The bar for creating software has been lowered dramatically while the bar for understanding software has been raised. Standing out is less about what you can make, which is perhaps now only table stakes. How quickly and thoroughly can you r

These are the hardest cuts to make in design, being so incremental, but they add up!

Air quality, too. Leaf blowers re-suspend carcinogens like brake dust and other fine particulate matter. Honestly just an awful practice all around.

How do you orchestrate this? I’m on max and would love to be hitting my caps when I’m not actively working a project

Very cool concept. I’d love to see the controls reach spacemouse style movements. The right hand gestures could pair really well with more natural 3D navigation

The DEM provider they integrated, Mapterhorn, looks great at a cursory glance. They’ve managed to source and package a ton of the free high res elevation data into one dataset for easy consumption. https://mapterhorn.com/

I’ve been an M1 Air fan since I got mine in 2020 but recently things have become unusable. Playing 4K videos often drops frames, even at 30fps. And I can’t reliably run Notion’s transcription AI on Zoom calls, even though it’s not running l

Congrats on this! As a born and raised valley kid, I wish this was around when I was living there as a teen.

Do you plan on writing about the other lessons you learned, which you mentioned in the README? As a big fan of your software and writing for many years, I would deeply appreciate your perspective using these tools!

I’m all for bringing buttons back, but do we really need that many buttons on a steering wheel?

Day laborers are an independent labor force who do construction, landscaping, and other manual work for a negotiated cash rate. In Los Angeles they hang out in public spaces in groups, often near hardware stores, to make themselves easy to

This is precisely what the author is attempting to do. > I know my goal: shift the default in open source from “it’s free for anyone to use” to “please don’t use this if you’re evil”. I don’t just want to do this for my little project; I

You’re not wrong, but arguments like this ignore the point. For many authors and maintainers, ‘free software’ and ‘open source’ as traditionally defined result in unsustainable outcomes. The original article cites articles explaining severa

Wild experience building a PC today and discovering the prices are less competitive with Macs than they’ve always been. Building a well-appointed gaming/production/CAD rig is suddenly very expensive between RAM, GPU, and nvme pric

Gamers Nexus is reporting increasing DDR4 prices, but it’s unclear to what extent it’s driven by the DDR5 market. DDR4 production is expected to be slowing anyway given the move to DDR5. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9hLiwNV

Wild! Does that count their own Starlink payloads? Curious what this number looks like when you only look at the launch customer market.

I spent a couple years in Europe and found that most local news websites in the US blocked access entirely. My guess was that they all share IT resources / policies of the conglomerate news corp, who decided it would be cheaper to simp

Sincere question: have you done the math? If so, this conversation would be a lot more interesting if you shared it.

That’s a decision we, as a civilization, need to make. I personally hope we manage to enact transnational policies that effectively price environmental and social externalities in my lifetime. Or else witness “free market” capitalism contin

Are you pricing in the externalities of GHGs?

Definitely wrt the dopamine. The shorts are the main issue there for me, and I’m eager to tune my unlock to get rid of those. The content I’m on there for is long-form educational and it’s the best medium/source for that.

My question for you all is: do you consider HN to be social media? I got off traditional social media (twitter, fb, insta, etc) years ago and feel all the better for it. But I still visit HN and YouTube multiple times daily. For the most pa

Funny to see this pop up as I’m reading this book for the first time currently. I’m about half way through and have enjoyed the story so far. The writing is often frantic and sometimes exhausting to read, but it certainly keeps one’s intere

This is actually a critique of massive bureaucratic systems, not systems thinking as a practice. Gall's work is presented as an argument against systems thinking, while it's a contribution to the field. Popular books on systems th
