A world of highs and disappointment. But I’m totally addicted because there’s just so much new. Anyone else with ADHD feel this way or have a healthier outlook about HN?

10 years ago, there were a lot of parties in my life, and now there are none. Where have they gone? Have you seen the same, and have you managed to revive your party life? I remember parties at friends places, for housewarmings, birthdays, holidays, sports games, barbecuing, karaoke, whatever. I remember parties at work, for people joining the team, for people leaving, for projects kicking off or finishing. Now my kids are older and it seems that only they get to party. I try my best, invited some people for parties, but we never seem to get invites in return. Hypotheses I have so far: - I'm just getting old (closing in on 50) and people my age don't party anymore - COVID happened and we still haven't restarted partying the way we used to - I'm just unlucky with my set of friends and need to renew my friendships Very interested in both macro trends (eg is partying overall just down) as well as things that you've done at individual level to restart party life.

I, as a person have zero accounts anywhere, except for one here. I've been gainfully employed in industry for ~2 decades, and frankly I have neither need nor desire to have a "social profile". I speak at conferences when I want to, sans twitter, linkedin, etc. Moreso - I find the amount of developer advocate written blogspam (let's just call it marketing crap) only contributes to the web problems - and hence have started to block... everything, including my employer's search results (personally, with a plugin in DuckDuckGo and Google.

New top story on Hacker News: GoDaddy Rant:(
GoDaddy Rant:(
13 by Jaxtek | 12 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, I tried editing a subdomain's CNAME record and it was not editable (API returned "Duplicate entry"). So I deleted that record and tried creating again. Same error. Now our old record is gone and I can't create new one. I spoke with the support and they created a record for `subdomain.example.com.example.com` instead of `subdomain.example.com` from backend (lol). When I pointed it out, they politely said they cant do anything about it . Now I can do nothing to revert what I did. This was a subdomain used by few people in the company so it didn't cause any major problems. But it would have been disastrous otherwise(Some of our pings are already failing). We will be transferring the domain to another registrar ASAP. I would recommend anyone having a GoDaddy domain to transfer to another registrar. More examples: https://ift.tt/6eUCFu1 Rant over.

Ask HN: Alternatives to Scratch for a blind child?
13 by nathell | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, My friend’s children are starting their adventure with programming at school with Scratch. Unfortunately, the eldest one is blind, and as Scratch is visual, he won’t be able to use it. A pity: the kid has probably the most vivid imagination of all people I know. Can you recommend an alternative? Something tactile or audial, perhaps? A quick googling yielded https://codejumper.com/ – is it worth the $1K it costs? Personal experience reports are most welcome. Thanks!
