Are the AI bro lobbyists asleep at the wheel? I assumed human creativity was already sold to the highest bidder.

“The people” are too stupid to blame unfortunately, they have no idea what’s going on. Average IQ Americans freebase propaganda and Joe Rogan for thoughts. The Kremlin and the Republican propaganda empire have been paving the way for a Pro

lazygit ! Just needed to throw out a mention because it’s an amazing tui for visual orientation, is super fast, and can be used with a mouse and keyboard (or just keyboard) from the terminal. I saw it mentioned on a thread here last year

The games are crippled by how archaic and underpowered the hardware is. TOTK is beautiful _despite_ the hardware limiting its true potential, robbing world class studios, and forcing them to cut corners. It’s indefensible considering how m

This is what Brave browser tried to do, but everyone on HN had a spasm cus “boo crypto”.

Exactly this. Because capitalism tells us to pay people the minimum (which isn’t enough) and charge them the maximum (which is too much) and suddenly living is unaffordable for the majority.

Airlines should be a federal service like the post office, not for profit companies cramming the poor like sardines and scamming them over baggage space.

When the “tools” are built from countless lifetimes of blood sweat and tears dedicated to mastery and bottled by mega corps to siphon all of the value and sell it back to the people by laundering their intellectual property, your angle fall

This isn’t true, is it? I’ve only ever heard that TypeScript has one of the most advanced type systems of any mainstream language.. but I don’t have enough experience with other languages to know how true that is.

MacOS has this by default on every app because it indexes all menu actions and makes them accessible via `cmd + shift + ?`.

JSR is better so use that. And you can install npm deps from esm.sh instead.

I'm the same way! But there is a _lot_ of music that's designed to repeat _just_ enough for you to enjoy / learn a pattern before evolving. Almost all of the music I made back in the day followed these rules, like Omni or M

I liked the fun animation, but I agree that the text should be darker for readability / accessibility.

Unless my designs are predictable and cookie-cutter, why would I want copilot to generate them? How would it know exactly what aesthetic each element should have? I love unique, expressive designs that capture a brand, so Tailwind only se

I would love to learn about some of these anti-pattern proofs if you have any examples or references you can share!

Capitalism is unethical. Name a public company that gives a flying fart about what is ethical beyond the bare minimum. The ones that can afford the fines don’t even bother with the minimum.

What about when he said he wanted to be dictator so people wouldn’t have to vote anymore? And when he made himself above the law with MAGA court justices? Or talked about a firing squad for his opponents and opening fire on peaceful prote

As a (mostly) Typescript / Svelte dev, React is like a shitstorm of bad abstractions, and looking at it makes me irrationally upset. I refuse to flush any brain cycles down that drain.

My MacBooks are built like a tank and outperform/outlive everything else easily for a decade. I don’t need more than 128GB of RAM or 2TB of storage… and I don’t need to repair what doesn’t break. It would be nice to have the option,

Too bad we can’t pay a little for decent for software. I’ve been considering moving to the new Passwords app that Apple has shipped to all my devices… is it any good?

Apple Music isn't OSS, but it's quite a large Svelte app: https://music.apple.com

I’ve had lifelong intermittent sleep paralysis and it’s one of the worst feelings. Happened to me yesterday during a nap actually! I went to get up, and only my right foot moved an inch (or so it felt). I had to count to 3 and muster all

As a Svelte / vanilla TS dev, I hate React because looking at it makes me feel like I’m drowning in obtuse, leaky abstractions, none of which feel necessary and all of which are required to do _anything_ at all.

Definitely going to try this out!! I’ve been using the `vitest bench` command; being able to slap a `.bench.ts` file next to a module and go to town is convenient: https://vitest.dev/guide/features.html#benchmarking

I use the Octal app on iOS which does, though it seems the trailing ; broke the link for this md renderer.

Clicking around the website for the past 30 minutes has left me way more confused about what this is than when I started. I get the feeling that it would take me at least two weeks to figure out how to make a todo list app in this language

Imho, your take isn’t as “petty” as it is goofy and unproductive. I’m saying this as someone who has rejected social media entirely and deleted it off of my devices like 10 years go.

That is a tragedy. The amount of talent and brilliance robbed from the world… I still don’t understand why companies buying other companies should be a thing at all. Anti-trust solved, competition restored.

It’s like what copilot could/should be if Microsoft was even remotely competent at software. No LLM is smart enough to implement novel features in a complex repo, but the inline autocomplete alone is leaps and bounds more powerful in i
