Stackoverflow is completely different. It prioritizes the experience of readers over posters - being the one who asks a question is not a good experience at all, but being the one who searches and finds an answer is really good. What they do have worked really well for this goal, and I have great respect for their initial decision.
Re:Monetizing hobbies

As a software developer, when I monetized my hobby code that solved a niche problem, I needed to spend 10x more time to make it from "usable for me" to "usable for users".
Re:Light mode, Dark mode, and Gen-Z mode?

I remember reading an article comparing Google maps with Waze and it criticized the UI of Google maps to be “traditional” and considered the Waze UI to be superior. I guess it was written by gen-z.
At the time I was shocked - since when did the google UI become the traditional? They really had no clue how long it took us to get things look right.
Re:Ask HN: What do you think of recording video meetings?

Personal experience: sometimes someone has clearly said something, and I heard every word, but my brain didn't process it. When I go back to re-watch the recording, I get so much more information. It's similar with watching a movie the 2nd time.
Re:China to provide 5 mln yuan worth of humanitarian assistance to Ukr...

You have 2 facts: 1. the CCP made average Chinese citizens 30x richer in 30 years. 2. somehow everybody in the West thinks CCP is bad and believes Chinese people hate their government.
These 2 facts don't match, and you should think why, maybe some propaganda is at work.
Edit: crap I forgot I'm green, which looks so bad when I make this kind of arguments.

If you use css-in-js libaries, "//" just works. At least that's my experience with styled-components.

Well it has 1 more lens for wide angle. As far as iPhone goes, if you like to zoom out when taking photos, you need to buy the 2-lens models; if you like to zoom in, buy the 3-lens model.

All three is one thing, which is a thing that doesn't matter depending on who you ask.

This post has 500 comments, but 5k people have actually read it. That's the real silent majority, whose opinions you'll never know. All social medias are like this, but people always forget about this fact, because it's the 500 comments that draw your attention.

I've tried some Android phones with fingerprint reader in the back, and it's 10x better than iPhone fingerprint reader in ways you can't imagine until you've tried. Unfortunately I still have to stay with iPhones for other reasons.

I think iPhone11 is another good choice. It's similar price, slightly older processor but better camera, and should function 5 years too.
