Someone at Insta, please read this: - Give me a timeline that shows only the people I follow. - Give me an "explore" section so I can find new people. - That's right, exactly like Instagram does it. I'll use it if you do

The value isn't in the browser engine, it's in the implementation and the user experience. I don't love Arc -- I bounced off it pretty fast -- but it's not insane to think that a VC would see the reuse of the most common

So basically all the social media platforms are converging feature-wise. Twitter/X is leaning into video, TikTok is adding text posts, Meta now has a Twitter clone.

Charlie Hunter calls this kind of thing "covert chops." This is the kind of thing pros eventually end up caring about -- groove, feel, taste, dynamics, etc. Real musicianship.

This is my favorite hypothesis, even though/especially because it makes your mind spin. I could be wrong but I think Roger Penrose has some thoughts along these lines. I may be butchering this and/or injecting my own (admittedly i

A decrease locally, yes, but an increase overall. A life form is definitely something I'd consider to be highly organized, i.e. low entropy, but that order is maintained via a greater relative increase of entropy by destroying and

I think that makes complete sense. After all, something similar already happens with trademarks: if you don't use it, it lapses. Presumably companies only invest time and money on using the trademarks they expect to yield a return on t

I'm 100% sold on the idea that the Nix model is, generally, the best way forward. But time and time again I hear the same thing: the documentation and UX suck. Until I hear differently, I'm just gonna stick with my battle-tested s

Right, I get that, and I totally empathize with customers that would want that. But that's also part and parcel to the "devil you know" I mentioned. Like, in my experience -- which, sure, is absolutely not in a world that h

Piggybacking off your comment to add some additional questions; I'm in a similar boat as you. I've always been a user of the Debian and Arch worlds. The RHEL/Fedora/etc world has been this "other" part of Linux

No idea, honestly. You're right, the product doesn't really make sense anymore. But at the same time, I can't see them simply dropping it. Maybe they'll surprise us.

Yes, and that's precisely my point. They made the 14 and 16, but they presumably still had plenty of 13" frames left, so they're just selling both. Jobs-era Apple likely wouldn't have done that, as it causes the product

Whenever Apple does something kinda weird, always remember: Tim Cook is a supply chain guy. Just like the current 13” MBP, just like the old iPhone SE, the “new” Mac Pro exists to fulfill some manufacturing contracts and/or use up exis

I arrived at modal editors via Helix. I had bounced off (neo)vim multiple times, primarily due to the verb-object editing scheme, and initially found Helix to be a godsend. That said, I had an editing paradigm too opinionated even for Helix

Our entire company runs on Google products. I really, really like Google Workspace as a platform for a small-medium non-tech company such as the one I work for, where I'm one of two developers. But them killing Domains (where all our

Uh. Is that language legally binding?

Yes, it’s all MIDI. People complaining about it are ignoring the fact that it’s beyond ubiquitous and has not required a change for literally decades. It’s a smashing success, warts aside. The dude replying to you with “Sibelius” apparent

I much prefer the multithreaded UI, but agree that the up/down vote systems aren't great. If it were simply sorted by time, I'd be happy.

What an absolute shit show. Reddit is objectively in the wrong here. Like Christian says, I fully agree that Reddit should charge for API access. But this is ridiculous and is simply a transparent (likely successful) attempt to kill 3rd par

Man, System 7.5 and the OS X Developer Preview 2 are so damn crisp. I know you can approximate that look on Linux, but it's never quite the real thing. I would do horrible things if I could have a modern desktop that truly looked lik

Man, thanks so much for this. I’m using Wasabi with a Yarkon front end right now and it’s great, but Backblaze/Cloudflare is looking like a serious contender.

This is...completely missing the point. It honestly blows my mind how often exemplars of the Dunning-Kruger effect make it to the top on HN. You know that feeling you get as a programmer watching, like, two people code on the same keyboard

It's not that people aren't believing you or that it's not true, it's that it doesn't apply to the conversation at hand and so completely misses the point that it's kind of baffling that anyone would arrive

It's strange to see so much of what I think of as decidedly late 90s/early 2000s internet slang ("BTW," "flame," etc) being used here.

Feel the exact same way. I've eventually sold every iPad I owned because I always just end up wanting iPadOS to be macOS.
