    For a long time, this was one of my favorite interview questions - it is one of those problems that no candidate will ever fully solve, but you see how they think through problems.…

    From a casual browsing perspective, I liked it. However, it'd be nice to have it pause when you hover over one - or something like that. To get the best of both worlds.

    This is one reason I'm really annoyed they are getting rid of messenger.com and requiring you to go to facebook.com to see your messages. I much prefer going to the specific site f…

    The name Superhuman makes a lot more sense for a company with a suite of AI productivity products. The "Grammarly" name was too focused on their original use case of just improving…

    I enjoyed reading the article, but really wish it had photos to help educate the reader on how to distinguish between crystals and mold.

    I still use Arc as my primary browser. I prefer tabs on the side - I like how you can just drag tabs up and they will be saved (like Bookmarks, but I actually use it) I like pinned…

    Given all of the NextJS hate on here, I feel like I'll get downvoted for saying this...but we run Next.JS, don't host on Vercel - and really don't have many problems at all. That b…

    I was also hoping to see more about how the animations were done here. They look great. I love the shifting camera perspectives.

    To be fair I haven't tried Zen, but Arc still works well. I don't particularly need any new features - so as long as they continue to keep up with timely security patches and Chrom…

    I like that idea. If you opened an article you wanted to read, you could be prompted to pay a few cents. You click "yes", funds are transferred, and you read the article.

    Interesting, although I wouldn't say that's the audience that the author says he's targeting. Also - for most people who had accidents they'd probably rather click on "Dislocated K…

    Yea, but we're early days and I think that will go away as the tools get better. Also - did you watch the sample short films they have?

    It's too bad they don't use more user-friendly URLs like why.is/coffee-stains-darker-at-edges

    One aspect that I feel is ignored by the comments here is the geo-political forces at work. If the US takes the position that LLMs can't use copyrighted work or has to compensate a…

    Although TikTok has said they are gearing up to shut the service down.

    How many accidents do they have per mile driven? How many accidents do ride-share drivers have per mile driven?

    Why should any application be able to crash the OS? Poor OS design.

    A lot of companies also saw spikes in revenue, raised money from investors at sweet terms based on that revenue growth (despite it being unsustainable), and then needed to spend th…

    Probably not. I loved the Expanse, but I loved it from the beginning.

    Twitter is a train wreck. One week notice? No pricing information? No details on how to sign up or migrate to this? No confidence that this won't cause service disruptions? No blog…

    It's mandatory but the car will still operate without it buckled. Many newer cars will beep at you if it isn't buckled, but older cars don't.

    Annoyance 5 is the worst for me: the 5-7 second delay when switching from Mac to phone. I'm usually on my Mac during the day, Zoom calls, Spotify, etc. Then I get a phone call. If …
