ramones13··on Obsidian 1.0 – Personal knowledge base app
It varies for me. I’ll often write a draft of something in obsidian, then put it onto a doc/wiki and update my obsidian file to a link to that with a list of keywords for if I ever search it again.
ramones13··on Ask HN: How to make a native GUI with a modern language?
You should verify the original commenters statements hold true in your target environment(s). Office has started heavily relying on WebView2, any enterprise using Office should have WebView2 updating working properly. Ditto for Windows 11.

Not sure what time period the original commenter is referring to, this story has developed quite a bit over the past year, even into last month - https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2022/06/27/delivering-th...

Edit: and if your alternative is Electron, WV2’s fixed runtime is the same concept as Electron in a static Chromium version - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/con...

100% agree.

The take that asking a question and verifying the decision twice isn't a "dark pattern" it's knowing that people often don't fully read. A true dark pattern is hiding the "confirm" button or swapping primary/secondary.

Also the part about "make fat returns by monetizing my private data, including my health information" is 100% unfounded. Strava monetizes VERY well off of adding additional features for subscribers like many services these days. I've been using Strava for a month free, and they do a really great balance of teasing the features you're missing out on without being too pushy.

ramones13··on Why Does Windows Have Terrible Battery Life?
The first half the article is comparing three or even four different classes of device. He's got a mobile gaming console hardware wise the equivalent of a phone, a 7 inch ARM tablet, some ~10 inch ARM tablets, and an x86 tablet.

It's like comparing apples, oranges, peaches, and tomatoes.
