I'd say it's more than tangentially related. The blog post is about Richard Stallman, his life, and his contributions; it seems strange to not acknowledge the recent controversy su…

Notable mention: the Apple TV app for macOS. Truly one of the worst experiences I've ever had on the desktop.

I didn't realize how strongly line spacing effected code readability for me -- really glad I saw this.

+1. Really love the organization of this

> Unlike Google they actually listen to their users. They were awesome during youtube-dl debacle. I wouldn't say they were "awesome" during the youtube-dl stuff. They were slow to …

common BSD user vs. common Linux user

I've had success with Ubuntu, Arch, and Neverware on my old plastic Macbooks. All of them were pretty easy to install and I have no major when complaints using them

This is a quick little project I've spent the past few days working on. This page lets you study and observe the functions from Swift Algorithms[0] in real time. The HTML/CSS was g…

That's totally fair. I wish Spotify gave us more granularity in the data we ask for, I don't think we need the blanket permissions a user has to grant us (as someone who just delet…

That's definitely something we're focusing on more now. Like qnsi mentioned, last.fm does a pretty good job of that -- I've been a fan since high school. We, SameTunes, have an adv…

Very good point. I think that's where something like last.fm really shines. Starting off, we focused heavily on comparisons but have branched out since. For example, the stats page…

I agree 1,000%. When building out the platform, efficiency was a foremost consideration. Because of that, each comparison calculation flies. That's a good implementation suggestion…

I appreciate the feedback! I definitely think adding some examples to the homepage is a good feature. This idea was something we, a group of college students, felt was missing from…

I'm in no place to recommend technologies to chose (I'm no expert) but the documentation argument is a good one. There are a lot of articles from the past few decades introducing d…

Good eye and good question! When I first joined, the existing codebase was already built out in PHP on a LAMP stack. I was really opposed to it at first but I've learned to love it…

Hey HN! I'm one of the developers on the SameTunes team. We've spent the whole summer working out of a house to build this platform. We're really proud of the work we've done and h…

I just finished building a dsl to generate html (with css styling) purely in Swift. It's still a little rough around the edges but, as I'm using this for my personal website, it'll…
