Am I the only one confused why an opinion piece criticizing the superfluous and distracting design choices of Tahoe has a continuous and uninterruptable snow animation that makes the entire thing harder to read?

Meh, CEOs response was bad, but I hate people with a burning passion when they express feelings like that about a product. Just stop using it and walk away and stop making it harder for other people to live. If you want to offer feedback th

The author states that in their experience, most downstream services are REST, so adding a GQL aggregation layer on top isn't very helpful. It seems possible they would have a different opinion if they were working with multiple servic

Is this relevant to the posted article? I don't see how the OP misrepresents anything about GQL.

My first dog taught me how to love animals, and that is a gift for which I'll forever be grateful.

My statement was intentionally under specified, and as usual my word choice was not great. My primary intention with the comment was to indicate that knowledge of investment alone is not very useful without surplus money. There is a narrat

I'm always bummed when I comment on HN and then scroll down and find another comment which said it better.

This feels like a severe anecdotal example which I'm not sure applies to most people.

Financial literacy is a gift, and absolutely omitted from standard education, which is unfortunate. That said, I don't think knowledge of investment gets you very far if your job pays subsistence wages. I worked for a popular fintech f

I'm not saying we ignore all other causes in sports analysis, I'm saying it doesn't make sense to pretend that there's no "one person" who hit the home run or scored a touchdown. Of course it's usually a t

I'll admit i didn't read all of either document, but I'm not convinced of the argument that one cannot attribute a failure to a root cause simply because the system is complex and required multiple points of failure to fail c

The nato phonetic alphabet is still useful even if the other party doesn't know it, I've used it a bunch of times on the phone to spell out my 10- letter last name. Saves quite a lot of time and energy for me vs saying "lette

Wouldn't it still be possible to empathize with a terminal patient by recalling experiences of powerlessness, fear, grief, anger, etc? I thought empathy was not limited to experiences you've literally had, but could be extended to

I don't really get it, maybe my phone is just old but I saw exactly 3 fonts on this page: serif, sans, and mono. None of the other fonts are available on my phone so each category looked identical. Is this experience better on other de

I hope they find what they are looking for. I'm pleased the author is taking action to address their own grievances with the state of the web. My personal strategy for dealing with this kind of angst is to just be online less, and find

Ok fair enough. I read her sentence as more of a figurative reflection on social attitudes towards grief, but if it's taken at face value then I see your point.

I would posit that you are reading this too literally. I didn't get the impression that the author was trying to rail against the medical establishment but rather to process her own experience in relation to professional guidance on th

I'm not sold on this example. If you're already preprocessing data for analysis purposes, why not just remove the ID altogether? I can't imagine a specific record ID being required for analytics

It's not very mobile friendly but on desktop it's a pleasure! The ability to generate waveforms feels pretty novel, well done.

These examples feel a bit contrived, are there any other cases where random CSS values would be useful? I don't often reach for randomness when doing business apps.

The UI is very nicely built, but I found the actual music making experience very unintuitive. I really didn't know how to build my own thing from scratch. I loaded the Funky Beat preset (indeed very funky once I got it playing!) and no

This is true, but when good human developers introduce bugs, at least their code adheres to a thoughtful software design that matches expectations. My experience with AI code is its much less likely to meet that criteria.

> in production traffic only very few (<1%) ads are actually clickbait That's a fascinating claim, and it does not align with my anecdotal experience using the web for many years.

I don't really understand your comment - people addressing issues specific to their language is unnatural or bad?

I guess it's a matter of perspective, I know 0.7% isn't the biggest item in the budget but it's a fairly large line item to my mind. Either way I still wonder what the "does not scale" comment meant. Edit: re-readin

Could you elaborate on "subsidies don't scale"? In the US, farm subsidies are a huge chunk of our budget and, to the best of my understanding, help keep food prices low. I'm not informed enough to know if it's an in
