- thecopy 8mo agoIm planning on getting the new M5 MBP i expect to be released next week. Is it possible to downgrade? I assume it comes with Tahoe :(
- mpalmer 8mo agoAlmost certainly not :|
- mhurron 8mo agoTypically no, Mac's don't expect to run versions of macOS before the one they were released with.
- teaearlgraycold 8mo agoWhy not buy a used M4 Pro/Max?
- layer8 8mo agoIt’s not worth it, especially since the M6 MBP is rumored to already come out later this year (though likely with a price hike): https://9to5mac.com/2026/02/26/two-unique-new-macbook-pros-are-launching-this-year-starting-next-week/ https://9to5mac.com/2026/02/26/two-unique-new-macbook-pros-a...
- cosmic_cheese 8mo agoDepends on what one is looking for. I'm considering upgrading to an M5 model because while the M6 redesign might come with some nicer specs, it's also going to be coming with some teething pains by virtue of having a new design. The M5 generation is probably going to be a speed bump with a chassis and screen that's a known quantity and has had the kinks smoothed out.
- DavidPiper 8mo agoI'm also cautious of the redesign. But I got burned by the first Touchbar Macbook back in the day, so twice shy etc.
- ProllyInfamous 8mo agoI skipped the touchbar/buttery era, but before that the GPU/ballgate disaster plagued the MacBookPro lineup — pushed me away from Apple hardware for over decade! My vision has since gotten bad enough that I can't really use laptops/phones well, anymore — but recently got a 15" MacBookAir, M3 pre-Tahoe (for bedtime youtubies). The hardware is exceptional, battery life even more so... and I'll never update the operating system.
- sgloutnikov 8mo agoIt's possible if you do a wipe and do a fresh install. You essentially boot into the Sequoia installer. I'm also looking at possibly picking up a M5 MBP and was the first things I looked into.
- grliga 8mo agoI bought a refurb m4 mac recently just to avoid tahoe slop ... worth considering, I think.
- bla3 8mo agohttps://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/02/how-to-downgrade-from-macos-26-tahoe-on-a-new-mac/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/02/how-to-downgrade-fro... describes how to downgrade.
- latexr 8mo agoFrom that page: > As a rule of thumb, Macs will not run any version of macOS older than the one they shipped with when they launched. Apple provides security updates for older versions of macOS, but it doesn’t bother backporting drivers and other hardware support from newer versions to older ones. So the answer is “no”, they probably won’t be able to downgrade on the models that are about to be released.
- DavidPiper 8mo agoI accidentally hit the wrong button a few weeks ago and upgraded to Tahoe. I didn't think it was that big a deal at the time, I'd just been putting it off. But having used it for a few weeks now I can confirm it is a strict downgrade over Sequoia for me. I use none of the new features it has introduced, and the changes to existing features are just worse. Some UI animations are slow and jittery - and this is on an M4 Pro. The Finder has gone from fine to janky once again, especially with horizontal scroll. The window corners and mouse interactions are indeed annoying (I'd assumed the many complaints were at least slight hyperbole). Left-aligned window titles are unbalanced and ugly. I've had weird (visual) app duplication issues with the Application smart-folder in the Dock. Cross-device copy-paste SEEMS to be more flaky than usual. And most petty of all I really don't like the new icons - especially the Trash icon for some reason.
- Hamuko 8mo agoI have Tahoe on my work laptop and Sequoia on my personal desktop, and the thing that keeps me the most rooted on Sequoia is the padding. Everything on Tahoe is padded to hell and back. And the new tab design sucks so much. iTerm2 tabs look fucking terrible in it.
- dgemm 8mo agoSame - 13" macbook screen becomes less functional when you fill it with padding.
- mxs_ 8mo agothey have really tried hard to make the entire OS less usable. I'm not an "iToddler", I paid for a Unix workstation and will not have lower information density forced onto me.
- deadbabe 8mo agoWhy are you not using Ghostty instead of iTerm2?
- chrisandchris 8mo ago
- hhh 8mo ago[flagged]
- slashink 8mo agoI run both, Tahoe on laptop, Sequoia on mac studio. Tahoe is strictly worse, the corner radius drag issue is driving me crazy on the daily.
- azan_ 8mo agoIt's ugly and slow, I see no reason why I would want to "upgrade" to that.
