I bought a Sceptre because of another HN thread like this a couple of years ago and have been very happy with it. It's not as good looking as an 8K OLED, but it displays games and movies very satisfactorily, and best of all it's j

If I didn't know better, I would not have guessed that the male voice was computer generated. The inflection sounds just like someone reading the book. I used to use the Kindle's text to speech feature before they removed the spea

I agree about the record and tuple syntax, but that's actually a JavaScript TC39 proposal, not TypeScript. We already have # for private, and now they're adding the same symbol for different semantics, oof.

When I last was looking at signing up, one of the top recommended servers was for furries. Maybe grandma discovers something about herself very late in life, but mostly likely that's going to be a hard bounce.

Photopea is a surprisingly comprehensive free photoshop clone that runs in the browser. I've used Photoshop for more than two decades, but these days I only use it a couple of times a month, so learning these new tools and their comple

I don't mind so much, I remember multi-hundred (or more) version upgrades, so it's better in some ways. I was just thinking about how I wish I had some way to manage all subscriptions in one place, it's so hard to keep track

Anecdotal, but my M1 Max seems to drain battery very slowly with my daily development with all kinds of things running. Firefox, Brave, Slack, VSCode, Mail, docker containers, etc. It's pretty amazing how long they last. The other d

How much better is the resolution for the Quest Pro for working? I spent a a few days working in a Quest 2, and even with resolution problems, it's an incredible and productive experience. I miss it when I'm not doing it, but the

I only knew 13 of 54 (24%) which is a huge surprise, I've been writing CSS for 26 years. I guess I have fallen further behind on modern CSS than I thought. Seems like there's some other cool stuff to learn!

I've been using Obsidian for a while and have some plug-ins, but nothing like you're talking about. Would you make some specific recommendations on the plug-ins you're referring to?

Even non-technical users understand the difference between a blue and a green message on iPhone. There's no reason they could not have made a clear visual distinction with icons or messages or something.

I used Photoshop for 20 years and really tried to switch to Affinity, but holy cow it's so extremely different. I tried finding a good "Affinity for Photoshop Users" resource and wasn't ever able to before giving up on i

I've been using Cronometer for years and love it. The data from real databases is way better than MyFitnessPal, which contains a lot of user-entered garbage. Plus, almost everything can be entered in grams or other sane units of measu

I've had this happen a few times, but I was able to resolve them all except one cadre. Stitch Fix shut down my account abruptly, informing me of "security concerns" and disabled my account without any recourse after I'd

Who else do you use? Fivetran's syncing has been very reliable (compared to others we tried) but the "active row" based pricing is unpredictable and can have huge spikes in billing costs. I've been waiting for reliable c

This used to be the case, but once Ruby stopped being the hot language, the examples of "just because you can doesn't mean you should" went to JS. Rake and RSpec format are the only two DSLs that get any major use anymore, an

There's an npm package "narn" that uses commands akin to yarn's but will automatically use whatever package manager the current folder(/parent) is using. I almost never type npm or yarn or pnpm, just narn everywhere
