drosan··on Personal Reason for Hating Facebook (2015)
So that person calls himself/herself an "introvert" (I hate when ppl justify their lifestyle with that word btw) then complains than he never got to class reunion. Then throws some stronger motives about his friend suicide yet griefs more about inability to "say goodbye" or "i feel responsible and hurt".

And overall says about facebook hate but, like, it is just a platform, a technology; it all starts and ends up with people, so he'd better say "I hate people but want their attention but don't want to tell 'em that by owning a facebook profile".

drosan··on A UI Experiment with the iPhone X’s Front-Facing Camera
Yep, and that is exactly what I addressed in my first comment - that head tracking mechanism was already used in mainstream technology piece.

Yet it was essentially the same technology that was named "wild experiment" in the article above.

Also visually the scene does move accordingly, mostly because the top display is tecnhically two displays in one and they render the scene from 2 different angles.

Nope, on New 3DS the view wasn't fixed, it actually tracked your head position to fix the picture accordingly.

Is it a joke? "Wild experiment"? "first to take the effect mainstream"? What kind of bullshit is that?

The said effect and the head tracking principle was already used in the New Nintendo 3DS consoles that was sold millions worldwide. Not only that - 3DS' top screen has a true "parallax barrier" screen, means it displays a 3D picture with depth and all.

drosan··on Ask HN: I'm writing a book about white-collar drug use, including tech sector
Hardly a drug, but I take a "cosmonaut pills", Phenylpiracetam, for years. No side effects for me (tho it varies from person to person as I saw), but compared to Adderal (which I'd gladly take but it is too much pain to obtain here) it is like kiddie vitamins.
drosan··on Coders Should Fear What Happened to Writers
Usual 'coding monkey' that is mostly copypasting 2-3 lines, thinks it is a 'programming' and thinks she is a programmer and tries to dwell on that topic -_-
drosan··on Calling bullshit on ‘Apple is really bad at design’
> I guess the ‘courage’ statement kinda makes more sense now?

iPhone 7 wasn't the first phone without said 3.5mm jack; several vendors released android phones without it before Apple even rumored their potatophone7.
