shafkathullahon Apple introduces M6 and M5 Ultra

Saw a 768GB RAM mac coming soon, would wait for that.

shafkathullahon Show HN: Deepmark – Search your bookmarks by what's inside them, not the title

I can understand — is price too much? how much are you willing to pay for this? how about paying for indexing only ie, non recurring payment? eg: $5 for 1000 pages etc.

shafkathullahon Show HN: Deepmark – Search your bookmarks by what's inside them, not the title

I think browsers can't go that far I guess. I don't think say google chrome would offer sync service for saves from X, Instagram, YouTube etc. with deep media indexing etc.

shafkathullahon Ask HN: I am building a app to deep search bookmarks from browser, X etc.

I am almost done developing TBH.

shafkathullahon Ask HN: What is interviewing like now with everyone using AI?

it makes sense, because interview questions often lack novelty, it's usually very repeated, and almost all AI is very good at these, i think asking to switch of AI and doing a live coding or thinking outloud is the way forward. or else just give them a sample story point and see how well they respond, if they can do it well means they can work well in the company.

shafkathullahon Tailwind is a leaky abstraction

~~You still need to know CSS.~~ I think its the most important reason for tailwindcss's success, as other UI framework builds new API on top of CSS, say in mui things like <Grid /> etc. tries to reinvent things in CSS for sake of simplicity per say but in reality its just more API for developer to learn.

shafkathullahon Physical buttons outperform touchscreens in new cars, test finds

I see much parallel with this and MacBookPro touch-bar failure. Visual interaction need much attention, so switching from primary attention(Road/MacBookPro main display) seems to be a slow/tiring overhead.

I made HackerCards(https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hackercards/ncblkm...) to easily skim over HackerNews on chrome new tab page.

And yes my own Chrome theme 'Space Grey'(https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/space-grey/cohabkm...)

shafkathullahon Ask HN: Avoid burn out from doing sideproject on weekends

What I meant is whether its a good idea to switch career onto tech support so that I can work on dev side-projects on weekends rather than working as a dev on weekdays and again do coding on weekends.
