   I assumed a good one already existed and some HN person would point me to it. I don't even have a blog.

   There should be a blog post to point to people who have a 1990s view of MySQL. It has changed a lot and has most of PostgreSQL's feature set while being faster and simpler to use for the average user.

   Yes, people whose day job is to explore all possible options have surely missed this extremely obvious idea.

   You can also share them, e.g. someone made a specialised ChatGPT for korean: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-erkTp2LNZ-learn-korean-with-gpt I'm not sure how it works though. Just a canned prompt?

   Here's a good example: I used Weylus which turns any touch device (phone, tablet etc) into a drawing tablet + screen mirror. It can be used to turn your iPad into a second monitor or as a touch device for your laptop. Weylus gives you

   SPAs are supposed to be more efficient by only loading the data needed to update, but somehow back/forward are 100x more responsive on static pages or static sprinkled with JS, and they don't break the back button either. SPAs alw

   This is just AI slop. https://100.st/tools/uuid-nil-generator this generator literally just makes an arbitrary number of identical all-zero UUIDs. Then 10 pages of genAI SEO crap after. Did a human even pass their eyes

   If anything we're conditioned by millions of years of evolution to expect things to take time. Things happening instantly in a digital void is relatively new. The majority of users seem to prefer slow animations for anything that chang

    Also, there's a great book on drafting that you can find at the Library (of course you need to draw the Library twice, one to request the book and one more to get it - another issue with the RNG)

    Same experience after 8 hours. I can see how roguelite fans would enjoy the dopamine hits of new information / upgrades / solving tiny bits of puzzles. As a pure puzzle fan I found the roguelite stuff repetitive and boring, and th

    That's interesting, because I took the sentence verbatim from a linguistics book (辞書には書かれていないことばの話、仁田義雄). It says うな重 is short for 「うな重を食べた人」. It was compared with 漱石を読んだ (-> 漱石の作品) and 及第点に荷物を持たせよう (-> 及第点を取った人) So you're s

    Imagine reading Oyasumi Punpun as an AI translation, and how much would be lost compared to the original or a professional English translation.

    Japanese is a 'high-context' language which is a big challenge for isolated sentences. The subject is often omitted. I saw a YouTube comment '中国要素隠す気もないの草' translated to "I don't have any intention of hiding th

    I google search w/ reddit because it provides a selection of random users' opinions. Real opinions free of any SEO or ads, summarised by my brain using my personal set of weights and priorities, and my personal well-oiled bullshit

    I don't think that top rated list is worth much. Brandon Sanderson's The Stormlight Archive is the #1 highest rated series... with 250 votes.

    Its selling feature is it looks 'native' for Mac and is GPU-rendered. I don't find that important personally, it's just a box with text in it...

    It's 27%. And Delta _want_ to handle refunds and customer support themselves: “We’ve been using Patreon for years, and it allows us to do things Apple’s IAP system can’t — such as issuing refunds and handling customer support — making

    I find it interesting because in my lifetime the UK went from magstripe (falling back to a carbon copy of the card with signature) to chip and pin, to contactless, and now smartphone. A lot of upgrading while the US just skipped it.

    Did America go straight from giving full credit card info to Apple Pay? Chip and pin and card contactless both solve that problem

    I use Sony WH-1000XM4 and it has a native 3.5mm jack alongside USB-C, which even works when the battery is dead. It's been pretty useful over time, especially with musical instruments or older hardware. Honestly it's a baffling de

    Agree but I'm not sure why. I'm not a mac user so the initial impression is like "this isn't for you, go away". At least add a linux command alongside it!

    I hope he's not right about Japan because since covid I talk to even less people. Restaurants have automated not just ordering, but reservations and payment too now.

    You report to everyone who could possibly take the page offline, as that's the metric that matters.

    Chrome even switches to tabs when you unfold the Fold phones, which is really nice.

    The Fold4 switches to dex as soon as you connect a monitor. I wonder why they made it harder to use?

    All high end Samsung phones can do this as well (DEX).
