I'd really like to see some FE folks kicking around what sorts of new form elements they'd put into HTML 6. I miss WinForms, component libraries, Silverlight, WPF, that sort of thi…

> cross platform GUIs are ugly by default, compared to fully native desktop apps, because they don't entirely replicate the affordances or the style of the platform; I think this i…

It’s true. I was more expressing a sentiment than suggesting a course of political or legislative action. I await my punishment.

As a Pasco county alumni, I think we should drop the people who want to drain the everglades off in the everglades and leave them in there until they gain an appreciation for the s…

I’m not a hacker but I really appreciate their ethos. It’s like punk. I’m not punk either. But I will defend it all with my dying breathe.

God bless a capital I with crossbars.

I think it has the prettiest UI of the era, including Apple’s.

This was the first programming language I got paid to code in. It really did look like line noise. Good times.

I can't tell if you're aiming for a faithful reproduction of the original font, or to make the coding font modern and most useful to today's developer. But... Can the code variant …

Well, law alone hasn't stopped presidents from bombing citizens, so I don't see how it'd stop them from deporting them, either.

I found this video to be very educational. How Africa’s Geography Traps it in Endless Poverty https://youtu.be/Y8m95sCDEf0?si=vA5u5DEnFBzP5s1E

What goes into your sense organs is just as meaningful, and capable of causing unwanted and lasting change or trauma, than what somebody does to your physical body. Intellectual fo…

There's too much overtly political content on HN, and it trends towards liberal, anti-Trump, etc. I agree with it about half the time. But the other half of the time it's like some…

Pff. HN has rebranded to become the DOGE News Network. If you want a more curated technical experience, I recommend https://lobste.rs . There's much less latitude for non-technical…

I hate to be a hater, but having built myriad gaming PCs in my time, this doesn't really seem like much of a step forward. I'm hoping it's just the beginning. I'd love a modular pl…

I'm 50. Yes. "It's about trying to come up with a working solution in a problem domain that you don't fully understand and don't have time to understand." This has been my trick fo…

Honest question, what is the point of this? I think it's cool that you can reproduce "what the pilots saw". But what pilots see is, to us laymen, really super boring. And there is …

Do Americans? Does it matter? They either can't or won't do anything to stop it.

I think sometimes guidance like this is more about the organization than the customers. This is true for all sorts of things: application development, disaster relief, etc.

Everyone is going to buy one of these as soon as they can ship them to them, so if the thumb sticks could not be intentionally engineered to fail this time, that would be great, th…

I'm not claiming this is true, only that it's how I think about it. All forms of public performance, including blogging, youtubing, singing, dancing, etc. are dominated by the Pare…