- doawoo 8mo agoIt actively ruins multimedia software I use in live performances- so no I don’t just need to upgrade
- pier25 8mo agoIt's much easier to simply use this with whatever date you prefer: defaults write com.apple.SoftwareUpdate MajorOSUserNotificationDate -date "2030-03-03 12:00:00 +0000"
- egb 8mo agoI've got that in place and still get the Tahoe popups, so there's some other mechanism here.
- testing22321 8mo agoSame for me. I setup a focus for do not disturb that runs from 12am to 11:59pm every Day. Have not seen the popup on 4 weeks since I set it up
- nottorp 8mo agoConfirming. I tried that several times and it never sticks. Sequoia here.
- pier25 8mo agodamn you're right :/
- deleted 8mo ago[deleted]
- deleted 8mo ago[deleted]
- fidotron 8mo agoSame problem here. Linux + KDE surpassed Windows many years ago, now I find I also prefer it to the Mac laptops, which are otherwise better only for portability. Apple need to get their software act together. Such a shame because the hardware is awesome. A near perfect inversion of the era of Tiger on the G4.
- OsrsNeedsf2P 8mo agoLinux + KDE has a significantly worse UI than Tahoe
- coeneedell 8mo agoI’m gonna need a more detailed argument than that.
- bee_rider 8mo agoIt isn’t really a worthwhile argument. Linux has so many window managers, whatever somebody likes about MacOS there’s one that does it better.
- nurettin 8mo agoStarted with kde2, then openbox (2000s), then i3 (2010s), these days I got so used to gnome, anything else feels like a downgrade. So probably it is just what you're used to.
- notpushkin 8mo agoOne thing I really like about macOS is the shortcuts. You can fairly easily get 90% there on KDE, though. The last 10% is tricky regardless of the WM you choose: some apps just don’t want you to mess with the shortsuts in this way (looking at you, Mozilla). Apart from that, honestly? With global menu, KDE is nearly indistinguishable from how I use macOS.
- dotancohen 8mo agoI'm a KDE user who is currently on his second stint using a Mac - the last was in 2017. I'm trying to be as objective as possible, but my list of "it works better on Linux" is far longer than the "it works better on Mac" list. I'd love to know your arguments.
- deleted 8mo ago[deleted]
- tl2do 8mo ago[flagged]
- beacon294 8mo agoI read the old forums carefully: [BIG Warning: this didn't work for child commenter] - simply decline/reject the TOS on install. It will auto uninstall the installer and go away. Life has been good since.
- xbar 8mo agoThank you. I own several Macs. One is on Tahoe. It feels the worst. More than myself, though, I need to give my less technical family members a respite from the tricky traps that lead to inadvertently installing it.
- n8cpdx 8mo agoAs bad as it is, I don't think it is bad in ways that non technical users are likely to notice unfortunately. Mostly because I think years of horrible software have trained people to not have expectations. Tahoe is still a breath of fresh air compared to Windows, and iOS 26 is still great compared to Android (as I've unfortunately learned from a failed switch attempt).
