Yes it feels awful to me. Seems like every Chromium and Electron app is sluggish and choppy, and as someone who uses Brave, VSCode, and Slack all day I am straight up not having a …

>I use self-checkouts whenever possible because most cashiers don't like the job and probably want to interact with as few people as possible I don't know if that's really the case…

My wife has like a 230 day streak in Duolingo and every time I speak any Spanish to her (I'm like early intermediate level maybe) she doesn't understand. She's just hooked on makin…

Check out Dreaming Spanish, hours and hours and hours of free comprehensible input content, and then some premium content on top of that when you run out. It's been great for my li…

I think the motivation here is that Twitter is charging about half a million dollars a year for access to their API when it was previously either free or close to free.

There are likely a ton of tools that are using the Twitter API in ways that helps Twitter and almost all of them are going to be locked out because there's no way they can afford $…

Plus with hedonic adaptation most people won't even feel happier or less stressed after they get used to the lifestyle (unless they're coming from levels of poverty that leave you …

I personally don't want someone to clone my voice without my permission and then use it to make money. I imagine many people feel the same way. I agree that I would prefer to move …

Money largely gains its value from its ability to be used to pay taxes. If there is someone who controls land and an army and says "this is valuable and you have to pay a certain a…

>It runs fast and battery lasts at least 5h That would be a serious downgrade for anyone running an M1 machine. Total non-starter for me.

Past a certain point the goal of having money is the ability to wield influence. If you donate money to charity you control you can still use that charity to wield influence.

>Creating complex type definitions for more generic components is hard and require knowledge about internals. This is what turned me off of Svelte initially. Usually when I make we…

I just started using Vite earlier this week so I was a bit dismayed to see a major version release right after I got my project configured, but my experience was the same as yours.…

The idea that it's caused by "bailouts" is just a talking point. Personally I think it boils down to a few things: 1. Older people taking retirement early when the pandemic hit. 2.…

GraphQL comes with its own set of headaches though, especially if you're the person responsible for implementing the server.

Is Kevin Johnson someone important? Why is this near the top of hacker news? It's just platform evangelism that's rehashing points we've heard a million times.

Optional number 4: Turn them into resources in the for-profit criminal justice system when they eventually turn to using and selling addictive drugs.

Good luck with that. There are basically two scenarios here to consider in a popular violent revolution: 1) The army sides with the people. In this case, the right to keep and bear…

George Zimmerman is in seventh place. This app doesn't really make any sense.

I'm left handed, never been an issue. I also never understood why table settings are the only thing where the world seems to appreciate my left-handedness.

Time to start shopping around. Any recommendations?

Our CMS, Forge ( http://factore.ca/forge-cms ) is a semi-open source (in that you're free to use it for whatever you want but we don't have a community built up for it yet) Ruby on…

I too would like to patent the emotional response to seeing something that brings you joy or amusement.
