You can use tools like CleanMyMac to show folders and their sizes. All cache and library files are counted under System, e.g. files from vagrant, docker, vms, old jetbrains IDEs, caches from rarely used/uninstalled apps etc. You don‘t

I really like urban places with public transport on the street. It leads to less cars and more pedestrian friendly streets. Also I think for small distances (Zürich is not that big), I rather ride a bit longer with the tram than going down

Can you explain where? Which tracks? I have seen this comment on Reddit a few months ago, and some people were talking about it. They came to the conclusion that you cannot see the Sihl.

This is a bad assumption to make. There are infinitely many reasons why the internet could be not working currently. This is just lazy engineering and a lack of testing.

Complex solution to a simple problem. Just ban ads in cities. Like some cities have already done. Then the ads that are left are just for stuff that is important, e.g. events, music, etc. No need for AI filtering algorithms that have to dec

This is about harvesters, which is only the case when they are mining minerals / gas. The commenter was talking about army movements, units which actually collide with each other.

The big advantage is that you can be sure that the cannabis you are buying is actually of a good quality. Especially in Baden-Württemberg (cannot find the source anymore), more cannabis that has been confiscated by the police was impure tha

I think I read here on HN some time ago that it is intentionally hard to read to discourage posts with text. I think the reasoning was that posting links to external blogs / websites is usually higher quality than someone creating a qu

That is so funny, sometimes I experience the exact opposite. After connecting my MacBook to my projector (ViewSonic 747), all video (Chrome, Quicktime, IINA, etc) plays like 30x faster. The only thing that helped was rebooting the laptop.

No idea why your comment is gray, but I agree. The site looks horrible. The text is so thin, it is almost unreadable (at least on macOS). Not to speak of the constantly changing visuals styles and fonts, which make the website feel like a m

Great idea. Should also take into account misclicks directly after layouts shifts in some websites.

What do you mean by "ignores the horrors happening there"? There is a daily coverage of what is happening, there are even live tickers and articles. The reports mention what is happening in Gaza, the shelling, the ground invasion,

Yeah, that was exactly was I was doing. For the left number do everything as normal, while walking through the string. For the reverse part, just walk through the reverse of the string and match the reversed keywords.

I am doing something similar, but far simpler: I have a chat with myself in Telegram, that I can access on all my devices (Telegram has a desktop app). If I want to remember something, I just write a message to myself with the link and some

It is less convenient (by design), but you can always manually look for new drivers and download them. Thats how I do it. Maybe someone wrote a script that automatically scrapes the website and downloads the newest driver automatically?

The images on mobile behind the text lead to pretty low contrast between foreground and background, making the text hard to read.

Next time use this simple strategy: Leave a 5 star review, collect the 30$, then change it to a 1 star review. Ideally Amazon would do something against this, but I think they just don‘t care.

This is awful to read on mobile. I tried but the formatting makes it really difficult.

Why do you consider Telegram heavy, if it takes 400MB of memory? Isn't memory there to be used? I just checked my telegram client, and it takes up 600MB of memory, but the system has almost 4GB of free memory. Why should telegram limit

This does not demonstrate that at all. This just demonstrates how bad a UI can be, if no thought goes into it at all. Not everything has to be visible all the time, settings can be grouped, and the user can be guided through the settings pi

Thanks for pointing that out. The Windows 11 dialog does not take any keyboard shortucts. I can't even use Enter or Escape, or switch between the options using arrow keys. This has to be a bug, right. Right? I think it is literally imp

This has nothing to do with the display, this is a MacOS scaling issue. Plug in a Windows device, put it at 100% scaling and it will be as sharp as it can get. macOS is really limited when in comes to displays, because the display must have

I mean you could also just use Markdown. Put the image in the same folder, so you don’t loose it, and then use a relative link from your text file. If you are using a markdown viewer it should render nicely, if you are using a text editor t

I do not get your attitude? Why should users "get over it"? Windows 11 is an operating system that should help its users complete tasks. Removing functionality (that is used by many) makes abosolutely no sense. Many people have a

Nuclear energy is expensive. Nuclear reactors are dangerous, if not handled properly (which they won‘t). If we build nuclear power plants now, the will be ready in 15 to 25 years, which is too late, because we need green energy now. Just in
