Can you please use Obsidian to create a canvas showing the situation? ;-)

Screen time feels like a very weird concept. I mean, it feels very different if I read news, write code or watch a movie. Similarly, the screen size and the environment (busy street vs. silent room), changes a lot of the experience too. And

But isn't this a great thing? I mean, this piece has been missing (no, I am not kidding). Computers have always had a hard time coping with situations that weren't 100% predefined. Now, we have technology capable of handling cases

But what value does an HTML form alone have? Compared to the old offline version, you have more trouble authenticating before filling it out (which isn't worth anything because you have to sign it anyway...).

In Germany, a government service is considered digital when there is an online form where you can enter the data. Afterward, it doesn't matter if you must print it out and send it via postal services (no kidding); all that is required

While I agree with you on the design term, there is this fundamental conflict: unlike other design forms, software is an additive process. With wood or stone, you can work subtractively until there is nothing left to take away, but with sof

So, you mean, similarly to how ad targeting works today, companies will optimize voices so that individuals respond accordingly to their targets?

While I agree with the first two, the third is a problem. Yes, you can always extend your program, but should you? The more code and functionality you include, the harder it becomes to maintain. Finding the point where your software is so r

15 years ago, one would have said google.com But I think asking for a UI toolkit/framework is more helpful. Otherwise, you optimize for straightforward use cases, like entering a search box.

I am not convinced that it will be even 5 years. Have you tested elevenlabs[1]? They offer different voice cloning techniques today, starting from 30 seconds of audio input (sounds somewhat like the cloned voice but definitely not exactly t

I have not checked all cities, but Berlin seems to be a strong contender for HN's capital. Do any cities have more hackers?

> pre-meetings for the pre-meetings for the decision meetings This is not a structural problem but a cultural one. Sure, you can address it by changing the org structure, but 15% fewer pre-meetings to pre-meetings sounds like a drop in t

Well, Plasma 6 made it the default. Some things are better with Wayland (e.g., performance), but others are worse (e.g., no session restore so far...). What bothers me is that I have the impression that when I switched from X11 to Wayland a

I wonder how many websites declare the Google Tag Manager a technical necessity (as part of the consent layers). In my world, it is a tool to manage different tracking and ad tools, far from being technically necessary to host a website.

I am firmly against the suggested changes. I love grepping through code too (often using -A -B -C), but I also like browsing the code, with tools where you can just click on a function and see its definition. However, changing how the code

Yeah, it felt like a trick question to me. Because the second color I saw was somewhat like turquoise and the site is called 'Is My Blue Your Blue,' I decided that everything that you say yes to colors would be blue and everything

I wondered why a custom kernel came so late. If you want to optimize, wouldn't you start with LFS or some source-based distribution? Autonomous software updates don't seem to be a necessity anyway on such a device. In addition, I

Many compare it to furniture made out of solid wood (how everything was before IKEA). Those things are of much higher quality (they could easily be used over decades, sometimes over centuries); compared to them, IKEA stuff is cheap (in pric

What I find great about the Hetzner Cloud is that you don't need a dictionary to understand which product does a specific job. With AWS, I found it much harder to take the first steps because of the names being used.

I know pipes primarily from shell scripts. Are they being used in other contexts as extensively, too? Like C or Rust programs?

Nextcloud Talk is another option, but you probably need the Golang High-Performance backend [1] for more than three people simultaneously. [1] https://github.com/strukturag/nextcloud-spreed-signaling

An aspect often overlooked is that the tech giants have an enormous advantage because they have harvested information for decades. In addition, highly targeted advertising creates all kinds of troubles for democracy when done on a scale lik

Yes and no. Shell scripting is incredibly powerful and omnipresent. So you want to know the basics about pipes, loops and the like. But the language itself is broken by design (error handling is a mess; whitespaces create headaches daily; s
