Depends on your target market. In places like India, Android absolutely dominates. In countries like the US and Australia, iOS does. Especially among younger users where iOS has almost universal coverage.
Well they blew more than 30B on share buy backs with an average price above $300/share. It makes the metaverse investment look trivial.

How did Slashdot's voting system work?
i like using them in php and not javascript, it's almost like a switch, that tells me we're in a new context, don't write php here.

Python is nice, but the whitespace can often have issues, and formatters can be wonky in vscode... It's pretty though, like rails. Still, I'm most comfortable w/ Laravel/php so will stick w/ that for time-being.
Jellyfin has been great for managing my music collection after Google Music was discontinued, and it's also worked great for movies and shows.

It would be great if Jellyfin could manage podcasts, too. There's a healthy client ecosystem for Jellyfin, and I prefer those clients over other podcast clients.
we are aesthetic creatures. what point is there in pushing humanity forward if there's no humanity left after the push

this work is incredible, and will open up new realms of artistry in interface design and beyond
I find that assholes often provide some of the most useful commentary.

A user on here who shall remain nameless is an idiot of the highest caliber in just about every topic _apart from the one she's an expert in_. If I block her then I lose all that useful commentary on that one specific topic which happens to be something I care about.

Finding out that people you despise aren't wrong about everything is one step in growing up that I'm seeing fewer and fewer people make. That your outsourcing your mental stability to a computer should be a red flag. How do you deal with people who you dislike when they get into a position you can't ignore?

Currently the choice seems to be scream at the sky/invade the capitol.
Yeah, as much as I’ll deride HN, I made the mistake of trying to talk to people on YouTube comments and Steam forums today. HN is an intellectual utopia compared to those.
We have a right to not be murdered. That is a right, not a privilege.
Consider this statement my own, but look at my profile for bias.

I think you might be misunderstanding. Look at the companies there now:

https://github.com/flowforge/flowforge - The CTO is the creator.

https://www.mermaidchart.com/about-us/ - Knut Sveidqvist is the creator of mermaid and involved.

https://github.com/koor-tech - Rook business, from a Rook Maintainer

https://fleetdm.com/ - Long time contributor is CTO.

"Recruit" meaning see if the creator is interested in being CEO/CTO. And if they are one, find the other co-founder.

OCV is trying to throw money at OSS maintainers and help them make a business with his connections, capital and experience.

I literally watched him do it with DZ. I don't expect that to change with this new venture. But I am biased.
Using yt-dlp + Jellyfin has been a revelation for serving my kids safe, vetted video content. You can even download an entire YouTube channel at once. The kids aren’t at an age where they need that much novelty, so watching old favorites again and again is fine by them.

I should probably also mention that we’re teaching them Chinese, so having an all-Chinese kids media library is invaluable. No English ads to break the immersion - no ads, period.
Thus, by reading 1000 HN comments per day I have the chance to learn 10 useful things.

Worth every second. :)
It’s not a binary choice.

Expanding your toolbelt with this knowledge is like giving yourself an extra set of native functions.
This is art and clever engineering mixed into one. I think it's one of the coolest things I've seen lately on HN. I wonder why you view something so harmless as so culturally damning.
Ha that’s great! Hopefully we continue to see these numbers as increase as a leading indicator of a wealthy and well fed society.
All you've done is asserted it doesn't make sense. You could at least make an argument as to why.
Ads don’t suck!

They’re a way for us to read articles, watch videos, see images, etc. without paying with our credit cards. Plus they’re a way for us to learn about new products and services we might be interested in.

What’s wrong with that?
Well they said:

> I sometimes wonder what value these people see in this stuff.

And you answered it yourself with your own example:

> Now you are driving your jeep off road on your mountain ranch saying some people need an SUV and you are right, but you aren't rebutting what he is saying.

That's an example of someone seeing value in it right?
> The professionals that use it, obviously, know their job. They aren't stupid.

I will not defer to authority. I want an explanation for why the percentage of aggregate “chemical energy contained in the links of molecules” is considered a meaningful metric for anything other than “how much percentage heat would I produce if i threw them into a fire”, let alone mammal population health or diversity.

> Well, the difference is that nobody uses your metric.

Correct, because it is not meaningful, and neither is biomass.
Was just about to mention this.

