I think iOS safari already breaks bottom bars by having phone controls show up when a user taps near the bottom.

This blog post shows how not to use AI. The author would have been unlikely to write such a uselessly redundant conclusion if they had to type it themselves. Edit: I like the post, but it didn't need to be padded with fluff.

Can you remove the annoying "give me your email" popup? It's preemptive enshittification.

This is impressive and mirrors a lot of thoughts I have had about the future of backend frameworks. I love the focus on local development for things like pub/sub.

An old timer I worked with during my first internship called these kinds of issues "the law of coincidental failures" and I took it to heart. I try a lot of obvious things when debugging to ascertain the truth. Like, does undoing

I use it for programming and math. When I started using kagi almost 2 years ago, I had to go back to Google occasionally. Now I basically never go back to Google search.

I took a class psychology class on learning that was superb. It taught how to memorize stuff: spaced repetition and semantic encoding. Spaced repetition is reviewing the thing at increasingly spaced intervals of time. Semantic encoding is c

You can improve without measurement by using reasoning and experience. As an example, Groupon drove itself into the ground by only improving itself in ways it could measure. They added many nagging features that a/b tests showed worked

Why: Avoid time wasting nit-picks on PRs. Consistent formatting may be easier to quickly read. Why not: Avoid taking a dependency. Avoid "fix formatting" commits (or the complexity of having a system auto-apply formatting). Format

There is a huge difference between having a post removed in a moderated community and having a post be punishable by the law of your nation.

I found I formed a deeper connection with my D&D group once we started doing non-D&D things together. It was a switch from consistent friends to close friends.

It would probably be a stretch and overreach, but the angle I would take is that they are competing not on the merit of their products. Consider airline miles. Each time I purchase a ticket, instead of choosing the best deal (fair competiti

I wish loyalty programs would be considered unfair competition. They are a drain on society.

Regulatory compliance. How can I know what laws are applicable? Accessibility, taxation, privacy, record retention, etc. are all areas that I think many businesses could use help.

Agreed! I think this is the start of something that will be big in a decade as adoption goes up.

This places all the trust in the institution that mints verifiable credentials. (or the institution + Auth0 if they use Auth0). This is good for use cases where you want to assert that an organization says something about you (e.g., you hav

I think for every spite spender there is at least one other person who is habitually cautious now. I have found it harder to get some people to go out and do things.

HN, do you think ads in iOS is a good business move? On the one hand, there is so much money to be made. On the other, this is a short term gain that cheapens the brand.

AI may rival programmers some day, but it isn't close yet. We can't extrapolate from Topcoder questions to software development as a whole. Requirements are rarely so crisp, and the systems we build are never so small. If an AI co