- mjorgers 8mo agoWhat makes you say that about Android? I’m a iOS user, but was under the impression that Android was already quite polished, especially the stock experience (as it is with pixel phones)
- n8cpdx 8mo agoIt comes down mostly to app quality. The apps that are present are not as polished in ways that I found intolerable: - myNetDiary: seemingly equivalent features, but was super stuttery on Android - like 20fps just scrolling and interacting. It also didn't feel native at all - Transit: the app was extremely glitch when trying to scroll. Seizure inducing. - Wire guard supports on demand tunnel on iOS and macOS. No such option on Android. Inconceivable. - If you want a polished experience, you have to install the Pixel/Google equivalents of apps, and it is hard to use them in ways that aren't associated with your Google account. The built-in messages app is horrible so you need to install Google Messages. If you're logged into Play you're logged into Google Messages; no choice in the matter. If you want a good camera you need to install Pixel camera, and they leverage that to lock you into Google Photos. iOS is no better, but the trade off with Android is less polish for more choice, not less polish for the same strong arm lock in tactics. - the OS hijack navigation in ways that are horrible for day to day browsing. In particular, there are no forward gestures because android insists on making swipe left from the right edge go back. I was told android is customizable but there is no option here. Consequence: no draggable scrollbar, no forward navigation in browsers. - the built-in calendar (Google calendar) doesn't support drag and drop for adjusting event times. It made the calendar app excruciating to use - everything takes many more taps than iOS. Also, no support for CalDAV and CardDAV out of the box means Android is a bad choice if you self host. I tried DAVx5 but found it unreliable. - Google Calendar won't show local calendar entries on open until you navigate to a different app then go back. - The back gesture works differently more or less at random. Sometimes an app screen is part of the navigation stack, sometimes it isn't. Because android apps assume you will have a back button, they don't provide any back option, but it is always ambiguous what back will do - close the keyboard, close the app, close the menu, navigate back within the app. On iOS the options are different but more clearly presented and overall far more consistent than android. - copy and paste is less consistent than iOS. Sometimes it for some reason makes me do a detour through a full screen text editor. Not really sure why. - app design is inconsistent - a mix of pre-material, material 1, and material 3/you. - doesn't have basic features I've come to rely on. Like on iOS I can make an app require biometrics to open. No such option with stock android launcher. Similarly, basic android doesn't seem to have the photo slides how option for backgrounds, which I love on my iPhone. - Android has poor support for RCS. RCS just worked on my iPhone, but it failed to set up after a day of trying on the Pixel. - Health Connect does a bad job deduplicating data. On iOS my watch, phone, earphones, etc all contribute data. IOS can handle this without eg double counting steps. Health Connect cannot. There are also fewer options for visualizing the data, since Health Connect is very new, whereas HealthKit is well over a decade old. There are parts of android that are polished. I think the basic launcher experience is overall better if you turn off the Google Now stuff. I like that the animations are faster. Material You, although underrealized, looks great where it is implemented, far better than liquid glass.
- kjuulh 8mo agoUpgrading to Sequoia was a mistake, and so was upgrading to Tahoe. I like new and shiny software, but these two releases aren't great. Outside of a good amount of bugs. It is wild to me that Apple can't even get their own UI consistent. Apples own apps are pretty much the only things you can't close. Finder: can't quit. System settings, somehow doesn't expand horizontally (are we still in the 2000s apple?) I haven't felt the liquid glass or whatever too much on the laptop, but I just used one of my family members Iphone today, and man it was distracting, it seems crazy that contrast has gone out the window. But especially the bugs. Apple should really take a release that is just bug fixing. I had to switch out Spotlight because it kept trying to want to index my entire system, which is hard when you work in both Rust and typescript projects (lots of small files).
- roughly 8mo agoI’ve been a pretty die hard Mac user for 25-odd years now (I own a HomePod, for fuck sake), but this is the first time I’ve taken pains to _not_ update to the latest OS. The Tahoe UI/UX is really just inexcusable, and nothing else I’ve heard or seen makes me willing to put up with it. I’m very much hoping they course correct soon, but as sits, my Linux box is suddenly starting to look like the future.
- halapro 8mo agoI'm the guy who installs OS betas on their main/only devices (going back to Windows Vista beta) and I don’t think I'll be installing this OS anytime soon. I'm more hoping that they get their act together by September 2026's release.
- dzink 8mo agoDear Apple, no latency from brain to action is the greatest design you can possibly have. We want to feel one with the machine. That's the greatest joy and difference between a Mac and a Windows machine. Adding latency to the fastest machine possible is criminal. Please STOP DOING IT with unnecessary animations.
- halapro 8mo agoI think you're in the wrong ecosystem if you don't like animations. Over the top animations have been at the core of Apple, I still remember the "drop in the water" animation of OS X Tiger's Dashboard. 20 years ago.
- dijit 8mo agoI think you're overselling it, the minimise? Sure. But I can't think of a single animation that added a delay to processing on MacOS. Compare to say, Windows, at least.
- dzink 8mo agoTry Liquid Glass on iphone. Absolutely horrible if you don’t turn off all the motion.
- fooster 8mo agoI don't find that to be the case.
- bee_rider 8mo agoThe changes of Liquid Glass are the what everyone is complaining about, right? Previously they were OK at designing UI.
- bryzaguy 8mo agoI was really nervous about the update to Liquid Glass based on comments like this but my experience has been really positive. I love the new contextual tooltip menu when I try to select text and other thoughtful details. Maybe there’s things I’m not bumping into?
