I wish them luck too! But you have to be realistic and understand your users. Their value are not necessarily your values. A new services must be clearly better for them to switch; just being "not Facebook" is not that compellin

I couldn’t see the highlights either on my first hole. Or maybe there were no valid landing spots, I’m not sure. I also thought the black circle was the hole, not the ball. Golf balls are normally white, not black. EDIT: it appears that the

This is perhaps only a problem with the niche HN user base, but “Filing System” would be more accurate. Thought this had to do with damaged hard disk recovery or redundant file systems or something technical like that.

I don’t know what you mean by the “official” definition of “feminist”. There’s no single authority that decides what an English word means or how it should be used like there is for French (which has the Académie Française). Perhaps you mea

Seems like it’s sold out now except for a special one at £1,000. Did anyone catch what the original price was?

Which makes sense, why would browsers randomly add JS to PDF if it wasn’t already part of the standard?

I’ve been stung by this before, where I’d already closed the original browser tab since I assumed the magic link would open a new tab (as they usually do)

The name is rather confusing. I thought this "Pricing Tracker" was going to be tracking the pricing of the congestion toll (implying that it changes dynamically throughout the day), but what it's actually tracking is commute

Am I the only one that gets annoyed by that "enhanced representation"? All I want to see in my editor window is the code itself. Every year, VS Code goes further and further in adding more inline hints, error messages, test resul

I get what you mean, but that is assuming that you know exactly which one to get and you only need to buy one. In reality, you'll probably need to try at least 3-4 keyboards to find the right one, and they're not always easy or c

One suggestion, add controls for rotating the video. Cameras in this era didn't always have the ability to rotate a video after it was shot, so some of these are in the wrong orientation. Now, it's just a simple CSS transform: do