You might not need SCSS. In fact, you never need SCSS (or SASS or any of the others). ("hot take" airhorns sound effect)
Spending 1 billion a month on something I still perceive as a video game is lunacy. FB could practically purchase the entire games industry at these investment levels. This would be the production budget of 2 Rockstar titles per month.

... which begs the question, where is it actually going?
I might be a bit pessimistic here, but I'm betting that's not an experienced, trained individual that's responding to the ticket. It's like a level one techie who's basically just moving the ticket from one queue to another and potentially waking someone up if it looks scary enough.

That's not really the same thing.

Not every video is mixed well, and audio compression makes dialogue difficult for me to parse. I have the same difficulty on the phone, too, because of the speech compression.
The true activism is the media that highlights this kind of thing. In college, we had a news story, that a friend had found, pinned to a wall. The story was about a man who had lit himself on fire, in protest of something, but people hadn't realized that he was doing it and his body was only discovered days later. We kept the story as a kind of dark joke, but it highlights, i think, that the effectiveness of a protest is related to how much attention it gets - not what you are doing or why. An extreme action, like self-immolation, that nobody pays attention to, is not nearly as influential as a mild action, like gluing yourself to a protective cover, that lots of people pay attention to.

Someone glued themselves to a glass covering. Okay? Did I need to know this? Why is it in the news?
JellyFin would be my server of choice if not for one nagging issue; it doesn't play nice with Chromecast OTB (also, subtitle management is a bit winky, but its been a while so maybe thats changed). Hence I'm still on the ever-declining Emby still.
I think Kodi covers 1 and 2. Maybe Plex is slightly better at connecting to stuff like Chromecast / Smart TV? Those kind of walled devices aren't to my taste so I haven't tried them, well that and they didn't exist when I set things up.

Do you use Plex as a client in all cases?

There's a decent chance I just don't get it because I'm excessively particular in how I want things set up. Using a different video player on my PC is a non-starter for me. As is granting a third party access to files on my local network. So I've built my own solutions for pretty much any feature Plex has, except possibly user friendliness (which is the most likely reason I may use jellyfin, but not for personal use).
> I mean that's some rose-tinted shit if I ever heard it,

I was trying to figure out how to express myself, but I think you got it.

98SE was still pretty bad because pre-NTFS filesystems would decay over time (of course so would ext2, but linux generally crashed a lot less).
Yes, I'll need to update the site. I'm always torn between putting too much info there or not enough, but I guess I need more.

We don't keep an image per customer. But we do have general images, so something like ruby-2.8-node-14 that contain a lot of the setup. Then building is just running the customers build commands, "yarn install" etc.

The rebuilding heuristic is a list of relevant files. We hash the contents and if the hash doesn't match we know we need to rebuild.

What stack are you using for your tests ?
Reports of the demise of comment quality have been greatly exaggerated.
If the AI gave actionable advice, fine. If not, it’s a violation of the law.
SSHuttle was created by the CEO/co-founder of Tailscale :)
Great to see Jellyfin thrive.

Ultimately after more than two decades of sailing the seas, I landed on a plexshare. I pay $20/month and get everything my heart desires in 4K Remux even, and it's so simple my wife can use it.

The only way I see myself going back to self-hosting the content and media server is if hard drives suddenly become ridiculously cheap, like $100 for 16TB or something crazy like that.
I've posted some blog type content over the years and don't know any good way to get anybody to read it (or really even a reason why they should). Posting on HN gets way more interaction and views than most people's blogs would
>If I block her then I lose all that useful commentary on that one specific topic which happens to be something I care about.

Yes, I have a few entries of that type. I have them as `color: #dddddd !important` so that they show up colored as flagged comments instead of being completely hidden.

>That your outsourcing your mental stability to a computer should be a red flag.

Absolutely. Blocking a person from your life is not a trivial decision. It dehumanizes them. You should make it only after exhausting all other options and understanding what it would feel like if it happened to you.

>How do you deal with people who you dislike when they get into a position you can't ignore?

That I have to deal with people I dislike in N situations doesn't mean I should accept that I have to deal with them in N + 1 situations.
Believe it or not, I'm actually looking for a good faith refutation that doesn't rely on sentiment.
An Adequate Left-Associated Binary Numeral System in the Lambda Calculus [pdf]

In my opinion the best way to make friends is be the person that "makes friends everywhere you go". There is huge benefit to learning more about peoples' lives, even if you never see that person again.

