__natty__··on Gemma 4 on iPhone
That's a great project! I just wondered whether Google would have a problem with you using their trademark
__natty__··on Open source CAD in the browser (Solvespace)
Looking at stream events, the event type is so long and often repeated for each event with little extra payload it could be potentially easy win for Anthropic to optimize system bandwidth by using shorthands.

__natty__··on Say No to Palantir in Europe
I wonder what the alternative for Europe might be? A new project to launch, or is there an existing solution? Siren? Argon? In any case, it could be a great opportunity for Europe to create new jobs whilst increasing its sovereignty.
__natty__··on LinkedIn uses 2.4 GB RAM across two tabs
And on the same topic again, it's not "LinkedIn" but some managers most likely in marketing and tech who allowed this amount of bloatware. And I won't believe this RAM usage is really needed just for displaying static content or chat. It's like always trackers and ads.
__natty__··on Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at kernel with massive speed gains
Some people are exceptional at solving difficult but hard to explain problems while other are great solving direct business problems. No need to feel ashamed for both it’s just different work
__natty__··on PC Gamer recommends RSS readers in a 37mb article that just keeps downloading
It's not just "PC Gamer" but people making decisions behind as always. Three first people from their "Meet the Team" page [0]: Tim Clark — Brand Director (@timothydclark), Evan Lahti - Strategic Director (@elahti), Phil Savage — Global Editor-in-Chief (@Octaeder). Hopefully they can see this HN thread and people complains and do "something" about that.

__natty__··on 27-year-old Apple iBooks can connect to Wi-Fi and download official updates
And the UI was so good back then compared to the liquid glass introduced recently
__natty__··on I now assume that all ads on Apple news are scams
At first minimalistic ui was because of UX. Today apple design managers went to the UI side forgetting about end user.
__natty__··on Show HN: I spent 4 years building a UI design tool with only the features I use
They won’t see value unless they try. And by lowering price (maybe for a year or two?) you will compete strongly with figma and other design tools. Then you can increase price and see who sees value and who doesn’t.
__natty__··on Hungry Fat Cells Could Someday Starve Cancer
And he was only 35. Rest in peace.
__natty__··on GLM-4.7: Advancing the Coding Capability
I can imagine someone from the past reading this comment and having a moment of doubt
__natty__··on Bring bathroom doors back to hotels
Recently I stayed in the Korean hotel where the toilet and the bathroom had the door but made out of semi transparent glass. And the worst, the toilet was next to the glass and walls while on the opposite side was bed. Perfect view and the smell my friend
__natty__··on Britain jumps into bed with Palantir in £1.5B defense pact
How in practice their products work? For example Palantir Gotham. What for they use it? I wonder if it’s like Tableau for military?
__natty__··on Java 25: Oracle is Cool Again
Isn’t OpenJDK or other open source sdk enough to not worry about Oracle? Genuine question.
__natty__··on Launch HN: VibeFlow (YC S25) – Web app generator with visual, editable workflows
Don't get me wrong, I wish your start-up all the best, but this particular application seems so stereotypical by current standards. It's at least four buzzwords combined into one "idea". As someone who has never tried to apply, I wonder how difficult it was to get through Y Combinator's selection process.
__natty__··on GitHub was having issues
Agree, atlassian products are much worse in terms of reliability.
__natty__··on Show HN: Engineering.fyi – Search across tech engineering blogs in one place
I have so many of tech blogs in my bookmarks. And I open them maybe once per month. How often do you read these blogs?
__natty__··on GPT 5 coming tomorrow confirmed
It may be GPT-4.55 as well. I find it really funny to explain someone non technical versioning of LLM models of different companies.
__natty__··on Denmark Is Switching to Linux
That's good information for the FOSS community. Most people I know could go the same way. They are using an operating system solely to launch a web browser and occasionally office applications.
__natty__··on Cap: Lightweight, modern open-source CAPTCHA alternative using proof-of-work
I like the simplicity of this project. I created my own open-source, no tracking captcha using both proof-of-work and image puzzle challenges 4 years ago as a side project for my studies and my former employer's internal hackathon [0].

At the time, it was an idea based on spam prevention active systems. However, for the browser, there are many issues with such solutions—if you can solve it, then bots can too. It slows them down a little, but that's about it.

__natty__··on As a developer, my most important tools are a pen and a notebook
I found some data on slate - between 7000-14000 sheets to balance an iPad over 3 years of usage. [0]

__natty__··on Show HN: 1 min workouts for people who sit all day
Or a PDF with workouts for the next 30 days.
__natty__··on Google AI Ultra
> YouTube Premium: An individual YouTube Premium plan lets you watch YouTube and listen to YouTube Music ad-free, offline and in the background.

It seems weird to me, they included entertainment service in „work” related plan.

__natty__··on Jules: An Asynchronous Coding Agent
Unless you ask them to follow some guidelines, but I agree with you.
__natty__··on Zod 4
Great job! I love support of json conversion you built-in. However, I find top level string bad choice as it was more verbose before, to have them under string() namespace.
__natty__··on The Mythology of Work (2018)
> For hundreds of years, people have claimed that technological progress would soon liberate humanity from the need to work. Today we have capabilities our ancestors couldn’t have imagined, but those predictions still haven’t come true. In the US we actually work longer hours than we did a couple generations ago—the poor in order to survive, the rich in order to compete.

I’m missing something probably but isn’t quite opposite? Today we work about 40-50h per week vs 60-80+ in the past. Also, we can rely often on technology instead of doing everything manually. I’m truly curious what author of the article had in mind.

__natty__··on LibreOffice 400M Downloads, and Counting
It's anecdotal, but I have a similar feeling about OnlyOffice. It has better compatibility with Word than LibreOffice and has an easier-to-use, modern interface resembling Word 2010/2013.
__natty__··on What other communities do you use apart from HN?
Reddit and Discord. I dislike how difficult is to find valuable information now because communities on discord are locked in custom tech.

In the past I was active on some online forums for moto enthusiasts, gaming and news but this time is gone sadly. Now I try to minimise time spent online.

__natty__··on Ask HN: 2025 Resolutions?
Not exactly a New Year's Resolution, but something I'm working on at the moment is learning the guitar, a third language, critical thinking, gaining a better understanding of various philosophical concepts, attending club dance parties even more, and deliberately practising software architecture.
__natty__··on PostgreSQL 17
This release is good on so many levels. Just the performance optimisations and the JSON TABLE feature could be entirely separated release, but we got so much more.
