Re:It may just be a game to you, but it means the world to us

> Isn't "It may just be a game to you, but it means the world to us" the grammatically correct form?
Yep, that's what I would go with. I can't see a use case for a comma after the "but" in British nor American English.
> I guess people feel like they would speak the sentence with a pause after the conjunction
Even this feels off to me when I read up to the "but" and then pause (as opposed to pausing on the "you").
Re:Ask HN: How do you organize your phone’s home screen?
on Friday July 09, 2021 @02:01PM (#27786562)
iPhone XS Max, iOS 15b2. I've grown to prefer App Library [1] over multiple pages of apps and this setup reflects that:
* Single screen with plain black background.
* Stack in top-left with small Weather and Calendar widgets.
* Stack in bottom-right with small Sleep and Fitness widgets.
* App icons for NetNewsWire, Kindle, Twitter, Financial Times, HN, and stock apps (Health, Maps, Notes, etc).
* Dock: Phone, Messages, Mail, Safari.

Re:Manager'ing: An Overview for New Managers
on Thursday July 08, 2021 @01:45PM (#27775449)
This was a nice succinct writeup. On the topic, here are some books I'd recommend for ICs making the jump to a manager role (or thinking about it):
1. The Making of a Manager (https://www.amazon.com/Making-Manager-What-Everyone-Looks-eb...)
2. The Manager's Path (https://www.amazon.com/Managers-Path-Leaders-Navigating-Grow...)
3. Crucial Conversations (https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Conversations-Talking-Stakes-...)
4. The Coaching Habit (https://www.amazon.com/Coaching-Habit-Less-Change-Forever-eb...)
5. The Five Dysfunctions of a Team (https://www.amazon.com/Five-Dysfunctions-Team-Leadership-Len...)
I'm still due to read High Output Management (https://www.amazon.com/High-Output-Management-Andrew-Grove-e...) and Extreme Ownership (https://www.amazon.com/Extreme-Ownership-U-S-Navy-SEALs-eboo...).

Re:CoffeeShopWifi.com – An HTTP website for connecting to guest WiFi

I like the straightforward explanation this site provides. That said, I tend to use http://example.com to trigger captive portals because it's an IANA reserved domain [1] that other people can't register.
This gives me confidence to browse to it without fear that the domain could lapse in the future and get taken over (e.g. in a watering hole attack).

Yep. I've found the setting seems to exist in two places, and it turns itself back on at times (that said, it's a beta):
1. Settings -> Apple ID -> Private Relay
2. Settings -> Network -> Use iCloud Private Relay

In the UK at least, private test providers [1] must collect travellers' personal details during booking, but a live ID check isn't required.

Re:Windows 11 laptops will require front facing camera in 2023
on Tuesday July 06, 2021 @12:53PM (#27751145)
I'm still unsure where exactly Microsoft documented the requirement for OEMs to add a front-facing camera from 2023. Did they publish a system requirements doc or something?
IMO the author overindexed on making vague allusions to telescreens ("1984-style future [...] laptops, desktop PCs, TVs") and criticising Microsoft for its "Productivity Score" (a different discussion entirely).

Re:Ask HN: Are GitHub, GitLab, and similars just a fad?

I was curious what had become of the GitHub edu accounts from the early 2010s.
Turns out it's now the "Student Developer Pack" [1] which is more like a bundle of third-party offers.
