It’s one of those types you have to be the person that likes that style. It’s my friends favorite rotator but I think it’s a decent try-it-once beer, that is only around for a little while at a time.

The brewery itself though is one of my favorites to this day with, in my opinion, the best food I've ever encountered at something that identifies itself first as a "brewery." I don't visit the area without making a stop there.

Not sure if you’re cutting my quote in bad faith to fit your rebuttal, or just didn’t read it fully. How is this not confusing?

Apple TV is available on the Apple TV app … on … Apple TV …

Watch Apple TV in Apple TV on Apple TV.

Why choose Netflix as your example as well when both Google and Amazon already have streaming services that don’t have an identically named hardware device. Do you honestly think if Netflix put out a device they would name it Netflix.

The article itself even shows just how confusing it is:

Apple TV is available on the Apple TV app in over 100 countries and regions, on over 1 billion screens, including iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Vision Pro ...

How did anyone think "this is fine" in a proofread here when coming up with this rebranding?

like a "keep my recurring alarm on, but skip it tomorrow" button (useful for when you don't want to wake up early on labor day)

If you use the Sleep feature, instead of a plain alarm for an “alarm clock,” it has had this feature for quite a few years now. Any modification made to Sleep, which is manageable from within the same Alarm app, prompts to ask if you’d like to change your entire sleep schedule or just apply the modification (shut off, or reschedule) to the next one up.

While possibly being strange defaults, both of those are options. Remove the file summary and directory structure, both featured on the UI, and on the CLI tool, and voila, it's in your "better" state. There are also additional compression options beyond those two tweaks.

I can't tell if this is satire or a hidden advertisement for various tui browsers? A project that is a "popular tui browser" (for the literally dozens of people that use tui browsers?) does not have ownership claim to the name of a big cat genus which has 4k+ other results on GitHub with the same name.

Did the title change since you asked, or what is claiming that they aren't? I don't see anything on the title, the README, or the website making the claim you want defended. It just says "a" truly independent web browser, that doesn't seemingly claim exclusivity to that status.

The caption on the graph explains.

including with the open-source Agentless scaffold (39%) and an internal tools scaffold (61%), see our system card .

I have no idea what an "internal tools scaffold" is but the graph on the card that they link directly to specifies "o3-mini (tools)" where the blog post is talking about others.

Isn’t that equivalent to saying “just use NGINX”? Caddy isn’t a library you use in your Go server code, it’s a separate reverse proxy, isn’t it? They solve separate things.

One is certainly underestimating. I only mean some insignificant number of vehicles. Far from the “proven” statement about people vying for EV rentals in the OP comment. I realize now that I shouldn’t have put an explicit number on an internet comment, as now that number is the target to come after me for.

This comment feels so disconnected from reality that I can only imagine you possibly live in a bubble of EV owners. To offer my anecdotal observation, where I live, I rarely ever see an EV. Maybe a single one on the road per day, if that. Various dealerships have told me everyone getting one around the area recently has been returning them.

While on a time limited event, like a vacation, where I may need a rental car, I have no desire to sit and wait for my car to charge and waste my time, over a 45 second gas fill up. Hotels don’t universally offer charging ports (or enough of them, if it even does). EVs have a very long way to go to being generally useful for the non homeowner who doesn’t have a charging station in their own garage.

Not sure how I’m making fun of anything, training wheels inherent purpose is to train you to ride a bike without them. A lighter isn’t meant to teach you how to spontaneously light fires once it’s out of fuel, nor is dropping off clothes at a clothing store going to teach you how to sew.

Not to detract from the project itself, but neither this HN post or the GitHub repo ever define any of the initialisms in use. Being slightly unfamiliar with what KYC/KYB even stand for, I had to guess and search all around the docs for clues that my guess was correct. Might be worthwhile to add a single expansion somewhere.

Shazam turns 20 4 years ago

I haven’t tried humming with Shazam recently, but I don’t think it worked well back when I did have the actual app. It works very well for music though. I used it around five times, just this Wednesday night at a concert, and it got every track for me.

Soundhound is what had humming “support” explicitly in its product description, and it worked pretty well from what I remember. It’s been long enough though that I may only be remembering the times it worked.

Shazam turns 20 4 years ago

Wow blew my mind was when Google introduced 'hum and we'll recognize the song for you' in Google assistant

Their announcement actually made me roll my eyes a bit, as Soundhound had that functionality nearly a decade before. I had both SH and Shazam installed on my old phone for these usecases - now Shazam is baked into Siri so I don’t even have the app itself installed.

The absolute worst annoyance, IMO, is that if you are listening to audio with an iPhone, AirPods (Pro), and an Apple Watch, and set a timer on your watch (say, a 1.5 minute rest timer at the gym) it will disconnect from your phone to play the alert from your watch and then fail to play music from your phone again without sometimes requiring full Bluetooth cycling, or another 1.5 minutes of fiddling - removing any and all convenience of the device ecosystem. There are support issues open on the Apple forums going back years, but it’s still unresolved. To contrast, my Bose SoundSports can seamlessly achieve the above example just fine, so it’s not a fundamental flaw in the use case, just Apple’s implementation of some part of it.

It appears they could be supported at the moment. In the sidebar there is a GitHub1s Settings menu (the bottom) and in that you can supply your own OAuth/App token to increase your request rate limit, but by delegating access to that token to your private repos you should be able to read your own or chosen/owned private repositories (the caveat being you're giving this app that token outside of a normal OAuth login flow, so I'm not sure how comfortable someone would be with doing that - it seems a normal GitHub OAuth sign in flow could be investigated).

Because what Google wants to buy is their marketshare and existing userbase.

Personally, I'm curious how that worked out for them. The announcement of this purchase, and how they handled Nest, is what made me stop using my Fitbit.
