Must be a placeholder? But you briefly made me think it was some sort of Apple-specific currency. We really aren’t that far away from “Apple Bucks” are we?

What's the exact mechanism of failure here? How does a minor fuel spill result in a fire?

I can't believe this is it. But this is it. Too bad there's no quick toggle to turn it back on? It's possible to create a shortcut for it maybe. I currently have a back tap bring up a menu of different shortcuts I use. Shortc

HOLY shit. You just changed my life. You're absolutely right. It fixed the exact problem I could never quite pin down. I guess the keyboard was always a bit too eager to detect a swipe? This is absolutely nuts edit: i can type withou

Because the exact same feature is available on the Android version. No other ios keyboard has it. And the default ios keyboard doesn't have it. I'm not sure of another reason.

Oh and it's distinctly worse on the iOS 26 beta. Certain text boxes (like HN) are a nightmare. I used to smoothly type without looking on iOS. It was like magic. Now, it's just a mess. I think gboard on Android is the current top

Veritasium is another popular creator that would overlap with the HN audience. It deliberately uses different thumbnails and titles when videos are new. It's a human (afaik) using the A/B suggestions in the back end. So it's

That's what the subscriptions feed is. But in practice (when one subscribes to a lot of creators) it isn't always useful.

The article mentions "Technology Connections titled 'Algorithms Are Breaking How We Think'" I'm a huge fan of the channel, and that video is mostly great and insightful. But his being "puzzled" at the way

Pretty sure it's limited due to iOS. Because it does allow period to be added.

It's crippled though. You can't do something simple like have the comma on main view.

iOS must have changed some things related to keyboards. On an iPhone many years ago it was definitely a better experience. I’m not sure if some sort of predictive text gets in the way or what. Or maybe something with the spacing. Or it also

Why are notifications on iOS such a nightmare? It’s impossible to properly read just a selection or to quickly dismiss many at once.

And as far as I can tell, he engaged primarily in peaceful verbal and written debate. That should be our political ideal.

People are a lot more supportive of war when it’s so far removed. People hear of kids dying in “bombings” but ignore the reality that it means they were: crushed, burned to death, dismembered, etc etc.

I'm surprised Apple hasn't used the strap to extend the battery life. Is that a thing with an aftermarket strap or for phones from other providers?

This is an awesome piece. I also like the style - maybe I just miss the way things were in 2007 online.

I think the rolling stock may be stationary right now. Updates relying on stationery.

$2 bills?? You’re gonna get the occasional one who thinks you’re scamming them. It’s crazy that Canada, being so similar to the US, got rid of the 1 and 2 like 30 years ago.

ok. The comment was about Toronto in general rather than just downtown. Snowfall near the lake can be lower because of the mediated temperature. (Unlike south of the lake like in Buffalo were you can get high lake-effect snow). In a dense

> "to start finding music titles across your favorite streaming services" But it isn’t this… so I don’t think we are saying the same thing. As for someone saying the name etc: you’re missing how people can converse now with mul

Since when does google give your primary sources for simple queries? You have to wade through all the garbage. At least an LLM will give you the general path and provide sources.

by whycome 1y ago
Not just court cases. But so many situations where the primary sources are relevant. Most recently, I’ve seen journalists refer to questionable social media posts that they frame in a certain way but the actual posts don’t align with that

I don’t understand what “more music” (“more songs”) means in this context or why it’s relevant. Edit: I think you’re misinterpreting the use of this tool. It’s not to find tracks across your music services. It’s for when people share links

So much of the research and the general understanding is just conflated with cigarettes as the delivery type. They present a bunch of problems: the smoke and other chemicals makes it damaging in a lot of ways. People sometimes swap the term

Wait, you’re just repeating general empty statements. Why isn’t nicotine on its own good for you? A raised heart rate and BP for a period isn’t a bad thing. It’s an expected response from any stimulant. I mean, sex and exercise also cause

If i open a .mp3 file on my computer, it will open my local preferred audio player. It could have the same functionality as treating the resource as a 'file'
