Anyone think you'll actually be able to do anything on a Mac with only 8gb of RAM? I had a Macbook Pro before with 16gb of RAM and it was constantly running out of RAM and showing me the Force Quit Applications dialog. Constantly...

Yeah just adding to this -- being able to see the files being operated on is absolutely essential for figuring out if you need to ^C it and try again or if you need to let it keep going.

Absolute idiots, who the hell is going to do a face scan? Or share their ID with ... Discord?

Seems like a great way to play games with moving money around. Come up with a "valuation" and then "acquire".

zeptonix | 7 months ago | on: Meta says it won't sign Europe AI agreement

Everything in this thread even remotely anti-EU-regulation is being extreme downvoted

zeptonix | 7 months ago | on: Meta says it won't sign Europe AI agreement

They're career regulators

zeptonix | 7 months ago | on: Meta says it won't sign Europe AI agreement

Good. As Elon says, the only thing the EU does export is regulation. Same geniuses that make us click 5 cookie pop-ups every webpage

Ran a bunch of stop losses (momentum ignition) while conning everyone into thinking it was all about being a math genius, but what do I know

Morons .... need to hire some IT staff that know what they're doing.

LOL 3 month long videos ...

Kinda necessary isn't it? What would you replace it with?

Interesting that the article picks Notion as its example. For me too it seems like I am initially NEVER logged in no matter how often I login to Notion.

Satya is a BOSS!

zeptonix | 2 years ago | on: An overview of Slack's new design

Predictably, the new design sucks. It compresses and obscures multiple workspace icons all onto one icon, so I have to hover it to see what I could see previously without a hover.

And of course you can't "switch back to the old experience"

zeptonix | 2 years ago | on: Show HN: HackYourNews – AI summaries of the top HN stories

The summaries and comments need spacing/line breaks. I think right now the original HN site is still way better. Maybe have it produce bullet points or explicitly ask for line breaks in the relevant places. It's just not pleasant to read unbroken walls of text once they're more than about 1-2 sentences (yours appear to be at least 3+).

Had the same experience w/ the Apple Watch Ultra. I realized the main way I'm using the watch is as a stopwatch when I'm at the gym. For fun -- let's do a quick comparison:

Cheap Casio Watch:

- Never have to charge it

- Continuously shows me the minutes and seconds on the stopwatch

$700 Apple Watch Ultra:

- Needs to be re-charged daily

- Refuses to offer a minutes and seconds mode for more than 10-15 seconds at a time (it will keep counting, but will just show the minutes unless you continuously keep raising your wrist)

- Refuses to offer a settings option to adjust the above behavior (presumably because Apple's UI in general is basically "would you like 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or 60 minutes?" with very little thought given to the idea you might be able to actually comprehend how many minutes you want and that it might not be one of the Cupertino options)

Also since I'm already rambling -- just to ramble a bit more:

- Receiving "now's a good time to be mindful" or "time to take a break and stand up" alerts while I'm driving and (maybe because of the specific distance from my house) particularly when I'm about to merge onto the nearest freeway .... when the watch has a GPS and knows how fast I've been moving and where I am ... kinda leaves me speechless.

To balance:

It is still useful overall for seeing Maps directions displayed directly on the watch face -- and this would be the major use case for me. But it's enough of a PITA to keep it charged that I generally just use my phone instead anyway.

Cool! I'd use a different font than just sans-serif on the above the fold content/nav. I'd also kill the underlining. Maybe add some border-radiuses at the bottom form elements / submit button. But unique style and cool non-run-of-the-mill design!

Delete

To avoid confusion, the delete statement only works with primitive values like numbers, strings, and booleans.

delete 3!

print(2 + 1)! // Error: 3 has been deleted

HAHAHAHAHA

Just to offer an alternate opinion for anyone reading -- check out Next.js

Everyone's at a different step in their journey. But I do agree if you're building stuff then exactly, who cares? End of the day it's definitely about what's built, not how.
