Mixed files and situations where I have to order by date or more complex filtering makes me hate dealing with terminals. If I want to pick and choose, let's say, the first, third, and sixth files orderd by size descending, it's un

In my opinion the underlying outrage isn't about this pull request in particular, it's about a failure to allow simple customizations like changing interface font sizes from otherwise hardcoded values. [1] It's a usability an

That's a very low bar to set for "power user". By that standard even users wanting to install Dropbox and managing files themselves would be enough to count as a "power user". Recommending the use of a terminal is e

If a user can't open or target a folder by typing in the location, it's useless for any meaningful file management. This feels like macOS is becoming more like iOS instead of the other way around. There is a setting to re-enable i

It's not worth feeling shocked over. When you are approaching fundamentals, it doesn't matter what method you use. The education system failed you. From my experience teaching kids with math anxiety, I learned it's impossibl

This particular author seems to be frustrated by some repetitive and minimizing comments from HN in past discussions of their work. Part of the discussion used to be people sharing that twitter threads are annoying and not discussing the co

I was brought up in a academically competitive environment, both in school and at home. I also have a natrual affinity towards mathematics and puzzles, but none of that makes a difference. This kind of arithmetic math inutition is nothing m

I think popularity based ranking should absolutely be optional and a toggle. I think it's reasonable to have default rank be popularity, but in my opinion, the value of a model like this is finding obscure tracks. I also would definite

This is very interesting, but unfortunately I haven't had the greatest luck in finding new songs I would enjoy listening to. It absolutely finds similar sounding tracks, but it doesn't distinguish which part of the song made it en

This is nice, but I personally just do a rough estimate based on known perfect squares and the idea of graph in my head. If I need anything more accurate than +-0.5 for small numbers, and +-10 for large, I'd just take out a calculator.

I fed it some of my old HN comments, comfortably longer than the 1000 character minimum and found 9/10 times the classifier marked it as "unclear". This was a comment from 2020. I found out that just repeating a sentence a fe

I suggest you look into laws surrounding medical neglect of children. The first part of my comment was general, and is specifically describing this very type of parent, but not taken to an extreme. As far as my state laws go "A parent

This is a very dramatic framing. A much more resonable explanation is that YouTube was being used as an escape. 10K Subs is an accomplishment, a real community. The less talked about half of parasocial relationships is the one that goes the
