I think you're overreacting to the author's attempt at tongue-in-cheek humor... After all the explicit sarcasm, emphasised by quoting 'cool', turns the tables on the 'twenty-something white males', and makes &#

Nope, not 'confirm' — my 'stunt' in that context was referring to the parent comment's insider source saying they're actively working on a proper demo... Obviously, the webpage in of itself currently could be v

Excuse my (potential) ignornace, but isn’t this just Bitmoji (which has huge market share), just with slightly reduced setup from face scanning?

Safe to say that Arthur C Clarke would count this as 'sufficiently advanced technology' then I guess :)

Actually... How cool would it be to have an NN that could extend an image's background with plausible scenery? Not just photoshop 'smart' fill, but for example if it detected a building on the right side of an image, it could

Yeah, I miss the days back at the start of the decade when I would brim with delight over an email notification that a senior engineer / moderator had chimed-in on my thread on the Apple dev forums. Checking the dev forums was my favou

It is a shame to see Apple using the same tactics as iOS with macOS, which in my opinion a different beast when it comes to upgrades. I really regret upgrading to High Sierra, because — thanks to a still unfixed graphics driver issue, my 20

What do you want them to say? Something like "We didn't use an already-existing, massive database of ours because [REDACTED]." Despite my somewhat facetious alternative, I am genuinely interested in how you think they could h

I knew what laptop Marco would be talking about before I clicked on the link. Perhaps that says something about Marco, but I have the feeling it's almost certainly about how widely-lauded the old rMBP was, and still clearly is. Apple g

I get that the SaaS model of owning user data is wrong. However, I've noticed that some comments seem to imply that it combats being "locked-in" to a provider. Surely a web-app'a data structure is so tailored to its serv

It's not an 'appeal to authority', just a hint that I'm reluctant to take design advice from IBM. Why? As many other HNers have pointed out, the site that the font is being showcased on is hardly the pinnacle of good web

It's never an absolute, but for a similar justification to the you've given for white — it creates too much contrast, and is therefore most often (especially in print and on bright displays), uncomfortable to look at: "[Pure]

I think the most important thing is that you are motivated to create a web-app in the first place — this should give you mental leverage to learn how to do UI / UX properly, if you have the time to go down that route. As someone who st

This is one of the caveats of debating in the HN echo-chamber... People start making bizarre analogies using 'parallels' from tech (in this case, SMTP), for the sake of it, hoping that the blatant inaccuracies of their comparison

Interesting you mention the gloves / 'soiled'-fingers scenarios — as those do indeed make it pain to use TouchID! However, they usually also restrict your usage of the entire touch display as well (unless you have ultra-snazz