Regardless of what some people may say, it's normal to strike up a conversation with a random person (in the US at least). Just do that with more people and you'll eventually find good friends.
You often simply can’t, by design. It’s fair to assume that the operators of many mass-market services have made business decisions, right or wrong, that the potential benefits of receiving public suggestions and complaints don’t justify the costs of review and processing.

Without a sales contact, paid support agreement, friendly insider, or some other relationship through which to make a submission, I simply wouldn’t bother. I’d suggest spending your time instead helping those who would be grateful for it.
Also for turtles. This might be the originator of the format? It's the first I was aware of, anyway.

NWN2 was such an odd duck from an engine reuse perspective. When development on NWN2 began, Obsidian was handed a much older version of the Aurora engine source than what was currently available. While they did do amazing work with what they had, many weird bugs that were addressed by updated versions of mainline Aurora were now things Obsidian had to address in addition to the challenges they had to update the engine for the new game.
Ya know, the point is lost when one starts to debate the meanings of words. You and I both know what "thriving" means.

Value is sentiment; you cannot refute a value statement without relying on it.
It would be helpful to add the total number of meals consumed per unit time as well, and perhaps the number of humans born/dying.

Car rentals and horseback rides are both transportation, but most people would say the difference is not trivial.

Movies, tv, and video games are all visual entertainment, but video games are different enough that most people are generally not happy about the idea of raising the price of Netflix to finance a video game studio. Art museums are visual entertainment as well, but raising the price of Netflix to build art galleries in select locations wouldn't fly well, either.

In this case, Spotify is doing anything but partitioning off podcasts. As many comments here reveal, most people are seeing podcasts pushed heavily in their music interface.
Pretty cool, but the map really needs to have a street label option.

He is the one responsible for Azure and cares far more about Microsoft 365 and getting their services onto as many platforms as possible. So use your Mac long as you're using Word, Outlook, Teams etc.

Can I recommend you try something with laravel, just for fun?

Build a small app using laravel + filamentphp (admin/backend): https://filamentphp.com/

In one day or less you get an amazing backend system that's so easy to manage it drives me crazy how hard I had to work for the same functionality before.

Filament kinda made me fall back in love w/ Laravel to be honest.
Indeed. As a gentleman of intellect I insist upon only the highest quality, artisinally crafted bullshit. No mere pedestrian mind-muffins will satisfy the refined palate of the HN sophisticate.
Something I appreciate about HN is having the opportunity to make a case to dozens or perhaps hundreds of my peers, without the burden of having and maintaining an audience. I don't think people recognize my name from one thread to another, and if they do I don't think they have much of a parasocial relationship with me. I don't see any evidence people "follow" my comments, for instance; the people I talk to more frequently seem like people who just have similar interests and click the same threads, not people who are interested in me and are following what I do. On two occasions people have sent me an email thanking me for making a certain comment, but it always felt like a peer pulled me aside to have a one-on-one chat, not like I was some kind of personality.

There's a moment towards the end of the Bo Burnham special "what." where he talks about the weight having an audience has in his life, and he says, "if you can go through your life without having an audience, you should do it." I do have thoughts to share and I am working on starting a blog, but I try to keep Burnham's warning in mind.
All of business is a sort of charade, Amazon might be "sorry that your product was disappointing and want to offer you a refund" by which they mean "if we give you a refund we think you'll feel confident enough to buy more from us". You still get what you wanted though.

Not in any normal sense of that phrase. When all you own is a shirt, losing your shirt isn't really a big deal.
My reaction when I read: "Audiobooks on Spotify" - Finally! Why has it taken so long to have subscription access to all audiobooks???

And then I read that you actually have to buy individual audiobooks - WTF???!!!

I can stream ,000,000s of music, movies and series with a subscription - why not audiobooks??? (and don't mention Audible - for $23/month I can stream two books = BFD)

Not. Try again.
"You're not wrong, Walter, you're just an asshole" plays in my head reading all the "while what you said is interesting, allow me to shit all over you" comments on HN. It's also the only forum I participate in because it's still got really good discussions and content

I understand that they find it anti-competitive but I have a problem in how they summarize their argument - they blame Apple for the cumbersome process while the real problem is them skirting the rules on IAP. The TLDR sound rather sound like “Apple wants use to use anti-competitive IAP but we don’t want to so we have to make the process of buying audiobooks complicated”. This sounds more close to the situation they describe.

