It's funny this post was AI generated.

It's hard to replicate the "coolness" factor though of a true studio control board. It begs to be touched and knobs beg to be turned...

Designing 3D real-world interactions for 2D screens is fun. Literally fun. Rarely useful.

This isn't the most robust characterization. For people with medium and high end devices, SPAs are mostly fine. For those with low end devices (which is a large part of the world),…

Underrated comment.

Their status page is all green, but logs for multiple apps have this in the logs: rror.message="could not find a good candidate within 90 attempts at load balancing. last error: un…

my dream neighborhood. I wonder if all the garages are just stuffed with a bunch of crap and people keep the planes parked in the driveway.

You can always roll your own. When someone else rolls it for you, they are free to decide what can and cannot exist there. If you built your own shopping mall, you could decide whe…

So you're saying that if a company is successful they should be penalized? That sounds like an awful incentive structure for any industry. The standard for anti-trust is that the c…

I wonder how many people here are throwing stones while living in glass houses.

Good point. I do think then we should be careful then attributing _to_ something without proof.

A magazine is not interactive. It's a unidirectional feedback flow. Magazine photos are also at a specific higher standard than the totality of Instagram pictures. IOW, they are no…

An independent study of the effects of Social Media (instagram, FB, TikTok, whatever) needs no insider information. We're studying the effect, not the company. Hypothesis: Instagra…

In said study, Facebook acknowledges problems with the study itself as do other researchers without a dog in the fight. Let's see an independent study show the same thing.

Nope. I just don't believe hyped up spin; especially when the deliverers of the content are biased. I like research, and facts.

Most of her claims make a gigantic leap to conclusions. I'm asking for a source that shows, for example, a suicide that was _because_ of Facebook. Radicalization trends as another …

Source on those claims? Not "the media" but actual sources that haven't been debunked?

I feel this way about HN. I open it every day, and check back far more than Facebook. Maybe we'll have a senate hearing someday about HN. :P

Except like all of these services, people actual do engage more with a curated feed. I just wish there were at least an option to go chronological.

yeah good point. I've used this on a project and this shaved off >150ms of critical path rendering... much better user experience. awesome to not have this officially supported. Ti…

HN killed it.

I don't know. I use next.js and love it. But I have to implement two static methods for every thing I want to fetch... This also locks me into next.js...

no didn't see it. Just not so easy to be sure that the feedback the reader gives will help me get my script purchased. It says that you will option the script if recommended by rea…

I heard about it at Fantasia Film Festival. I am hoping to see some feedback on it. I think it sounds very interesting but kind of sounds too good to be true ...
