It's not unique to Linux users. Anytime a new device is released, there's always a comment from an alternate-device user stating that they prefer their device. With HN, Linux user comments are voted-up so often that they're w

Or they could be trying to uncover malicious acts hidden behind classification. You may be too young or too old to understand, but historically it goes both ways.

But it does require answers. Answers are a response to questions, otherwise they're just statements.

Is there a HN bingo card? Because we always get a top comment for Linux user who tries Mac and decides they prefer Linux.

It doesn't help with inspecting returns. It simply adds another hurdle that has resulted in a slightly smaller percent of fewer returns, saving them a significant amount of $$ at scale. Btw, if Amazon is a fault, where they can't

I dunno, based on Spotify's recommendation engine, AI is absolutely sufficient to make anyone a creator ;P Almost all naturally-generated music is derivative to one degree or another. And new tools like AI provide new ways to produce m

Music is math. Art is patterns. Like how we're using AI to iterate through design and code, musicians could use it for generating musical patterns including chords, harmonies, melodies, and rhythms. In theory, it can pull up and manipu

I think macOS will go the way of the Mac Pro. It won't be cut off, it will simply atrophy over time. As more MBP fundamentals are ported to iPad Pro, that will naturally convert more Mac users to iPads, especially the iPhone generation

I feel like this is more of a calculated step towards eliminating macOS, because iPadOS can do "everything" too. I expect it will happen within a few years after Xcode for iPad is released. MacOS is simply too open for Apple'

I still use my calendar for routine time-window reminders. But when I tried timeboxing tasks for after work, those don't stick because my daily work hours can shift by as much as 2 hours, depending on how many pre-work-hours meetings I

I found Reminders to be unreliable and foolishly designed. It only works for must-do tasks. It uses repeating-period instead of time-since, so it can't handle repeating tasks that are optional. If you fail to mark off a repeating task,

No, some skeptics are actually dishonest. It's part of trolling, and trolling is in fashion right now. Granted, some skeptics are fair, but many do it strictly for the views, without any due diligence.

Both are vibe coding. The term was coined by Andrej Karpathy, a computer scientist who served as the director of artificial intelligence at Tesla. Maybe you're thinking of slop coding ?
