What would you people suggest is the most Windows-like Linux distro to switch over? I'm thinking in terms of visual similarity, UX, key bindings, and such for everyday usage.

If you want to take that cheating to the logical extreme, check out this project made by a friend. It's explicit in the title that it's just streaming, but pretty fun nonetheless! https://github.com/rodri042/g

This has been the reality in countries like Argentina for literal decades. It's created a ridiculous disparity since wages are shrinking so fast, and many people don't realize it, that there's desperate attempts to freeze the

Yeah I'm talking about Argentina. It's not so much a day to day living with crypto kind of situation but rather a being able to save one. Say you have a salary that's getting devalued by the month yet doesn't raise at th

It's a lifesaver in countries with rampant inflation where they forbid you to buy currencies from other countries. Literally in some cases.

My username has been my name which has an accented character and has broken countless Windows apps every year since forever, so I just keep a C:/Programs folder where I run stuff. You should never not fear filenames.

The difference is how they manipulate you psychologically to not realize how much you're spending. You can't just buy the thing, you need to buy a particular currency, and possibly do some in-game work, and also gamble with loot b

I was first introduced to programming with Pascal, can't believe I forgot about it until I saw your list.

I think Tailwind really shines alongside a tool like React where you don't abstract out a class of Tailwind classes, but a whole component with minimal to no functionality. If you end up with too many of those then maybe it's a si

One way people have of affording these fees is by working for people outside the country who can pay a salary that would cover the fees alongside being a living wage. After building enough wealth in crypto, they can choose to leave the regi

One nitpick that kind of bothered me - on a large desktop monitor, the results page was like 70% whitespace margins with the results squished in the middle like a portrait cellphone. Hopefully it's easy to fix, I like to research at ho

I'm mostly referring to what comments like this[1] one sound like. They may be lies or they may be isolated cases in specific states or counties, but it's not at all the first time I've read such accounts. Grain of salt since

I can't possibly imagine how trauma, torture and debt can at all help with suicidal ideation. It sounds barbaric.

The worst part is even if you disable automatic backups, which you should, the app will nevertheless force the creation of a backup every day at 2am. And keep 7 days worth of backups at a time. Of every single thing it can gets its hands on

I wish I knew the answer as well. I believe many managers trained in the art of building software without knowing how to build software are too married to doing processes in a very specific way that's very tightly coupled to Jira, and

They coupled the OS to cloud stuff so tightly they break together? That's so absolutely bonkers, even if it's a boiled frog situation, I'm speechless. I'll start dual booting Linux to get used to it because this is final

That definition of interest is basically what Reddit does, and in the end I believe the kind of manual curation the HN mods do ends up fostering a healthier and more interesting community. Neural networks fed by votes, views and comments te

For 2D specifically, if you feel at home with GM and are already productive, stick with it. Otherwise, do try it out as it's incredibly good and the learning curve is not steep. For 3D, stick with Unreal.

I once saw the kind of support emails a friend got while working CS for an encrypted media storage service. Every single day, someone new was demanding, many times threatening legal action, that the company recovered their encrypted media.

Digital cash funded roulette is such a predatory practice. I believe it should just be banned altogether, there's no good to come of it.

Apple does require a string for location access motivation, hopefully they'll do that for this one as well. Ideally all of them.

Apparently some font renderers are bugging out on this new font making some letters render in a way that looks misaligned, which is very taxing on the eyes.

Yeah, wrap the text to the viewport. It's what Opera does and it's perfect to me, as I have trouble reading small font sizes, so I got used to just zooming the heck out of text.

by phreack 5y ago
More importantly, you can't read long text in small copy by zooming in without having to scroll sideways in FF mobile. That's just such an obvious UX problem it's unfathomable how it hasn't been addressed yet. There&#x27
