I swear I'm not trying to criticize, but, uh--why only 10 or so photos? Why not just film it long term? Is it our position in earth's orbit that only lets us image that system once a year or so?

I love this! I'm writing short stories and I use Astro to build the site, I generate sharable qr codes and epubs for every story as well as the whole, and I use gh-pages to push to GitHub pages.

And I hear you about over-engineering. I feel like a Linux user--spending more time getting my laptop just right instead of using it. I have to remind myself that the point of it is the result, not the process.

Okay, the article I read on HN yesterday about the ram shortage crippling inexpensive devices feels relevant here. As far as I can tell, the article treats the low memory capacity as a foolish business decision rather than perhaps a required economic decision.

Like, I didn't see a single mention of why they chose 8GB while recommending 16GB. It's like a straw man argument: why not at least explore possible causes?

That is addictive!

In case you didn't already know or haven't considered it, you can find right-angle usb-c MagSafe adaptors that basically allow the charging cable to disconnect from the device like MagSafe.

Tell me more about this game!

Oh, wow--what if Big Ketchup is behind this? Huge, if true.

So, hold on--the author's soul-breaking complaint isn't all of the "quirks" and inconsistencies with the Date functions, but rather the fact that it's an object? Specifically, an object with mutable properties in a language when all objects have mutable properties?

I mean, the author's conclusion is correct. But I disagree with the rationale. It's like hating an evil dictatorship because they use the wrong font in their propaganda.

Here's my brilliant idea: the longer it takes for an answer to be marked correct, or the more answers there are before one is marked correct, the more points that answer deserves.

Surely you're being hyperbolic. I've seen some atrocious UX before. Maybe what you mean is it's a good idea but the scrolling part should be list-based instead of page-based.

It's not that the product you're building is a commodity. It's that the tools you're using to built it are. Why not build a landing page using HTML and CSS and tailwind? Why not use swift to make an app? Why not write an AWS lambda using JavaScript?

This reads like "Hey, we're not vibe coding, but when we do, we're careful!" with hints of "AI coding changes the costs associated with writing code, designing features, and refactoring" sprinkles in to stand out.

When they say their battery storage capacity is 15,000 MW, do they mean MWh? Because watts are time-independent, or rather, they're like speed to Joule's (watt-hour's) distance.

I still don't get the point of Gaussian Splats. How are they better than triangles?

It's very nice, but why? The lack of descenders makes it slightly harder to read. More of the letters look the same.

Is this similar to Peltier coolers?

I don't understand. I run a Plex instance on my home server as well. Are you referring to jellyfin not needing a centralized Plex account? Or do most Plex users rely on a plex-provided server?

I am a faithful Plex lifetime user and have never had problems.

That said, I shouldn't be blinded by convenience. I hear jellyfin is a good alternative. Can someone share

- how easy is it to administer for clients outside of my network or possibly even outside my country?

- how good is the app support? I transcode all of my media to AAC and h264 for compatibility

-what about for streaming music? I really like Plex amp

- what do you like the most about jellyfin

- what do you miss most about Plex?

Thank you.

What the author is missing is the metric that matters more than shipping product: how much happier am I when my AI auto complete saves me typing and figures out what I'm trying to articulate for me. If devs using copilot are happier--and I am, at least--then that's value right there.

They're serious because ...

> ... would provide Perplexity with a shortcut to user acquisition and enhance data collection for targeted advertising.

... advertising dollars? Wouldn't every company want that? I'm guessing Perplexity wants to make an AI browser, but wanting advertisement money hardly makes a company's offer stand out.

This was a pleasant read. I want a goal like this to try and achieve. Neat!

I am not getting rid of windows 10 for several years at least. Too many of my workflows require windows apps, and windows 11 is incoherent, full of ads, and way too controlling.

I'm on my phone, trying this. It's a question about how many people are in the air right now.

- when I tap on a factor, I can edit the slider, but it doesn't do anything.

- when I tap another factor, the previous editor stays in place.

- how do I choose my factor?

- where do I actually do the multiplication?

- where do I check my answer?

- why do the factors have "grab icons" (the six dots)? Why would I drag one?

Etc.

It's nice but it takes a million clicks to get to another day's puzzle. Tap to close the results page, Tap the toast to show the close button, tap the close button, tap the calendar, tap the day. Maybe some big left and right arrows at the top of the page?

I don't understand why so many modern motherboards continue to include ps/2 connections on their rear i/o panels.

I'd like to play this on my phone but everytime I try to zoom or pan it thinks I'm making a guess in the middle of the ocean. Also it often gives me a success when the country is definitely not within the chosen circle. Sometimes it starts a new view with the circle already in the right place.

I read this in electroboom's voice. Much more entertaining that way.

This is a wonderful little puzzle. Do you have any others?

You would just start typing, and it would try and select each letter in turn, or show a little blip if you didn't have that character available

When the vertical bar is very short, like two or three letters only, it is hard to find space to tap and drag the bar up or down. A more generous vertical tap-and-drag region, or handles, or up/down arrows, would be nice on a phone.
