Was reading the comments to see if anyone experienced just that. Youtube sometimes becomes absolutely unusable with Firefox. Google Flights too. Would hate to switch back to Chrome but I keep having to switch back and forth.

I think the game design angle is the best here. What he's gesturing at, to me, is the concept of difficulty as encountered in games. You have to play at the highest level of difficulty you can tolerate without getting frustrated. If it

Aligning fonts on a grid in the way you're suggesting is a common beginner mistake in typography. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overshoot_(typography)

That got me curious, and according to the French Wikipedia, he was originally called "Letiers" (with the same etymological explanation) before he renamed himself "Lethiers" and finally "Lethière". Seems to hold

So what you're saying is OpenAI can't align two teams internally but they want to align a super intelligence.

If he has to draw a picture in crayon, maybe he must think a little harder with that big head of his about how to say it properly in the first place so it doesn't require a second explanation? In this case, it's really hard to und

The trouble with that is that startup people naturally gravitate towards building things without having a clear idea of what they're trying to sell/what the benefits are. Building a landing page can sometimes be a useful prioritiz

The unspoken premise here is that profit correlates to value creation, so it may be more rational to allocate resources to people who can generate value regardless of the form it takes (that's kind of Friedman's idea if you dig a

Pretty sure HN is one of the worst places to talk about design on the internet because its population seems oddly averse to the concept, tends to deride it as the useless whimsy of decoration-obsessed simpletons, and in general has nothing

It's a balance. If you only read what you think you should read, you're exposed to "you don't know what you don't know"-effect. If all you do is read stuff (an albeit fun activity), you risk not doing much with

Haven't had the chance to play Disco Elysium yet, but Planescape Torment, Fallout 1 and 2 are definitely in my top 5 ever. I'm genuinely curious to see what kind of games the OP is thinking of (besides BG1/2, probably?).

I'd be curious to see what your top ~5 CRPGs that are better than BG3 would be.

It's something that's both a common B2B requirement because users keep asking for it ("I want to see all of my data at once"), and something functionally ~useless.

Pop-up windows that take focus over other running applications are a whole another ball game, dude. In-app popups are a pattern that may or may not be annoying, like most things used well or badly. This case seems pretty innocuous to me.

"I would rather not read this article than have to click a button" is an interesting level of entitlement. Hope you never had your fingers stained by the ink when reading the newspaper, you probably would have sued the New York Ti
