I use them when appropriate, and have for long before LLMs were using them. I'm not going to stop now.

I follow him, and despite being an Apple commentator, he can be very critical of Apple. You might have missed this from earlier this year: https://daringfireball.net/2025/03/something_is_rotten_in_th...

I know of someone who, at a different company, did this. They were discovered and fired immediately. Don’t follow this advice.
Re:Ask HN: Are you still using your Vision Pro?

Yes, for movies and TV, and as a virtual monitor occasionally. I've travelled with it quite a bit as well, and it's great on long international flights.
Re:Apple Maps Gradually Winning over Google Maps Users, Report Suggests

I'm currently visiting Poland and Estonia, and have been using Apple Maps to walk from place-to-place. It's been working well for me—I have yet to get lost using it, and it seems to be giving me good directions.

Marine batteries are commonly 6v.

Also a happy NNW user. I'd been using Feedbin, which is also good, but since I'm a Mac and iOS user, I switched to using NNW with iCloud syncing, which has been working great. It's so nice to have fully-native apps!
Re:Ask HN: Why are online training classes divided into small chunks?

I don't mind it being broken up, but I would prefer that there wasn't any kind of opening/titles/intro to the ones beyond the first.
There's a "Get MDN Plus" at the top of the MDN pages. Link: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/plus
This is exactly backwards, IMO. Command-P is "print" on the Mac, and always has been; Command-O is open. This is the kind of thing that makes non-native apps stand out as poor platform citizens.

Longtime YNAB user here. It was rough moving to nYNAB at first, and I missed features for awhile. It's generally caught up and surpassed YNAB 4 in most respects. Things I still miss: the red right arrow (good reason to abandon it, but I still liked it), and being able to see three months side-by-side. Starting over occasionally is not a bad thing, IMO, and I did a fresh start with nYNAB. I created a "Next Month's Income" category, and use it exactly like YNAB 4; I don't budget beyond the current month. It woekd just fine that way. I generally ignore "Age of Money", which took over as the "Live on Last Month's Income" rule, and still follow the latter.
