    Hey, so it's a bit obvious you vibe coded this, which makes me not want to trust it. Some red flags: - The Apple icon is a literal apple and not the Apple logo. - You've got 2 Mac …

    Come on, don't be mean. Imagine saying this in person to someone who just told you they got scammed. "You're just extremely gullible" is just so mean...show some empathy.

    I'm pretty sure the comment wasn't a joke? I saw the stream last week, it was very impressive use of AI, I didn't realize it was AI until he started talking about doubling crypto. …

    The "How" got dropped off the title, it's an article explaining what this guy wants, not an article saying Google turned Android into anything.

    It might be worth considering just changing the rules for the pawn to deal with this. It's hard to tell what it means to move "forward" on a board like this, even after understandi…

    I remember learning that you get about 100ms for a basic UI interaction before a user perceives it as slow. And you get about 1s for a "full page navigation", even if it's a SPA, u…

    You need time zones to tell what's "early" or "late" in a place. If you're planning to call someone far away, picking a time "during work hours" becomes very difficult without time…
