Yes, I was addressing the broader discourse more generally, specifically Reddit. But you're right that the article did directly address this though I would say the tone and title o…

I will fully concede that the trend of game makers releasing half-baked, poorly optimized games that are buggy and unplayable at launch is totally a thing and it is frustrating and…

Just as an alternate data point, I personally prefer the new design as I find it more inviting, and easier to browse on mobile. I think both should exist because there are enough p…

Too many great options in this thread already so I'll stray and focus on small 2-player games I discovered this year and enjoyed: - Trails - Jaipur - The Agora expansion to 7 wonde…

I take the video with a grain of salt of course but just to be fair here, the video spends the majority of its time explaining in great detail why Linus did NOT just slap his name …

For anyone who makes the same mistake as me... this is an April Fools joke from 2021. The commits are all from April 1, 2021. The rick-roll should have been a dead giveaway but...

Every comment I have seen is flabbergasted by the price but I think there is a lot more interesting about these headphones. For example, they're clearly being marketed as "premium"…

What I find really interesting in this debate is how the same story can be spun two ways. Here, the headline is listed as "Apple Ending "Fortnite Save the World" Updates for Mac" w…

Not saying that Google is or isn't breaking the intention of GDPR here but thinking as a critical reader: - this complaint is lodged by an upstart privacy-based browser which direc…

As some one who exclusively uses Apple Maps on the west side of LA, I have found the routing to be similar or the same. The killer function for me is the HUD when I have it mounted…

A bit tangential but a quick click on the author's name in the article and their bio reads: > ex-Amazon contractor, front-end lover, accessibility nerd, down for building cool shit…

I largely agree with your points as an ebike commuter on the west side of LA which has similar properties (surprisingly compact, protected bike lanes, good weather, very expensive …

As a concept this seems to make a lot of sense to me. A restaurant actually seems like the worst place to prepare food meant for delivery. I think of my local taco place which usua…

Putting aside the merits of AMP or Google entirely, I find this author's outrage suspicious. It says in Google's message, "this issue will not affect your appearance on search...".…

I have owned several smart locks and every single one has required a secret passcode to actually unlock via a smart assistant. Working backwards, the real threat if they didn't do …

TL;DR, for me, the individual measurement is not as important as the quantifiable trend you can gather over time. I can only speak for myself but for me the gamification of fitness…

This is one of those statements that is too broad to be true. We can't wave a wand and just say developers at FAANG companies are better than the bottom 1/3 and no more. You do hav…

I will +1 that. I like Bazel a lot because it really forces you into a singular way of building a project which is clean and nice. That said, mileage may vary. It was originally bu…

Are billboards or radio stations or television channels unethical to you? Because they are also trying to "manipulate" you into buying things. Advertising is not inherently unethic…

I have always found that the most difficult aspect of any application is nearly always the integration points. Hiring only specialists would probably only make that more pronounced…

Insert point about the slippery slope fallacy here. There is no debate amongst the vast majority of our society that neo-Nazis are provocateurs of hate, racism, and violence. Their…

I think an important aspect that is often missed here is how conservative most tech companies are when it comes to legal boundaries. I would posit that each of these companies is a…

I actually prefer the way Google does it. They are really looking for generalists and the process is optimized for that. Once they have determined you have met the hiring bar, then…

That's great to hear and I think y'all have struck a good balance IMO. #keeppennygreat

I have been using Penny since the second launch on Show HN and have been absolutely loving it. Hands down solves the number one problem I have with Mint, et al which is an overload…
