I was a big fan and heavy user at the time (Brazilian here!) but how does bringing Orkut back solve anything? Like or not people moved from mostly-text, friend-activity social media long ago

Temu Sans cracked me up

having some screenshots or screen recordings is always nice for... UI libraries

the framing of this headline - "scientists stunned" while conveying pollution hurts lung recovery is a gem

Hard to make a case to engange with an AI written article even if not fully slop

I learned SQL when I was 13 or 14 (I'm 37 now). Fully agree with the article, but it's a shame some choices behind the syntax make it so clumsy. Some choices (minimal), like allowing "," (commas) after columns in the SELECT clause even on the last column declared would be minor in terms of compilation and a GREAT improvement in ergonomics (and composability). Some more recent SQL idioms do allow for tweaks/improvements on these, but it's far from a standard - still niche. Long live SQL.

there is a special place in hell for pages like these that don't show examples

Same. I now tend to simply abandon writing when I see those tell tale signs

wow. this is insane. never new such mechanic was ever remotely considered or possible. pretty neat

I was thinking the same! At first, I thought I was firmly in the “can clearly visualize” camp, but the more I read and hear people describe how they form (or don't) mental images, the less sure I am.

Never easy to pull these off, so congrats! App might be modern in the sense that you coded it in 2025, but looks straight out of Windows 98

I get it and don’t disagree but isn’t this being too literal? At the limit, isn’t this expecting author to be overly precious with the title? I mean, I could as well ask author to state a precise statistic like “93.76% of business books are entertainment”

fair!

thank you! so needed. there is a special place in hell for folks that don't attach screenshots to fundamentally graphic projects.

Is this article correct?

> Interestingly, the list also includes non-traditional coffee-consuming countries such as Lebanon and Brazil, which could be attributed to the global spread of coffee-related business and culture

Really? Both Brazil and Lebanon are traditional coffee consuming countries. Brazil in particular is the largest producer of coffee in the world and coffee is everywhere, since pretty much forever.

I’m yet to understand how a tool to create graphic drawings does not provide any trace of a screenshot of example outputs in their website; and upon reading this very comment section, I learned it has a GUI, of which of course there is not a screenshot either in their page. Go figure

so frustrating to not have screenshots or video recordings on projects like this – game engines are naturally a visual beast

Dude from Sao Paulo here. I found this law a blessing. The picture in the articles make it look like the city is scattered with abandoned billboards but that's not the case. You won't see any one from SP complaining from this piece of law. City looks better, with intrusive, cheap-looking street advertising (mostly) gone. Businesses survided.

Any kite surfers? How have you found Windy for spotting decent places to surf? I’m a fan of Windy but sometimes find it a bit “lowres” in the sense that it does a good job on translating wind direction/force in broader, more general areas while it’s hit and miss for specific spots (eg beaches or nooks). POVs?

This s pseudoscience. Working with large consumer brands in the last 10 years, I’ve never seen any of this applied to real life. This has no value and I’m surprise it was voted to HN frontpage.
