While not great, the virtual cards are an improvement, unless your kid and you never play the same games. One Switch gets to be the home console and doesn't need checks. The other …

The limit is per-user, not per-editor. Every process under your UID shares the same max_user_watches pool. So the editor's "prioritize open files" behavior can't help when a reside…

Have you checked your fs.inotify.max_user_watches value? Maybe your value is too low and Zed can't watch the files that are changing. I know the JetBrains IDEs need the default to …

Nintendo Switch cartridges don't have this problem, mostly. It's the reason I buy physical for the family library. Nintendo's digital licensing is terrible (slightly less so with V…

If you click the “favorite” link it’ll be saved to your list of favorites. But, it doesn’t actually have to be your favorite —- it’s just a user-defined collection of HN posts.

I usually just amend commits as I go and don’t find it all that onerous. Sometimes it gets tricky, particularly if a rebase effectively changes what the code would have looked like…

Thanks for mentioning this. It seemed odd to me, too, so I spent some time trying to work it out. As a reviewer, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to assess database or API changes wit…

I mean an application that does more than what I can do in a mobile web browser. If it's just a web page I'd rather just do responsive web design. Presumably you've developed this …

Thanks for answering. Is there an example project you can share? I'd love to see this in action.

I bootstrapped two companies in my 20s. While living off savings to get going, $20k in medical would have been the end of that venture. I'm glad it's working out for you. I don't h…

It's an interesting idea, but it's hard to tell what the native parts are. The home page has a section titled "Native Targets" with an arrow icon that looks like it'd go to some do…

Microsoft already switched its release support to the "series" model. There are still big games coming out on PS4. With the PS6 expected to be very expensive, we may very well see …

> Come on now. This is extremely obvious. I was talking about game compatibility and you brought up an utterly unrelated point and referenced non-specified “recent moves by Sony”. …

Can you please elaborate? The recent moves I’ve seen have been announcing a shift to digital-only and another about clawing back movie purchases. Neither are appealing to me, but a…

I don’t think the appeal is just to the less technically inclined masses. I’m a developer with a MacBook Pro and a Linux workstation. Proton has come a long way, but consoles just …

I’ve regularly used an M1 Max, M4 Pro, and M5 Max. They all get pretty loud when driving local LLMs. “Jet-engine” would be hyperbolic, but it’s definitely noisy.

He didn’t ask for it, as far as I can tell. It looks like a Rovio customer asked how they treat downstream partners. I think that’s allowed under capitalism. Be that as it may, ple…

You can’t export save files on PS5. You can’t transfer licenses, so you’ll have to repurchase any games you want to continue playing. For trophy/achievement hunters, those are goin…

Probably USD vs CAD. The parent posted a /ca/ link, which will look really similar to /us/, but the prices will all appear to be higher.

Part of the point the article makes is that most other popular languages have a comprehensive standard library. JS has an astonishingly small on. Rather than have one vetted set of…

The lack of a comprehensive standard library for JavaScript also results in projects pulling many more third party dependencies than you would with most other modern environments. …

They’re definitely playing catch up, but the IDE integration makes interactive development really nice. Claude is good for one-shotting things, but I find JetBrains AI integration …

Based on another reply I can’t tell if there’s a clever window-based pun that I’m missing. If not, I think you want “shudder” and not “shutter” here. I’m sorry if I just ruined the…

CheapCharts is really nice. I find discovery in the Apple TV store pretty bad otherwise. They earn their affiliate revenue. I do wish we had DRM-free purchases like we have with MP…

After getting scammed on Facebook Marketplace, I look at the profiles of sellers, particularly if they don’t have much in way of reviews. That seems more prudent than creepy to me.…
