You are trying to start fights all over this post and I'm not sure why, but please don't put words in my mouth. At no point did I even remotely suggest that people shouldn't have access to smartphones.

Are any of those things impossible without sideloading or the DMA? Those things will only be riskier on your phone with all the malware that will undoubtedly spread throughout fully open marketplaces. I really do not want my mom accidentall

How is that at all different from what you could already do with Apple devices?

What is with these "ti", "ni", "fi" typos? Weird.

The example images look so bad. Absolutely zero artistic value.

You can change the resolution though? If you go to Displays on your mac you can change the resolution of the AVP mirroring. I find it works much better at "1080p" than the default since it makes small text much more readable.

With a "$20 billion fortune", investing $100 million is the equivalent of someone with a "$100,000 fortune" investing $500. Probably not a welcome sentiment on HN, but billionaires really shouldn't exist.

Sometimes I think we need more verbosity in programming languages. Imagine you're new to programming and come across this, - what the hell is fmt? - what the hell is fn? - int? - n? - printf? what is f? - what is %d? I know this probab

They regularly go on sale; there are t-shirts for $49 on their site right now. But in any case JE is not _too_ marked up compared to other brands, given the quality, cuts, and the fact that all the t-shirts are made in LA by workers given f

Yeah RiRi zippers are great. John Elliott in the US also uses them.

Can't explain it, but to my eyes Jetbrains Mono is too robotic or mechanical, maybe clinical? whereas I love that Fira has some character and feels at least a bit Humanist for a monospaced font. The iA Writer fonts are another great op

Wow that's crazy, radio personality Carl Kasell was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw Aptos. Nailed it.

Not the millionaire part, but yeah it is nice. I work to live, not live to work, and your military job sounds horrible, so I'll pass :)

Q2 being so slowed down compared to QuakeWorld makes a lot of sense when you read that John Carmack _hated_ the bunnyhopping bug in QW, and wanted everyone to be slow moving Terminators walking down hallways. I'm with you though, I hat

Yeah, the boss at the end of episode 1 (e1m7, House of Chthon) was way more interesting than end.bsp, and I remember really blew me away as a kid. Makes sense based on what others were saying about having the best levels up front.

Sure, but there's a big difference between leaked code vs. code cleaned up and officially released over 3 years after launch. Who knows what the Quake source looked like on the date they initially shipped. Quake also remained in develo

I was curious about this too. The QW code is different and I believe has fixed this. Example source for W_FireLightning in KTX: https://github.com/QW-Group/ktx/blob/6b8a50833d0ef738182cf7a...

Yeah I'd love to know what this is aiming for over WezTerm, which already supports both WebGPU and OpenGL rendering. Maybe just that it is closer to being able to run in a browser? I have to take a moment to just evangelize WezTerm a b

98SE for gaming was perfect. 2000 was "ok" when you had to eventually switch. Everything after that was pretty terrible.

As someone who has spent their professional life writing Objective-C (first pre-ARC, then ARC), now mostly Swift, the biggest benefit of Swift over Obj-C is how much more difficult/explicit it is to write unsafe code. You can totally s

One thing all these comments bringing up "so are CDs" miss is the open physicality of vinyl. The above poster is talking about mixing vinyl records, which with CDs all becomes digital. With vinyl, you're physically placing a

Twitter is explicitly communicating that dead celebrities have actively subscribed (paid $8/month) and verified a phone number, which is just inaccurate. At the least, they should have just left the legacy copy, because this is tastele

IMO Emacs is a perfect candidate for this kind of thing, or maybe something akin to LSP so you can bring your own editor. New GPT extensions are coming out daily for Emacs, e.g. https://github.com/xenodium/chatgpt-shell

The movie is worth watching purely to be absolutely amazed at the aesthetic vision Kubrick brought. I re-watched it recently and could not stop thinking about how modern, even futuristic, it still looks for a film from 1968.

No mention of extensibility is a big red flag, and if it isn't open-source it presents the same risk as anyone adopting Atom originally ended up getting burned by.
