Not sure if the mechanical keyboards community would agree...

Why is this relevant to HN? (especially since it's nothing new?)

I can't stop thinking about all the unoptimized code we have around. As processors (and memory) over the last 2-3 decades improved faster than we needed to fix the inefficiencies we created, we silently accepted that we don't need efficiency everywhere. So maybe a compiler, an emulator or some critical piece of code were created with this in mind, but the average app or website just waste resources left and right and pray for the best.

With more and more code being written with AI (which has notoriously inefficient solutions to simple problems), I expect this issue to become more prevalent. I just hope we optimize at the source of the problem (AI and humans using it) and not on platforms (compiler and engine/kernel heuristics)

they'll run out of countries to invade (or to sell oil to) at some point, so green alternatives will -eventually- prevail...

The window (miss)management of MacOS is what's holding me from switching to Mac. I've already tried Aerospace and similar solutions, but I can't replicate the fast and unobstructed experience I have with i3wm.

Sadly wm in MacOS is like notifications on iOS: with enough time you get used to the unproductive mess they are, but you'll be missing out on better solutions. And since probably all MacOS devs are using Mac, they won't see/understand other (better) approaches.

I frequently encounter sites that do not work well or they do not work at all

What kind of sites do you visit frequently? Because as a Firefox user, I rarely see issues like this and it's usually related to either chrome-specific things they didn't bother to implement in a compatible way or very cutting-edge features that are not fully available in browsers yet.

I know Firefox had issues in the past (I suffered them myself) but I don't remember having issues with it over the last bunch of years, and it's my main (only) browser.

Came here to comment this. I've already saw another article by this author and it all leads towards the course. Not cool :/

That's because of tokens (and temperature). You could piece back the tokens to parts of existing tokens in public data. And given enough iterations, GPT will probably start showing noticeable patterns (since it's not actually random).

Considering I have most of my friends living abroad and how little I get to see other people (especially the ones that would use this app), I won't even bother downloading it. I don't need an app to feel lonely...

Honestly, it feels like McDonald's commiting to food quality. At the end of the day it's still a bland burger.

Given that a lot of things happen in the browser, I think it wouldn't be too crazy. There are even distros that look like Windows if you're after that. What part of it do you think isn't ready for this scenario? (honestly curious)

They've been crippling the free tier for a long time. And a few years ago they were about to restrict it completely (they've backed out last moment), to a point where many of us migrated to other platforms and never looked back.

As long as an app is easy to use, people prefer a single look

No, people are used to an UI language, which in the case of iOS is quite consistent across applications. You expect certain things to work (e.g. flicking in from the left edge means "go back"). There are platform-specific patterns and I'd rather have the app behave accordingly rather than being consistent with other OS' version. The real 0.1% here are probably the users of your app with active devices in both Android and iOS!

Institute a government agency that is tasked with enforcement.

You're forgetting about the first W in WWW...

I hope GitHub keeps autonomy somehow and stays away from the dumpster fire that is Azure.

so... VoIP?

It got 80% of the problem solved for OP, and the remaining 20% can be fixed by humans afterwards. Prompt early, prompt often (?)

Well, in that case could we call them Statians or Unitians?

And before this: self-playing pianos using perforated rolls, reducing the cost of hiring live pianists in saloons.

Joining these courses may be enriching for everyone though. You may learn something new or a different approach to a problem you've solved. Other students will appreciate your actual experience with the subject. And the professor may learn a thing or two (and appreciate your contributions) if you can add to the subject. That said, I'm not good managing my time and I don't have the guts to code an OS from scratch, so what do I know?

The site seems to use gradio (which from what I've experienced in the past is quite slow).

All those domains can be avoided just using an ad blocker, I suggest ublock origin.

Well, it's a starting point for songwriters. We won't get amazing solos and clever mind-bending lyrics (yet?). One thing I love about these AI music generators is that you can take the exact same lyrics and hear them in a lot of different styles and melodies. That's something that I'd struggle with. Can you easily imagine the happy birthday song with different melodies and rythms? These tools won't create the next bop, but they can seed back ideas to musicians, while people without music skills can have fun creating songs about the things they like.

Looks very nice! A few things I'd like to see to make it more useful:

- Let me pick a database when I start so the data types are restricted to that particular database. This can help down the line with other quirks and particularities of each db.

- I'd love to be able to use this and convert it to a model for my ORM (I'm currently using Prisma, but depending on your vision this could expand to other languages and ORMs such as, for example, Django). This would be helpful because I'd be able to jump from design to implementation without rewriting everything as models in my ORM.

- The nodes to establish relationships are difficult to click, and several times I ended up dragging the table instead. Consider making them easier to grab.

- If I delete a property from the table (in the grid) there's no quick way to undo. A toast message with an undo link would be helpful.

- The "delete diagram" option didn't ask me for confirmation and even if I saved my diagram before, it's gone. And this option is dangerously close to "Rename"!

For Linux users looking for something similar to IrfanView, nomacs is the closest I found to IrfanView since I moved away from Windows:

Using VS Code: select whatever you want to match, then Ctrl+Shift+L

The diff itself is impressive, but in terms of styling I still prefer diff-so-fancy[1]. It's easier to read at a glance.

Since the data shown on your Timeline will come directly from your device, it won’t be available on Maps on your computer after your data is moved to your phone.

I got fired with severance, and took the opportunity to do this. It feels so rewarding to work on your own project, waking up and just deciding what you want to do next with it. There were also periods where anxiety got to me, because it's not giving me enough money to live from it (it barely supports its own costs). But all in all I'm enjoying it and learning a lot in the process. If anything, it makes me want to keep trying to find financial independence and new ideas.

Not to mention using `--<CMD>`

If you read further down in the documentation, you can just prefix your command with `jc` (e.g. `jc ls`). The `--cmd` param is actually a good idea, since it allows you to mangle the data before converting it (e.g. you want to grep a list before converting it).

Regarding maintenance, most of the basic unix commands' output shouldn't change too much (they'd be breaking not only this tool but a lot of scripts). I wouldn't expect it to break as often as you imagine, at least not because of other binaries being updated.

I've seen `eval()` in production code of several applications. The biggest vulnerability is more often than not the programmer :)
