    But OP asked for content not about AI. If you have content not about AI, wouldn't that be more helpful and to the point of the request? We're drowning in AI slop and slop about AI,…

    OP asked for blogs not about AI. You shared a blog you wrote about AI.

    Show HN: Loft gives thumb-keys and split-layout on a standard laptop or keyboard

    I've put up a homepage for my keyboard layout, LOFT, and thought I'd share in case anyone found it interesting... LOFT is free on macOS and remaps your laptop and standard keyboard…

    God. "Freedom of speech" and "free of abuse?" Sounds like a nightmare! Liberals!! Where are the spaces anymore to be outlandishly an asshole and shut other people down?! :-|

    I have trouble caring about what someone says about typography when they've chosen abnormally excessive letterspacing which makes reading awkward and effortful.

    I think the gotchas aren't for the early adopters and power users. It's for the people who will eventually make up the larger, more lucrative percentage of their user base starting…

    Users do. I spent a whole summer A/B testing an app's landing page to get 10+% more conversions. Over 50 experiments, the biggest win was having a hero image. Its actual content di…

    While I agree with "not wanting separatism," I find it infuriating that the burden of analyzing and debating "separatism" (or etc) always gets foisted on the minority or marginaliz…

    The author literally gives an individual reason why about half the books should be read by everyone and the other half by many based on their interests. What are your objections?

    Not original commenter, but some examples of Android's superior UI/UX: - "Back" action is consistent and not in a different spot in each app. - Notifications are more actionable, o…

    Fwiw, "rape x" is exactly what I read your email as before I read the other comment saying the same.

    Yes to Colemak! Easier transition from Qwerty, more efficient ergonomics, most common shortcuts are the same or similarly positioned! I switched about 14 years ago and so happy I d…

    Shame on them both then. And your comment. Defending toxicity is toxic. I think it is fair to make assumptions about the type of person someone is and the material they put out int…

    I won't deign to pick apart your defense of disgusting toxicity, throwaway681 other than to say shame on you for going out of your way to defend it.

    What happens when someone spends all their labor-earned money on whiskey or oxy and consumes it all and is then hungry?

    You'd rather an ad-network, or you just expect people to share, give, and benefit you for free, or...is there another option? Kudos to the author for providing value and getting co…

    The U.S. (and others') military may be, by definition, a resource that isn't inherently good or bad. But the military is most certainly good or bad in actuality (i.e. the real worl…

    I'd say by any definition of "We can at least all agree on a definition" that I'd accept, we can either all agree on the definition of both or neither. If both, we're discussing th…

    Why can't I navigate the world without running across hideous, overly sexualized imagery of women at irrelevant, random times?

    Immediately obvious it's probably a pun but as a native English speaker, I can't tell if it's: - a blog author saying they personally can't support the sale, calling out icann who …
