_HMCB_··on How much oranger do red orange bags make oranges look?
Agreed.
_HMCB_··on Hunger shifts attention towards less healthy food options, study finds
I don’t understand the possible solution this article describes. Educating people is trumped by the fact hunger exacerbates unhealthy eating. So not having people in a vulnerable, very hungry state is key to having them consider healthy options.
_HMCB_··on I tried every top email marketing tool
I’ve been with MailerLite for close to five years. I agree with his findings.
_HMCB_··on Netflix buffering issues: Boxing fans complain about Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson
They didn’t miss anything.
_HMCB_··on Mozilla is eliminating its advocacy division
I’ve been following them for over 20 years. Mozilla’s problem is idealism. One project to the next. At the end day, you have to pay your bills.
_HMCB_··on Show HN: Replacicon – Create and customize app icons on macOS
Yes it does.
_HMCB_··on Crafting Painterly Shaders
LOL. I had Unread’s developer communicating with me via email. He was trying to help me troubleshoot for a day when all of a sudden magically the articles appeared. Haha. I mentioned to him maybe you saw my comment, before I saw your message. So funny. Anyways, thank you as I really wanted to follow your blog. Much appreciated.
_HMCB_··on Crafting Painterly Shaders
Good catch. Unfortunately my RSS app isn’t displaying the feed. First time I’ve ever encountered this. I’ve reached out to Unread app developer to see if there’s a fix.
_HMCB_··on Launch HN: Skyvern (YC S23) – open-source AI agent for browser automations
Thank you.
_HMCB_··on Launch HN: Skyvern (YC S23) – open-source AI agent for browser automations
What do you mean they threw in their hat? I am not aware as to what happened.
_HMCB_··on Scramble: Open-Source Alternative to Grammarly
This is awesome. Can’t wait to install it and put it through its paces.
_HMCB_··on ESA report shows unsustainable levels of orbital debris
Humans ruin everything.
_HMCB_··on Husband and wife outed as GRU spies aiding bombings and poisonings across Europe
Where is the wife? Apparently the husband died.
_HMCB_··on Equinox.space
This is the most amazing experience I’ve ever had on the web. Bar none. I’m blown away.
_HMCB_··on Interview with a blind developer on how he works (2017)
Wonderful article. I see it’s a few years old. Wonder if VS Code has improved vastly in accessibility and what the author’s take is now.
_HMCB_··on Stuffit – 30 Years of File Compression
Mind blown.
_HMCB_··on 'Like we were lesser humans': Gaza boys, men recall Israeli arrest, torture
I disagree. Bringing this to light even without discussion has merit. We are all members of the human race and I for one am grateful it was posted.
_HMCB_··on 'Like we were lesser humans': Gaza boys, men recall Israeli arrest, torture
Heartbreaking story. Truly heartbreaking.

“It does not belong to man to direct his own step.”

_HMCB_··on Tell HN: There is a highlights page on HN
Awesome find
_HMCB_··on Text editing on mobile: the invisible problem
iOS 17 improves text selection on many fronts, even in edit mode. Try it.
_HMCB_··on Show HN: Loopy – share and find and music you love
Yes, that’s what I did on my iPhone. I used the app’s share feature and ‘copy link.’ I can’t see iOS circumventing Spotify links.
_HMCB_··on Show HN: Loopy – share and find and music you love
Unfortunately Spotify links don’t work for me. For instance, the following URL copied from Spotify’s share extension in iOS returns a not-valid link in your app:

https://spotify.link/0elKaAdp1Cb

_HMCB_··on Show HN: Broken Bear, the AI teddy bear that loves your broken self
I had a great conversation with him. Very smart in some areas and context aware.
_HMCB_··on R.I.P. Macromedia FreeHand (2007)
Gosh I loved that program so much. Nothing like it to this day even.
_HMCB_··on Anime.js – A lightweight JavaScript animation library
Amen.
_HMCB_··on Amazon duped millions of consumers into enrolling in Prime, US FTC says
I don’t find Prime hard to cancel but I do agree that certain patterns are crafty. Like when I go to buy a single Kindle book and it defaults to their subscription service (Kindle Unlimited). With 1-click purchase, it’s too easy to buy and not know.
_HMCB_··on The Federated App Problem
One problem I see is the lack of cohesiveness between clients. What one client/app chooses to name a “repost” is different than another client. Icons for said features also vastly differ. So it’s hard to build unity through the ecosystem without a common language (visual and vocabulary). This is just my brand developer’s take.
_HMCB_··on Using loophole, Seward County seizes millions from motorists without convictions
It’s literally highway robbery.
_HMCB_··on When “free forever” means “free for the next 4 months”
“We fully expect to continue offering the Zulip Cloud Free plan indefinitely” doesn’t exactly garner confidence from an article written by a competitor. SMH.
_HMCB_··on Meta is building a decentralized, text-based social network
Agreed 100%.
