(i work at discord) Not saying that wasn't ONE of the reasons but the main reason was really that a large chunk of users had no idea that they even had a discriminator, as it was added on top of your chosen username. "add me on d

I run both, Tahoe on laptop, Sequoia on mac studio. Tahoe is strictly worse, the corner radius drag issue is driving me crazy on the daily.

That used to be true but they absolutely do this today :( Spent so much time trying to repro some functionality only to realize that Windows has an allow list for what apps it listens to for certain APIs.

Twitch does not add 10-60 seconds of latency. The average latency with default OBS settings is 3-6 seconds. Source: I worked on the Twitch video system for 6 years.

It conflicts me to do “the reddit thing” and say “please read the article” but no. Personal item is not a carry on bag in the eyes of the airline.

Under $100: I bought a $2 rice cooker at a yard sale in 2020. Changed my life, yes really. Rice ALWAYS turns out well. I don't know why I bothered to make it on the stove before.

For what I hack on I often run into issues with the FFI performance between go/c# <-> c/c++. I’d rather not write C or C++ and Rust is one of the few languages that allows me to mess around with obscure libs at native perfor

The goal here has been for this to be transparent to users and "just work", hopefully you should see no downsides to this! If you do, let us know!

Hey Sean, we both worked at Twitch Video but I left just as you were joining. I currently work on the Discord video stack and am somewhat curious about how you imagine Discord leveraging WHIP/WHEP. Do you see it as a way for these clie

Fun to see this posted this on HN (I am the author!). Happy to answer any questions. I think the general question I didn't really touch on is "why" and really the only answer for that is "why not?"

The author ends the review by saying “AVP is the superior product” so I find it hard to agree with your take. The information presented clearly shows the tradeoffs that Apple has chosen with their displays. It’s left up to the reader to dec

The Cyberpower series sold at Costco is unironically good. No frills or cool stuff, UI from 1995 but supports USB monitoring out of the box and just… works. I was about to make the brother comparison but after reading your entire comment re

I know time is relative but I realized 2015 is 9 years ago ? Made me feel old.

Yeah it sets timers, that's about it. Not saying this product is good but the intention of what they are trying to enable here is a world apart from what Apple is running on the watch.

My understanding is that modern renderers render in a "physically accurate" way. However, cameras throughout history has never captured images in a "physically accurate" way but rather through a set of imperfect techniqu

Credit card reward systems & points are not free. Comes at the cost of higher transaction fees that eventually get passed on to the customer. I’ve found these schemes much less prevalent in Europe (with the exception of AMEX, but half o

I WANT to switch to Firefox but the reality is that the experience is still sometimes rough compared to chrome. It’s the small things that gets me. On Mac, clicking a link when Firefox isn’t open sometimes opens two windows. Sometimes the k

Not sure if you can draw that conclusion yet. The deck has been perpetually sold out since launch and is still a 6 month wait to get a device, they are selling them faster than they make them at the moment. I don’t think this product will e

Phone number verification is purely one of many ways for Discord to drive down the amount of spam. Not used for any other purposes. We’re ofc working hard on enabling alternative solutions. Source: I lead the anti-abuse team at Discord
