I feel like the increased reviewing time is consistently understated. I’m just an IC, but it seems obvious to me that you cannot cut staff and achieve increased output. There liter…

I’ve had a longstanding belief that big tech purposely over-employed because it denied resources to competitors. This gave them a velocity edge despite being big and bureaucratic. …

Probably nothing and it’ll also do nothing for the many people whose lives were drastically impacted by those cuts.

Turnstile feels bad as a user. Every site that I’ve seen it long will lock up Safari hard while it’s doing whatever it’s doing. But at least I haven’t run into more than 2 refresh …

I got two emails from Google recently. One saying, “You’re now using Gemini on web” and the other saying, “Welcome to Gemini” I never signed up for Gemini and I see nothing in thos…

Same. Google Maps quality has gotten noticeably worse these past 2 years for me. It routinely tries to navigate me to making impossible turns or taking weird and sometimes more dan…

Took long enough. Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t see them say how invested they are in tackling this. Promoting a rule is one thing, but everything SEO related becomes a cat and m…

Oh, so I’m not imagining this. Recently, I’ve tried to up my LLM usage to try and learn to use the tooling better. However, I’ve seen this happen with enough frequency that I’m jus…

Does it? It only takes like 2 min for my electric kettle to boil. If I was a more avid coffee/tea drinker, I’d get one of the always heated hot water dispensers that are common in …

Dunno how long this is normally supposed to go but it took me 10+ min of actually seriously considering the fonts at each choice and the final suggestion is a font that I actively …

Yes, at least in my experience on flights in the USA. It’s very rare but it does happen. I was lucky one time that the person doing it sat next to me and I politely asked them to u…

This is quite wrong? There are some features that get blocked from being implemented because Wayland refused to define a protocol for everyone to implement. Window positioning bein…

Fi’s customer service has long since turned to shit, but the things keeping me on it are the data sims, simple international roaming, and international calling. That trifecta is pr…

(Don’t take this as advice. Just writing my own experience with this.) This is the reason why I take the time to summarize all “why” decisions and implementation tradeoffs being ma…

IMO, the spirit of the idea is to put higher information density fields first, and let that smooth out the UX for the remaining fields as you go downwards. Yes, there will be excep…

While I commend Ars and the author for taking responsibility, I am a bit off put by the wording used for the retraction on the original article: https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/02/…

Another fascinating thing that the Reddit thread discussing the original PR pointed out is that whoever owns that AI account opened another PR (same commits) and later posted this …

Ah I see. That didn’t translate well for me. Maybe because the title primed me into thinking that this was meant to be helpful.

Something about the tone of the article just makes me want to write a retort / criticism instead of praising the advice. Maybe it’s because it feels like an incomplete list or that…

Linking related post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46818467 AFAIK, removing Antheas from Bazzite opened the door to discussions for forming the OGC. Prior to that, Antheas …

I’ll be honest and say that while I agree, I’d be one of those who’d get significantly burned financially if this were to happen. Having made significant lifestyle cuts to eventual…

I’m guessing this is related to and corroborates this early flagged article? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46777652

I think it isn’t mod actions but rather the very likely fact that there is a small, but large enough group of flaggers who will act in unison to remove any such post from the front…
