Agreed 100 percent. Luckily third party apps and websites exist, because the one that YCombinator has made is worthy of all the ridicule it gets. Reddit gets a lot of hate around here but at least it's readable on a device made in the

Can't edit posts on the mobile app I'm using. By "fundamentally change" I mean "did we know hominids were carving wooden tools this far back in time?"

This is really neat to read about. Does this discovery fundamentally change our understanding of other homonid cultures?

Oh no! A secret algorithm?! I really don't mind that I don't know how Amazon's pricing system works. Even if it was public knowledge I doubt it could be adequately explained in a paragraph of a Verge article. I do mind if t

What's the benefit to having the app online, versus installing it locally? Looks promising but I don't want reoccurring costs for my CAD software. Edit: now that I think about it, these are kinda two different concerns rather than

Apparently this was one of the major barriers to achieving widespread adoption of computers in China. The sheer complexity of the Chinese written language meant that it was much harder to display Chinese characters on an old 80s monitor. (I

I'll give the obligatory comment about the New Yorker magazine, which still uses these diaereses... for some reason.

When my grandpa was navigating B24's in WWII, he saw a B24's wing flying by itself. The Japanese had set the plane on fire from nose to tail, and the body separated from the wings. The B24 has the wings on top of the fuselage, so

Yahweh also originated as an Israelite warrior storm god, later merging with the head of the Canaanite pantheon El (from whom we get the word Elohim). And it makes sense to think of the storm god as in the sky.

This site has a list of phones with the same CPU as the Samsung Galaxy S20 they mentioned. https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/qualcomm/snapdragon_800/865 I wonder if it happens to them too?

These old steam locomotives might not be environmentally friendly but they're amazing to watch and listen to. I've heard the big boy is great to see in person if you get the chance (they've talked about doing a tour of the we

Hopefully we don't end up with a Tesla version and an SAE version. They'll need to be essentially 100% identical for this to work.

Finished carbon fiber parts don't expire - it's the raw prepreg (carbon fiber that's been pre-impregnated with epoxy) that expires.

Forget wood fired pizza, titanium fired pizza has a way better flavor. I wonder if they really used the pizza alibi for all the titanium or if they diversified. Did they really put all their eggs in one basket?

1997 is usually talked about as the start of gen z, I think. One good metric is that millennials usually remember 9/11, and gen z people usually don't.

Some of us in gen z don't see much of a point to killing people in real life, but don't see the harm in video games. Neither have any "real purpose" other than making money.

Not much detail in this article to go off of. The numbers look neat but there's been a lot of enthusiastic reporting on too-good-to-be-true batteries. If the batteries aren't for sale, then it's probably not worth getting exc

I know this question has been asked a million times, but will WebAssembly ever get native DOM access? Seems like that would be a good catalyst for switching away from JavaScript, at least on the client side.

My linear algebra professor put a lot of effort into showing us the processes; how to do things, how and why they worked. Unfortunately they spent no time showing us how this stuff was actually used in the real world, and so for me it all w

The whitespace and font size you have now is good. On HN, I have to zoom in to 140% to be able to read comfortably. Just went back to 100% and quickly remembered why I had it zoomed in. No one is using 480p CRTs anymore, IDK why HN is still

I wondered for years why I was getting so many ads on Facebook directed towards old people. Then I realized that Facebook thinks I was born about 90 years before I was actually born.

Is there a practical reason to do this? I don't mean that disparagingly; it's a cool project and I can see its value. I'm just wondering if there's also a practical reason you might do something like this rather than jus

Huh, Blade Runner 2049 in real life. I suppose it's not surprising, considering that this kind of thing has stimulated technological progress for a long time now [1]. I wonder how long it will be until someone releases the same thing b

Finally. Some here are probably devoted to 7zip or winrar; I can understand that but to be honest, I'd rather it just be painless and native. Not a big deal but one less program to install on new Windows computers now.

AMD's 6800XT should be a pretty good competitor to it; 500 bucks, 16GB vram, and a 256 bit bus. And the 6800XT is already available
