What tools do you use for your workflow? Is there a write up that you have done on it (or you have followed)?

A tangential point. I didn’t go through this article in detail, but I loved the illustrations so much that I ended up looking at a few other articles by her (Maggie Appleton). As someone who fails at Pictionary with very crude drawings, the

I had to look around for the walkthrough video and later realized that tapping on the icon on the top left launches it. There was no indication or clue for me on mobile that the icon was a link to a video.

My experience with 16:8 IF has been almost similar. I skip breakfast too, and found that to be the easiest to follow with a black coffee (very light by normal standards). I can’t tell either if it works to provide any claimed benefits. But

> How do you start? Agatston told me to start by skipping one meal a day, usually breakfast. (Yes, you can have black coffee in the morning, into which he adds ghee, a type of clarified butter, and coconut oil to reduce hunger pangs. It’

Windows Explorer has been so slow that I actively avoid using it and use the command prompt instead. Even on an SSD, opening a folder sometimes takes several seconds while Explorer scans that folder with a progress bar on the address bar (a

The ribbon came in MS Office 2007 as a result of user studies that showed that menus weren’t effective in showing the users what was possible or what features were available in an application. That’s why this new UI (“Fluent UI”) was design

Hoping to see such a list for Android too. I don’t see one right now. [1] Some kind of comparison between iOS and Android on the kinds of issues and underlying causes would also be interesting. [1]: https://duckduckgo.com/?q

Hope you also tell people who use Android about the dismal state of updates (actually the lack of it) from most manufacturers and how most new phones come with older versions with security vulnerabilities not patched on that device (and pro

It used to be that "Apple should buy Netflix" for several years, on and off. Now this. Analysts have always misunderstood Apple, what it focuses on and what it will not do. They come up with meaningless recommendations that Apple

If you’re on GitHub, raise an issue about this and point them to “Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names” [1]. They could use at least some lessons from it. [1]: https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falseh

Actually, you cannot seriously separate the algorithm from the man. The algorithm is a reflection of Mark Zuckerberg. Anyone who argues otherwise ignores years of widely known precedents of how Mark Zuckerberg (along with a few others) drov

The latter would create a bubble of some people’s submissions flooding the site over time and not allowing others’ submissions to come to the front page. The ranking is affected to a good extent by when a post is submitted because of the

Someone I respect once told me that Ghost is written for its developer’s needs and to promote the hosted platform, and not intended to be an easy to manage self hosted solution. I don’t know how far that’s true, but WordPress seems to be ah

Secret chats are tied to one single device, which may be ok for some people. The bigger disadvantage is that you cannot have group chats that are end to end encrypted. Only person to person chats are allowed as secret chats.

I think the GP’s point is that Firefox still uses Gecko and some parts of Servo, which is true. Servo is not a complete engine yet and it’s not fully merged into Firefox yet.

Weren’t the Firebug features absorbed into Firefox over time?

Safari 13 eliminated the previous extension scheme. So there’s no more uBlock Origin and similar blockers (there are content blockers, which work differently from uBlock Origin). Since the ad blocking extensions are lists of content to be b

GP here. It’s no different from WhatsApp in this sense. But WhatsApp is even worse because it shares communication metadata with Facebook (though message content is end to end encrypted).

GP here. I agree. I believe there’s a stigma against Telegram. There was one security issue with the MProto version 1 several years ago, which was reported (given a bounty too, IIRC) and fixed. I don’t recall any other issue being reported

That was quite a long article. It could’ve been made much shorter and still conveyed the points. I was surprised that the author is ok with alcohol in moderation but seems to be against coffee (that’s the sense I got). The mention of older

On iOS, Signal has implemented a data transfer from one device to another directly. It's of no use if one loses one's device or just hands over the old device to someone else before completing the setup of the new one (people are

I don't think that's a great idea until Signal stops exposing the phone number of the user to everyone else (for all the bashing that Telegram gets on cryptography, it has mechanisms to hide one's phone number and even the fa

The biggest drawback with Signal for protesters is that it exposes the user's phone number to everyone else in groups (just like WhatsApp does). There is no way to even hide the fact that you have an account on Signal. I can add phone

They used indentation, which works badly for longer lines on mobile on HN. A better way would’ve been to just used bullets and newlines.
