  1. I'm really curious what it is, but I don't want to spoil myself, so I'll just come back to this after I see the episode!
  2. How long before that's no longer the case?
  3. Why do you still think it's ok to override default scrolling behavior just to create a buggy mess so that is scrolls "smooth"?

    /s

    There is a bug, if you scroll down and then press the home icon, it takes you to the top, but if you start scrolling again it goes back to the original position. Please do not override default scrolling

    Page looks nice tho

  4. That was a long time ago. In 2014 they took a bite of the poisoned apple and received 40 mil. I can imagine that's where the rat race began, till they sold to this MediaLab company in 2021.

    I can imagine anything of value, both culturally and technologically, is just being squeeze for any possible penny.

  5. I am pretty AI-skeptic. But I just tried to create a little tool with Junie, and I'm quite in shock. It was SO good I barely had to do anything.

    Personally, I still think that they shouldn't be relied upon too heavily, but if you already know what you are doing, some of these tools can definitely give you a big boost.

  6. People are more important than businesses
  7. "We have identified that you are at an increased risk of cancer. To ensure we give you the best care your insurance premium has now gone up 20x, you are welcome."
  8. I am not sure about a "professional" experience. But my personal one is that I had my parents install it on their machine years ago, and since it's running stable and without great changes or weird banner or any other silly stuff that would break the flow.

    I can log in remotely and help them. It is also easy to install and run, which is also bonus points.

    For me, this smooth experience has been a godsent. When I used TeamViewer I feel like every time I would use it, sometimes months apart, it would break or something would change.

  9. Very cool! I'm actually curious to learn more about how the bin conversion works. The pack files are pretty interesting!
  10. For those unaware, this comment is referring to premium bonds in the UK[1]. It is a very interesting system, I agree! But there are quite a few parts of the system that make it way more fair than a lottery.

    Most obviously, it doesn't cost to enter. So the most you can "lose" is a missed interest income from putting the money in another source.

    After that, it's definitely the fact that the algorithm is designed to both pay a certain percentage of people and always have specific return. [1]

    You are also limited to how much you can enter to 50k.

    With all that in mind, at the end of the day it feels like many small wins over time, with the super random chance of occasionally having a big-ish payout.

    It's definitely designed to feel like a lottery, but in reality is way more akin to normal savings than a lottery.

  11. Why is it? Doesn't sound particularly unfortunate to me
  12. Fantastic! Only comment I could possibly have is that the cats page needs more pics of cats.
  13. HN has actually a page entirely dedicated to posts that went overlooked and are therefore invited to resubmit

  14. For those like me that were wondering what the resource monitor shown in the photo is, it's btop.

  15. oh no, the whole reason why I like Affinity products is the pricing model. I can't imagine that will last long.
  16. install the plugin and enjoy? what specifically is keeping you?

    if you just type in the search bar it will automatically use Kagi so there isn't really any friction.

  17. Did anyone actually ever put web apps on their home screen?
  18. Downloading now! I'm already excited! There's a couple of similar apps but they are 99% mac-only. Thanks for making a cross-platform one!
