Material design a disaster in terms of UI and UX. - Flat UI - Lots of wasted space - No clear distinction between element types - Bland, lacking of color.

What do you think your screen is doing all the time? You can't blit to the screen once and then "freeze" it. Your computer/phone is blitting pixels all the time.

I tried Qt but the result was the furthest thing from satisfactory. My advice: don't bother.

I can't name a single job I've taken that was not a bullshit job. Ironically the better it pays, the more bullshit it is. I made some good money on these jobs, but I always hated them. I can't think of a single product I work

This also applies to startups. At least recently. Many startups (specially in the finance market) try to hire and grow like crazy, because it drives investment (or at least so they think).

I thought by now enough people have framework fatigue that no one bothers with yet another way to develop a website. Is there a reason someone like me should care? Does it improve anything by atleast an order of magnitude?

The basic premise of this article seems to be "writing good programs without heavy runtime checks is physically impossible". I'd like to ask the author, how does he think his computer works? The hardware is rather complex and

I never heard of it, but having taken a look it just seems like a GUI variant of Hugo. Which is nice and all, but nowhere near what I'm talking about. Generating static sites is popular specifically because the root problem is not so

The command line is half the problem. The solution should not require command line chops. Should just be a GUI.

As others have pointed out, there's currently no solution that allows common people to self host. There's a minimum level of linux/sysadmin/devops expertise requried to setup and maintain a self hosted website. I've

My impression is the general public is far more conservative on the UI than the average HN user. Only hip designers think coming up with new UI design ideas every year is a good idea.

If you're going to mandate something, instead of mandating masks (and yearly vaccination) why not mandate weight loss instead?

The proper way is to educate people on losing weight. Obesity is probably the #1 cause for covid fatalities. In the past 2 years, everyone who is obese could have lost weight and come within or very close to the normal range.

You can't force this top down. It has to come bottom up. Famously alcohol ban didn't work in America. Famously the left argues that laws against drugs don't work. Famously the left says that if you ban abortion it will just g

The parents and grandparents should just get vaccinated. The virus will never go away. There's no reason to live in perpetual fear. Masks may work, but mask mandates don't work. You can't force people to do something they don

There's an argument to be made in general (which I don't think applies here - but playing devil's advocate) that says: When technology makes previous difficult things easy, this technology will be used to do more things that

How hard do you think it would be to shift the day of the week? It's just a + and a % operation. How does this justify installing a 500kb javascript dependency? Saying this is "not that simple" is just you mentally deciding t

In one project at a previous company, it took three people more than a week to try to get a third party date picker to work with the application. The funny thing is all the time was spent in writing glue code and debugging that glue code. W

1) I question this premise. People who revolutionize a field don't do this with feedback from the public. They do it by having a very unique perspective that they bring into being by sheer force of will - usually against great pushback

I believe the point of the original comment is to make AI that comes up with its own original style, not one that "reinvents" an already existing style after first being trained on a different already existing style.

I believe Richard Feynman has mentioned in interviews that he learned calculus from "Calculus Made Easy". IIRC there might have been other books in a "Made Easy" series about math, but I'm not sure.

Exactly. It's also easy to demonstrate that if it changes we just change the code, duh!! Simple concrete code is far easier to change.

As far as I can tell, the design of the human body takes as a given that a lot of time will be spent without consuming food, perhaps for days at a time. So, some mechanisms are designed to kick in when you're eating food, and some othe

Why would the body shed water instead of tapping into stored fat when there's no external energy coming it? This is delusional.
