Okay, the article I read on HN yesterday about the ram shortage crippling inexpensive devices feels relevant here. As far as I can tell, the article treats the low memory capacity …

That is addictive!

In case you didn't already know or haven't considered it, you can find right-angle usb-c MagSafe adaptors that basically allow the charging cable to disconnect from the device like…

Tell me more about this game!

Oh, wow--what if Big Ketchup is behind this? Huge, if true.

So, hold on--the author's soul-breaking complaint isn't all of the "quirks" and inconsistencies with the Date functions, but rather the fact that it's an object? Specifically, an o…

Here's my brilliant idea: the longer it takes for an answer to be marked correct, or the more answers there are before one is marked correct, the more points that answer deserves.

Surely you're being hyperbolic. I've seen some atrocious UX before. Maybe what you mean is it's a good idea but the scrolling part should be list-based instead of page-based.

It's not that the product you're building is a commodity. It's that the tools you're using to built it are. Why not build a landing page using HTML and CSS and tailwind? Why not us…

This reads like "Hey, we're not vibe coding, but when we do, we're careful!" with hints of "AI coding changes the costs associated with writing code, designing features, and refact…

I still don't get the point of Gaussian Splats. How are they better than triangles?

It's very nice, but why? The lack of descenders makes it slightly harder to read. More of the letters look the same.

Is this similar to Peltier coolers?

I don't understand. I run a Plex instance on my home server as well. Are you referring to jellyfin not needing a centralized Plex account? Or do most Plex users rely on a plex-prov…

I am a faithful Plex lifetime user and have never had problems. That said, I shouldn't be blinded by convenience. I hear jellyfin is a good alternative. Can someone share - how eas…

What the author is missing is the metric that matters more than shipping product: how much happier am I when my AI auto complete saves me typing and figures out what I'm trying to …

They're serious because ... > ... would provide Perplexity with a shortcut to user acquisition and enhance data collection for targeted advertising. ... advertising dollars? Wouldn…

This was a pleasant read. I want a goal like this to try and achieve. Neat!

I am not getting rid of windows 10 for several years at least. Too many of my workflows require windows apps, and windows 11 is incoherent, full of ads, and way too controlling.

I'm on my phone, trying this. It's a question about how many people are in the air right now. - when I tap on a factor, I can edit the slider, but it doesn't do anything. - when I …

It's nice but it takes a million clicks to get to another day's puzzle. Tap to close the results page, Tap the toast to show the close button, tap the close button, tap the calenda…

I don't understand why so many modern motherboards continue to include ps/2 connections on their rear i/o panels.

I'd like to play this on my phone but everytime I try to zoom or pan it thinks I'm making a guess in the middle of the ocean. Also it often gives me a success when the country is d…

I read this in electroboom's voice. Much more entertaining that way.
