I think the on-time-ness might depend on the route. I've done the NYC<->Boston trip a lot and it's on time within a couple minutes about 75-80% of the time and on time within 10-20 minutes most of the rest of the time. I&#x2

Reminds me of the Ming Mecca modules by Special Stage Systems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63ay74S34XI Similar idea, but I think the MM was a bit less focused on emulation and more on interesting control. Also it was a

Look at the Product Tour part of the page. Zero mention of a display = no display.

> If you cover the light then the camera functionality is disabled. Is this confirmed yet? The website just says "If the LED is covered, you’ll be notified to clear it." Note that it does not say the camera won't work.

I agree. I think the fact that people had a choice _not to_ use an implement is just as important as the fact that they had a choice _to_ use an implement. Also important: _how_ the implement was used. When I read about this performance, it

I'm so glad someone's working on this! Text editing on mobile has never been an invisible problem to me. I usually think Apple really nails good UI and UX, but text editing on an iPhone has never been good. (As the article mention

It'll be even worse, because most non-shit apps will stick with Apple's store, so the third party stores will (for the most part) _only_ have low quality apps.

Humans can indeed be taken apart piece by piece and put back together again. We just don't have that level of technology yet. There's nothing physically stopping it from happening though.

I'm thrilled this was posted, because now I've discovered a great blog to read. This level of writing about these topics are totally what I'm into. I opened most of the links in the post in new tabs, and now I've got a l

My guess is that it's just some immature gamer, not an actual developer. All gamers aren't immature, but there's always some immature base group of them doing absolutely stupid stuff.

Depending on what aspects of chiptunes you care about, the Polyend Tracker Mini ( https://polyend.com/tracker-mini/ ) might be right. It's less like a portable hardware version of Bintracker and more like a portable

Ah! I didn't even realize there was a PDF, or that this was an article from Math Horizons. You must be right. That also explains another thing that confused me: Every time the article mentioned a specific video, it could have easily li

I'm so confused by the typo in the very first word of the very first sentence. It appears they wrote "Qne" instead of "One". Is this some sort of OCR error and the source was scanned in? Or are there keyboard layout

I think HN is indeed special because it's noticeably less full of shit comments than many other forums. I might even go so far as to say shit comments typically make up a minority of the comments here instead of the majority. That said

Milk often comes in (large) bag form for cafeteria/restaurant style milk dispensers in the US, at least in the ones I've seen. Though I think those usually have a specific port on the bag that the dispenser pierces to get to it --

Speaking of e-ink devices, is there a more-open equivalent to the amazon/kindle ebook store? Some site you can use to legally purchase and download ebooks for non-kindle devices? Or can you do that via Amazon now?

Music is very important to me, I listen to a ton of it, and I build up quite a collection. But then I get rid of the collection periodically. I don't want permanence anymore. Tried it for decades, and I'm over it. There are drawba

The article talks about deleting things that no longer spark joy, so I believe the author's goal is a little different from your goal, which seems to be permanence. I think your solution also requires a more powerful server than the ar

You bring up a good point that covers why I'm most excited for the AVP: I'm really excited about what later versions will be like. This first AVP is kind of like the first iPhone for me. Obviously not perfect, but the UI will prob

In cases like this, I'm not sure whether a social media thread or blog post about the social thread is better. Neither is great.

I don't find it hard to ignore all the social and gamified aspects of Goodreads. I use it solely for keeping track of what I've read and want to read, and for finding similar books to ones I've liked. And nothing else. I&#x27

The article you linked to makes it sound like the future of .io is up to debate and not necessarily stable, IMO.
