I think that person was agreeing with me, sarcastically, because they're putting forward the opposite points to the ones I was making.

I think we should ban cigarettes and alcohol for children, but we should also allow adults to make the decision to consume them rather than preventing them from doing so. We also should not ban unrelated products that happen to be bought fr

I'm in the UK; BlueSky already requires age verification for DMs, which I can no longer use.

One 'better option' would be to hold parents more responsible for crimes that their children commit. And to broaden the types of abuse that the state can respond to—if parents let their children habitually drink alcohol to excess

Just any kind of contrast between foreground and background would help.

They are, but it's nuanced. If you have one app with a single window, it will always be selectable via Cmd+Tab, even if it's full-screened. If you have an app with multiple windows, one of which is full-screened, and you select a

You can also just sort by "new" i.e. chronologically.

I agree that games are excellent value, particularly compared to the 90s when they cost a LOT more than they do today. However, I think the point is a wider one: even if games were priced more 'fairly', should you be able to buy a

I'm very confident that you could do the same in 2k. (Looks like this screenshot confirms it, those two blue arrows rotated the view: https://pressakey.com/gamepix/101/simcity3.jpg )

How does it break for you? Seems OK to me on android — in fact, I already had it at 110%. Reminded me to check my desktop settings which have HN fixed at 125%. I cannot believe that, in 2026, the default font size is set at 12px — is anyon

I find that it's typically better than Google search has been for a while, but not better than it's ever been.

Two emdash phrases in 4 paragraphs is hardly excessive.

Maybe it's referring to the CLI, since you could pipe to/from it? There's an example relating to curl: https://slumber.lucaspickering.me/user_guide/cli/subcommands...

They weren't telling the joke, they were using it as a reference point. They also didn't explain it, they just gave the punchline without any setup.

FYI, this doesn't appear to work on macOS, unless I'm lucky enough that Chrome has never installed anything related to this on my machine. I don't even have a ~/.config/google-chrome directory; it's possible Go

Everyone revisits or reloads a website. Not everyone uses the features you refer to, and I would guess it's a minority that does.

Hidden is a pretty reasonable synonym for "not visible".

Modern games include assets with very large file sizes that operating systems do not.

Are we talking about the app at reclaim.ai ? It calls itself the "#1 AI calendar app for work." Like many of these tools, it may be AI in hype only, but I'm not sure exactly where we'd draw the line otherwise.

Game consoles are still pretty popular, I don't think people are going to forget what real buttons are for at least another couple of generations.

A button looking like a button isn't an age (of the reader) thing.

Isn't the point that browsers should, ideally, be for web-browsing and nothing more? Even embedding a PDF reader is controversial, but it seems entirely unnecessary that a browser should come with its own emoji-picker—what's wrong

Does any OS get keyboard shortcuts even slightly right? I only really have experience with macOS right now, but it's terrible—just trying to find out which shortcuts are in use is non-trivial. Is there some kind of Linux standard for t

Really good fun. I accidentally completed a word at one point when I was trying to rotate a large section that wouldn't fit anywhere, but other than that, everything worked really smoothly. I thought the "right word, wrong constru

I know this is a throwaway joke, but I was interested anyway... According to my own local Markdown formatters, the answer would be both "usr" and "bin", with the surrounding slashes removed, but the internal slash remain
