Clear your cookies for the site or open incognito mode. But I agree there's no reason not to let people continue and just mark where they ended "legitimately".

The article you linked lists a bunch of downsides to powdered sugar: it doesn’t kill the mites it just encourages the bees to brush them off, it has reduced effectiveness when it’s humid, it doesn’t work on mites that aren’t actively on a bees body, and it has to be applied regularly.

Seems like it's pretty out of date, from the site:

Site updated at 2024-03-03

It's a shame because it seems very useful.

Did you read to the end of that list and then close the article?

The person who submitted this doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Zachtronics, why are you assuming it’s an ad?

Listening to the podcast linked elsewhere in this thread, it sounds like he’s not at all reached the level of financial independence to indefinitely fund future projects. In fact the only game that went moderately viral (Opus Magnum) is not owned by him at all.

This is really disappointing to me as many of his games are some of my favourite games of all time and I assumed he’d be set for life off them. I guess the target audience is just too small.

They aren't actually. They make me feel like I'm not going crazy - that I'm not the only person noticing that the quality of the average article on hacker news has dropped off a cliff in the last 6 months. Links from different people with different cultures, life experiences, and languages have the same tone of voice, the same sentence structure, and the same breathless, boring, staccato yet arrhythmic, emotive yet soulless style.

I hope everyone keeps pointing it out. Even better, change the site guidelines to make AI generated articles a flaggable offense. It's already been done for comments.

You're likely thinking of Yuzu which was a switch emulator. Nintendo probably targeted them because they were about to launch the switch 2 and wanted to send a message.

Ok but organizing a separate address for each delivery is going to be a pain

No doubt this website has a better range of sounds, but this is also built into iOS/MacOS as an accessibility feature which means you can use it even when offline.

No? One affects the actual text and the other doesn’t.

This doesn’t feel vibe coded at all. It looks beautiful on mobile, the illustrations are all credited to specific artists, the text doesn’t scream AI to me either.

To be realistic, 99% of the time it should be a totally innocuous command. If half of the commands are dangerous then you don't get fatigue because you're aware what you're doing is dangerous.

They deleted my account from 2010 because I didn't convert it to a Microsoft one. They baked an incredibly aggressive chat filter into multiplayer, even if you're not playing on official servers. They've added microtransactions for things that we previously free (skins, resource packs). They force you into their shitty, bloated, user-hostile launcher with adverts.

Child mortality rates have dropped off a cliff in every country in the world in the last 100 years. More people than ever have access to clean drinking water, to toilets, to doctors.

Fewer people die in wars. Fewer people die in pandemics. The Black Death killed half of Europe.

This purely pessimistic, nihilistic view of the modern world is as widely inaccurate as a purely optimistic one.

You can double tap the lock button to open your wallet with all your passes. Also it automatically raises the brightness for QR passes to make it easier for readers.

You could do the same thing with shortcuts I guess but using the first class feature is nice.

The individual numbers for git operations, pull requests, and actions are all still single-nine.

This kills an entire class of useful crowdsourcing web apps though. Just off the top of my head, contributing to OSM is much easier when you can just take a bunch of photos and see them displayed on a map.

This is a really nice little game. My feedback is that on mobile at least, the text that pops up often blocks vision of the ball, which is quite frustrating. I would move it down a bit
