I figure there's value in sharing why one would not want to use something that's being shared/offered here. Hacker News is a discussion platform. People submit ideas with the expectation that the community would find them int

The word "ASCII" was a grotesque, artistic verbal presentation choice for the substance of content I intended to convey :) I figured it supports UTF-8. I believe the gist of my point is still valid. Images are content. Layout is c

I gather from your text that you perceive images to be presentation and monochrome monospace text to be content. Isn't all expression in a nutshell an act of presenting content ? Is emphasis content, or is it presentation? What abou

I will never understand why all these minimalist content publishing systems pretend that visual imagery is unnecessary. Humans have expressed themselves in images long before they have expressed themselves in text. Any system that forces hu

Why can't dishwashers just be small, single-dish appliances in which you put the plate/mug/wine glass/forks/whatever, close it, push a button, and 10 seconds later it's clean and dry, you unload and repeat?

Every single developed country today touting moral rights has its foundation in those "wrongs". Its citizens gleefully consuming the resources those "wrongs" have created, so they can preach morality online. It is the na

He's not the only person being compensated at United Healthcare though. I've asked this in a different thread, but I'll repeat it here: how much of the remaining "operational expenses" actually add meaningful value

The 6% is just the shareholders' cut, right? How much of the remaining "operational expenses" actually add meaningful value to the patients' healthcare?

One thing that makes the established AIs less ideal for my (programming) use-case is that the technologies I use quickly evolve past whatever the published models "learn". On the other hand, a lot of these frameworks and languages

This is amazing. It's amusing that you can be Roland or Yamaha and have decades of experience building digital pianos and all sorts of other digital music devices, yet even your high-end digital pianos that sell for $3000+ do not have

If only, if only Gemini had embedded images and a decent layout engine to position those. This isn’t new to HTML. Medieval books had embedded images. Heck even ancient manuscripts had embedded images that were beautifully laid out. I simply

I generally sign my documents using macOS’s built in Preview app. I guess I pay for it when I purchase a MacBook but I get a whole lot more value. What do web apps like DocuSign offer that Preview doesn’t?

I do not like the mandate because I prefer the lightning connector as the objectively better connector. I’m always amused when people say they don’t see a difference. The difference to me is significant.

More of an attempt to give a kid a communication device that doesn’t make it too easy and pleasant to be distracted from real life.
