I think we’ve been lulled into some false sense of expectation that the web exists as a place for “open source code” to be run. As if the fact that you can view the source of any page is any purveyor of that. If that’s your definition of tr

Have you tried Copilot? It writes my unit tests 80% of the way. It’s the main reason I pay for it (I hate writing tests).

I’ll disagree on that. An extra 10ms is not perceptible in 99% (99.9%?) of cases. Consider that a good gaming monitor has input lag of ~3ms, a TV in game mode has input lag of ~12ms, and in regular mode the input lag is >100ms. I would a

> But javascript bridge is slower than swift How much slower are we talking? 20ms vs 9ms? I feel like we developers prematurely optimize critical paths without taking the actual timeliness of the objective into account.

I don’t understand the dot in “.beats”. How is that pronounced? “Dot-beats”? And it really makes it awkward to add in an English sentence, especially if you use it at the start. .beats could just be “beats”.

OTOH, I'm desperate for a tool that's "like Notion, but better", where my primary definition of "better" is that it's not slow/bloated. If this is lightweight AND has these cool data modelling feature

I used to joke with a friend when they asked why I didn't upgrade my graphics card (a 9800 GT), that it was at least 9 times better than their 1080 Ti.

I honestly think you should focus on shipping perfect rather than shipping “fast”. The world has enough quantity; let’s focus on quality.

The way that I like to view it is this: if I put my laptop in a vault for 15 years and then open it back up, can I use the software? Of course, I’ll be on a 15 year old OS but the answer appears to be “yes”. Not the case with Figma or other

I worked for a local farmer in high school. One of the novelties he grew in small quantities were “square” watermelons[0]. When grown in a square fibreglass enclosure, the melons would conform to the cube shape. I wonder if a pumpkin could

I think remote buttons are passed through CEC. For example, I can use my TV’s remote to open the menu and change settings, but when the menu is closed I can also use it to navigate my Fire Stick UI.

I recently received a phone call from Dexcom, since they make a continuous glucose monitor that I wear. The call was to warn me not to upgrade to iOS 16 as their app would immediately crash and I wouldn’t be able to view my blood sugar. I w

In a way, I’m kinda fine with this. There a lot of things that make a car feel faster, and giving them higher displacement engines and louder exhausts has more disadvantages than it’s worth for most people. You can get the same experience

Heh. I went to a sushi restaurant recently and sat down to an iPad menu. After ordering a few rolls and confirming the order, it was delivered by a robot[0]. After finishing the plates, I returned them to the robot which carried them away.

Cool, so it looks like they take the “raw” GPS location (after the GPS module does processing to spit out a lat/long) and applies statistical methods with a model of the actual 3D geometry. Seems like a smart way to improve the accurac

Cool! A couple suggestions: 1 - the CSS is all over the place on mobile, it looks pretty bad. 2 - maybe adjust the pricing of the bulk a bit. I assume you want to sell the bulk packs more, so incentivize them more. Instead of $74 for 1 &#x2

There’s no such thing as manufacturers assigning colliding UUIDs. If that happens, then they’re just assigning “ID”s.

I was really hoping the article would have explained a bit about PAM. Any high school English teacher can Google instructions for enabling sudo with Touch ID, but I’ve come to expect HN posts to have a higher pedigree.
