InMice··on San Francisco Graffiti
Cool, but why lay out the images in such an annoying way? Whatever happened to simple, functional photo galleries? I miss them.

I cant quite figure it out exactly either. Seemingly random, then sometimes there's partial order. I honestly have to close my eyes and take deep breaths in thru the nose out the mouth while sitting at my desk while trying to get stuff done LOL. Im just so sick of decades of these stupid bugs.

Clicking on folders that you have put in Finders sidebar - It will not display the folder with the view settings set for that folder, but instead the last folder you clicked in the sidebar. It seems to happen clicking from top to bottom vs bottom to top. You just cant make this sh*t up it's so bad.

Example sidebar:

Applications - Always shows as icons

Documents - Shows as icons if you last clicked on Applications. Shows as details if last you clicked on Downloads

Downloads - Always shows as details

Finder is the absolute worst we could write a book about it. Once a year or so all my sidebar folders randomly vanish and I have to re-add them.

Also The most annoying "it's a feature, not a bug" - That instant drop down of the title bar in full screen if the mouse cursor hits the top edge of the screen. So obnoxious with remote desktop sessions. No delay, no way to disable it, no way to change anything about it.

That you cant jump to the beginning or end of search results in gmail. You can only click page by page and only know the end is near when you know when the results get close to your account creation date. The only work around is to guess ahead with editing the results page number in the URL string. It's been this stupid annoying way since day 1 of gmail.

Also now seeing the stupidest copying of liquid glass in google's web interfaces. Like adding transperancy to some of their pop up info boxes just so ugly and pointless.

InMice··on I was banned from Claude for scaffolding a Claude.md file?
i accidently logged in from my browser that is set to use a socks proxy instead of chrome which i dont set to a proxy and was otherwise using claude code with. they quickly banned me and refunded my subscription. i dont know if its worth it to try to appeal. does a human even read those appeals? figured i could just use cursor and gemini models with api pricing. but im sad to not be able to try claude code i had just signed up.

Thanks Im going to try it
InMice··on Ask HN: ADHD – How do you manage the constant stream of thoughts and ideas?
Yes. Never tried the others. stratera - weird side effects quit immediately. ritalin is good. concerta also good... too good. Havent tried it in years Id only guess if anything Im slower if older.
InMice··on Dell UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor
I get bonkers annoyed using just two monitors with macos or windows. multi monitor management... nothing behaves how i want it to, apps never open where they should etc etc. I havent tried it on desktop linux enough to know if it's any better - maybe at least id assume have the most configuration control on linux.

How do you do it? I always give up in frustration. 100% would keep the genelecs :)

InMice··on To those who fired or didn't hire tech writers because of AI
I dont have any expectations. Thats why I was asking
InMice··on Ask HN: ADHD – How do you manage the constant stream of thoughts and ideas?
If I take the lowest dose concerta I will not sleep that night no matter how early i take it. This was pretty devestating when I was younger and not mature enough to realize what was going on. Parents were obsessed with ADD medication at the time. I think vyvanse or xr adderall would be a similar nightmare for me.
InMice··on Ask HN: ADHD – How do you manage the constant stream of thoughts and ideas?
Because there is ritalin and concerta, I think it's just easier to understand and explain. Im less familiar with adderall but by searching a few times IR XR and Vyvanse are still prescribed? and adderall ir is also approved for narcolepsy at least.
InMice··on To those who fired or didn't hire tech writers because of AI
Is it expected that LLMs will continue to improve over time? All the recent articles like this one just seem to describe this technology's faults as fixed and permanent. Basically saying "turn around and go no further". Honestly asking because their arguments seem to be dependent on improvement never happening and never overcoming any faults. It feels shortsighted.
InMice··on Ask HN: ADHD – How do you manage the constant stream of thoughts and ideas?
Vyvanse is like long acting adderall that cannot be crushed and snorted. Must be metabolized in your digestion to become active.
InMice··on Google removes AI health summaries
Lol thats funny. strange times
InMice··on Google removes AI health summaries
Not surprised. Another example is minecraft related queries. Im searching with the intention of eventually going to a certain wiki page at minecraft.wiki, but started to just read the summaries instead. It will combine fan forums discussing desired features/ideas with the actual game bible at minecraft.wiki - so it mixes one source of truth with one source of fantasy. Results in ridiculous inaccurate summaries.
InMice··on Private equity firms acquired more than 500 autism centers in past decade: study
> The primary concern is that private equity firms may prioritize financial gains over families, said Daniel Arnold, a senior research scientist at the School of Public Health.

