The responses so far say so much about the HN audience. As a mobile app designer, developer, I'll throw in some higher level tools that I love: - Figma - Slack - VS Code - DataGrip…

That’s a super neat idea! I have a feeling the inevitable solution to this need will be a combo of a tech like Apple’s Center Stage and some sort of eye-focusing alteration to the …

Another +1 for Figma. I use a plugin called Motion ( https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/889777319208467032 ). I've not animated diagrams, but no reason you couldn't. Here's a g…

They need a firm launch date because of the cascading research windows already allocated, but there are 344 single points of failure, and it will be virtually impossible to fixed o…

No-scope is a gaming term for sniping someone from a sniper rifle without zooming in using the scope. Very difficult to do, and this is a weird application of the phrase. 230 about…

I'm confused about something and hope someone here can clear it up. A threat of stopping the sale unless the US gets paid "a substantial amount of money" sounds like extortion to m…

Haha, what? Warren Buffett is probably the smartest investor of all time. He will be remembered forever. Sometimes we get wrapped up in what we personally know and think that every…

Here’s another link that shows the musicians. You’re right they are having a blast. Thanks for sending me down this rabbit hole this morning. https://youtu.be/pdsyNwUoON0

I find this fascinating. For me, the lifelong learning is a chore, completed in order to do what I love: creating things. And watching people use my creations to do things they cou…

You just described a good CEO. Considering you limited it to engineers and designers, maybe a miniature CEO.

2,020 is under Elon's 2,500 prediction, but well above the 1,000-1,500 expectations of those shorting the stock (unless the shorts' articles were deliberately misleading, of course…
