Pretty sure this 'article' was written by an LLM, having scraped the HN discussion on here from 4 days ago. Nothing new there apart from a clickbait title and a ton of ads. Link to my comment, so that I don't repeat myself:

I wasn't talking about your general point though. Your comment opened with a statement and a question, and I was quoting the statement and directly answering the question you asked. > That's a different problem entirely and pre

Yeah, apart from there is more to supporting a product than just compiling a binary. Case in point, the HN post you're commenting on is a link to their support forum. Search for _anything_ there, and this the pinned article that appear

Nice post. For any linux folk who haven't tried something like this yet, keyd and wtype are what I settled on, having tried the kmonads, interceptiontools, xscapes, kanatas, etc. (though I've been meaning to try kanata out again n

Trying to read between the lines, here are my lazy sunday morning guesses at what might be going on here: 1. The Xilinx team are pushing back on the increasing number of things they have to support. Silver lining, maybe this means they&#x27

If we could just do something, anything about being so aggressively colonised by the Palantirs and the neoliberal think tanks and the Christian far-right money, and ISDS-littered trade agreements, then the rest would just follow. Sadly thou

FWIW my mum is still rocking my 2013 chromebook pixel. It is on all day, every day, and has been ever since I gave it to her a decade ago. I have repasted it three times now, it's been covered in sugary crap, dropped, trodden on by my

Thing is, Codex 5.3 is a better and more consistent model than anything Anthropic have come out with. It can deal with larger codebases, has compaction that works, and has much less of a tendency to resort to sycophantic hallucination as it

Sounds like you're referring to some specific examples of poorly implemented apps rather than the concept of SPAs as a whole. For your example, the point of that div soup is that enables behaviours like row/column drag&drop re
