the entire migration itself - we do the manual adjustments to the base tables that SSDT cannot do on its own, and then let it handle the rest, which in our case is mostly about indexes, views, functions and stored procedures.

After all that, SSDT can compare the resulting database with the "desired" database, and reliably flag any differences, preventing schema drift.


"illegal"

At what point has that stopped literally anything this government has done?


I've taken the approach of electrical-taping my USB-chargeable 14500s each to a dummy-battery, since the things I put them in have 2 adjacent slots for series AAs. The voltage is still high (3.somethingV instead of 3V) but they seem to work.

Are those LiFePO4 batteries that cap around 3.6V, or normal lithium ion that cap around 4.2V? I'd be cautious with either kind but especially with the latter.

They say 3.7v, so probably the wrong kind.

That's smart. It's not perfect, as you say, but at least it's trying to play nicely with the other kids.

What's surprising is how poor Google Search's transcript access is to Youtube videos. Like, I'll Google search for statements that I know I heard on Youtube but they just don't appear as results even though the video has automated transcription on it.

I'd assumed they simply didn't feed it properly to Google Search... but they did for Gemini? Maybe just the Search transcripts are heavily downranked or something.


American Conservatives explicitly admitted they are not part of the reality-based community (their words) back in 2004 [1]. In 2017 Kellyanne Conway offered "alternative facts" (her words). In a lawsuit, Fox News admitted that Tucker Carlson's commentary was not to be taken literally. Alex Jones similarly claimed in a lawsuit that his work is "performance art" and is playing a character like The Joker. [4]

It's constantly disappointing how the apparent intellectuals who frequent and operate HN will rally to that side out of libertarian convenience and out of annoyance and disgust at "wokism". And then will inevitably be shocked when everything goes sideways again. Hopefully the education will stick longer this time than it did after G.W.Bush.

I've a smallish lawn so I've just been using wired yard tools my whole life. Have to be careful to mind the extension cord but it's dead simple and zero-maintenance. My lawnmower is just about old enough to run for President. Just make sure you get the right cable gauge for your mower, since you're dealing with long-enough runs that resistance loss in the cable is substantial and Home Depot just wants to sell you 100 foot 16 gauge thing that probably shouldn't be anywhere near a proper lawnmower.


In 1-on-1 it would be awkward to call it out but in a group meeting where I wouldn't be singling a person out it'd be pretty easy to just ask "could whoever's in the bathroom please mute?" without any kind of confrontation.


Imho the real strength of markdown is it forces people to stick to classes instead of styling. "I want to write in red comic Sans" " I don't care, you can't".

And markdown tables are harder to write than HTML tables. However, they are generally easier to read. Unless multi line cell.


I usually just write html tables, then convert to markdown via pandoc. It's a crazy world we live in.


> XML has self-closing tag syntax but it wasn't always handled well by browsers.

So we'll add another syntax for browsers to handle.

I was going to respond that HTML was the original syntax and XML the usurper, but a comment in another thread casts some doubt on that version of events: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46576844
