I had a different experience: after some updates, around build 7 or 8 I lost cellular connectivity completely. It said there wasn't carrier data available and that I should update. To update, I needed to verify the download... which fa

I mostly read the stories with high score (or comments), so with this script I get notifications on Discord (via webhook) for new posts above a certain score and it links to both the shared URL and to the HN comments. It takes the stories v

Sure, it's easy to drown people with a link and a 210 pages document, but can you briefly explain it with your own words and voice your opinion for us?

If there's one thing Google does right it's fragmentation :)

Just in case someone wants to know, if you got to this bot without looking at their page, it's paid, it doesn't tell you anything about it, and after using it for ~two weeks it stops working and asks you to pay 39 usd per month.

It's also not clear how it will be used later. It could be used to crop/remove watermarks or copyright messages, and I wouldn't develop it if that's its purpose.

> High frame rates are beautiful Yes, but it all depends on what you are seeing. Games look fantastic, VR probably looks great. For movies, I'd stick with 24 fps, as it keeps the "style" of film. Subtle things like the mot

Introduction to algorithms[1] is a great book to improve how you think about code and the way you implement your solutions. Even if you are a seasoned programmer you'll find it useful. [1]: https://mitpress.mit.edu/book

A good thing about this (being an open source project) is that anyone can fix it and create a PR :D

Building a useful client is a way to build on the platform . It's giving the users an alternative to use your platform... Twitter is so afraid of losing their users that it's becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.

What they are saying is that eventually this site will be removed because Google is constantly killing their own projects after a couple of years.

It's an interesting idea, but the UI looks really... well, not standard. And I definitely didn't like that there is no link to the youtube videos, which is the only thing I'd like to get without having to inspect the page (an
