My friends iPhone got replaced 3 times, every single time the same fault. Something to do with audio interface going missing and mic not working.

His next phone was an Android.

I remember looking it up and there were rumours that Apple had initially acknowledged this fault and replaced them with no questions asked but then withdrawn the memo.

Convert to epub and use text to speech on your e-book reader.

Not the best, but you didn't ask for the best :)

In the spirit of the Halloween documents, Microsoft implemented and extended the Kerberos protocol.

Extended it just a tiny bit enough to be incompatible with everyone else. After getting bad PR in the media, they reluctantly agreed to publish their changes. And guess what?

... in order to get it, you have to run a Windows .exe file which forces you agree to a click-through license agreement where you agree to treat it as a trade secret, before it will give you the .pdf file

I can't be the only one wishing there was a video of it in action?!

Only dead fish go with the flow.

On the topic of flash cards, the Leitner system is pretty awesome.

Namecheap or Google domains.

I was once working with a guy that was hell bent on microservices.

When our banking application became incompatible with logging, due to his microservice design, he really argued, fought and sulked that logging wasn't important and we didn't need it.

Wow, this both a fantastic joke and could be used as a school book example of the importance of context.

Given of course that everyone would have watched Father Ted. But the world would be a better place if everyone did.

This is brilliant, well done! Is it possible to build the app as a (Linux) desktop client?

This is a totally out of context article.

This article sums up the value of combined networking, talent, opportunity and creative thinking.

This is not helpful, this is simply Besserwisser nonsense.

> You mean all the other blogs? Do you mean all blogs that don't state skin colors in the domain/name are done by white people? That's one of the more racist and demeaning comments I've seen here.

> What worked for printed text has no bearing for what works on an illuminated screen.

Yes it does.

> ... but it is equally important that things aren't too bright. You should avoid using extremes like #000000 and #ffffff ...

No, you shouldn't avoid them. Users are fully capable of adjusting the brightness and contrast of their monitors.

> Believe me, as a 50+ year old, I notice when it's hard to read things.

I believe you. I just don't think your personal experience is relevant.

What point where you making?

Cool. But please fix that light gray text on white background in the demo (or make it even paler for more avant-garde :)

What was it about?

Mind sharing it?

Nice project.

After I had to throw away a perfectly fine and good scanner because it didn't have Windows 7 drivers (let alone Linux), I now only buy hardware that's properly supported on Linux.

I kind of agree with you, but I see them authors as avant-garde. Let them be and perhaps something new or an improvement will come out of it for the rest of us.

You're the one mentioning men.

Those are real issues, made particularly worse due to covid.

They also make it to the front page so they ought to resonate with the crowd.

Printing out an exception stacktrace is generally awful in a non development context.

But hiding them and printing out "failed to run" is even worse.

I've seen people do that to have a "neat output".

Don't be that person.

I speak for me, myself and I. That's three votes buddy.

Brilliant idea!

That logo however is the most repulsive piece of artwork I've seen in a long time.

(I am sorry for being blunt)

For the record, I'm not going to install an desktop app either to use a web service :)

You can say two things about a piece of technology.

"It's going to change the world". Yeah right. It's written by a marketing dept. to generate hype.

"It's not going to change the world". Now, who writes that and why? There's definitely something interesting about this tech.

>its just that

It's not just that. OP's title is "I've built a tool for musicians using mod..."

1. The title is highly inaccurate. It's not a tool for musicians, it's for a specific subset of musicians (like you say).

2. The OP got a front page listing on HN. He missed a golden opportunity explaining things. He probably got a lot of musician visitors that found it interesting, but just got confused and left.

Interesting. Will have a look when I don't need to install an app to use it.
