Hi HN, we built a small experiment at Emora Health for April 1. It takes a mean or harsh message and rewrites it into something kind instead. The idea was simple: what if AI nudged…

This is the clearest articulation of the problem I've seen in this thread. The chronological social graph feed era was fine. The handoff to engagement-optimizing algorithms is wher…

You're right that enforcing boundaries is the job. I'm not arguing otherwise. And yes, we do plenty of LEGOs and outside time. I believe you're conflating two things: parenting dis…

Ha — the guy is hyper. But I'll give him this: he introduces my kid to garbage trucks, excavators, fire trucks. I'm not physically taking my toddler to see all of those all the tim…

I'm a former Google engineer, now running a children's mental health startup (Emora Health), and my toddler is already on YouTube Kids. So this verdict hits on every axis for me.I …

I have a somewhat unusual vantage point on this. I'm a former Google engineer, now running a children's mental health startup (Emora Health), and my toddler is already on YouTube K…

I built recommendation systems at Google. Now I run a children's mental health company. Yesterday's verdict against Meta and YouTube is being called a "Big Tobacco moment" — I thin…

This is a bit strange... Last night, mostly out of curiosity, I built a small experiment: an “AI therapist” using OpenClaw, meant to help other AI agents running on Moltbook slow d…

How does it compare again zstd?

All they needed was some good shit. Jokes aside there has been plenty of research around insulin spike and how it is dependent on the gut bacteria and food you eat.

How about it is made the default behavior in any browser, I see no reason why image downloading should ever be not lazy and viewport dependent

We have also spent time reducing the initial JS parsing size by chunking out our ever growing JS bundle and we constantly test on slow devices on 2g/3g profiles to emulate bad inte…

True critique, but progressive loading is not supported by html5 alone. I have been following up with srcset to support proper lazy loading behavior and the day it gets supported y…

Thanks, could be a geocoder issue for a specific city - we will investigate.

Also ours is not a static page, it has dynamic content, and ga + fb tracking for our restaurants and we make it work by correctly prioritizing important rendering elements over oth…

At Tock we had been obsessed with page load performance since the beginning and I agree with the author. We avoided PWA mostly due to it's broken behavior. Often times we are faste…

I see, often the person who has little desire to improve needs to be handled differently. There are various ways to handle low performance, including talking to the person, finding…

Why do you do the pair programming in the first place? What is the motivation? Are you forcing the other person to sit there, because pair programming is some kind of mandate? Or i…

FWIW, we stuck to web because of all those reasons, maintaining multiple code bases for different devices is not something key to our business at our current team size and strength…

Without knowing your use case it is hard to say 1) do you want to do more native stuff, do you need the additional performance. 2) or are you just building any web capable user int…

Yes, that would be useful. 4.x kernels has some block io improvements and some recent phoronix benchmark shows ext4 making huge strides.
