mvuijlst··on iA asks: How Much Would You Charge for iA Presenter?
I don't see anything that can't be done just as easily with PowerPoint and outline view.

And it's Mac only. And I do not get the impression you get any sort of control -- layout seems as if it's automagic.

I would not pay for this. I would not want to use this.

mvuijlst··on Ask HN: Has the iPad Replaced Your Laptop?
No. Got a recent one a month or two ago -- it's not even charged anymore. Wildly overrated device, horrible OS.
mvuijlst··on Wikipedia: Requests_for_comment/Deployment_of_Vector_(2022)
Hilarious, how just over a hundred curmudgeons who just don't like optimal line width for reading could be able to block this.
mvuijlst··on “Autistic people can’t acknowledge when they’re wrong”
Heh. "The manager almost certainly isn't a fool, and likely understands the author's point already".

Famous last words.

mvuijlst··on Notre Dame rises again
Short film here: https://vimeo.com/699756494?embedded=true&source=video_title...
mvuijlst··on Publii: Open-source local WYSIWYG static site CMS
I remember being one of the first users of Hotdog. Sending heaps of bug reports and feature requests, and in the end even having the author over in Belgium to negotiate a European distribution deal.
mvuijlst··on On Scapegoating the Unvaccinated: Analysis of Propaganda During the Pandemic
Andrew Wakefield and Jenny McCarthy would like to have a word about that "new category of social identification that has been naturalized by COVID-19 propaganda and did not exist in the popular imagination prior to the year 2021".
mvuijlst··on YouTube banned my debunking video but leaves deadly how-to vids online, 34 dead
Is it clickbait when it's completely accurately describing what is going on?
mvuijlst··on Are Vaccine Mandates Racist?
No.
mvuijlst··on Ask HN: Modern Sci-Fi Book Recommendations?
I recently read and liked A Memory Called Empire and A Desolation Called Peace.
mvuijlst··on Man Emacs Is Slow
Recalculating a table with 1000 rows takes an eternity. :/
mvuijlst··on Ask HN: What is the oldest image online in which the link is not broken?
This is my 1995 website: http://www.netpoint.be
mvuijlst··on A comprehensive list of UX design methods and deliverables
A value proposition canvas is a canvas (could be a poster, could be a whiteboard, whatever) on which you put what value you propose to deliver.

A reductive process is a process where you take many ideas and boil them down to fewer ideas. The opposite would be something like a brainstorm, where you try to get more ideas.

And I don't really think you actually have no idea what "product definition" may mean. :)

mvuijlst··on Why are boys academically underperforming? [audio]
Isn't "[Race] is given extra help to own houses" the same as "[not-Race] is given no extra help to own houses"?
mvuijlst··on Wordpress market share keeps growing
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

This gives more context: https://wptavern.com/what-is-full-site-editing-and-what-does...

mvuijlst··on Has Microsoft ever really innovated?
"Microsoft Word was released late in 1983. It was preceded by Satellite Software International’s WordPerfect, released in 1980 as SSI-WP. The IBM PC version of WordPerfect was released in late 1982, one year prior to Microsoft’s release of the similar MS Word."

MS Word was nothing like WordPerfect.

The article went downhill from there.

mvuijlst··on Why Gen Z’s 'ok boomer' retort–and the responses to it–are so powerful
It's a bit facile. The argument is basically "if you're offended by it, then you're the kind of person it's meant for".

Let's just see how that would fly with "ok bitch". Or "ok [insert epithet of choice]", for that matter.

mvuijlst··on Where is Notepad in Windows 10? (2015)
This is what it looks like right now (notice the "Type here to search", can't get much more clear or explicit):

When I start typing N-O-T, this is what it does:

I have no complaints.

mvuijlst··on What happened to stackoverflow on this question
Early April 1st, I guess?
mvuijlst··on Ask HN: How to type euro symbol from keyword?
AltGr-e :)

Depends on your keyboard, of course.

mvuijlst··on You Make or Break Your Life Between 5–7 AM
Two hours at the start of the day or two hours at the end of the day, same difference.
mvuijlst··on Tinder user, 69, who identifies as a 49-year-old asks court to change his age
For some background: this guy is a pretty excentric motivational coach who's really into neurolinguistic programming. He's big in the Netherlands.
