You mind showing me an example of a "power user". I've never really paid attention to usernames. Like I'll notice someone's name, out of familiarity. But if I noticed you, it's bec…

It was inevitable given it's a top 7 most popular site. The reality is, the masses, the real world, the average person. Is an asshole. It doesn't reflect in the real world, because…

It may not be a, in denial, hiding their heads in the sand situation. Sometimes a topic gets too popular, it drowns out all the other topics. At that point, aren't they just a glor…

It's a horrendous example. Bears are the same thing as bulls. Just the opposite. You can look like a degenerate wallstreetbets gambler, being a bull, buying puts. You can equally l…

This is cool. Could there be a way to sort by newest?

Interesting novel concept. With something like subreddits, people congregate because of a common interest. There's a clear topic on what people should be chatting about. I don't kn…

May I provide feedback. The underline on every post, makes it hard to read.

"I’m Niki. Here I write about programming and UI design" I'd imagine he thought the blog was mostly going to be about UI. "Haha, a blog talking about UI, with bad UI. Isn't that fu…

Once you try the dark mode, you'll realize the irony is done on purpose. Edit: I'm not implying it's a good thing. It's a joke that did not drop. Given the audience is trying to re…

Oh wow TIL. Thanks, that is amazing. I just looked it up. 2023 was when it started. I'm surprised Android even allows something like this.

I'm genuinely curious. What does FireFox mobile have over it's competition? You can't install UBlock Origin on mobile. Like I still use FireFox on mobile, just purely out of habit.…

This 3% number is deceptive. The whole desktop market is cratering. I was talking to a reddit mod a few months ago. He was looking at the subreddit stats. 95% of his users were on …

Please enlighten me. How does one make a browser "better" these days? - They were ahead of the game with extensions. Then everyone copied them. - They were ahead of the game with t…

It's not that deep lol. Half the readers here work for the FANGS. "Don't talk shit about the hand that feeds you" and all that.

You bought up a lot of points. And I think they are all negligible, compared to the gigantic elephant in the room. Which is, in order for some rando to fix the bug; a company would…

"It has a million buttons, layers are a thing, there's a million tools, etc. No, they can't just pick it up because it's complex software for a complex problem domain." See this is…

No I think we are on the same page. The people who specialized in non-software domain, and wrote their own projects, are amazingly talented. They are not specializing in 1 field. T…

See, I feel this is where programmers just don't "get" good UI design. Photoshop is good UI design. A normie can use photoshop the same way they use MS paint. Albeit it just loads …

"If Excel was simpler and had an intuitive UI, it would be worthless." Excel is a simple intuitive UI. I use 10% of Excel. I don't even know the 90% of what it's capable of. It hid…

It sounds like you are a Linux UI designer. Which is a rare thing in this space. Linux is rough around the edges, to say the least. You don't need me telling you. We are in a threa…

I think you're tackling this in the wrong direction. Encourage your kid to be a creator. Not a consumer. If he's busy building things, he has less time to be consuming things. Give…

I think the better analogy is newspapers vs tv. In the old days, people who read newspapers looked down on the people who stared at the "boob tube". People who consume long-form yo…

Chatgpt is just an aggregate of how the terminally online, talk, when they have to act professional. Chatgpt is hardcoded to not be rude (or German So when you say, "people will st…

It's a thing. Google "fake job interview crypto hacks". It's been a thing for a while. I saw the title, was like "Hmm, Hacker News is actually late to the party for once". I think …
