The whole point of this article is that double-click to select a word doesn't work with a UUID... though, I think this should just be fixed: I have XTerm set up where double clicking selects a word, triple clicking selects a filename (

Selling me on Tree Style Tabs -- and thereby an analysis of the downsides I see to the specific browser/extension configuration I need to have to get such a feature in practice today -- seems very unrelated to why anyone uses or wants

So I have a ton of windows open--I just counted, and I have 95 windows open--and I'd certainly agree I'd love to have fewer windows open ;P. But like, each of these windows has a number of tabs in them, and there is only so much s

I am struggling to understand the workflow that uses tab groups instead of just using windows. All of the use cases I am finding while searching for this feature sound like things I can already do with windows. I've now spent like ten

Some people finally are -- and, frankly, all of them should be, though that's another argument -- building web applications where the code for the web application itself is being loaded off of a decentralized system via a newer protoco

Fear also makes you a better programmer: people these days are way too willing to take on cavalier amounts of risk and then offload deciding whether it worked or not onto others in code review, onto a stifling number of unit tests, and ev

Per brushstroke is interesting but per unit area in the average font size is also key.

I had found what I consider to be the perfect wallet and while they did add an RFID lining it was one I could remove. I have bought multiple of them as backups and likely will purchase a few more ;P.

Thanks! For the card-shaped one I might actually try that one out and switch. I actually was just adding a thing to my comment about how the location finding thing is certainly useful but not as good as a loud speaker as it doesn't sup

That's cool! I am looking at this and seeing another issue with AirTag: I actively use the feature on Tile where I can use the Tile on my keychain to find my phone by pushing the button, and I guess AirTags is entirely missing that fea

AirTags only come in a single size and shape that only makes sense for larger container objects. Tile makes a flat credit-card sized variant that you can slide in your wallet, and the adapters required to put an AirTag on a keychain is pret

Well, that's in some sense what these new large language models are all about: if all I want is the information from a website, it makes much more sense for me to have an AI read it and give me a summary than to wade through ads... but

This is just such a strange thing to point out when the more relevant thing is that the comment itself does NOT display the number of likes even though that USED TO BE how the site worked because the people who maintain it decided doing so

What you are describing -- a system where I have to maintain accounts on a number of separate networks that don't interoperate due to content control disagreements -- is an ecosystem of competing centralized systems, not a decentralize

Because... you are terrified that you might manage to figure out how to access such content, and need to make it extremely difficult for you to do so, even on purpose? (I clearly don't understand.)

And yet, Hacker News long ago removed the ability to see vote point counts on comments, and there is no mechanism for people to follow other users at all. And, hell, while "author" is the most trivial feature of all to get right a

It is not obvious to me at all that this problem needs to be solved or that it is even a good thing for social networks to provide such stats; but, if it actually somehow is important, it is also a problem that is trivially reduced to the s

Advertisers are using AI to write ad copy. Consumers are using AI to read and ignore ads. So, developers and users get into an AI war over CAPTCHAs. ...and, well, welcome to the latent dystopia :(.

I feel like in recent years people--not just relevant trade professionals but a ton of normal people--have also come to recognize them for making protective gear including, very specifically, N95 masks.
