Indeed. Is there a word or phrase where the outcome of your actions is the exact opposite of your stated goal or motivation? Closest I can think of is destroying the village to sav…

That's a very interesting comparison thanks. Hard to believe one is 87g and the other is ~800g and there's not much in-between!

As a dabbler in startup punditry (I've written a couple of books on startup positioning), I find Jerry's take very thought provoking. The crux of the issue for me is what Dr Iain M…

Welp, my bad. Apologies!

Really? In that case I retract the statement and will ponder what AI has done to my ability to assess this kind of writing!

But it is AI! Or, at least, it's been run through it. (Staccato sentences; Not X. Not Y. Z...) It's a shame for a personal reflection. It's hard to imagine what the (I'm guessing) …

The most egregious bug/s I've encountered in recent years is the utterly cursed tab management in iOS Safari. A couple of times a year it will just nuke all my open tabs (450-500) …

The emoji picker refusing to be summoned drives me up the wall. There's a dedicated key for it! And yet...

Thanks, I'll check out Arq! I use BackBlaze's backup service too, but want something local.

I've used Time Machine for years with a cheap HD hanging off an old Airport Extreme, until today, incidentally. MacOS had started warning that this approach won't be supported in t…

I don't mean to be rude but this idea that there's some decisive, authoritative data vs. sketchy anecdotal claims kind of drives me up the wall. What data would or could exist in t…

Just published this book after 2.5 years of writing and would LOVE any feedback + reviews from HN folks in the B2B world. In a nutshell, it's about the market in product/market fit…

'The best posture is the next posture,' as they say.

Fellow OCD-ish charge watcher here. Has worked great for my aging iPhone. What grinds my gears though is the AirPods. I have AirPods Pro that I want to last a long time, but out of…

Yeah, in this case, from memory, the spec author had a list of class names from a scraped HTML data set. He looked at the most common classes — nav, header, footer, and so on — and…

A decade ago, in an act of extreme futility, I wrote a book about HTML5. I did the mailing list archaeological dig to discover the logic behind these and other new (at the time) el…

Reminiscent of the extremely cool ‘wearable tech’ art of Ikeuchi Hiroto: https://www.instagram.com/_ikeuchi/

That's really fascinating, thanks so much! I like the sound of your two cycle pitch approach -- kind of putting 'measure twice, cut once' into practice. And I admire your ability t…

Unfortunately that scenario only works if there’s a ‘fair’ long/short game beneath the fraud, but the fraud is such that that is not the case: Remember Folks: Don't short Tether, o…
