Thanks for that. Being made for folks who are writing/typing, most use cases will be on the desktop. I'm surprised you didn't see any nav. It's definitely there. The user guide is one page and each header or section is c

Hi, HN! David here from Mimix. This week my co-founder Rom and I launched Test Drive which is a really cool way to try our product without a signup or credit card. (We found those were inhibiting conversions.) Test Drive creates a full vers

Microsoft stands out here with their Xbox product, which is 1000% percent a walled garden. They make great hardware, have a great online product, their store is well liked and used by other gaming companies, and they allow cross-play with o

The proof is in the pudding. Apple doesn't really sell products; they sell a lifestyle. This is in contrast to almost all other tech and PC brands which sell on the tech itself. Because tech cannot compete with lifestyle, Apple is in a

Sure. They're ridiculous. You cannot call the absence of the choice to sideload an application "a choice." By the same token, it makes no sense to call having the choice to sideload an application an example of "eliminat

This looks interesting but too rich for my wallet. If someone who works there is reading this, it's confusing to use the term "$50/pm" for pricing. A slash already means "per" and you have "/mo"

War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength. And Sideloading is Eliminating Choice. Yep!

I live in Houston and I think this is cool. Trains might be over for the US just because of how we built the country around the interstate system (we're the only country who has one) and so trains don't really work well for passen

Since Peloton has sold subscriptions from day 1, this probably shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. The worst part of this story is that the device killed a child and they're using that as the reason to collect monthly ransom. It

The mystery to me is why DNA wouldn't be identifiable after cooking. Can't we identify human DNA after a fire... as opposed to, say, another animal? Perhaps I've seen too many crime shows. Any experts want to weigh in?

UIs for crypto wallets and exchanges are often of this ilk. Why do people who make so much money with software seem so uninterested in the UI work their software demands? Interfaces are not optional. Worse is, in this case, not better. News

Great summary. We used Lit in a recent project, also our first go at moving from JS to TS, and we loved all the advantages of both. After doing Angular and wading through other people's Vue, we love Lit.

Perhaps I should explain why the halting problem is an issue. In comp sci, the halting problem says we can never guarantee that, given some input, a program won't halt. "Halt" is another way of saying "stop without doing

I'm not saying most transactions are wrong, but some are. So transactions may need to be corrected, just like code. And, in practice, they often are. In practice, software companies take responsibility for bugs in three ways today, b

While we disagree on who is responsible for code, I do think we are saying the same thing about cryptos. If you can't fix software later, you're doomed because it all has problems. Likewise, humans make mistakes in transactions an

As a career developer of more than 30 years, I still take the viewpoint that the person who wrote the code and/or approved it (both = developers) are 100% responsible for all bugs. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, there is no suc

The author of the code and/or its publisher are always responsible for software quality, not the users. The fact that other people could audit the software does not absolve the original authors of the fact that they didn't .

The short answer is, they don't care. Unless you are a very large advertiser, they simply don't offer support of any kind. Even small advertisers have great difficulty in reaching FB support.

This reminds me of the Toyota Prius (and other models') un-commanded acceleration problem. Should car buyers examine Toyota's code, or should they assume that the gas and brake pedals work as expected? It's not reasonable to

The classic "halting problem" in comp sci shows that no one can even determine all the edge cases, much less test for them. This is why all software has bugs and always will have bugs. The way smart contracts lock-up software and

I assure you as a professional putting my business reputation on the line that nothing in any of our materials or claims is disingenuous. We're just not that kind of company. Caveat emptor, for sure. Like I said, the proof is always in

For somebody selling fact checking, misquoting Twain is almost unforgivable! The correct quote should have been, "Reports of my (blockchain's) death have been greatly exaggerated." My bad. Apparently, misquoting Twain is popu

I appreciate that definition. In this scenario, however, we're going for the Wikipedia or original meaning of blockchain: "A blockchain is a growing list of records, called blocks, that are linked together using cryptography.&quot
