Viewing profile — bool3max

For me it doesn't really compare: with Last.FM all I've gotta do is navigate to my profile and the song I'm _currently_ playing on Spotify is right at the top, I just click it and …

I love clicking on a random person's profile and seeing that they're actively using the account (as in, I can see they're currently listening to a specific song!) they've had for 2…

For me last.fm's value lies in the community aspect: you can leave a comment on any artist, album, or individual track's page. There's not a single other place on the internet wher…

It's not the effort or the lack thereof here that's the issue, but rather the message you're sending by using slop tools to create the design of the advertisement of your research.…

Totally agree, the same fonts at the same pixel sizes often look massively different in different environments. I -love- macOS’ native font rendering, but have been unsuccessfull i…

Why can you not enjoy both the journey and the destination? Surely you find some sub-disciplines of writing code more pleasant than others - can't you just keep doing those manuall…

Are you sure they don’t get sent to Apple as part of some telemetry / diagnostics implementation?

That's wishful thinking. The reality is that your iGPU will be used to decode the video stream of an Unreal game running on a dedicated GPU on some cloud server which you pay a mon…

What’s interesting to me is that no matter how “hidden” the AD indicator may be, my brain always seems to very quickly train itself to swiftly skip such posts when scrolling/browsi…

We really are in the trenches. How is this garbage #1 on the front page of *HN* right now? Even if it was totally legitimate, the "landing page" (its design) and the headline ("Lea…

> Flutter goes out of its way to do that work for you, aiming for a "Cupertino" theme that looks-and-feels pixel-perfect on iOS. Key word _aiming_ lol

In the long run Alphabet will find a way to bar non-vetted browsers from accessing the Internet.

No way people on HN are falling for bait Tweets. We're cooked