- JSR_FDED 8mo agoI’ve used Little Snitch to block the installation of Tahoe. I get a notification every few days, it when I click on it there’s a message that it can’t download the update. Massive stress reducer knowing I can’t accidentally upgrade to Tahoe.
- lapcat 8mo ago> I get a notification every few days Blocking mobileassetd should stop that: https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/2026/1/6.html https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/2026/1/6.html
- schmeichel 8mo agoOut of curiosity, how did you go about doing that? That sounds really nice and I'd be interested to see if it could work with LuLu as well.
- post-it 8mo agoAdding my opinion: Sequoia was fine and so is Tahoe on a base M2. Can't say I've noticed a usability difference. I also prefer using a trackpad over a mouse and I don't know very many keyboard shortcuts, and I only use one monitor.
- CharlesW 8mo agoI'm happy to report that Tahoe is also no slower on M1 Macs.
- celsoazevedo 8mo agoSome animations (eg: a popup) are choppy on our M1 Macbook Air. I wonder why it's smooth for some, but not for others.
- dirasieb 8mo agono issues here either, macbook air m4 + 2k 180hz monitor + a bunch of usb and bluetooth peripherals the only thing i miss from sequoia so far is the launchpad, but i've already adapted to just using spotlight
- travisvn 8mo agoHey everyone, I'm the owner of the repo that Rob references in his blog post (https://github.com/travisvn/stop-tahoe-update https://github.com/travisvn/stop-tahoe-update) Just wanted to comment to see if I can help answer any questions as well as mentioning that we improved the instructions in the README based on some of the points Rob made a few weeks back. There really are a large number of us out there that know Tahoe would be a downgrade to their current setup If you have any ideas on how to improve the resilience of the workarounds, please connect on the GitHub, or just starring the repo would help, as the project would get more attention and hopefully more solutions offered as a result. It's frustrating to feel like your computer isn't.. yours anymore when you're pushed so insistently like with this "upgrade". Hopefully we can figure out some sustainable ways to get some autonomy back.
- the-mitr 8mo agoThanks for your work!
- tempodox 8mo agoI just wanted to thank you for this work. I wouldn’t have known where to start. Reading about all the hoops to jump through I can’t help but think that macOS is getting ever closer to being malware, just like Windows. An OS you have to fight to stay productive. I’ve been a Mac user since 1995, but the way this has been going over so many years now, I can’t imagine my next computer to be yet another Mac any more. I have been forced to view Linux as the last refuge. It was nice while it lasted, but eventually Stallman was right the whole time.
- MagerValp 8mo agoYou’ll be disappointed to learn that the deferral is 90 days from the release of the major OS version, not 90 days from when the configuration is set. There appears to be a bug in the delay logic in 15.7.3, but you really shouldn’t be running that — there are some important security fixes in 15.7.4.
- p_ing 8mo agoNot all security fixes are backported so unfortunately if you’re concerned about vulnerabilities, updating to the current release OS is a requirement. https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/software-update-process-dep02c211f3e/web https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/software-update-p...
- dont__panic 8mo agoMuch easier: switch to the Sequoia public beta channel!
- burnt-resistor 8mo agoExactly. I was going to write this. The "beta" channel, once RTM, becomes the release channel of that version.
- bouke 8mo agoI'm curious about what updates will get pushed through that channel. Is it just RTM updates, or will it also include beta updates? It's currently offering 15.7.5 through that channel.
- kgwgk 8mo agoThanks for the idea. Now MacOS is happy and so am I.
- seabass 8mo agoA few weeks ago Apple had a tiny (<10MB) update for media codecs ready to install on my MBP. I expanded the details for that software update and saw that if I had run it, it would also have downloaded and installed Tahoe. Apple is burning so much trust right now with these dark patterns.

- fuzzythinker 8mo agoComments here paints Tahoe very poorly, and I trust comments here on this topic. This is very bad for Apple as OS from new Macs can not be downgraded and customers like myself will either delay purchases til hopefully next OS fix these issues (not having high hopes) or buy in the 2nd hand market for older OS.
