Did you mean to post in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31808093 ?

Not once we invent time travel in a few decades.

The post mentions doing this through the UI (no need for the terminal command).

I'm not sure this would work, in general. A page will often render slightly differently based on the size of the window, so whatever size is "reported" to the webpage would end up being how big the page is rendered.

Yep, this is cool, and it's mentioned in the thread!

> I can't remember the name of the guy everyone blames for this, but he talks about minimalism and reducing app UI in favor of putting content forward during OS feature reveals

I believe you might be referring to Jony Ive (who is named in the portion you quoted). He left Apple a few years ago, which is what the comment you quote is talking about.

I also wrote a script to get a vaccine appointment! I wonder how many other people did that.

I agree with this. I'd love to live in a world where our basic living needs (housing, food, clothing, healthcare, etc.) are met, and so every person feels safe and comfortable exploring play and creativity to the extent they desire.

Is this aspirational and unrealistic? Absolutely! I'm not claiming this is something we can do today, but I think it's good to think about where we might like to go.

I considered mentioning this in the post but I wanted to keep it short and sweet.

Yeah, Wordle itself is not that complicated, and as you said, other than serving the HTML and JS it requires no server-side processing. I'm definitely going to download the HTML and JS and rehost it, at least just for myself privately.

To me, that's further reason why the Wordle purchase is sad. NYT is essentially buying some HTML, CSS, JS… and a playerbase. Rather than competing by improving their existing puzzles and/or creating new ones, they're just buying out the competition.

Even though technically-minded people like you and me will be able to re-host Wordle quite easily, the general public who lack those skills will still eventually lose access to the original independent Wordle.

I experienced this as a pedestrian in downtown Chicago (on iOS in my case). It made me curious about what was going on — were the buildings reflecting the signal or obscuring it somehow? It's a fascinating phenomenon.

The HN submission was originally a link to an article with a headline something like "Jack Dorsey expected to step down as Twitter CEO."

Needs (2005) in the title.

They're killing Dark Sky? It still works on my devices.

I find the suggestions at the end of this article pretty funny, especially the following two:

> - Try to avoid scanning QR codes as much as you can. if the link looks suspicious don't scan it.

> - Be suspicious of generic black and white QR codes.

But to be fair, they also suggest "Install a QR scanner app with a preview function. So that you can inspect any link before opening it," which is a good idea.

I wrote a custom tool that automatically pulls in videos from channels I've "subscribed" to via RSS.

I suppose if I used RSS for anything else I could have just plugged those feeds into my RSS reader, but YouTube is the only thing I use it for.

Not really, no. It tastes a lot different because of the fermentation process, during which the sugars are turned into alcohol.

I had both the original Pebble and the Pebble Time. The battery life, always-on screen, and readability in the sun made for an incredibly useful experience. After my Pebble Time broke, rather than switching to another smart watch I got a simple "dumb" watch.

Frankly I don't think I'll wear another smart watch that isn't a Pebble, which means I don't think I'll get another smart watch.

I read textbooks on my standard entry-level model iPad (eighth generation). It's a pretty good experience. PDFs fit on the screen decently well and I can annotate with the pencil.

ePubs are nice too, since they can reflow.

Yes, this is true, but it's not how the circle of fifths works (which is what the comment I was responding to seemed to be alluding to).

I'm not sure what you're saying. B to F is not a fifth. A fifth up from B is F#.

There are specific tests that try to detect past infection, but the general standard tests will only detect current infection.

Or even "ships for" rather than "ships on"

The first link very much reads like a satire piece a la The Onion. Are you sure that's real?

Putting "random words in quotes that people didn't actually say" is not conducive to productive and healthy discussion.

It doesn't seem like the guidelines or FAQs mention this (so maybe the rule changed), but shouldn't this have (2020) in the title?

The more victory cards ("green") you buy, generally the less effective your deck becomes (because most victory cards don't do anything other than count for points). This means that buying VPs makes it (generally) harder to buy more VPs. The smaller your deck, the more pronounced this effect.

All of this taken together means that you end up having to target some point along the continuum between "get points quickly but fizzle out early" and "long slow burn to getting a lot of points." If you go for the "quick" strategy but the game doesn't end quickly, your opponent can take the extra time to pass you in VP, and vice versa if you choose the "slow" strategy but the game is short. And it's not just two options — like I said, there's a whole spectrum of choice.

Just in case you're not aware, the online version that replaced Isotropic shut down a few years ago (2017, I think?) and has been replaced by a client that people seem to like (I certainly do), found at https://dominion.games.

Yes, I believe these were all removed from early editions of the first sets released, largely for being weak or boring.

It was a little surprising to see this here after I just came from playing Dominion :) I think it articulates well a lot of what I like about the game. I'm not very good at the game, compared to other players out there, but I still think there's accessible strategy and variety.

I'm curious what motivated posting this particular article now…

And by the way, this should have a (2012) tag in the title @dang.

Same thing about the iPhone 12 Pro Max on its page. I guess that's part of the reason why those two devices go on sale later than their respective counterparts.
