  1. Just so you know, HN in general does not appreciate Reddit rudeness. Your comment would have been fine if not for that last sentence.
  2. If that is the case, then either the phone should come with a case or it should not be marketed as a complete product.

    How about making the phone more durable by adding 1 mm to its thickness, so that a 50 gram, 4 mm thick case won't need to be added.

  3. Please share! I'd much rather help develop your solution than vibe code one of my own ))

    Honestly, I'd love to try that. My Gmail username is the same as my HN username.

  4. Reread your post with your evil PM hat on. You just said "I'm willing to pay for housing". That's all they hear.

    Seriously, once you've crossed the threshold to pay for something, they think that they can somehow manipulate you (advertising) or convince you (features) to pay them for it too. And honestly, if they do it with features, I'm willing to be convinced.

  6. The first versions of Anki used the SuperMemo algorithm if I'm not mistaken.

    I've actually since graduated to a 10.3" Boox E-ink tablet. It's too big for AnkiDroid or book reading, but it is terrific for note taking during meetings or lectures, reading and annotating technical documentation, calendar management, and web browsing. My next gift to self will either be a Tesla Roadster or a 7" E-ink device for AnkiDroid and books!

  7. Choose the implementation that you like, or contribute to help make one better. Just like all other software on your computer.

    Don't like Libreoffice's implementation of Word support? Install Koffice. I take it you've never installed non-OEM software on your computer?

  8.   > Translation?
    
    Sounds like a great OS feature. I might want to use this in my PDF viewer and Office viewer as well.

      > Image search?
    
    Sounds like a web site, not a browser feature.

      > Live captions?
    
    Sounds like a great OS feature. I might want to use this in VLC as well.

      > Dubbing?
    
    Sounds like a great OS feature. I might want to use this in VLC as well.

      > Summary?
    
    Sounds like a great OS feature. I might want to use this in my PDF viewer and Office viewer as well.

  9. I've never touched the OS, but I've had four generations of Barnes & Noble Nook e-ink devices. I add a launcher via ADB and then can install any Android software. I usually only use them for AnkiDroid.
  10. Could you expand on this? I use postgres often and though I could have an LLM explain what you mean, I think I'd learn more to hear it from you. Thank you.
  11. If one needs timestamp ordering, then UUIDv7 is a good alternative.

    But the author does not say timestamp ordering, he says ordering. I think he actually means and believes that there is some problem ordering UUIDv4.

  12. I'm not sure about that. The wealthiest people I know are also the most careful about where they spend their money.
  13.   > I think some Chinese companies do take the idea and then they iterate on the product to the point that it outshines the original product
    
    And be there no mistake, this has been Apple's formula for success for decades.
  14. From the fine article:

      > Random values don’t have natural sorting like integers or lexicographic (dictionary) sorting like character strings. UUID v4s do have "byte ordering," but this has no useful meaning for how they’re accessed.
    
    Might the author mean that random values are not sequential, so ordering them is inefficient? Of course random values can be ordered - and ordering by what he calls "byte ordering" is exactly how all integer ordering is done. And naive string ordering too, like we would do in the days before Unicode.
  15. Web scrapers are typically custom written to fit the site they are scraping. Very few motor vehicles are commissioned for a specific purchaser - fewer still to the design of that purchaser.
  16. With no enforcement mechanism?
  17. The Wood Database? Thank you for once again reminding me how incredible the Information Highway once was, and could be.

    I lament our detour onto the Commercial Highway.

  18. A large portion of those addresses will be valid residential IP addresses running malware on compromised Windows machines.
  19. It is. A typically ignored thing.
  20. Not sure I follow. Why wouldn't a browser download it?
