ahh the notch sensitive cohort.. i never understood the massive focus on removing the notch on smartphones.. it's of trivial significance to millions of ppl I would assume

This laptop has a 4:3 display!?
jordache··on Analyzing iMessage with SQL
Hmm so their schema contains both camelCase and snake_case ? ewww
jordache··on Ask HN: MacBooks seems to be the only viable option these days
Apple's service network, via physical stores can not be beat!

I had an issue with my Samsung smart phone at one point. However, I couldn't part with the phone for x number of weeks, to send it in, for an assessment.

After that, I realized ease of support on iPhone was the biggest differentiator between Apple and other brands

jordache··on I stopped advertising and nothing happened
what does your point got to do with my argument - How the cited example of rasp-pi is not a strong argument for usefulness of ads
jordache··on Using Windows after 15 years on Linux
windows blows.. I only use it for gaming.
jordache··on I stopped advertising and nothing happened
rasppi is a niche product. There will never be mass consumer appeal. Just like how you don't see advertisement for Ergodox keyboards. Even if they spent money on ad campaign, it will likely not move the revenue needle
jordache··on Slack is down for some users
it's like they just don't care.

Why can't you have image inline with text? I hate to waste energy to refer to attached images in my text ("regarding the 2nd image")

jordache··on Slack is down for some users
It sucks in that you can't edit the image attached to a message. Only text..

WTH? Why not?

jordache··on Slack is down for some users
what a sigh of relieve.

It's a really refreshing feeling to know, that channel of communication is not available for anyone in my company.

it's like a veil has been lifted off my eyes

jordache··on Redesigned Notepad for Windows 11
That is true on macos. I'm being prompted for any consequential actions.

In Windows 10 + 11, that prompt does not exist, if you are signed in with the admin account.

jordache··on Redesigned Notepad for Windows 11
windows 10 + 11 is such a mess.

It's just a pretty skin on top of the same Windows NT Window chrome. The modern UI skin is baked in with a bunch of none-sensical UX decisions.

I also hate how Windows' happy-path setup, does not encourage use to create and operate with a low privileged local account. Instead, if you click through the setup process, you end up running the OS w/ an admin level account.

jordache··on Websites should not use dithered images
>It was never meant for image compression.

It was image compression. You "reduce" the file size of the images by using an algorithmic approach to reduce the color palette, while achieving as much as the OG image quality as possible.

jordache··on Websites should not use dithered images
It's 2021. Who is still using dithering? How did this article even make it to HN?

I recall dithering being heavily used in the days of very finite color palettes - BMP, GIF16 etc..

jordache··on Chip shortage leads carmaker Opel to shut German plant until 2022
You assert removing those "luxury" items results in a car that is immune to chip supply issues.
jordache··on A search engine that favors text-heavy sites and punishes modern web design
how about a search engine that bans all pinterest content.

I hate pinterest with a passion. I may need to get a "his" laptop separate from my wife, since she needs that darn pinterest extension for pinning photos.

jordache··on Deploy a website on imgur.com
_____ requires a browser, so it's less resilient than a solution without a browser dependency.
jordache··on Perceptual Illusions (2018)
what's the rate of a given illusion working consistently across general population? Probably not high enough to make that approach work.
jordache··on OnlyFans drops planned porn ban
lol these weak people. Just stick to your business driven decisions.
jordache··on Google employees who work from home could lose money
What are people complaining about?

A cost of living (COL) variable in your compensation keeps things rational.

Plus people are missing the fact that the original compensation of X was established in the context of some geographical region. So people complain if their COL adjustment decreases their pay but all good if COL increases their pay?

You gotta have it working in both ways.

Do people still regard CSS transform as a solid strategy to invoke GPU powered UI updates?
