Or they will set up one more AI automation: "This article will be posted on our prestigious news site. Our readers don't know that most of our content is AI slop that our 'writers' didn't even glance over once, so

They don't regret serving you AI slop, they regret that the "writer" didn't even read their own article and that they got caught because of it.

You can usually get the ticket printed at the desk, print it at home, have a PDF on any device like a Kindle, take a screenshot of the QR code, add to your wallet on your phone even without proprietary apps, etc… I download the airline’s ap

It’s because if a webview app experience is good, you don’t notice it, you only notice if it’s bad. A while ago saw a blog link on HN that explained how Apple uses it everywhere and we never notice it because they are done well. Of course I

Personal anecdote but I almost never use these archive sites to bypass paywalls. I only use it when I want to see how establishment news sites somehow sometimes accidentally tell the truth, then, when they get the call, they try to purge th

So interesting that with this link, I saw the whole article is a couple paragraphs. With the original link, I gave up after the second ad that almost covered my whole screen on mobile. Too many ads are a terrible user experience that doesn’

My theory, web apps are extremely bloated and slow, teams behind it always “optimize” and switch things up, and desktop apps are usually just wrapped web apps. TUI developers don’t mind settling and not always messing up the product and the

Search engines were also only good at looking up things, not software engineering. I find it a blessing that a human is still valuable in this process we call software engineering. And meanwhile you can use search engines just like LLMs to

I heard it almost a decade ago in Polymer and Web components circles https://www.polymer-project.org/blog/2016-05-26-IO-2016-Reca... It’s strange to look back and see that most spa projects still just bundle it all up

So some developers cannot be trusted to figure out that they, in some cases, need to add a single attribute to the button, but they can reimplement a button with all its behavior, feel, look, and accessibility settings starting with a div?

The best predictor of future events is past experience. Every US president in history has left office peacefully, the most probable outcome is that future presidents will too. Similarly, some people always think that the current president w

Or maybe people don’t want to discuss politics with you because they know you’ll label them juvenile, racist, vile POS and saying they aren’t political is the easiest way out of getting into a heated argument with you at the BBQ party. Mo

No idea why a mattress would need a server and an app... still, I find that they rolled out a fix quite quickly. They acknowledged [1] the issue just a couple of days ago and now they have a fix? At most companies, they would open a ticket,

I think the “cursed” part (from the developers point of view) is that some phones do that, some don’t, and if you don’t have both kinds available during testing, you might miss something?

Where did this ever work out? It’s extremely common that policies are universally hated by the people, yet the people in power do it anyway.