- brandonmenc 8mo agoI held out. Then I upgraded my work laptop to test it out. Then my phone. Now my personal laptop. I actually like it. Everything is snappier. The glass effects are not nearly as annoying as I expected. ymmv
- techacolyte42 8mo agoI got a work computer that was on Sonoma and had to update. Was prepared to be angry, especially after the time spent updating, and then it's eh, fine. The picture of Lake Tahoe makes me happy.
- nottorp 8mo agoHmm. You get to see the desktop picture. You only run one application at a time and close it when finished then? I suppose Tahoe's performance regressions wouldn't count then.
- yearolinuxdsktp 8mo agoYour passive-aggressive comment doesn’t deserve a response, but I’ll bite. You see the desktop picture when you walk up to the Mac to unlock it, or immediately after you lock it before walking away. Or momentarily when you use Exposé or move windows out of the way to access files on the desktop. Or if you are running multiple monitors, it’s common to clear out a side monitor or half of one for a new window/different app. And I have more windows open than a Microsoft test lab.
- jedberg 8mo agoInteresting, I'm running Sequoia and have never seen that. However, I'm running Sequoa developer beta. In my system settings under Beta updates, I have "Sequoia developer beta" selected. At this point it's basically just getting the Sequoa security patches a few days early. But I guess it also suppresses this message?
- nikcub 8mo agoso we're all going to hold onto sequoia like we did snow leopard. only reason i'm not buying a new mac at the moment is because it would force me to upgrade. the situation is absurd .. fwiw switching to the sequoia beta channel in system settings killed the nag notifications for me (I believe the profile as defined in OP will stop all updates - which you probably don't want)
- ProllyInfamous 8mo agoMy historic "sticking points" have been macOS 9.1, 10.8, 10.13, & presently 13.2 I'm getting old enough that it's rational thinking: pre-AI/pre-Tahoe operating systems will be accompany me into death.
- lapcat 8mo agoBut you probably don't want to receive all and only beta updates either, which is what the beta channel will give you.
- olyjohn 8mo agoMight as well just rip off the band aid and learn to suck it up. Fixing Windows and MacOS with these fucking shitty hacks and doesn't work forever. You will be upgraded, like it or not, or be harassed the rest of your life to do so.
- ProllyInfamous 8mo agoJust use a PiHole to block Apple, entirely. (\.|^)apple\.com$ LittleSnitch is not enough for such a systemwide block.
- notpushkin 8mo ago> Run the script as described in the project's Read Me I don’t think this warrants a whole installer script – if you replace UUIDs by hand, you can as well read through the .mobileconfig file and make sure you understand what the profile does, then double click it to install :) Note that you might also want to remove some other entries from the profile, as, from a glance, those might still delay minor updates by 30 days. (Or does `forceDelayedSoftwareUpdates=false` make these harmless?)
- silvestrov 8mo agoNote that step 3 is not needed anymore (replacing UUID by hand) as the script automatically was updated 2 months ago to do that automatically.
- lupinglade 8mo agoApple has been going down hill at an exponential rate since the loss of Steve (and subsequently just about all real engineers at Apple). Swift is turning into a mess and SwiftUI is complete, utter garbage. Tahoe’s UI is unbearable. The problem is there is no real alternative - Linux is the closest thing (but has its issues).
- hedora 8mo agoI’ve got two linux desktops and a mac. Combined, the linux desktops hit issues far less often than the mac. The Linux desktop environment I use (LXDE) is not perfect, but it hits fewer issues than Mac OS. For instance, my Linux box doesn’t try to melt due to finder reindexing, and alt-tab works. Also, I don’t have to position the mouse cursor outside the window to resize (that bug predates tahoe, fwiw). I haven’t had any system services or local IPC crap wedge on Linux like they do on MacOS (I have seen systemd wedge those sorts of things, so I don’t use it). The integration with iMessage, Notes, Photos and phone calls are clear wins for the mac, but that’s about it. Some people would say you need nvidia+linux for local inference, but, in practice, AMD iGPU and Apple Silicon both work well (and you can get 32GB of unified ram for much less than a 32GB video card), and the ecosystems are fine. So, I’d call that a tie for anything that can reasonably be called a personal computer or workstation. Some people would argue Linux wins. If you grab a copy of devuan and slap steam on top of it, then it’ll be able to run far more commercial and open source games than MacOS. As a daily driver, Linux on a modern vanilla SoC box comes with far less day-to-day hassle. (It’s getting the same level of “we actually tried this exact config” as MacOS does.) Anyway, I wouldn’t really claim Linux has “issues” vs macos at this point.
