   I agree to some extent. I think in general they're good principles, but I think people tend to take them as gospel and forget about code readability and complexity in order to adhere to them. It's important to understand the trade

   One time I emailed him asking if he'd record a personalised wedding message to my friends, and he did!

   I feel like "BlurHash" is a misleading name, since it's not a hash of the image data that gets created, it's just highly compressed to just some data about the colours used. Unless I'm misunderstanding something?

   Do these phones run WhatsApp? I feel like that would be extremely important for KaiOS to have any meaningful success with its target market.

   I'm ok with the fact that it's not real wasabi but how is this legal? Isn't this blatant false advertising? (Sorry if they address this in the video but tl;dw)

    How is no-one linking to any sources in this thread? Seriously, it's easy to be misinformed on this topic, mostly because the truth is hidden and because people make all sorts of claims without any evidence. Enough with the FUD

    In general I think it's good to be in touch with communities centred around your language and framework to get a good idea of how people are solving similar problems to yours. Things change so much over the years and there are multiple

    Was hoping a foldable phone would result in a smaller phone, not a larger one. Sigh...

    That does feel like the obvious solution but no doubt they couldn't mention that in an article published on a website where they make most of their money through ads

    ABC News? Probably one of the most reputable news sources in Australia. It's also funded and owned by the government and has no ads so I doubt it's paid advertising.

    I recently bought an iPhone SE and you've articulated why I bought it far better than I could. Well done! I know a simple upvote would suffice but just wanted to tell you that, on my iPhone SE, of course :)

    I can't speak for all HNers but I recently bought a 128gb iPhone SE from someone on Gumtree after having used Android phones for 5 years (I'm an Android developer). I could not find any modern 4" phones. I really like being a

    Yes, exactly! I think people follow the principle blindly and try and pull out code that happens to be the same in two places. But if you anticipate that they might change in the future it's sort of a meaningless abstraction that doesn
