Well instructure is slightly better than the somehow legal torture of having to use the "product" Microsoft Teams

Haptic trackpads are the secret sauce that make MacBooks so pleasant to use. You probably want one.
what's interesting to me about Cluely is that they had one of the smartest programmers I know there doing really cool stuff with React... and then they got laid off when the core team moved to New York
Re:Why Developers Keep Choosing Claude over Every Other AI on Thursday February 26, 2026 @11:30AM (#47168280)
I think this is organic. I've observed the exact same thing over the last week: I tried Google Antigravity and really liked it when I was using my Claude quota. I ran out of Claude quota and tried Gemini 3.1 Pro and it was comparatively terrible at using the tools provided by the IDE. (but it's a useful model in the browser for chat)
Re:Last Week on My Mac: Losing confidence on Tuesday December 02, 2025 @12:22AM (#46117874)
A framework laptop is very nice, and definitely has a lot of upsides, but it can't match screen, keyboard, trackpad, camera, or speaker quality with a MacBook Pro, not to mention the battery life.

My biggest problem with Thorium was lack of updates, so I hope Helium is able to remain consistent with updates. Congrats on the launch, cobalt crew!

A lot of podcast apps have a server for crawling the RSS feeds for you.

Gruber seemed like an Apple sycophant for a while because his values and tastes aligned very closely with Apple's (though he still criticized them from time to time). Now, Apple is drifting away from those values and tastes and so Gruber and others in that sphere of Apple blogs are coming down harder on Apple, especially after Alan Dye made such a mess with "Liquid Glass".
Re:My favourite Git commit (2019) on Thursday February 01, 2024 @10:29PM (#39224649)
This is why at work the only required rule for commit messages is that they include the story number, so we can very easily find at least the general reason for a change from git blame.
Having to use such a terrible hack to change scroll speed on GNOME is my least favorite thing about it.

Have you ever actually used Siri?
Re:Apple cuts off Beeper Mini's access on Saturday December 09, 2023 @01:05PM (#38584108)
Beeper fixed their other iMessage bridge service last night by rotating device serial numbers on their server farm, so I would guess this would work? To my knowledge the pypush library itself isn't broken.
Developer edition is dark mode by default and updates way more often than standard Firefox.

Besides that I'm not really sure.

Re:Titled Tuesday Cheating on Sunday November 26, 2023 @05:49PM (#38425886)
The author has a short paragraph at the end about Glicko.
While I wouldn't personally use them, that appears to be the point of all three of the services he listed.
Re:Show HN: Inshellisense โ€“ IDE style shell autocomplete on Tuesday November 07, 2023 @08:08AM (#38176308)
This is using the same library as Fig for autocomplete, but cross -platform and without requiring an account.

I think because of your banner at the top, your header bar is being pushed on top of your page content, at least on mobile.

That makes more sense. Your original sentence was unclear.

I see no mention here of unions or anything similar
Re:The Power of Achieving Flow State in DevEx on Saturday August 05, 2023 @07:50PM (#37017422)
I think it's more a warning that you're never going to be able to find a standup time that's the most efficient for every attendee
Re:Why has Britain become so poor? on Sunday July 30, 2023 @12:02PM (#36932622)
I like the general idea, but I don't know if this could ever be implemented, much less in a clean way
Re:JetBrains Mono Typeface on Wednesday July 19, 2023 @05:09PM (#36793428)
As someone who manipulates structure, the refactoring tools and the like, as well as the formatting IntelliJ does for you, make my programming less portable between editors. Text-driven development is very portable, but I actively dislike using VSCode in comparison to IntelliJ because it refactors and formats code in different ways.
Re:Minecraft Grub Theme on Tuesday July 18, 2023 @11:12AM (#36773747)
There are launchers on Flathub and Lutris for playing Bedrock Edition on Linux, but at the end of the day it was originally called Minecraft Windows 10 Edition.
Re:It Takes 6 Days to Change 1 Line of Code on Sunday July 16, 2023 @09:45AM (#36746920)
As an intern doing work in an unfamiliar framework, it was really valuable to get code review from seniors about how to better go about solving a problem structurally. Not something static analysis would've caught.
Re:How to Do Great Work on Saturday July 01, 2023 @11:19AM (#36551047)
Yeah, you can sometimes find the API or find data sent in JavaScript but not in prerendered HTML, which can save you the pain of headless scraping.
If I remember correctly this is at high dosages, so it should be much safer in a normal dosage used for hrt.
Re:Ask HN: More magazines like Quanta and Noema? on Saturday March 11, 2023 @09:20PM (#35115702)
the biggest argument against this is that communist countries still achieve great things in the face of MASSIVE setbacks and sanctions from capitalist countries with lots of power. Yet after an initial period of food insecurity, these nations tend to do great for a while. For example, the CIA reported that the Soviet diet had less calories and was more nutritious than the American diet.
In my experience, it is as good or better than Construct 2, and has only improved since I used it in depth. I haven't used Construct 3 to compare.