- sunaookami 8mo agoStill on Sonoma, don't plan to upgrade, I'm sick of upgrades that break everything or change the UI for the worse. Does anyone know how to block the "there is a new version" popup for Pages etc?
- ProllyInfamous 8mo agoThis is my favorite PiHole rule (DNS blacklist): (\.|^)apple\.com$ One can then manually install OS updates, directly from Apple, via <https://mrmacintosh.com/how-to-download-macos-catalina-mojave-or-high-sierra-full-installers/ https://mrmacintosh.com/how-to-download-macos-catalina-mojav...> directlinks (should one choose to).
- warpspin 8mo agoThere were times when we couldn't await to upgrade to the next Mac OS version. Tahoe is not one of those versions. Already iOS 26 made me consider switching to Android, and now I've pondered returning to Linux after 26 years on Mac OS. Bizarrely, right now it's the quality of the hardware alone holding me at Mac OS. Wouldn't have expected that 6 or 7 years ago. Sick of the forced UI refreshes and "modern" designs. Will Apple understand again this is where I work and basically live in and not some kind of entertainment system where I need design refreshes so it feels all shiny and new?
- sgt 8mo agoI just don't get the resistance to Tahoe, and I speak as a macOS power user through a couple decades. Been on Tahoe now for a few weeks. The new rounded corners bug me a bit, but aside from that it's been rock stable. The trick with macOS is of course not to immediately upgrade. Give it a few weeks before you go to a new release. I've been through all the releases since Jaguar in 2003. There's been some ups and downs, and a lot of complaints, but I'd say it still remains the most rock solid UNIX™ desktop OS out there.
- troad 8mo agoI'm not a huge fan of Tahoe's aesthetics, but the response has been near hysterical. It's fine. Apple has done much worse (iOS 7 - present). I wish some of the anger being directed at rounded corners would be redirected at the rapidly accumulating list of long-standing bugs in macOS instead.
- skort 8mo ago> but I'd say it still remains the most rock solid UNIX™ desktop OS out there That doesn't mean that they aren't still constantly making it worse. Apple themselves note that most of the new features in the OS are "design" and "apple intelligence". I really don't care for these features, so I don't really care to upgrade. Even on the Tahoe page, they note many of the features as updates to individual apps themselves, so why can't they just release those as individual app updates? I'd rather have a solid OS with a UI that isn't re-imagined every other year with more focus on usability improvements and bug fixes. And as you note, it is one of the most solid UNIX™ desktop OS'. So when Apple puts out a major update that I think is going in the wrong direction, how else should I signal my distaste? I sent feedback. I posted on their customer forums (which are a terrible place for discussion btw). Now I just want to not update, but they use dark patterns to try to force it on me. So I'm going to be more annoying and vocal about it because I think they can and should do better.
- gib444 8mo agoAlso need a solution for Numbers nagging me in the app to upgrade (popup blocking my work). So annoying. I don't want the Numbers-with-AI/premium-upsell-crap edition Anyone in London want to buy a 32GB M4 MBA at a big discount (got some cosmetic damage)...?
- mberning 8mo agoThe constant, exhausting, and frankly pointless changes to macos is really driving me back to rolling my own desktop on freebsd or linux. At least under that environment nothing changes unless I change it.
- Fethbita 8mo agoThe biggest annoyance for me is the removal of Firewire support with Tahoe. That’s why I keep Sequoia for the time being. I’ll probably create a new APFS volume and dual boot with Sequoia for the foreseeable future for Firewire support.
- delecti 8mo agoWhat mac hardware still has Firewire ports? My exposure to their hardware is mostly limited to the Macbooks of coworkers and family members, but I didn't realize there was any overlap between Tahoe support (seems to only go back to hardware released around 2020) and Firewire ports (seems to only go forward to hardware released around 2012).
- Fethbita 8mo agoThunderbolt port still supports Firewire, so if you have the correct adapters, you can connect your old Firewire camcorder to digitize cassettes, but with Tahoe, Apple removed the Firewire drivers so they no longer work. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44504994 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44504994
