Welp, this changes my 2024 outlook. I've been using Airplane.dev since their first post on HN, and I was repeatedly delighted with the way the product "just worked", I thought they…

This seems like it could be cool, but I would need an actual product screenshot or a demo video on the website to move forward. And the "Learn more" link inside the Your Design Ass…

Agreed, if anything this placebo finding supports your idea that the experience mediates the improvement more than the chemical itself. I once attended a talk by a neuroscientist a…

assuming i was willing to ever interact with a SOAP api in my life which i sure as hell am not ^^^ this killed me. i'm sure everyone who has ever interacted with a SOAP api feels t…

Ten years ago I was told to never use Git submodules. Five years ago I inherited a project that had four repos sharing a Git submodule. Now I tell people to never use Git submodule…

That was my first thought too, but I don't see why that would be categorized as a 'harrowing experience.'

I was struck by this sentence: "I have no message for suffering humanity and, though I was bullied at school and lost my virginity like so many of us used to do in the old days, I …

I really like this. I keep bouncing between text-based todo lists and more visual/kanban tools, so this feels like the best of both worlds. (If I could stand the airtable/notion da…

I would need an example project (the final product and template inside the tool) to give this a try. As it stands you just get dumped into the builder with no guidance whatsoever. …

Could someone explain how this compares to Next.js?

How does one come to that figure?

I do. I met one of the founders about six months ago and got a single serving to try (before they started using the tubes). A couple weeks ago I compared it head to head against st…

I read this as: "We've built our own APIs by automating the purchase process on the state lottery websites."

Buried under the shitty attitude, there is actually a useful comment here. Remember HN is the sum of it's parts. Be a postitive part.

Good idea and nice design. 1. I'd prefer to see monthly pricing. 2. I found the scroll behavior to be quite jarring. Good luck.

It sounds like your QA team believes their purpose is to test that basic functionality is working as intended. This puts the focus on "checking the boxes" and not exploring edge ca…

Allowing their applicant list to be used for unsolicited marketing seems out of character for YC. Has either party confirmed this? I'm skeptical.

I think you mean undercutting , or predatory pricing. Price gouging is when you use a monopolisitic position to charge an unreasonably high amount.

There is a strong assumption here that you could encourage hundreds of people to express their opinion on this someone's shirts. The value for the poster is clear; what is the valu…

I think those are different Dan Grossmans. (Dans Grossman?)

Are the integration tests driven by selenium, phantomjs/casper, or something else?

This article seems to indicate that YC participated in the series A. Is this correct, and has YC done this before?

Please comment or downvote if I shouldn't even feed the trolls or the inept international HN hucksters. The term you are looking for is a "CMS". Good luck.

Same here. Is there an app with traction that helps people like us find fellow hackers to collaborate with. If not, sounds like an idea right there. Want to help build it?

This also drove my crazy. My Temporary Fix: revert to the old school GMail, and select the theme "Preview (dense)".