When apps use IAP it’s very user-friendly. People sometimes prefer it over putting down their payment details in yet another app. I disagree that forcing apps to use IAP is user-hostile. I am not arguing that the IAP mandate is perfect, but these are the rules right now. And you can’t break rules just because you think they’re insane. Dura lex sed lex.

CSS 3d transforms happen on a different thread and don't block main thread. Whilst with WebGL you still have to do some work on the JS thread. So I would say CSS animations are faster.

Makes a lot of sense.

I wonder how much money Microsoft could save if they simply maintained Windows with the minimum effort possible, instead of spending all this extra effort doing horrible things to it.
I agree with your point about the 30% tax being somewhat unfair... however, I think your average user would honestly just prefer Apple be the gatekeeper to their phone for them, and not have to worry about which App Stores to trust and which not to.

Apple does not have to be in the business of making phones for the (extreme~!) technical + security conscious crowd.
> To me this comment falls somewhere between "No true Scotsman" and whataboutism. Just because we're benefiting from history, doesn't mean we can't criticize it.

To me, that's somewhat like: your parents went to college, got good jobs, and sacrificed, all so you could have a better life than they did.

But hey, that doesn't mean you can't criticize them for being heteronormative.
Even for the political discussions, HN still has the least-bad discussions on the internet, which I think is why people keep engaging in them. The only discussions that really bother me are the reddit style stuff

Cough... https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=amichail

You can often spot the impact of "why is the sky blue" type posts in that there are no discussion threads, it's just a long list of one-of "Rayleigh scattering" replies
A surprising amount of stuff that you might think it's done with just dumb bitmap rendering surfaces, is these days actually painted on graphics primatives with it all composited together by your GPU.

It likely isn't using much more power than if running at entirely idle, often enough less than the extra a CPU might use doing the same job at a lower frame rate, displaying and updating your current desktop.
Trust and Truth are not synonymous. They are related, yes of course.

But Trust is something that is earned. No one can forced to trust X or Y. If you're trusted because of manipulation then...you're not actually trusted. Red flag.

On the other hand, contrary to those demanding they be trusted, truth is often a spectrum. Witnesses see the same crime yet each has a different recollection. Same truth, but different experiences breed different interpretations.

This is the way life works. To insist otherwise is grounds for trusting that entity less. And less. And less. The entiry leads its own demise. Funny how that and a lack of ownership and accountability go hard in hand.

The question isn't why do people trust these institutions less? The question is, why should they be trusted at all?
Most people don't care about being body builders, so I am not sure why you are getting into this topic. Every reputable nutritional organization says vegetarian / vegan diet is ok and on top of that the longest living populations are mostly eating plant-based diet, suggesting they are not only nutritionally appropriate, but also desirable in order to maintain body function over time.
Relevantly, not only can you build 3-D models of pyramids in it, there's even a mod for it that generates them at random: https://content.minetest.net/packages/Wuzzy/tsm_pyramids/
I agree somewhat, in that if the capabilities are shown to be indispensable to achieving a person’s goals or the product becomes a new social norm like smart phones then people may be willing to spend that much. But the $1000 barrier is a steep one. There’s a lot of push back for that on phones as it is and they’re a practical necessity in modern society.

It’s going to take a lot of time for Apple Glass to build up the ecosystem to the point where it meets that indispensable criteria and that time will only increase if there are less users on the platform due to high entry costs. I bought a 1st gen Apple Watch and ended up selling it shortly after because I just didn’t use it. The first gen was a pretty terrible product. It’s come on a long way but it’s only now with the Ultra watch that I’d consider buying again. That’s seven years and I’m a tech person. Your average guy in the street is less inclined to want to purchase.
I have to be careful here, but the simple reason is that the previous engine was not designed to handle the density nor the verticality of the CP77 world.

Not that Unreal Engine 5 can handle a world like CP77 either, despite what people may think with the Matrix demo.
Some of the Microsoft hardware form factors are interesting.

For example, the Surface Laptop Studio form factor in MBP form would be really nice.

I'd like to use the iPad form factor for managing photos and reading books. But when I've used an iPad, I usually end up wanting a keyboard, so I add one, then I realize I have a MBP that can't do as much.

So to me it makes sense to take a 13" MBP, add touch to the screen, and hinge the screen in such a way that it turns into a thick tablet.
