Interesting, I think that is a rarer form of synesthesia. There's also /r/Synesthesia/ on Reddit, which has some interesting links.

I'm pretty certain that mine don't come from a calendar, because the colors are a bit odd and Tuesday and Sunday both being black is quite unusual for any calendar.

> Like if it's Monday, do you see light brownish everywhere throughout the day? No. If I think of Monday, for example when planning the week, there's a color association. It's also not very bright, but more "a feeling

Had them as a kid. A canvas in beige that spanned my whole view and was the entire world. There was an invisible opponent and we played a game. You filled half of the seemingly infinite canvas with black or a dark blue. Then the other perso

I’ve been using DDG for a long time now. Results are getting more and more spammy. Way too many AI-generated / scraped websites nowadays.

Thanks, but from the same article: "First key learning: execution matters far more than stack choice" which directly translates to: make a great app and nobody cares about the tech and this includes whether or not to use Liquid Gl

> It is us who are a "special kind of paranoid." Justifiably so, I would contend. It's not even that. The average HN user would gladly use it even if it was privacy-invading. Just like they use Gmail every day and have no

In 10 years? I predict that healthcare, education, legal services and transporation won't change in a meaningful way at all. People will go to a doctor, kids will attend school and aim to graduate, legal services will still be done by

There are more statistical issues. I drew a person from 1984, living in Germany and recalculated their life several times. In almost all cases, their mother died while they were in their thirties, often both parents. This is simply far from

No, it’s to counteract the desire of parents dropping of their kids in front of school with their car and causing traffic jams.

Oh there is always a certain group of users whose posts had weird sentence structure, because they'd press return in a <textarea> after every line.

You can track bounce rate and ad spend in a GDPR-compliant way. What wouldn't work is retargeting individual users via tracking pixels without their consent.

Relative of mine is Swiss. They produce cookies for the US market. Every few years, an FDA-adjacent regulator comes to Switzerland, inspects the place in person, expects dinner, entertainment and whatnot, gives his signature and off he goes

It works, but regression is broader. If I'm not mistaken, a regression can also happen without human intervention. Verschlimmbesserung is active. Someone actually tried something and made it worse.

Germany: Younger people yes, older people no. They wouldn't know the difference between credit and debit card and everything that looks like a credit card is an invention from hell and instant debt-spiral to them.

It also has more bots than before, even though Musk promised to get rid of them.

Thanks. Kinda proves my point about TUIs having all kinds of hidden keyboard shortcuts.

No, but I want to click to place the cursor in my 10 line prompt wherever I want. I want to double click to mark words. I want to use a scroll bar. I want to copy paste properly and not "23 lines pasted". I don’t want to read docs

And Apple. Unsurprisingly, the brand name of my app converts best, except Apple wants an outrageous $3 per click or something. Of course, I simply live with no ads and trust in people finding the correct download link if they want my app an

Websites always have been shopping windows. They change with the seasons, they come and go. The idea that websites are forever and archived like newspapers might be laudable, but it really applies only to… online newspapers.

Flutter: if you want a pixel perfect version of your app that looks similar on Android and iOS. Some quite popular apps use it and make a shit ton of money, for example Headspace. More here: https://flutterhunt.com/ React N

WASM or JS doesn’t matter. The reason is Canvas instead of DOM. Flutter apps render to the canvas element, because this is the only option for the 2D game engine you mentioned.

Starbucks uses espresso machines that cost 4-5 figures. They have automatic thermal control. They never boil the water. While I agree with your overall sentiment, claiming that Starbucks makes coffee too hot and thus tastes bad is nonsense.

I beg to differ. Earthsea is a good example of "tell, don’t show". It goes on and on with explaining things that happen without the showing part. It’s outright boring. It might have been inspirational decades ago. Now, it reads da

The law doesn’t mention Cookies even once. If your company is overcompliant, seems to be a company issue. This is a general trend I observed: way too many companies and even government entities don’t do certain things for "privacy reas

Source? I don't think this is true. Doesn't seem to be the case for me. Maybe your email provider attaches your IP address?
