I feel like there had to have been some appetite within Apple to acquire serif (the Affinity suite of apps, Affinity Designer being a great Illustrator alternative) before Canva did because they were making non-kneecapped iPad apps, getting

I changed ADHD stimulant medication during the winter, and the weirdest part of that change was experiencing raynaud's syndrome for the first time. (Temporary, only when I'm on Vyvanse it seems) Temperatures I have never even cons

They do have to keep drawing them as unicode assigns new codepoints. So they can't really be left alone, other than just leaving the old ones alone and only appending. But I would imagine this trend towards non-raster versions of emoji

by graypegg 2mo ago
You already know this, but to say the obvious out loud: Google is certainly big enough that they can pay both a 3D-rendered emoji team and a Drive search team. Drive search is bad because the Drive search team isn't working on it, not

Maybe not "messy reality", honestly my desk is a mess right now and it would be a totally apt description... but I wouldn't want to be in a category called "messy reality"! "Brutalist" maybe... I could con

I love the idea! But echoing some comments on here, oh man if the desk-owner takes the desk-photo, you get a lot of branded mugs with the logo facing towards the camera, books neatly stacked in a pile right in the middle of the desk, or (my

I won't say that HN is some bastion of objectivity, but I do find people tend to be a little more direct on here. Individual comments can be pretty harsh as a result, but I tend to put at least some weight in the "HN hivemind&quot

by graypegg 2mo ago
Genuinely curious, do you find HN to be AI-negative? (For whatever that mostly meaningless label is worth.) Would an "AI-positive / tech-positive" version of HN be just the same site, but with a smaller user base that holds s

Wait, is that what headless means now in the agency world!? I remember headless meaning the CMS wasn't the software serving the initial request, it just provided an API that some HTML/CSS/JS on S3 or something would consume.

I might be missing something here, but I'm struggling to understand why the concept of mixing up implementation details by request path is desirable. Maybe for colocating a legacy application with a new application that's slowly

I think they mean « Internet is global » to say that not everyone types English how you do. The bilingual CSA keyboard in Canada will type french guillemets instead of quotation marks if you accidentally look at it the wrong way. Plus, what

This is a rather stupid to rave about, but I was in amsterdam several months ago, and I forgot to bring my NA to EU plug adapter. I was a bit miffed having to buy a new travel charger, but it's become the best one I own. (Only because

There's a community of folks maintaining some WINE tweaks to make it work! Thankfully, it's mostly just config options so nothing additional to install/run beyond WINE. I tend to use the V2 suite and on a mac, but I've g

IMO, you are a better engineer if you understand how the abstraction works, at any layer of abstraction. You need to pick the point of diminishing returns for yourself, but I think it's pretty uncontroversial to say a developer that un

The "Written by hand." in the footer hurts my brain. If it is written using real thoughts and ideas formed by themselves, they've fully imbued their brain with that AI stank I guess. It really does FEEL like unedited LLM outp

To be fair, they are clearly following that rule, yes. But also, if I went to a clinic, and got told it was my fault something didn't get treated because I spoke to the person dressed as a doctor wearing the "Aspiring Dr. Soandso

"AI" is a term cursed by cool sci-fi implications. It makes it a kick ass marketing term because most people are going to have some familiarity with sci-fi AI and "X media predicted Y technology" is a pretty widespread b
