For real, this is the bane of my existence. There's probably some engagement metric that is being addressed by this, but to me it looks like programmer incompetence. 1 year 11 months ago getting rounded down to 1 year ago is not useful

For me, ideally, you don't need to TAB, because the input focus switches automatically.

Sadly you hit on a nerve, because, to my knowledge, Safari on iPhone does not support the fullscreen API. See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fullscreen_...

Are users migrating to Phind? ChatGPT was all over HN when it came out, but this comment is the first time I hear about Phind.

This is what Obsidian does, as well. You can open your folder with Obsidian and it will just work.

I love a simple idea pushed far beyond expectation. It's a little choppy on my phone, though (Firefox Android).

This seems nice on the surface, but in reality I will be scrolling further down to find if the browser I care about supports the feature. Sometimes not even that original list has that browser listed. Ever designed a web page for an older S

This is the start of a sci-fi book I read many years ago, but I can't remember the name of it.

Why is it strange? Sunlight is an extremely valuable asset, both physically and mentally. I actually find the opposite mindset (that sunlight doesn't matter) really strange.

Seems like this is just another algorithmic feed? They're great at trimming down large amounts of data, but I always feel like algorithmic feeds always miss something, that a human never would, as I do just now reading the front page.

Aren't they, though? My brain seems very much like a hash table. Duplicate names just make the hash key longer, which is not a big deal but harder to remember.
