I actually like this about talking vs. typing. often I feel like I get better results since I think give it more context around spec and decisions.

Ask HN: Practical AI setup for staying on top of personal messages?

End-of-year reflection: I’ve let messages pile up, and I want a sustainable way to maintain the relationships I care about.Most of my personal backlog is on iPhone/iMessage, and I’m looking for a mobile-first system. I’m also juggling work + personal logistics, so I need something that works in short batches vs. being “always on”.I’m looking for success/failure stories and practical setups...

Acceptance criteria are often buggy themselves, and require more context to interpret and develop a solution.
Re:Show HN: rift – a tiling window manager for macOS on Sunday October 12, 2025 @08:51AM (#45557888)
Divvy has a pretty UI to choose the size and location of windows, and puts little buttons in the top corner of windows to change their size and location.

Rectangle provides hot keys and an icon in the menu bar to set window size and location.

I use rectangle now, but have used divvy in the past and I think is better for people who like to use their mouse vs hot keys.

Have you used this? What’s your experience like?

I’m looking for ‘a tool’ like this to help manage code changes and communicating about those releases across a set of github repos.

conceptually, I get it.
ditto, GPT-4 is very impressive with all types of mermaid [0] diagrams! even helps w/ styling and formatting tweaks. It's helped me so much with better coverage and maintainability on diagrams for software & systems projects.

'inbox zero' in this context is for the RSS reader's inbox, not email.

I remember my satisfaction w/ hitting "no new stories available" back in the 'Google Reader' days!

Can you share the script? Sounds like a cool and helpful time-saver.

I wish I could provide a useful summary, but I had it on while I was prepping for a meeting so I wasn't really paying attention. I was more surprised at my timing of seeing it on HN, searching for his twitch profile, and then right then he was going through the article I had open in another tab.

I think if you're a subscriber (I'm not) you can replay his stream from earlier.

I do remember he said somethings like...

> 'the chess stuff that they're talking about isn't 100% accurate, but close enough. No one will know/care about that who's reading the article'

> 'it seems the things they're quoting they've pulled from previous streams'

He's live right now[1] going through this New Yorker article line-by-line.

Offering some great clarifications, context, etc. The internet is great.

Sometimes it's less about the size of the payload and more about # of requests. Especially when targeting the application layer.

neat! I'm going to try it. I wonder if I can import my subscriptions from Castro? And, I wonder if there is anything similar to the queue feature to always have a custom-curated list of fresh episodes to listen to.

My only feedback before downloading... the video demo[1] (ironically for a podcast app>) has an unpleasant voiceover, the woman needs a drink of water! Content-wise it's great but I was distracted by the almost ASMR-like experience of feeling like she was very close to my ear, and I didn't like it.

So casual :-)

I use Homebrew every day. Thank you for the the incredible work in keeping things ticking along. And congrats on still enjoying it!

it's a sad club we're in. Occasionally I even go to bitinfocharts.com and look at my wallet that I will never have access to. Wonderful!
sounds fun - any links handy on how to have fun w/ this sort of thing on a 'hello world' level?
Can you elaborate a bit more?

I’m very curious because I think the existence and availability of porn and the sex industry is very important for the well-being of lots of people. Definitely some problems.. but I’d parallel those to problems with prohibition and suppression.

Have you always held this opinion? Are you religious?

can you provide some (good)links so I can read more about each of these points? Thanks!

I would love to observe you browsing and consuming web content for a day. Sounds like this sort of thing would make it much more laborious. That being said.. could be a good thing for me to not spend so much time watching dumb YouTube videos, and reading "fun" articles.
All of these are still required to cover bases across devices and apps. I think.

I just use https://realfavicongenerator.net/ which keeps things relatively easy.
