Becoming the person who does the thing

news.ycombinator.com Fred Rivett 2025-10-22 20:24:36

It can be disorienting when our beliefs shift. The world we helped create no longer exists, and our role in it transforms too. It can be unsettling, naturally. But that's kind of the point. Looking back at times when I held certain beliefs—about how the world works, and what my role in this story is—it can feel less like a mod was installed and more like an entirely new operating system was swapped in. Up until my late twenties, I could count the number of times I had been to the gym on one h

The New York Times Mini Crossword Now Has a Paywall, but There Is a Way to Play

I'm a fan of the New York Times Mini Crossword -- a sporty, streamlined companion to the newspaper's legendary regular daily crossword. Typically, the Mini Crossword (we publish the answers daily) has roughly a dozen clues to work through -- six across-clues and six down-clues -- and you can complete it in less than a minute if all goes well.

Jef Raskin’s cul-de-sac and the quest for the humane computer

Consider the cul-de-sac. It leads off the main street past buildings of might-have-been to a dead-end disconnected from the beaten path. Computing history, of course, is filled with such terminal diversions, most never to be fully realized, and many for good reason. Particularly when it comes to user interfaces and how humans interact with computers, a lot of wild ideas deserved the obscure burials they got. But some deserved better.

VPNs and Age-Verification Laws: What You Need to Know

wired.com Jacob Roach 2025-10-22 21:30:00

The problem is how the verification happens. You aren’t verifying your age with the government. You’re routing it through an independent third party, and most of the laws on the books are designed specifically in this way. In the UK, for example, Reddit verifies with Persona, and Bluesky uses Kids Web Services (owned by Epic Games).
