dcgoss··on Apple doesn't care about album cover art
The album art is more than sufficiently large on their modern screen sizes.
dcgoss··on SpaceX delivers 3rd batch of Starlink satellites in two weeks
It’s not space junk. When they’re ready to be decommissioned or they fail, the thrusters turn off and the whole thing descends into the atmosphere and burns up.

dcgoss··on Show HN: 18 year-old and HS XCTF team built a free app for shareable stopwatches
Hey HN! My name is Derek, and this is my project.

Over my years running varsity XC & track in HS, myself and others on my team took a lot of splits during workouts and races. It was always such a hassle to take splits without a convenient way to save, search, and share them with each other besides taking pictures or writing them out on paper. To solve this problem, I worked with my team as well as local athletes and coaches to develop Synchro: a free pro stopwatch app for people who take splits. Synchro Pro removes the ads and enables you to have an unlimited number of simultaneously running stopwatches (free limit is 2) and saved stopwatches in the "Archive" tab (free limit is 5).

It launched yesterday on the App Store, and I'd love for you to try it and let me know what you think!

At least for me, "wasted" is a matter of perspective. Personal interactions and experiencing the surrounding world can be valuable — time is what you make of it.
dcgoss··on A new kind of map: it’s about time
Clever title!

It was an incredible video! I can't believe it's gone either. The mystique behind "Ben Marking" as discussed in that thread is only enhanced by this disappearance.

Edit: It's back? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbB0srzLuuo

dcgoss··on ARKit
AR goes beyond gaming - I thought the idea of using it for things like interior design was great. I remember Apple mentioning that IKEA used ARKit to project models of their furniture into rooms.

Have you tried ASMR videos?

dcgoss··on Thousands of underground gas bubbles poised to 'explode' in Arctic
It always seemed like CO2 was the biggest issue. Call me naive but I didn't hear anything about massive underground methane bubbles ready to explode and destroy humanity imminently.
dcgoss··on Thousands of underground gas bubbles poised to 'explode' in Arctic
This is the first time I've heard about this issue. If this is as severe and terrifying as these comments are making it seem, why has this not been covered more?

First heard about these guys on the Cooking Issues podcast a while back. Cool to see them with YC!
dcgoss··on Introducing Sketch: A Playground for React Native from Expo (YC S16)
My first thought is that it could be called Expo Sandbox. Plays off the Playground theme, and accurately reflects the usage.

Google Cloud can do this, however the volumes must be mounted in read-only mode.

Same here. Something about a debug error.

dcgoss··on AnyBar: OS X menubar status indicator
Sorry, I realize that is unclear. What I was getting at is just if there are any other similar scripting/automation apps out there, perhaps with a different scripting language or other application integrations. I am a newbie in the automation space so I was wondering what other types of apps people may be using.
dcgoss··on AnyBar: OS X menubar status indicator
Looks really interesting, thanks. Does anyone know if there is anything similar to Hammerspoon out there?

dcgoss··on From Kubernetes to a complete application development tool [video]
Very often on HN I see links describing the latest and greatest GitLab feature. It really seems like they've been working hard and doing a good job, and they seem to have a clear vision ("master plan", in their terms). Where is GitHub in all of this? Aren't they concerned about being outinnovated?
dcgoss··on Apple selling a $79 MacBook Pro power adapter without a USB-C cable goes too far
According to around 1:50 of https://youtu.be/zkOKtwiceVw, Apple hid the extension cable inside the box underneath everything else.
dcgoss··on Ask HN: What are the best personal project websites you've seen?
This looks great! I love the cleanliness of it, as well as the consistent design language and the buttons.
