I do think these are some good guidelines that are definitely worth at least considering if you're struggling with choice. One other method I've used to great effect is to read books that I see cited at least 3 times in 3 differen

I was starting to work on my own project just this week to deal with the exact same issues and use cases. Excited to check this out and see how it evolves! This could absolutely be my own misunderstanding, but you mention that it's exp

This is still a typically stringed piano, just with felt added to dampen the other strings, I believe. The webpage describes an Una Corda piano built with only one string

Man, I didn't think that at all but now I wish it was! Would love to read some in depth articles about these kinds of social clubs and the societies they create

Not OP: I really like how (especially on the mobile app) it's always pretty easy to see which albums each track is associated with no matter what direction I get to the Artist from. In Spotify, I have issues where from some directions,

I never argued the effectiveness of misleading business practices towards generating revenue or conversions. I feel that design can be misleading and user-antagonistic while still being the most effective solution for monetization. It is up

There is also no point on the front page that it is paid, and I would assume that because there is no mention of pricing that it would be free. I'd definitely put something very early on stating pricing and that it is not a free progra

Weird, no statement or anything that I can find, just a banner at the top of the page. As well, they're shutting off service in less than a month during a time in the year when at least many western countries have limited staff/av

This really feels like a knee-jerk reaction to the article's headline instead of any sort of argument as to why you think it may be wrong or what pieces of the interview you disagree with.

To be fair, most of the arguments (at least that I've seen, could be non-representative) aren't against big C "Censorship" in the way that this comment implies. It's not an argument as to whether or not Oath/Ve

It's really a shame. There are very few streaming services left where I feel like I can pick something out with little to no research and end up finding a gem. It's been my go-to "No idea what to watch but I want to watch som

Likely with most organizations built around donating funds to pre-existing efforts, the lack of accountability would come from the NGO/Government Organization itself, who (for better or worse in terms of enforcement) often have regulat

I can't think of a situation where a donating cryptocurrency would be better than a donation of fiat cash to the same groups. Honestly, I can only see negatives from going down that route (lack of accountability for fund usage is a maj

What do you think makes Python more difficult to learn now than it used to be? It seems to me that there are even more tutorials now. Also, the confusion between learning 2.7 or 3+ is pretty much completely gone at this point, while the ba

iOS's Swipe From Left works differently than Android's (at least 8.1 Oreo's) does, but often accomplishes the same task. It's pretty equivalent to Android's back button in a lot of cases, acting as hierarchical navi

While I haven't remapped it for Esc (I have for Ctrl), you can reassign both keys. It took about a week to get used to it, but now my Control key acts as caps lock and honestly it works like it was designed to work that way. No more ac

I can't do that because I've already mapped Caps Lock to Ctrl... Also being a heavy Tmux user, it seemed more useful at the time.

I really think that dismissing this complaint as "trolling" is odd. The escape key is used in a lot of applications, not just vim. It's used to cancel out of actions, it's used to often dismiss modals, it's used acr

I definitely think that's an incredibly legitimate concern and wouldn't want to dismiss it because it's such an important issue. It is also important to remember, though, that a lot of these changes are made in ways that (see

You could say "Group Listening" or "Collaborative Listening" possibly.

Oh, I absolutely agree. I am in no way saying that constructive criticism (or hell, even warranted, non-constructive criticism sometimes) is fine and should be encouraged! The comments I was referring to (many have either been deleted or re

I am not sure whether or not some have been deleted. When I made the edit earlier I noticed quite a few (some top level, but many secondary). I also usually find discourse on HN really a step above so many other sites I frequent! That'

You can disable it either from the screen, or if you have an account, permanently from your settings.

There's a lot of negativity in these comments (which is to be expected, as it is still HN after all) but I've been using the preview boxes for a while now and have to say that I absolutely love them. I use Wikipedia a LOT for prim

No one would likely have copyright over the actual event (or if they did, it would be a separate discussion). Each photographer could have copyright over their image they took.

As someone in the very same boat, I appreciate and can relate to the line you have to walk. My life was positively changed by going on Prozac in a way that I didn't think was possible. After years and years of trying any way of dealing
