Offtopic: I posted a Show HN and it was instantly flagged. I don't know what I did wrong :(

Hi HN, I built Turnstile because I missed Choosy every time I used my Windows PC. I use multiple browsers on my Windows machine. Edge for work stuff, Firefox for personal browsing,…

How is OpenAI Voice mode any different than a Whatsapp call? Ignoring the part that there is a GPU on the other side instead of a human. But what is the technical challenge in the …

These guys are at the absolute frontier, why can't they rigorously find the exact weights that are causing this problem? That's how software "engineering" should work. Not trying c…

I do my work on this PC. And even though almost all of it is on WSL, the rest of the OS just works better than any Linux I've tried. And I'm no stranger to Linux. My first was the …

I've a solid UPS.

I've set it up to run on login. But this screen is special. It blocks everything after login until you accept or remind later it.

This is so extremely annoying when paired with the forced auto restarts. Here is how it works: 1. I walk away from the computer with a bunch of my tabs and programs running. I also…

I think I read somewhere that calculating and limiting cloud usage costs is a really hard problem. But I feel that if Google were motivated to do it, they can do it. It's hard, not…

Why doesn't it have an "Export to Figma" button?

Keyboard shortcuts are truly a mess on mac os. Windows does it much better and with more consistency. That results in third party apps also having sensible shortcuts. Example: Ctrl…

If you have network infrastructure that supports 400G I'm pretty sure it has solid PTP built in. And as far as I remember from my networking days setting it up is almost as simple …

Everything you do will have some effect on another task you're doing. Nothing is perfectly safe. Most people are ok with the risk of driving. It doesn't matter if you're having a c…

The reason I hate AI generated code is because it's low quality and a pain to review. Similarly, AI generated images and videos are also low quality and not worth paying attention …
