Just a heads up (from articles and comments on other HN threads)-- Roku wants a cut of revenue from apps too. It is not in Amazon's incentive to limit distribution of Twitch. This may be why it is no longer on Roku.

Heads up for privacy minded people in the Apple ecosystem... if you buy a HomeKit thermostat (or generally any HomeKit compatible device), you can usually set it up without the vendors app, or making an account, or accepting the ToS or Priv

While I absolutely loathe dark patterns, I just wanted to share one thought. They may have to "add" you to their insurance plan or carrier before renting you the car. That infuriating service fee might actually be personalized for

We need Dang as a Guido style BDFL[1]. At least until the community has grown to fully take on and continue the culture. (Which I am assuming why Guido felt he could step down) Hope they are taking great care of you at YC! 1. For those unaw

Just an FYI, you can definitely do this when using CarPlay and Apple Maps. There is a set list of categories you can search while currently navigating. I wish you could make an arbitrary on route search, but you can't.

Just to clarify. The Apple TV (tvOS) interface gives extra functionality to apps on the top row of the launcher. (you have full control over ordering the apps). This functionality allows the apps to show whatever preview content they want p

Sorry, I mean my x86 machine has improved in performance with the upgrade to Big Sur. The M1 MBA (16gb RAM) feels snappier and more responsive in almost every way to my Mac Mini w/64gb of RAM. RAM usage is also noticeably lower on the

The problem with disabling the Touch Bar is that it becomes difficult to adjust volume, brightness, and other things that were once easily accessible and addressable by muscle memory. Personally, I have encouraged those affected to return t

My apologies. That may have changed with SIP. A _fully optional_ feature that is great for security, and can be turned off if its too prescriptive. A little disappointed to see the apple hate on this thread, especially as I spent the mornin

Wow. Phabricator has really evolved since the last time I looked at it. I will consider it for my next team. As per wine and dine: 1. I have never interacted with a human being from Atlassian ever. 2. I don't think this is as effective

JIRA Cloud generally feels slow. I was trying to defend the software tool itself.

Those all seem like valid points. Especially about $$. I am wondering if JIRA can't handle the equivalent of a monorepo, with one giant project. Was that the situation? Also, I don't intend to defend JIRA from a cost or infrastruc

In defense of Jira. It is a tool. Some people may say desktop linux is clunky and slow and difficult. But on linux, everything is up to the user. You can choose from at least 10 window managers, make your own from scratch, or fork and modif
