How do you know the person you are replying to is applying it selectively?

For a lot of people the main advantage of electron was just being able to use the webdev stack for a desktop app. Tauri makes it less portable but is less bloated. Different tradeofs I guess. Also: I think it’s kinda funny that Tauri is bas

I meant the opposite: with only a small mouse movement you can fling a knob wildly, which is great if you want to do a quick transition on eg a high pass filter or a low pass filter

I meant that in the context of a digital ui, knobs are great because theyre a way to fit a finely-adjustable slider in a small area. In the physical world there’s obviously lots of alternatives

What do you not like about LSPs? When you do eg refactoring isn't it nice to do operations on something that actually reflects the structure of your code?

The point of knobs is that you can fit a ton of sliders in a limited space, and that you can wildly adjust them with very little movement. Both are requirments for a lot of music software. What would the alternative be?

If you take that at face value, shouldn't every investor just back Google or Apple instead? Like, OpenAI is, at best, months ahead when it comes to model quality. But for them to get integrated into the lives of people in the way all t

Dumb question, but is there a way to use WebGL for a desktop app without doing Electron stuff?

Well done, and thx!

Also by this guy: Futurefonts.com Lots of great cheap in-progress fonts with documentation of the process of creating them.

This is kind of a seminal resource for a lot of new type-designers. This appearing on hn only for everyone to moan about how the mobile site is lacking kinda makes me feel like I should spend less time on here

It being unfair might dissuade people from using it, that would kinda compromise the goal of helping markets reflect reality

Why is construction cheaper than it ever will be? Because wages are rising in China?

Right, that was my assumption. I asked because the person I replied to mentioned the popularity of dynamic languages as a data-point for the decline in popularity of functional programming.

I know powerful typing features are very important for Haskell in particular, but is static typing considered a functional feature more broadly? Most lisps don't have static typing as far as I know. Clojure was one of the main function

The thing that sorta gets me about Duolingo: If it became mainstream for everyone to do what is essentially 5 minutes of anki every day (which is kinda the Duolingo pitch), language learning would be kind of a bad candidate. If you spend 2

I know I'm preaching to the choir here but I'm really surprised by how bad the UX is in many of the NYT games. Manipulating the dominoes in Pips just feels awkward and buggy. And I know making games is difficult, but 1. games are

What would the implications of solving NS actually be? Would we get much more accurate weather predictions?

by Fraterkes 1y ago
I think it's a pedantic point, but maybe they just meant that talking about 1 being multitudes greater than 0 implies multiplication. And since 1/0 is undefined that doesn't make much sense.

Why can’t you just say what you mean? Are you embarrassed?

Can you make this a bit clearer for me? Quantify it? How much hardship should someone endure to make up for voting for Hamas? Losing a home? A limb? A friend? A child?

You'd be a useful guy to have around on my trad farm. A strawman for every field

Even if you think there's no qualitative difference between the 2 (which I think is a deeply immature idea, but whatever), there's an obvious quantitative difference: In practice democratic voting power is much more socioeconomica

Right, but both ADHD and Autism don't have clear neuromarkers, we diagnose people largely based on their symptoms (or the results of their symptoms). The stuff you describe (being bored by regular people, your place being a complete me

I understand what behaviours are, but "having troublesome behaviours" implies something kinda systemic right? Something that someone does habitually (otherwise you probably wouldn't seek out medication for it). What is it tha

I mean, sickle cell is arguably a "natural genetic variation" but we very much treat it like a disease.

What is the qualitative difference between "having some troublesome behaviors" and "having an inherently disordered brain" in your opinion?

I think it’s a cool idea, but for there to be no crease the 0 bezel sides would have to have incredibly sharp edges. Seems like a real cutting hazard when the phone isn’t folded out (especially if the screens are still glass instead of plas
