IIRC Apple doesn’t require in-app purchases for “physical” goods. Obviously a JPG of a barcode that lets me on a plane or into a movie theater itself isn’t a physical good, but I guess it’s in service of one.

There are a couple of exceptions though for digital goods (I think Amazon has an exception for their Video service, but not Kindle. People rumor this was part of a deal to get Apple TV onto Amazon Fire products.)

Barkeeper's Friend is definitely not for hands though!

How is that different from any follow-based network?

I typically use https://rateyourmusic.com to find new stuff. Not their recommendation system, that’s trash.

Instead, I find albums I already know I like and look for well-written reviews on the album page. Then I click into the reviewer’s profile, see if I like/recognize any of the other stuff they’ve reviewed, and if so, I follow them. Boom, it’s like you’ve found a friend who actually enjoys the same music you do.

What was your intent behind adopting the "Tweetdeck" style of UI for this presentation? Tweetdeck's intent is supposedly that you'd need to be monitoring multiple feeds efficiently (e.g. you are a social media manager with multiple accounts, or you need live-updating search queries to react to).

For Reddit though, most of the time subreddits aren't really meant to be consumed "live", or many-posts-at-once, which means that for me, this ultimately just ends up shrinking my Reddit browsing experience into a thin column surrounded by content I don't care about at the current moment, which goes against the "efficiency" that I imagine this design is intended for.

For folks who like this style of UI, what do you get out of it?

How would you recommend testing components that use the `useSelector/useDispatch` hooks internally?

Fellow Seattlite here. Seeing folks in this thread talking about grocery stores being 40+ minute walks away from grocery stores is making me sweat. I like the idea of moving somewhere cheaper, but I refuse the idea of being forced to drive everywhere.

Isn’t this more of an issue of school being out? Would your kids going back to school solve this issue?

This kind of comment is now against the guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html (third from bottom).

Similarly, a cracked version of Photoshop probably installs less junk than a legal version of Photoshop.

As said elsewhere in this thread, Google already has a direct analog with Google Play Instant Apps.

Although I also wish Apple would put more than the bare minimum of support behind PWAs, from their perspective App Clips still have to go through the App Store vetting process, and therefore are (ostensibly) a safer choice than just granting more OS-level capabilities to PWAs.

It's certainly dramatized, but Fume wo Amu is a wonderful anime about a Japanese dictionary publishing department.

One potential reason to prefer Amazon over Microsoft and Boeing here is that Amazon is majority in Seattle proper, while the vast majority of Microsoft and Boeing are outside of the city (e.g. Redmond, Bellevue).

Keh (https://www.keh.com/) is sort of like this, except that they function more like a second-hand shop--you sell them your gear, and they hold inventory that other people can buy, meaning you never actually interact with the eventual buyer. Because of this though, I imagine they take a larger cut than Reverb does (and certainly more than eBay).

As a buyer I've had zero problems with Keh the couple of times I've used them.

It’s still Tetris I guess, but have you tried Tetris Effect?

Oof, the main memory I associate with this class was not realizing there was a midterm and therefore not showing up for the midterm.

Still passed though, and with an A somehow. Thank you, guardian angel TA!

What do you find negative about HN?

Personally it’s the comments that usually make me feel like I’m wasting time. There are iOS apps I’ve used in the past that feel very amateurish, but one of the benefits of that is that they never bother to implement comment browsing, ha.

Can’t speak for Go, but TS does provide the `Pick<T, K>` construct, essentially meaning “from a type T, I only require a subset of properties K”. This avoids needing to duplicate partials of the core interface.

It does now strongly couple you to the core interface—you can’t put this function in a separate module that’s unaware of the core interface anymore—and now if the core interface changes, the function implementation itself will break instead of the call sites (which could be a good or a bad thing).

Seems like a pretty big change to me. Not only has the folder name changed with no indicator that it has changed, but now since it's "W" instead of "A", it's near the bottom instead of at the very top. Plus, Windows 10 now has /way/ more pre-installed applications, which means you have to do a lot of scrolling before you get all the way to the "W" section.

Why do you say so?

Also strongly recommend cross-referencing the guide on Well-Appointed Desk: https://www.wellappointeddesk.com/2014/06/epic-refill-guide-...

The OP article has a good focus on the more technical details, while the guide I linked above gives large lists of specific pens/refills compatible which each refill.

Because the vast majority of people have personal biases that they cannot completely just put away at the workplace.

Type it as `Record<string, R>` where `R` is your return type and you’d be fine in most cases. You could even make `R` a union type if necessary.

If a developer open sourced their application but still charged for the binary on the App Store, would you pay for it?

I think OP means more personal enthusiasm, as in being driven to make videos at all. No benefit in being able to fake a smile if you never end up recording yourself in the first place.

...at the same time though, a ton of money and attention might be enough to get over making personally uninteresting content. I guess that's pretty much how careers are for most people.

There’s a beta iOS app called Toot that solves this by letting you add timelines for instances you don’t have an account on. If you try interacting with anyone on that timeline, it asks you if you want to use one of your other accounts to handle that interaction. Don’t know if any other clients offer this.

I visited NYC two months ago for the first time—as someone who doesn’t drive it was incredible how pedestrian-driven the streets were. Cars would stop for me even when it was clearly their light.

Similar boat of making Minecraft videos in the past (2011-2014). It was mostly just my friend and I playing through various Minecraft adventure/puzzle maps. We got a couple dozen to a hundred followers through luck/timing (playing new maps that later become popular) but didn't get too far.

Then one day my friend on a whim did a skit that ended up doing very well (it got featured on wired.com and even posted on HN [1]). We got a lot of attention from this skit (and one or two others), but this really wasn't content we wanted to dedicate ourselves towards.

It was extremely disheartening seeing the wide disparity between videos we wanted to make and videos that got views--we loved to think that people enjoyed watch us, but it was really clear that most people just wanted to see more of those two/three videos.

I don't think I regret the time spent though. Doing LPs definitely strengthened my ability to explain what I'm doing as I'm doing it, a skill I use all the time as a software dev (and one I definitely see others lacking). It also gave me a ton of experience with video editing, which while not as useful professionally is a lot of fun and I think a useful skill to have in your pocket.

As a keyboard enthusiast, when I’m not huffing solder or lubricating plastics or waiting for my IMSTO caps, I spend the rest of my time on typing test websites like 10fastfingers or TypeRacer. The Pain27 is optimized for that experience.

Are my receipts shared with advertisers? The app actually looks pretty useful, but I'm a little worried about that.
