bytematic··on How Stripe Designs Websites (2017)
Posting about design on hackernews is going to be tough haha. I think some sort of merge between stripe and gov.uk is the ideal design experience generally, and then flavor depending on the intent of the product

Terrible hierarchy of elements on sourcehut, I don't know how to read this website efficiently

bytematic··on Vanmoof S3 E-bike Review

bytematic··on U.S. Postal Workers Were on the Front Lines Before. They Were Ignored
Wonder what happens when soldiers can't send/receive mail from their families
bytematic··on Riot Games newest title “Valorant” installs kernel driver to run anti-cheat
I agree, as a competitive fps player, I welcome this. Cheating was so bad in CSGO that people made a whole business running custom servers and private anti-cheat. They took the advanced steps that Valve wouldn't.
bytematic··on Riot Games newest title “Valorant” installs kernel driver to run anti-cheat
Those are garbage limitations that lower the skill ceiling of the game so low as to not be remotely enjoyable

Does anyone know how they are scaling so gracefully?
bytematic··on Trading halted as U.S. stocks plummet
Most people don't seem to understand that you don't pull all your retirement out at once, so the market going up or down doesn't really affect that
bytematic··on “Just walk out” technology by Amazon
No way does that completely defeat the convenience. To just walk up and put your email in, is even much easier than ordering at kiosks at something like mcdonalds
bytematic··on LightSpeed: Rewriting Messenger’s codebase for a faster, smaller, simpler app
Sometimes making something simple is harder than making something complex
bytematic··on 'Mad' Mike Hughes, flat-Earth theorist, dies in rocket mishap
Socratic method?
bytematic··on More bosses give four-day workweek a try
It's interesting how many of those things rely on certain businesses being open 5 days a week at least.
bytematic··on Google Fonts Analytics
Rust based font tools? Do you mean local font manipulation type scripts or some sort of web service?
bytematic··on Japan has 33k businesses at least a century old
Is it part of the culture in japan that you take over the business of your parents? I wonder if that negatively affects the quality of the business to have children running it that don't particularly want to.
bytematic··on The spine of San Francisco is now car-free
Here in madison we have a personal car-free street in our "spine" and it's great, the businesses there are some of the most sought after spaces
bytematic··on Many games are held together by duct tape
Imagine how many billion dollar ideas are just sitting on peoples hard-drives

Spelt a little different but McIntosh audio makes the most beautiful audio equipment

Shared this in my company slack. Everyone should read this
bytematic··on Bay Area Regional GTFS Feed: 31 transit agency feeds together in one API
It has all the bus stops and times for applications to use. Metros usually generate them to send to google for their app but they sometimes also publish them online for people to use.
bytematic··on Is Fry’s Electronics in trouble?
Honestly, Amazon. I usually find a microcenter because the drive (90miles) results in money saved anyways
bytematic··on Is Git Irreplaceable? (2019)
It's likely that there are many Linus's but they are not in positions (third-world, poverty, poor parenting, dictatorships) to achieve the same. That's why I think the biggest progress in tech/innovation will come with lifting as many people as possible out of those situations
bytematic··on Is Fry’s Electronics in trouble?
I've stayed away from newegg since they got bought by a chinese company and allowed third party vendors. The prices are rarely the best anymore
bytematic··on Oslo had 0 pedestrian, 0 cyclist, 0 children and 1 driver trafic deaths in 2019
I imagine it is quite close, the county of Milwaukee is essentially just the city. Even many of the suburbs are in surrounding counties
bytematic··on You have to follow the recipe
I agree and just want to say that I find your writing style very easy to read. It's hard to string together those thoughts and words coherently all the way thru, it would take me a second pass to have it flow the way you do

bytematic··on An investigation into the smartphone tracking industry
They figured out that they can make a lot more doing enterprise-level tracking
bytematic··on Rust 1.40
I don't know about that, Microsoft security analysis is in Rust, Google wrote an OS in rust, Mozilla firefox is mid-rewrite in rust, Linux is accepting rust work
bytematic··on An investigation into the smartphone tracking industry
oh yeah, I'm suprised nobody is talking about Pilgrim. https://enterprise.foursquare.com/products/pilgrim
