    I recently did the same thing, as 95% of my incoming call volume in a week was spam calls. It's been great. The friction I feel is when interacting with ephemeral contacts like con…

    1000%. The number of times I’ve tried to go straight to the correct well factored abstraction and it worked out are countable on one hand. This is one of those pieces of advise tha…

    Oh interesting. I actually find custom docs sites (mermaid.js was the most recent one for me) seem to be the ones that break most commonly for me in Firefox but work in Chrome and …

    The most recent ones that I ran into seem to have been fixed based on a quick check. mermaid.js docs site was one of them where nothing on the page was clickable (I think Firefox w…

    I unfortunately do not have a running list. The one that made me drop Firefox last time was the mermaid.js docs site. None of the sidebar navigation was clickable but only on Firef…

    I have tried to switch quite a few times over the years to Firefox and I still to this day consistently run into websites that are unusably broken on Firefox, do you have the same …

    I was recently introduced to the “lottery factor” as a less morbid alternative. As in, if one of us won the lottery tomorrow and quit on the spot what would happen.

    I would venture to guess that 80%+ of the handles are the same on both, enough for the graph to be useful especially for the more popular accounts. If not I bet there’s enough othe…

    I'd estimate less than 25% overlap between my social graph on Twitter and Meta so building a account recommendation system based on my graph from Twitter would be mighty useful. Ag…

    I'm not sure I follow. I'd estimate there's less than a 25% overlap between my Twitter social graph and my Meta (instagram + facebook) social graph. If I was going to build a syste…

    I'm not arguing that... I'm saying that my follower graph for facebook (mostly family) and instagram (mostly friends and diy etc) looks very different than my Twitter graph because…

    100% I think this is the most likely case. I just noticed a couple things, explicit follower graph/following data called out in the letter and the timing and abruptness of the rate…

    Comment #36622179

    Totally... the only thing I can be convinced of is my Twitter social graph looks quite different from my Instagram and Facebook graphs. The letter explicitly calls out follower gra…

    Comment #36622139

    I disagree... follower graph would be pretty important to bootstrap a Twitter like experience. My follower graph on Twitter looks quite different than Instagram or Facebook. The le…

    Really? Maybe I'm in an A/B test but on mobile for me every page load pops up a dialog that says "this looks better in the app" and they only load a limited number of comments and …

    Ask HN: Parents, How do you record special moments and stay present?

    I have been struggling with the tension between wanting to record special moments with my family and staying present to enjoy the moment in real time. I'm afraid the answer to this…

    Yeah that makes sense. To me it felt unintuitive that environment was global and only copied on server start, with a few exceptions, and not session start but that was likely just …

    Comment #35022530

    Yes that should work. In our case we have a few different windows/panes that all want the same environment so it made sense to reach for export as a way to ensure the environment w…

    Comment #35022387

    At least to me, it seemed most intuitive to not have a global server environment and always copy the environment when starting a new session not just on server start and have the e…
