Another thought here, perhaps more urgent than the rest: bandcamp or label site links where available, so that you can also promote buying and supporting artists. E.g. https://www.…

This is a "FINALLY!" app for me; something that I've talked about for years among friends, former Rdio colleagues, etc. The soundcloud resolution is hit-or-miss, and I would be int…

It is dramatically easier to send someone a bank transfer in Europe (and I'd imagine, the rest of the world) than it is in the US. All you need is the recipient's IBAN (and sometim…

Does this affect custom domains, or is it only an issue with @fastmail.com accounts?

Re: the gotchas, it's possible that this is due to how the app is architected in combination with how the phone and OS are architected. The input rate of 3D Touch, for example, is …

Having done this (/ currently doing it), I would say: follow your heart. Taking time off to nurture your own projects is a fine and reasonable personal endeavor, but not necessaril…

Yes, but leaks of pre-release iOS software can't be installed on locked phones as a means of unlocking them, so the risk is not nearly the same. If you really want to carry this an…

Not to mention that decompilers exist, and if you're going to go to the extent of desoldering a chip...

To add onto this, in addition to the governmental threat, another point that Cook is trying to make is that security is hard. It's hard for the government, which he backs up by cit…

It's unclear if you're trolling, but assuming you're not, the analogy doesn't work because digital things and physical things behave in fundamentally different ways. In the physica…

The crux of the issue in the article's title assertion, that "US Expats are toxic" isn't because US Citizens personally have to deal with filing extra taxes; it's because the forei…

This sort of thing really depends on the application, and the nice feature provided with the new "force" property is that you can actually distinguish between a "whole finger pad" …

Yep, I'm seeing the same thing -- a DOM attribute with values between 0 and 1. Interesting.

In my experience so far, yes, it will provide unique force values per-touch, though I'm not sure if the quality deteriorates, or at what point it might deteriorate. I don't know ho…

> Finally, the article is also wrong to call Norman the biggest hero on the podium. Completely agree with this. It seems to recenter the conversation away from the (black) folks wh…

Unfortunately not even a shoutout to the nearly-identical Sparkfun project from over 10 years ago... https://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/51

I'm at the "we should start to think about logging" phase of a new project, and the recent "How I store server logs in Google Spreadsheets" post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?…

Not really relevant or helpful to focus on in the context of the overall message. Having been in both hardware and software, I've seen hardware technician positions (filled by "har…

Best ending ever.
