There's your answer

I've been using Typora for years. It has a pretty great export/print.

I'm working a new Fantasy Football league/format that is category-based (like hockey/baseball) in an attempt to make games more "watchable". The problem with traditional Fantasy Football, is that half of the game (defence) is ignored, while not very economically-valuable positions, like RB and TE, are elevated far past their real world relevance. This new system is my attempt at fixing both problems!
Re:SwiftUI After 7 Years on Sunday August 02, 2026 @04:22PM (#49147939)
I've noticed that developers who started with UIKit really have a hard time working with SwiftUI. I think this is because it's not just new syntax, it's an entirely different way to think: state is the source of truth, views are ephemeral, and you describe UI instead of managing it.
Re:SwiftUI After 7 Years on Sunday August 02, 2026 @04:11PM (#49147846)
Agreed. SwiftData is terrible for anything more than like 2 "Models". I have a bunch of apps written with SwiftData and a bunch more with GRDB... I hate touching the SwiftData ones.

> real, production-grade UI framework

What does this even mean? There are hundreds of thousands of apps in the App Store that are 100% SwiftUI. They are real. And they are very much "production grade".

The only people still complaining about SwiftUI 7 years later are the UIKit holdouts that never took the time to properly learn how to use it.

I think you'd be surprised to learn how many real production apps are actually running on top of SQLite (by way of Cloudflare D1).

I don't understand UBI.

Let's say a burger costs $10. Then UBI is implemented. But not just like $1K/month UBI... $1M/year UBI... for everyone! There's no way that the burger is still $10 now. Right?

Won't the economy just soak up all the extra UBI money? So a burger will cost $1000 in world where everyone gets $1M/year? And like $20 when everyone gets $1K/month? Isn't it all just a wash?

Looks a lot like Swift! Awesome!

Re:Volvo Centum is Dalton Maag's new typeface for Volvo on Tuesday December 23, 2025 @03:48PM (#46369299)
I thought Volvo was publicly traded. Had to look it up.

Volvo Group - sells trucks - publicly traded - Swedish

Volvo Cars - sells cars - not publicly traded - 100% owned by Geely (Chinese)

Volvo Cars ≠ Volvo Group

Would highly recommend listening to the latest Hard Fork podcast with Matthew Prince (CEO, Cloudflare): https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/01/podcasts/hardfork-age-res...

I was skeptical about their gatekeeping efforts at first, but came away with a better appreciation for the problem and their first pass at a solution.

I think the question to ask about your two scenarios: in which is it faster and cheaper to get from v1 to v2? From v2 to v3? I think, for right now, it's cheaper under scenario B. But in the future? Who knows!

Ask HN: How does my usage of LLMs train the underlying models?

I understand that using tools like Chat, Cursor, and Claude Code for software development is likely providing training data to help these LLMs get better at coding (the irony isn't lost on me that I might be contributing to making myself obsolete...)But I'm curious about the actual mechanics: How exactly does this feedback loop work? When I accept, reject, or modify the code that these models...
