It's been mentioned a few other places in the comments here, but I recommend PICO-8 for beginning game developers. It's a really well-designed fantasy console, so it feels like you're actually developing for specific hardware

The same could be said about pretty much _any_ software.

I started rewatching For All Mankind a week or so before the Artemis II launch, so it's been pretty wild to watch an alt-history about people going to and settling on the Moon and Mars, and then to see real life people just starting to

I had the same issue. I figured it out before I'd have commented similarly, but I completely understand where the confusion came from and I don't attribute it to your reading skills.

Ah, yeah, Show HN is for things you made. Interesting links such as the one you shared are just shared without any special prefix. From the HN FAQ: > What are Ask HN and Show HN? > Ask HN lists questions and other text submissions. Sh

That's still far more reliable than trying to email someone who doesn't have a computer or smartphone.

It may or may not be anyone of scale (I haven't been keeping track of the seller names), but there sure are a LOT of sellers who do that. Practically every search result I've looked for on Amazon in the past few years is flooded w

That's really awesome! One feature request though: Can you make it so mousing over (or clicking on) an acronym tells you what it means? There are so many acronyms, it's hard for a layperson like myself to understand much of it.

When I'm using my macbook's screen, I usually expand a browser window to fill the whole screen -- it's a 13" screen so not using the whole thing makes things feel small. But most of the time my computer is plugged into a

Is Ruby really the speed bottleneck in Homebrew? I would assume it would be due to file operations (and download operations), not choice of programming language.

I wish we had metrics for claims like this. I feel like it's been a very common thing to see in blog posts written by humans, not AIs, over the last two decades.

Parentheses in headings is a telltale AI sign now? I feel like this has been a common way for normal humans to write for ages.

"Permanent" as used in the article was merely in contrast to the concept of "going to get rolled back soon", not a true declaration of forever.

Maybe I'm getting worse at recognizing it, but I didn't notice anything that made me think it was AI-authored. What were the telltale signs you noticed?

It can be inferred the use of "we" was as a quote. The bigger issue is that they did not clearly indicate that they were quoting.

Isn't it already like that, more or less, but the length of time it takes is longer than any software has so far existed?

You're too high by a power of 10.

I think you'd find quite a difference between 386,2 g and 3862 g, especially when wearing it on your head.

Ah. Given the context, I had assumed it relied more on hammerspoon and less on applescript. I'm a bit less excited about it than I was, but I'll still look into doing similar sometime since I'm a habitual tab-opener.

Perhaps we're making different assumptions, but a process that "is not beyond what a person of average intelligence and modest computer skills could pull off with some patience and a video guide" sounds quite a bit more compl

MacOS does more than just give you a warning when you're opening a program not vetted by them -- it prevents you from opening it, so that's not really a good example of education, and is in fact an example of lockdown. I'm no

How much does that matter for party balloons, though? It's still buoyant.

All value is relative, so everything else getting more expensive is essentially the same as macs getting cheaper.

Same here. I've never had a machine feel so great for so long before!

Is the computer in question really "more than capable" if it "can't play the games [you] want to play"? I've used geforce now on my mac before and didn't have latency issues. I wasn't using it for any

Might still be worth it considering Mouser (the electronics supplier) is already a (pretty big) thing.

I think there are a number of reasons why Apple specifically hasn't done this. In addition to what others have already mentioned (demand, segmentation, profitability, etc), another factor would probably be difficulty with the overall d
