redwyvern··on Show HN: Haystack – Review code as a visual story on an infinite canvas
Nice, played around with it for some time and got a project workspace set up quite fast. Excited to see how far it takes me!

Sweet editor, I can already think of a few good use cases to use on a couple projects
redwyvern··on Show HN: Haystack – an IDE for exploring and editing code on an infinite canvas
This is really neat, quite a paradigm shift from the IDEs we’ve been using for decades
redwyvern··on Understanding the Objective-C Runtime (2010)
Great read, but can this person please just use a grammar checker? Their inconsistent, but repetitive incorrect use of apostrophes ruins the whole post.
redwyvern··on Andreessen Horowitz is opening an office in SF
Their current office is in a pretty nice place, but it sure did feel like it was far from the action.
redwyvern··on Snapchat weighs what was once unthinkable: permanent snaps
How about returning localized stories specific to cities and college campuses? That feature was so important to so many people, and it was just suddenly killed last year.
redwyvern··on Apple Used to Be an Inventor. Now It’s Mainly a Landlord
I've learned that some of Bloomberg's journalism is bullshit, and this article helps me stand by my opinion.

FaceID? ECG monitor? AirPods and the general continuity between Apple products? Seems like Bloomberg is just an attention whore. I can see an argument for the Apple customer market becoming saturated, but Apple has not lost its inventiveness.

The idea of becoming a landlord who is unable to bring in new people with exciting technology is only true if you consider

redwyvern··on Assumptions about how children learn to read have been disproven by research
"But if readers can’t supply the missing information, they have a hard time making sense of the text."

This is what angers me the most about the ACT exam. I recall that passages with vague and uninteresting topics were difficult to comprehend. What was even more infuriating was a passage on a capacitor physics experiment in one exam. I initially enjoyed the passage because I had a thorough understanding of capacitance and voltage across two plates, but it turned out that for the sake of the "comprehension," the equation for capacitance was INTENTIONALLY rearranged in a way that violated the laws of physics. In other words, the meaning and relevance of the content of a passage in a comprehension exam like the ACT was intended to be misleading for the sake of testing attention to one tiny detail.

redwyvern··on YouTube says it will crack down on bizarre videos targeting children
It was kind of disturbing to see my young infant cousin watching stuff like this without his parents noticing how bizarre these videos are. A kid's youtube browsing can start with a normal kid-friendly video, and then end up with this garbage.
