Re:Creatine uptake enhances antitumor immunity on Thursday September 24, 2026 @02:38PM (#49835016)
- Enhances ANTI-tumor... sounds good - ANTI-tumor immunity... sounds bad? - Read first few paragraphs as a typical medical rube, got nowhere

So, creatine = good?

A simple macOS app to control Logitech Litra lights from your menu bar. An alternative to Logitech Options+ or CLI only tools like litra-rs.

Re:App Subscription is now my Weekend Project on Thursday January 22, 2026 @07:18AM (#46718294)
Just sucks that instead of buying a piece of software now we're going to send $100/mo to an AI giant so we can build our own crappier bespoke apps.
Perfect for a big splashy press release. Populist policy with no practical benefit to the average American.
The 2024 D&D starter set literally has 3 adventure books for Wilderness (Outside), Caves of Chaos (Dungeon), and Keep on the Borderlands (Town). Of course that game has infinite possibilities for how to 'implement' those areas but kind of an interesting parallel.
Re:OctoNote: GitHub-powered Markdown notes – revived on Thursday December 18, 2025 @07:04AM (#46311663)
After almost 5 years of lying dormant, I finally pushed an update to my iOS note-taking app — OctoNote!

OctoNote is a simple markdown-based note taking app that saves your notes as GitHub gists. This makes them easy to share, to edit on the web, and to maintain a rich editing history - since every gist is a little git repo. OctoNote basically enables a specific gist workflow - using gists to create & edit markdown files in the context of note-taking. If you're a developer who's already using GitHub (or has ever written a nice README), OctoNote should feel right at home in your workflow.

Just happy to share that I've been able to get this release out the door amid a crazy holiday schedule. Hope some of you might enjoy it!

Re:Meta is axing 600 roles across its AI division on Wednesday October 22, 2025 @03:28PM (#45673987)
I love the sound of employees being more 'load bearing'. Meta seems like a fun place to work for (for however many months you last).

It's insanely impressive. At the same time, all these videos all look terrible to me. Still get extreme uncanny valley and literally makes me sick to my stomach.

Re:Should Managers Still Code? on Tuesday March 04, 2025 @12:37PM (#43257728)
My best managers were ex-engineers who didn't touch the codebase. They understood how things worked, and could talk architecture & concepts, but they didn't expect to be able to sit down and write code at our level. Maybe they wished they would have the time/opportunity still, but realistically they were focused on leading.
How has nobody said that this should be called 'Stroll Bar'????
Re:Nobody Knows What's Happening Online Anymore on Tuesday December 19, 2023 @12:03PM (#38698180)
The article goes into that in depth, and how that hasn't really changed even on newer platforms like TikTok, just gotten harder to follow and understand.
Re:More product, fewer product managers on Sunday December 17, 2023 @10:32AM (#38673503)
Well articulated thoughts that are mostly detached from the eye-grabbing headline.

Good PM's are important. Building product-focused teams is important. More of anything != more better. Duh.

Thanks, I hate it
Any TC heads in here? Just reminds me of Jake getting Covid at a Cheesecake Factory eating nachos before seeing Tar with his brother.

Re:Visualizing Data with Swift Charts on Thursday April 06, 2023 @07:51AM (#35467109)
Utilize SwiftUI and the Swift Charts library to build a simple (but beautiful) line chart with just a few lines of code. Brief walkthrough with examples.
Exactly. I would rather be laid off with severance rather than be forced into the choice to be be offered a 100% on-site job across the country or quit. Cruel.

Actually another similar post on the front page at the same time: https://bigthink.com/progress/pessimism-is-a-barrier-to-prog... It has a great opening line:

> PESSIMISM SOUNDS SMART. Optimism sounds dumb. It’s no wonder, then, that pessimistic messages hit the headlines, and optimistic ones hardly get a middle-page snippet.

HN is my default 'is the internet working' site and that genuinely threw me for a loop across multiple devices today dealing with hotspots while our power was out.
