Sorry for the poor experience with the current design, still experimenting. I cannot disagree with you, you’re on point on everything when considering the file system as an OS component. But if we entertain the thought of file system as a d

Starts the article giving examples of novel and unexpected ways people employed available paradigms to create value, then proceeds to sell LLMs which are completely biased by the most standard ways of doing things…

Hello, HN I am an independent researcher interested in the commoditization of hypermedia. Simply put, I argue that hypermedia authoring remains a highly artisanal process, making it niche and largely inaccessible to the general population.

Nothing beats only listing things the restaurant is great at making and always have fresh ingredients for. All else is subjective.

I think because settling for less is just not an option, progress at large would be hindered with a pressure for using less energy, even though it’s the right thing, arguably. Hence demand for more energy itself propels progress and innovat

I just revisited similar tools to understand better why I feel your tool has more appeal to me than the likes of miro, etc. and I realized I forgot to compliment the good parts. Yours felt way simpler, the ui doesn’t get in the way and that

I would use it for organizing dossiers on a research topic. For collecting thoughts and references for things under my current scope of work. I would use it temporarily and not as a primary storage/organization system. A short term mem

I see nothing. I just select a scope and do a mental step-by-step simulation. I do one pass for expected inputs, and then a lot of passes for unexpected inputs. If anything I hold a stack of intermediate values in short term memory, but it&

Gave it a try on macOS. My first impression is that it breaks expectations for common operations: 1. Two-finger sideways panning does not work, it zooms erratically; 2. Click and drag pans instead of drawing a selection box; 3. Shift + Clic

Thus is the new norm. It plays well with how the platforms distribute content. I have faith that history will not remember those.

It’s a good theory. But in practice, it’ll become ever so easy to build something similar, and there’ll be numerous free options to choose from. Good enough free options. And quite probably the bigger fish will start buying the smaller, unt

I think on the same lines. Digital identity is the hardest problem we’ve been procrastinating in solving since forever, because it has the most controversial trade offs, which no two persons can agree on. Despite the well known risks, it’s

I find this super interesting! The first thing that comes to mind reading the demo code is, perhaps against the purpose, to canonicalize the lookup examples, which in turns evokes that the examples could be expressed by type expressions alo

So it’s not illegal, but nonetheless an insult. Considering the pressure and shaming campaign against Matt, I’d say this may be even worse.

In general you’re correct. But this is a political matter. Putting intellectual principles above common sense is just naive.

There’s a difference between being awkward and being wrong; being persuasive and being right.

Yeah. The author starts by giving all the reasons he is biased. And still expects us to take their argument at face value? Come on…

According to his recent interview on Primeagen, he argues that WPEngine operations incur high costs to his company, due to the millions of installations consuming resources from Wordpress.org. And despite being a very large player, they con

I guess caching is as hard as writing about caching, then. The author, while not sure if to teach or to preach, did a lousy job at both.

Raycast, the spotlight replacement for macOS. It’s a whole system in itself, consistent design and interactions, and allows you to develop extensions locally in a very straightforward manner. Also it’s very fast.

SJ has undeniably championed great progress at the technology design front. But I think it’s important to acknowledge the bad parts, or rather, the things we lost along the way. Mainly, I think, the push for too much abstractions, needed to

Most apps and sites don’t have much to show for, especially institutional ones. So you’re left with a whole lot of space to fill with… something. Even if you have text, most text is pure noise, also made to fill space, that goes for images

It’s too late to talk about safety when your product is already free to use and actively employed to pollute the digital space with all sorts of fakery. And AGI? Please, how can they be so delusional to the point of believing they are on a
