I wish I could change just that one color in my iMessage app without messing up the rest of my iOS color scheme.

We switched to using FB messenger because it’s easier to use and read for everyone in our family.

Old school iOS SMS used black text which was much more readable.

It’s as if I’m writing with yellow highlighter on white paper. Painful.

Worse, it changes the color of (gasp) the iPhone owner’s outgoing messages. So as an android user, you’re messing up MY texts and ruining MY perception of myself. Ugh.

Yes, humans are stupid. But it would be nice if Apple let me customize the colors in my app. I did just pay them over $2K for new phones for my wife and me.

You know you wouldn’t want to swap the green and blue bubbles.

I am typing this on an iPhone 15 pro max and I have several MacBook pros (M3 Max on the way) and everyone in my family has their own iPad.

I hate that Apple has created this thing where some folks ostracize others because they can taint your group chat with ugly green.

Will MNX allow for inline comments?

I don’t see any comments on the examples page:

https://w3c.github.io/mnx/docs/mnx-reference/examples/

I know JSON doesn’t have comments, but JS and JSON5 allow for comments. It would be super nice to allow for comments because you can hand annotate sections of the MNX file for the purposes of teaching.

Just avoid Chrome, since Google’s business model is all about you seeing the autoplay and full screen ads from UG.

I currently have an iPhone 15 Pro Max and have also used Android devices in the past. I like to switch each time I get a new phone.

Apple definitely picks an ugly color to make you feel uncomfortable texting with a non iPhone user. They should at least let users choose the color (which will never happen).

My friend and I extended the nibbles / snake game ... I wonder if I can get it to run on your qbasic implementation:

I think we just forget how low maintenance a non stick pan is for normal people who don't care about cooking. To normal folks, the idea of preheating a pan slowly, or wiping some oil on with a piece of paper and reheating the pan to dry it (after cooking!) are extra steps that take time out of your busy day. I do notice I use fewer paper towels once switching back to nonstick. I probably also use less oil in my cooking too!

Butter is the only thing that allows my eggs to not stick.

Olive oil and vegetable oils in general cause more sticking.

Maybe we preheat our pans differently? Do you use very low heat but preheat for a longer time?

"learn from an LLM who learned from other humans"

I feel like ChatGPT plus voice input (speech to text) plus voice output at different playback speeds (text to speech) would be a fine way to learn some English.

Maybe it shouldn't be the only method one uses, but I think it is a useful method.

So why not for other languages?

I'd love to use a Japanese LLM with voice capability. It could even write stories for me that I could read and listen to.

Microtransactions, sometimes abbreviated as mtx, are a business model where users can purchase virtual goods with micropayments within a game. Microtransactions are often used in free-to-play games to provide a revenue source for the developers.

They also make my cheap slip on shoes last much longer.

My wife and I smell different scents with differing sensitivities, so I can believe it. (I still remember the smell of roaches from when I was a young child.)

But then one day, about 10 years into the marriage, when Les was 31, he came home, and strangely, Joy says, he smelled different. "His lovely male musk smell had got this overpowering sort of nasty yeast smell," she says.

- High level

- Mid level

- Low (includes "low falling" and "low level")

- Rising (includes "low rising" and "mid rising")

I've combined similar tones into the Low and Rising categories. If you are a non-native Cantonese speaker, and don't differentiate between "low falling" and "low level", native Cantonese speakers will still understand you.

It's difficult for a non-native speaker to distinguish between "low rising" and "mid rising".... so just treat it as a rising tone. I'm a native speaker and sometimes I forget which type of rising tone a particular word is.... I didn't learn it that way, haha. I just learned to say the word the same way my parents did.

The 7th, 8th, and 9th tones are short versions of the three level tones, and they all end in a consonant (like "k"). If you pronounced them the same, but make the syllable very short, you'll be fine.

So yeah.... think of it as 4 tones, just like Mandarin. Three different level tones at high, middle, low pitches, and one rising tone :-).

So all JSON is valid (modern) JavaScript. [1]

Is RON valid Rust?

And yes, I do believe that Hacker News needs a bigger default font.

(I'm getting old. You will too!)

We are using the above discord server to communicate in real time during GDC next week. There is a hacker-news channel that you can join.

Thanks!

I posted an Ask HN to organize a GDC × HN meetup. Depending on interest level, it could just be a quick meet and greet between sessions, or it could be a bring your own lunch and hang outside Metreon on the grass.

I'll also ping you via email.

So maybe you're right. The next Zelda is coming in several months.
