I'm a little confused by the link, seems more like it is "they support linux" than "I can buy one with linux preinstalled"


The advantage of computers that you can buy without a pre-installed OS or with a free OS (freedos! Linus, etc...), is that you don't pay the Windows tax.


I don't think that's the point the parent poster was making.


Very insightful! art definitely sure look like it is the prime example of how important networks are, in my opinion art is entirely subjective, no matter if we are talking if it's modern or not, we really can't measure it with objective standards.

I think this article kind of gave me an inspiration to go out and get involved more, I definitely worry too much about my performance in my field and not really on how I interact.


Cannot take this article seriously, I think we understand certain features we have can make certain things easier for us and harder for other people, but simplifying it saying it's an IQ thing and stretching implying it's something that only happens at early ages?

Too much factors to understand why someone is successful or not, and there is a lot to practice and how you approach it to become an expert to it... acting like skill has a cap is not really gonna help you at all anyway


I picked up CSS last year because I always felt bad I never really put my time into it while I had to use it so often, I'm not a designer by any means but I like to experiment things out, but what I got from what I learned is that CSS works in its own way, it's not that much about "I want this div in this position" but more like "Everything in your page must flow a certain way" and from the experience I've had with certain inhouse "frameworks" it seems like other people dont get it either.

I think that in that sense CSS still irks me a bit, I still do a lot of things that just feeeel like a hack, but from what I search and google around it seems like that's the only way to do it? but I also think it's kinda fun, I like reading the MDN web docs from time to time and they do seem to explain things very thoroughly, I've had a lot of moments where things started to click after reading it.


Pretty sad to hear they degrade so fast over time, the possibility of sensing electromagnetic fields just sounds so fun to me, like adding another layer to the human senses


This is nice to know, I do use rhythmic breathing a lot when I try to meditate and you can inmediately feel the results, but I didn't know at nostril breathing, I noticed a lot through my life that I've always had difficulty breathing through either nostrils (it kinda changes), It hasn't give me as much trouble as other people in the comments, but I've grown paranoid of it lately and I can't do this technique at all pleasantly, should I have it checked?


I can of course not assess your breathing difficulties at all but maybe it's just the non-pathological https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_cycle ? Although the Wikipedia article says that usually one should not notice the effects.


this is neat, I've been using css grid a lot lately and I feel like it solved a big part of my annoyances with CSS, and yeah sure I don't see a use case for this thing in particular but it looks fun, and I'm sure someone else will


The main reason I've been wanting this is to have panels that smoothly expand and collapse.


You're building panels with a grid though?


My WebDev knowledge is quite poor but it seems natural to me that if you have slack-like sidebars, where they tend to be optional but non-temporary, the ideal solution would be 2 css-grids, and a way to switch between them. Even if it were temporary, like a shop using a sidebar for its menu , it still seems intuitively the preferred solution. Essentially just flipping between grid-states.

This is assuming you're actually dealing with a grid, and not some kind of floating pop-over panel eg a drop-down menu panel

How would you go about it? Maybe more importantly, how would you want to go about it?


Honestly, for sidebars I'd use flexbox.

For anything where you only need to control one dimension, flexbox is way easier and cleaner. Plus you can animate it!


This was very eye-opening, not being very familiar with the time I thought MIDI was just a designation we had for music in older games, I never thought it worked like that, sounds like it could have a lot of potential!


There's an extension for MIDI to control things like lighting and pyrotechnics:

I've been looking for something like this, thank you a lot! I wonder if something similar exists for HN book recommendations?


Just Google HN book threads.