...may? How are they not already by gobbling them up in a calculated way. Targeting states with lax insurance claim scrutiny

InMice··on Sergey Brin's Unretirement
I scrolled this whole thread curious if someone would make this simple observation. We did not survive and evolve for millions of years to be born and then do nothing, to not meet needs and have needs met. Historical precedent, tamper with carefully.

I am partial fire and I feel that line of demarcation personally. I've also watched it play out in others like clockwork. As wealth grows, new responsibilities emerge.

InMice··on Slop Is Slop
It's labeled "whole milk" in small text then below in bigger text it's labeled "low fat milk". The fact that this was not caught and likely would not be deliberate by the author seems slopy (sloppy?) to me. Just my two cents
InMice··on Show HN: Jmail – Google Suite for Epstein files
You added icons and functionality to go to the beginning or end of search/inbox - Something that gmail just has never budged on having and always annoyed me! One of the first things I noticed. I must not be alone on this lol
InMice··on Thomas Piketty: 'The reality is the US is losing control of the world'
Both political far sides are rocking the boat, not just rights even tho they are in power. It's both of them together and the dysfunction of their inability to compromise or reason on anything. Moderates or centrist voters in the USA have no representation and haven't for some time.
InMice··on Largest U.S. recycling project to extend landfill life for Virginia residents
I wonder this too, eventually robots will pick apart the landfills once there is technology to deal with it. Tons of metal goes into landfills that could go to scrap yards, etc Altho when they cap off landfills they become a ski resort or a subvision.

Is that form of plastic reuse really all that great? Perhaps new plastic doesn't need to get produced. But it's still plastic and it's still going to just shed microplastics everywhere and eventually end up in a landfill.
InMice··on Largest U.S. recycling project to extend landfill life for Virginia residents
It could otherwise be reused? A lot of glass containers come with a deposit and then are reused once returned. This happens with some glass milk containers (exactly why I dont know). If container shape and size became somewhat standardized this could work better. Glass can be reused while not shedding microplastic everywhere in the process.

It is a free for all in USA, sometimes the trash truck comes down and grabs both recycling bins and trash bins and just dumps all into the same truck. No one cares, customer or trash service company. Many facilities dont sort if sorting becomes too much work they just toss what was picked up as reycling into the trash. Walk inside any warehouse type facility in America and they throw anything and everything into the trash that has lost its utility for the business. Working inside an order fulfillment warehouse opened my eyes to how much waste is created just to pack and ship everyones cheap single use junk. Bottle deposits haven't been adjusted for inflation in decades, no one even talks about it. States that dont have deposit laws people just litter aluminim cans everywhere. When there are bottle deposit laws they have exceptions like no deposit required for aluminum can if its contents are not carbonated. Why should that matter? Most people toss their food waste into the trash, effectively no one bothers with the effort to return nutrients back into the earth. Why do that when we can just pointlessly haul it away in a fuel burning truck and seal it away with toxic everyday garbage. The people who actually care about re-use and or reducing waste are tiny vocal minority compared to everyone else. When I walk into a grocery story filled with 100+ shoppers I am always the only person using reusable, non-plastic bags. I also laugh when if you don't use plastic bags, they slap plastic stickers on your items thanking you for not using plastic bags LOL. I know other countries are worse with pollution but gosh. Sounds nice in Zurich if there's actually people that care.

The recycling fantasy and forever increasing plastic production go hand in hand together.

Im talking about squirrels and modern suburbia. That's a protected crossing
InMice··on Stop crawling my HTML – use the API
I think the only thing the bots will do in response is relentlessly pound both endpoints instead of just one.

It absolutely would be easier

It's not about the money, it's about the squirrels!
InMice··on Rats Play DOOM
This is the coolest thing Ive seen in a long time. I wonder if we could use this to train squirrels to not get hit by cars.
