Yeah, it's really odd and circular. You can often present a lease agreement if you're renting an apartment or house. If you own, you can usually present a mortgage statement. If you own and don't have a mortgage (because you

I grew up in Michigan. My 9th grade English teacher, who was very strict about grammar, nearly caused me to fall out of my chair one day when she said “warshed” instead of “washed”. It was very unusual both for our part of the country and

OK, serious question - why stream the music? Why not just sync between your computer and phone once a day or week or however often you obtain new music? Then if you don’t have a network connection, you can still listen to all of your music.

Are you? I kind of try to avoid going to doctors and particularly hospitals and ER/EDs as much as possible. Between people with contagious illnesses, and huge amounts of wasted time, I have very little incentive to use as much healthca

Can you elaborate on this? (If it's too traumatic to talk about no worries. I'm just curious.) If I recall when my spouse changed her name after we got married, she also had to send in the appropriate government documentation. Are

That's certainly one way to look at it. I see it a little differently. With video games, for example, when I had to buy a game to see if I liked it, I'd mostly just buy the big hits that a lot of people liked or smaller games that

I want that for pop music, too! I don't understand why Apple (and other companies) don't get that there are users who want to slice and dice music in this way for every genre. When I go looking for "No-one is to blame" b

Yeah, I think this nails it. I think about the non-trivial parts of writing code, and I think about all the previous failed attempts at this sort of thing, and I remain unimpressed so far. I think specifically about things like optimization

Backwards compatibility on macOS is quite good. Whenever Apple breaks compatibility, they give a lot of notice, mark the functions in the headers as deprecated, then wait a fair amount of time before actually removing them. For apps that ar

I guess it depends on your ideas of simple vs. easy. I find a GUI simple because I can explore it to see the options if I’m a little lost. The Unix command line is exceedingly difficult to get useful information out of if you don’t already

I don’t understand. Why aren’t the notes in the app? I can already search for language information on the web. But I’d prefer it was just in the language learning app I’m using already.

Thanks! I read about it previously on HN, but haven’t had a chance to check it out. I’m going to do that now. For what it’s worth, I have learned stuff with Duolingo, but it could be so much more (for me) if they’d get feature parity with s

I have severely mixed feelings about Duolingo. I can't imagine paying more than I already do for the "Super" option. If you're trying to learn Spanish or French, it seems like a pretty full-featured app. Unfortunately, I
