I love this! I'm writing short stories and I use Astro to build the site, I generate sharable qr codes and epubs for every story as well as the whole, and I use gh-pages to push to GitHub pages. And I hear you about over-engineering. I

Okay, the article I read on HN yesterday about the ram shortage crippling inexpensive devices feels relevant here. As far as I can tell, the article treats the low memory capacity as a foolish business decision rather than perhaps a require

In case you didn't already know or haven't considered it, you can find right-angle usb-c MagSafe adaptors that basically allow the charging cable to disconnect from the device like MagSafe.

Oh, wow--what if Big Ketchup is behind this? Huge, if true.

So, hold on--the author's soul-breaking complaint isn't all of the "quirks" and inconsistencies with the Date functions, but rather the fact that it's an object? Specifically, an object with mutable properties in a

Here's my brilliant idea: the longer it takes for an answer to be marked correct, or the more answers there are before one is marked correct, the more points that answer deserves.

Surely you're being hyperbolic. I've seen some atrocious UX before. Maybe what you mean is it's a good idea but the scrolling part should be list-based instead of page-based.

It's not that the product you're building is a commodity. It's that the tools you're using to built it are. Why not build a landing page using HTML and CSS and tailwind? Why not use swift to make an app? Why not write an

This reads like "Hey, we're not vibe coding, but when we do, we're careful!" with hints of "AI coding changes the costs associated with writing code, designing features, and refactoring" sprinkles in to stand o

When they say their battery storage capacity is 15,000 MW, do they mean MWh? Because watts are time-independent, or rather, they're like speed to Joule's (watt-hour's) distance.

I still don't get the point of Gaussian Splats. How are they better than triangles?

It's very nice, but why? The lack of descenders makes it slightly harder to read. More of the letters look the same.

Is this similar to Peltier coolers?

I don't understand. I run a Plex instance on my home server as well. Are you referring to jellyfin not needing a centralized Plex account? Or do most Plex users rely on a plex-provided server?

I am a faithful Plex lifetime user and have never had problems. That said, I shouldn't be blinded by convenience. I hear jellyfin is a good alternative. Can someone share - how easy is it to administer for clients outside of my network

What the author is missing is the metric that matters more than shipping product: how much happier am I when my AI auto complete saves me typing and figures out what I'm trying to articulate for me. If devs using copilot are happier--a

I am not getting rid of windows 10 for several years at least. Too many of my workflows require windows apps, and windows 11 is incoherent, full of ads, and way too controlling.

I'm on my phone, trying this. It's a question about how many people are in the air right now. - when I tap on a factor, I can edit the slider, but it doesn't do anything. - when I tap another factor, the previous editor stays

It's nice but it takes a million clicks to get to another day's puzzle. Tap to close the results page, Tap the toast to show the close button, tap the close button, tap the calendar, tap the day. Maybe some big left and right arro

I'd like to play this on my phone but everytime I try to zoom or pan it thinks I'm making a guess in the middle of the ocean. Also it often gives me a success when the country is definitely not within the chosen circle. Sometimes

You would just start typing, and it would try and select each letter in turn, or show a little blip if you didn't have that character available

When the vertical bar is very short, like two or three letters only, it is hard to find space to tap and drag the bar up or down. A more generous vertical tap-and-drag region, or handles, or up/down arrows, would be nice on a phone.
