It isn't, there's just a lot people out there who don't like women, don't like women with power, don't like women with power over men, don't like women using their sexuality to get power/money, and really

Disney is at risk of becoming irrelevant? And people are upvoting this take? As if all the Disney Adults in the world are just going to snap out of it. As if all the children who love Disney stuff currently are going to grow out of it. In w

I wrote this up after spending the past few weeks diving into open source LLM powered chatbots, because there is a lot of confusion out there about how to get started and no clear definitive guide on what to do. Hope it helps someone or is

I recently built an iOS app that is fully stand-alone. No internet connection needed. It helps you build choose your own adventure books, and when you're done it exports a text file with your book formatted as JSON, so others can impor

It's nice to see their marketing is sex-positive at a time when it seems like the mainstream Internet is becoming more and more prudish.

I got rejected by iOS App Review today for "spam - too similar to existing apps in the App Store" but figured I'd show HN the app since I think it's pretty nice and several kids have stumbled on the TestFlight beta over

Apple Books also syncs position in your own epubs, unlike my new Kobo Sage which’ll only sync reading position in books you’ve bought from Kobo. I still love my Kobo Sage and feel like managing my library with Calibre is better than Apple B

What's impressive about this conversation? I don't feel like it is very complicated at face value. You're telling to program to start pulling facts from the life of a public figure, and then it does so. You can get the same o

Is there a reason people don’t self-host on a small home server? $85/mo is a lot of money if you aren’t making any money off what you’re hosting. If you mostly run CRUD APIs and sites, is there any downside to a low bandwidth home conn

So... what are you saying? Apple shouldn't be allowed to improve the software for their own products? There should be a law that prevents Apple from building a keyboard for Apple Watch and consumers have to buy a third party keyboard m
