I was hoping the article was going to be about a physical device as well as the software to manage and play songs. A few years ago I wanted to get my 10 year old son an mp3 player – he's really into listening to music but wasn't r

That takes the fun out of it! No in reality there doesn’t even seem to be a material difference in the amount of water used by each button. But I think in the spirit of this thread, why isn’t the interface obvious. At my last house it was a

So glad I'm not the only one. My house has four different two button toilets and I can't for the life of me figure out which does what. My wife says smaller button is for less water, but on one toilet the small button is tiny and

Not OP but working on a project in similar domain (ndaok.com). The technology is definitely making it easier to replace lawyers. The biggest barrier right now is lawyers themselves. In fact our project stopped trying to sell to lawyers beca

Oh wow, you just sent me down a really intriguing path. I was not familiar with IFC, but looking more into that now. No, it does not look like their repo [0] has IFC files, but I don't imagine it would be that difficult to export the a

The last time wikihouse showed up on HN (September '23) I did a deep dive on the process I still haven't come out of. 20 years ago as a grad student getting my masters in architecture, I definitely would have had similar comments

Agreed. Ben, although he doesn't know it, is one of my biggest inspirations for what I do. Back in 2005 or so he did a presentation to my class at the GSD on his genome visualizations. I was blown away, but even more so when I asked hi

Same here. One of the things that made me a loyal Linode customer was that often they would have a resource upgrade (i.e. "we've doubled your RAM!") without a price increase. Not pairing this with some kind of resource upgrad

Interesting, I have a similar goal but in the Drupal space. My partner and I have been building Drupal sites for clients for almost 15 years and we keep running into hosting issues for our clients at scale. Most of the "managed" o

Excited to check this out. I'm a long time Linode user and recently came across some projects that could leverage a managed DB. As always, I find the prices competitive – especially compared to AWS which I was starting to look at again

Thanks for your work on Postico. Was looking for a Mac based GUI when I made the switch from MySQL to Postgresql almost 10 years ago. Sequel Pro was my go to interface for understanding my database tables in MySQL and I wanted something sim

Congrats on the launch. My company tried to tackle collaborative trip planning too by doing a shared itinerary ( https://www.lunamoons.com ). We went as far as collaborative booking where people could split the charge at time of r

Yes, scope creep can significantly change the time requirements or even the entire, shall we say "scope". But I think it's just as important for us as developers to be aware of that on the initial request, in order to suss ou

Congrats to the Stripe team. I can't believe it has only been 10 years. I actually had to go check my inbox to see when I started using Stripe and it looks like I received my account notification on 8/30/11! As other have sai

I get the spirit of the document, but disagree with the goal. I'm biased, I've kind of made my career writing web applications for people reliant on Excel. While I've come to respect it's power – I had a colleague in arc

I really like this. We've attempted similar ideas on projects before based on first/last initial and it never turned out like I wanted. I like the simplicity of your execution and the range of styles you created. I get that some o

My first reaction to this was to be creeped out. Even being in the industry how did all of these sites (560) have data about me that they were willingly sending to Facebook without my permission. And while I have a Facebook account, I am no

I'm super excited by this announcement. Yes, I'm a Panic fanboy and have been since I first used Transmit over 15 years ago. I've long since moved away from Panic software – as the development process changed I didn't fe

I agree. Their complaint on the use cases (pun!) for switch seem to ignore the flexibility of the syntax. I don't think the requirement to include breaks/returns is a problem if you know how it's intended to work. I prefer sw

I too like the magic links. I've been an advocate for them in our tech stack ever since the first one I used on Slack. Yes, it's a paradigm shift, but I don't think that's a reason to avoid using it. My team is split on
