    This already happened with Affinity Photo v1 on iOS; a lot of functionality did not work after an iOS update. It feels like Apple changed something in their libraries, so it doesn'…

    There's already precedence for app deterioration in their iOS apps. Affinity Photo V1 for iPad lost a lot of functionality in brushes and other features with later versions of iOS …

    I'd imagine it would be similar to this scene from the movie Disturbia: https://youtu.be/b9qMqGTi1uc?si=s-QoxZ4hRv9Oyjhn&t=28

    I'm one who started with only a BS, and I'm at a top-20 public university in the US. It depends on your PIs, but I've definitely been appreciated on many of the projects I've worke…

    I explained my problem in a confusing way. The main problem is solely that I can't find the word I want to say. Normally, I'd just freeze up and just keep racking my brain for the …

    Some things I have thought about looking into: * Reading aloud text in a very quick speed. Maybe I need more practice in just brain-to-mouth coordination? * Flash card style traini…

    Ask HN: Tips for improving mental word retrieval?

    I suffer from words being at the "tip-of-my-tongue" often. I know the basic definition of what I'm trying to say, but I just can't bring up the word I want to say fast enough. I so…

    Could you send some links to the community you found who were hacking away on the partial refresh drivers? I have a 7.5" that I started with and would love to work off of whatever …

    Waveshare is probably the easiest way to play with eInk today. If you're willing to look at different sizes, they offer displays with partial refresh already built in. The 2.7 inch…

    I start chats with a separate "Hey" message solely just for the chance that the recipient is sharing their screen in a meeting. That way others in the meeting will only see the "He…

    >amazon had a rule that you can't sell your product on amazon and sell it for less on your own site. Why not create an Amazon exclusive SKU, the same way manufacturers do for Costc…

    Anyone have recommendations for a relay that could handle 20A but would work with the ESP8266's 3.3V?

    Is it reusable, or is it a one time deploy?

    Are we sure we're spelling it right? Is it an abbreviated version of "I know, totally"?

    To me, the biggest feature that Photoshop has that others don't is their type support, especially with kerning. I can accomplish most of what I want with other tools until I need t…

    The original SmarTrip cards came from a company that went out of business, but used proprietary technology. WMATA eventually found another company to create the cards, and I believ…
