Telling Ruby coders that performance doesn't matter before rewriting everything in Rust for performance. Apart from hobbyist how will the Ruby community survive ? With friends like that ...

Hey and Basecamp suck. Basic features like search barely work, the iOS and Android apps are embarrassingly bad, and the UI looks like it was designed for Netscape Navigator 4. With Rails, dhh spent years trying to work around JavaScript , leaving the framework increasingly difficult to recommend in 2026. Why on earth would you trust him with your OS ? Even if you share his politics, you deserve better software.

I'm with you. And beyond his political views, I've never been particularly impressed by anything he's built, from Basecamp to HEY. I can at least understand why some people admire Elon Musk because of what he's accomplished, even if I don't share that admiration. But the almost cult-like devotion some people have for DHH is a complete mystery to me.

This is really a great idea. While fancy these piano tuts are quite useless compared to something like guitar tabs. Hope it will improve

It looks a lot like other Spiekermann’s font like Fira Sans or Meta Sans. Humanists fonts have been so overused by big corps that I’m not sure I want to have it in my ui.

You can prevent that without using the army. A country using its army against its own people is not a thing a democratic country does.

And talkers… How many thinkers died without self promoting their ideas ? How many doers didn’t have the ressources to execute their ideas ?

Yep 90% power chords and the sound on Nevermind was in part due to Butch Vig. It’s simple but at the time quite unheard : bit of compression a lot of overdub, maybe a little flange/chorus but it was quite minimal compared to heavy metal, guitar heroes of the time and really different from the punk bands.

I support the conclusion, but khtml should have been mentioned somewhere.

Well, Apple Health fixed this for me.

Why using grunt on a new project ?

From their FAQ : « Hey doesn’t support IMAP or POP ». Time to write a blog post about how to easily switch from Hey to another mail provider

Am I the only one to think of the text editor when I see Kate without much context in a title ?

Some people call it imperialism, but for me US is more like an hegemon, a center which can impose its cultural norms to its periphery. But some people in France like to think that’s France is a US colony. I’m fine with that, because if it’s the case, french people are treated way better than the inhabitants of former french colonies.

Yep in 2024 we still haven’t found a generic datepicker and hundreds of people on the internet are coding their own version. HTML5 snafu

Back in the days I’ve discovered NetworkX and Gephi in a Coursera course and was really surprised about how simple it managed to represent visually such a hard problem (I’ve never been able to find this course again it started with Erdos number that’s the only thing I remember)

As a side note Herzog advocating for Zoom instead of Teams is l’heure last thing I expected to read

I’m surprised that Knuth’s book isn’t in the top 5 and I’m very surprised to see Descarte’s meditation as even in France no one longer reads this ( must be related to the various posts about meditation on HN imho ) and Franck ( not Brian ) Herbert wrote Dune. I don’t trust this post and indeed I don’t trust anything published on the Internet after Llms went mainstream.

We’re in 2023. Use reader mode.

This guy should have monetized his blog, as in every discussion vaguely related to php someone come with a link to this page.

Worst thing is the comment (if there's any) is probably something like

The mu4e front end looks really nice. I’ve ne er wanted to use Emacs as a mail client but this could worth a try

I actually did love Facebook and had success with ads in the past but there were so much redesigns in the ad manager that I can’t use it anymore

+1... And the last one without cloud pushed down your throat
