Same. My professors did this because they wanted you to not be spending your time and energy writing notes during class but instead following the lesson and asking questions.

They remade them for Switch. Some people claim Wargroove is a spiritual successor but I didn’t like it nearly as much

I think the assumption is that everyone is carrying a bag now anyway. When the GBA came out, most people were still not carrying mobile phones so you had a pocket free besides wallet and keys

It really was the peak of Windows in terms of usability, aesthetics, and speed.

This is a great point - behind the TV persona as the Tool Man, Tim’s character was a pretty competent and genuine father

But even if you remove that element - something I think all of us can relate to is loving a sport or a hobby so much as a kid that you use every free moment you have doing it, practicing it, getting better at it. I felt a similar way about

Different Bluey episodes resonate with different people for different reasons, but the Cricket episode from Season 3 is just about as perfect an episode of a kid's show as I've ever seen. In about 7 minutes it manages to tackle ho

Yeah this is why I chose Fastmail when migrating off Gmail - I needed something more usable, not private

I think the trend should be away from these cloud providers in general and to smaller companies that offer both a paid service and a self hosted option as a way of providing you with an exit strategy. Ente is a good example of this
250.
by sylens 2y ago
If you haven’t used it I would try and kick the tires through your company. It’s a pretty powerful tool to put multiple cloud providers under a single pane of glass and normalize security terminology across them. And that’s before you get i

You wonder if Wiz is having second thoughts about IPO just as we go into recession
252.
by sylens 2y ago
Wiz is an incredible product that I was hoping would go public and become a fairly independent powerhouse

Any politician that suggests solutions to declining birth rates that do not tackle the economic realities facing most couples of childbearing age should be immediately ignored. You can’t raise children when you’re underwater on student loan

Yeah Threads feels like a flipped house; pretty finishes and big open concept rooms that draw you in before you can realize its all a facade and full of engagement bait

The inflection point was iOS

I like the vertical tabs but would it have killed them to leave a little more padding at the top of the window so we had something to grab onto? Safari is pretty minimal as well but leaves a little real estate at the top.

Digg v4 was a huge deal in how badly it was designed and rolled out

You just know that the AI will leak out of 'moderation' use cases and into ginning up content and affecting your feed.

It’s a great language, it just lacks the wealth of online tutorials and bootcamps that the JS ecosystem had to get a generation hooked

The bar they need to clear right now seems to be Wipr2

The observation that Doom was on more PCs than Windows was very astute. Doom was everywhere at the time - it was not uncommon to find the shareware on computers inside many typical office jobs

Interesting to see this pop up on HN because this topic has dominated some sports circles over the last year- the NBA has become unwatchable for some, as teams like last year’s champion, the Boston Celtics, just throw up three’s constantly,

My problem is that its an annual cost. When I dabbled in Android development, I think I paid a one-time fee of $25. That's a cost I can swallow for someone who wants to release apps for free. If I have to pay $100 a year, I need to mak

While I agree with your points in principle, the paywall may act as a way for them to handle spam/misuse more effectively

To be fair, the mid 00's was the transition time from the open web to the platform times we live in now. There was no immediate reason to distrust a social media site based on the social media sites that had come before it. After all,

I may want to pause my run for certain reasons - one time I came across a woman whose dog got off the leash so I helped him corral him before continuing on. There's also times I want to skip a song on my playlist because it's not

That might have changed in recent years - I can import workouts to Strava that are recorded by my Apple Watch
268.
by sylens 2y ago
The Apple Watch is also a terribly designed device for running. Too much of its functions rely on interacting with the touchscreen, something you are either unable to do with sweaty hands when running or don't want to do as it draws yo

While I have no particular love for Tiktok, I hope this serves as an educational moment for younger generations about putting all of your trust in apps and app store gatekeepers instead of the open web.

Relieved that they are just iterating instead of trying to go for something radically different like they did. Everybody is pretty happy with the current feature set, just add some stuff and get a nice power upgrade in there and you're
