There must be a better format and distribution method than this. Ideologically a strong brand name and domain, yet ads every two sentences. Even with ad blocking, there is constant…

I know you probably worked a bunch on the website, but the amount of AI slop and obvious AI design is an immediate turn off for myself. And I’d theorize more “normies” are getting …

I wish I could downvote this. Please don’t do this folks. Editing “guessed” filled inputs when they’re incorrect is a higher UX bar of effort than browser autofill or even just typ…

I assume this is already happening. Incompetence within state actor systems being the only hurdle. The incentive and geopolitic implications is too high to NOT do it. I just pray i…

To throw two pennies in the ocean of this comment section - I’d argue we still lack schematic-level understanding of what “intelligence” even is or how it works. Not to mention how…

Without an enemy (or two) the entire post-1945 identity construct of the USA (and its allies) does not have a purpose. It’s pretty plain and simple.

That would have absolutely been myself, wardriving at 16 (back in the early aughts). Sending nonsensical print jobs and then setting everyone’s clocks to 4:20.

Yes but then that would require consensus on protocol, encoding/decoding, etc., aka the things large companies are the worst at aligning on.

I get it, the service model always shines the brightest in the eye of the revenue calculator. But I have immediate skepticism they’ll be able to execute at a competitive level. The…

Clickbait marketing blog post. Doesn’t belong on FP IMO.

My immediate assumption was the marketing team has defined a “conversation” session time very broadly - “time tab was open” etc

Having written production CSS for 15+ years across everything from global e-commerce Magento sites to new age Next.js RSC projects, I like Tailwind (after much conflict). The piece…

Also at 10, my parents put me on a cross-country flight by myself from PDX to Atlanta (to visit family). Note, this was in 1999, not some bygone era. I imagine there would be an Am…

Wow, they're using Stripe for payments. Here's their API key: pk_live_1vI9jQQVPUd9XXtXEXxRBMDL Just reported them through the generic Stripe contact form (all I could quickly find)…

Great start for a first endeavor. Couple notes: - Would definitely recommend rethinking the header/banner area. Takes up a lot of vertical space and seems unnecessary for such a si…

Weekend project. Got tired of the rough layout and styling of others, so I built a Twitter Bootstrap-powered, mobile optimized reader for Hacker News. Uses the ruby-hackernews gem:…

Retrieves popular JSON/XML-based APIs and caches them. Requires memcached. - Quickly tossed together Sinatra/Ruby/Memcached app to get around API rate limits and shitty availabilit…

On larger monitors, I usually Ctrl and + (Windows and Linux) or ⌘ and + (Mac) which increases the font sizes. Georgia looks awesome at 18-24px.
