   Nominally left-leaning news organisation getting hardly any impressions on a far-right extremist social network? I wonder why.

   I should maybe have mentioned, I'm the founder, CTO and debit card holder of my business.

   Same, I replaced mine with a Suri a few months ago because while brushing my teeth I can't help thinking about the amount of plastic waste Oral B and regular toothbrushes produce. I love the Suri - https://www.trysuri.com

   I may or may not be the target audience, but it may help you to know a "book demo" link instead of a pricing page in the primary nav is a good heuristic shortcut for me to decide I'm not the target audience.

   Now imagine being the designated driver on a night out and all your drunk friends shouting commands at the car while you're trying to drive. "Rivian, turn the headlights off!".

   I think that machine is this M1 Pro MBP I'm using right now, and will probably still be using in 20 years.

   I'd actually like to see that happen I think. For my use cases Sketch is infinitely better than Figma. Figma is an abomination of an app.

    I recently started using devbox over homebrew for package installs on my Mac and this has gotten me more interested in nix - however, neither of the VPS providers we use offer NixOS as an OS option, is there a way to achieve that declarativ

    If all you know is VS Code it probably feels fine and you should definitely not try Zed - "one of the fastest Electron apps" isn't exactly a ringing endorsement.

    I switch between Sublime and Zed all day depending on what task I'm doing, some things it's still not quite as good at as Sublime. The Ruff integration is excellent though, and the good news there is that apparently they're w

    We're poetry here too, but pyenv I always had problems with so switched to ASDF which has been rock sold. I tried uv a while back and it was stupidly fast, just need to find the time to switch a ton of projects over.

    I also have an M1 Pro MBP and mostly feel the same. The most tempting thing about the new ones is the space black option. Prior to the M1, I was getting a new laptop every year or two and there was always something wrong with them - butte

    I just checked out backmarket as I've been shopping for a mini PC with oculink and hadn't thought of them. They have a primary nav across the top of the site which has 5 generic categories (laptops, consoles etc.), one Google prod

    As someone who's hardware knowledge extends to "my Mac is fast enough at most things I do", could someone tell me if this would run Stable Diffusion / ComfyUI generations faster than say, a Mac Studio (ignoring all the C

    I tried it yesterday after a commenter on HN mentioned it, I'm not a front end dev but I still hate how slow and seemingly fragile webpack is. I dropped rspack into a couple of projects and instantly got a 3x speedup with identical o

    Side note in case the submitter is the site maintainer - I have Google TagManager blocked via NextDNS and this page is a lot of white text on almost white background. Edit: and the videos don't work in Firefox.

    Back in the day there was no better resource than the Apple Human Interface Guidelines. I've not read it in years but the design of the OS on my Mac makes me suspect it's either no longer such a rich vein, or no longer exists at a

    I can't remember the last time I disagreed with a HN post as much as this one. The reason the "tax the rich" debate has become such a hot topic is down to the fact that governments are currently not doing so, and they'
