Desaturation is for colour schemes what flat design was for UI. Nicer to look at than the previous trend, but somewhat less usable. I'll set my watch for the next iteration in about 18 months. Luckily for me, I only have a few more cyc

From near the end of the article: "Sometimes people find it a bit gross when we put the mulch back in plant pots, because it smells a bit woody" Are people really so detached from nature these days that the smell of wet wood puts

I've noticed the same with the search results from Brave. It started about 3 months ago and it's really frustrating. But apparently they don't use Bing. It's a strange coincidence.

I suppose there is some truth in that. But 8 year old me hardly knew the value of a dollar except how much sugar could be had in exchange. But that didn't stop me from spending every waking hour trying to get my Vic-20 to auto-generate

That's almost 10 years ago. Maybe they're all gainfully employed with their hard-won knowledge in programming? Albeit a tad prematurely...

If I had a nickel for the number of time I accidentally deleted an email in the new Gmail interface, I could buy out Google and force them to git reset it back to the old version. I for one (of many) are not fine with it.

That's brilliant! That way nobody could accuse you of spying. "It's just our logo. What's all the fuss about?"

Personally, I would never run a linter of any kind on a full codebase that doesn't have tests. After having been bitten by all kinds of bugs over the years, I wouldn't suggest auto-linting any file that you aren't actively wo

Off-topic, but as I was reading the article I kept double-clicking the page thinking I had accidentally selected the entire page. On osx the default settings for showing selected text is black on a blue background.

I was very confused by the title. I read it a few times just thinking it was poor English. Had to click through to the article to find out why. Why was the leading "No" removed?

I’ve been suffering from precisely this for the past 7 months. I’m 50 years old, very active and never had a major health problem. I got mild covid in December then the problems started. All tests were negative. I even got the “panic attack

Slightly off topic, but the phrase "We miss you" in an email is a surefire way of making me click the unsubscribe link. I wonder what makes techie types so ornery?

Not to mention the w/cat photos show poor posture and funny (my interpretation) hair. The w/o cat photos also show the faces straight on, which makes them look more masculine. ie. thicker neck, more prominent jawline. There are to

Leave a javascript project for more than 2 weeks and you'll get the same thing.

"But this gem of musical dervish-ness" Hits on the key point, in my opinion. Repeating songs, phrases, rhythms can by hypnotic and put the listener/performer into a trance-like state. Something that can be quite enjoyable and

I'm not uptight - live and let live - but I absolutely cannot stand the stench. It's revolting to me. Oddly, I smoked it a bit in high school. But back then it had a much fainter, sweeter smell. Nowadays it smells like a skunk die

Site prep "just scrape the sod back from where you want to plant" This advice should be qualified. I live in outer London in a mid-century house. My garden soil has been collecting lead-laden dust for most of those years until lea

Ouch! That's me done on HN for the day. I'm going outside to do something. Anything! Thanks for the motivation :)

Same here, however... What I love about HN is the exposure to new ideas and suggestions. I've seen suggested here that fly.io is a cheaper alternative that people rave about. I had a quick look at their site and so far I like what I se

For me, Rails' magic is the (now somewhat outdated) method names that were overusing `method_missing`. Stuff like `Foo.find_by_bar` When all you did was define a db table "foo" with a column "bar". In the early days

I'm sticking it out, but I find that I have to fall back to Google on 1 out of 10 searches. Mostly technical ones. But what really annoys me (and maybe I'm doing something wrong) is that one page of (slow) results is not enough. I

I recently went to Poland for a quick 2 day holiday. Felt great before I left. Felt great while I was there. Tested positive for covid the morning I was supposed to fly home. Fast forward a bit and I'm in the back of an ambulance while

We Gen-Xers we’re apathetic due to witnessing the blatant greed of the Yuppies and we wanted none of that kind of thing.

I see you are planning to spend your golden years sheltering entirely indoors with others of the vast vast minority? ie. the over 60-70's.

They are concerned that the name could introduce trademark violations. But they continue to ape the UI pixel for pixel? HN gets upset when the Winkelvoss brothers do this sort of thing with website, but it's ok when it's OSS?

I'm in the same boat and switched to Aeropress. It has marginally reduced my cholesterol in 3 months. My diet didn't change significantly in that time except that I started eating oatmeal regularly in the morning instead of grano
