I certainly keep a latest-gen console around so that I can play cross-play enabled games with my PC buddies. I don't have the patience or space for another computer, so a console i…

...There was an HN Minecraft server community?

I know someone who wired their turn signal / high beam stalk to need to be pulled while turning the ignition key. Back in the early-mid 90s, my dad had a tiny light switch that nee…

I'm oversimplifying here, but carmakers do need EV divisions to bridge the gap. They need to be independent but be supported by the top of the organization. There's way too many st…

Can you expand on the "at least half" part? On an income of $200k in California, for example, your tax rate is something like 8% (marginal). If you total it up with federal taxes, …

> You absolutely have the choice to avoid implementing bad designs - that's your job! Ha, seems like this someone doesn't know when and where to pick their battles. Yes, sometimes …

Hard agree, I'd rather not leetcode-ify* the health system. Nor do I want to see swaths of businesses dedicated to cracking the medical leetcode interview. *because it really feels…

These do have those flush door handles. They sit flush when the car is locked.

Agreed, but I have my gripes with the system. We waited a long time for Apple Music to come to the infotainment - and even then it's slow, you cannot adjust to a higher music quali…

On a personal level, yes, I'd be much less concerned with China having my data than my own government. On a national scale? Well, I certainly do not want an adversary with an inter…

iOS does not have "Keychain Access" as a named setting or app. MacOS has both Keychain Access as a standalone app, and Passwords as a section in your settings. The latter is dedica…

I really like Apple's implementation of passwords, passkeys, etc. But...I had a hard time explaining this to my mom. She uses it to generate her passwords and fill-in within Safari…

So I have yet to use ChatGPT (I know, I know), but are you able to keep long running threads with it? How does it know context about your app? Are you simply copying and pasting co…

This one hits home, but I also am not sure if it lines up neatly with the definition. I only have significant physical reaction to certain sounds when I'm at my place of residence …

> but because they have such brand cache that they could sell 100m of anything once the market learns about them I partially disagree with this argument. They sold some 10 million …

I am doubtful their VR product will be great if released within this or next year. > Apple Watch got so extremely lucky But given that others have tried and arguably failed to have…

It's better these days with code block support and now accepts Markdown shortcuts. But I haven't given it a chance since before those things were supported :)

My company uses Dropbox Paper which does a few things well: Markdown + embedded images (with captions), and collaborative features. I use Notion for my personal stuff, which suffic…

Anecdotally, I have found that in doing non-urgent root-cause investigations, writing* is the only way for me to think deeply about a problem. My flow looks like: 1. Write the impa…

Thank you!

So I always assumed this was the case for other compiled languages. Is this something special in Golang and/or recently created languages?

Do you have any more details on this? Sounds like a great idea for the rest of my household.

I would not go as far as to say they are getting worse, but two events in recent history piss me off because it makes for a shit customer experience. 1. Getting rid of features lik…

I know this isn't a Motorola phone as a standalone, but the StarTac had an accessory that you can add to the back of the phone which was a PDA. This was probably my favorite thing …
