Anyone have a mirror for the first link? It served me a page assumedly intended for AI scrapers and then promptly blocked me when I refreshed a few times.

My usual workflow with archive files (that I've just downloaded) is clicking the file in my browser's download list to open it and then extracting it. In WinRAR, the extraction path is pre-filled to be "<archive directory>/<archive name>", and there is an option to automatically open this folder after extraction. 7-Zip doesn't have this, so I'd need to manually add the archive name to the extraction path and then separately browse to it. Granted, if you browse to the archive and right click it, 7-Zip does have an option to extract to an "<archive name>" folder (though this still doesn't automatically open it afterwards), but that's an unnecessary extra step.

There might be an oversaturation of Mac native apps on the HN front page relative to Linux/Windows native apps. I, too, feel a bit disappointed when they are posted for the same reason as SomeCallMeTim (especially if it's not clear from the post's title that it's Mac exclusive and it only becomes apparent deep into the linked page), but I also know there are tons of native tools for Windows and Linux — they're just not discussed here as often. Though this could also be confirmation bias on my part.

Would you be able to give a ballpark figure for the extended licenses? I'd rather not get into a sales funnel before knowing what kind of numbers I should expect. In particular, I'm interested in being able to use the full set of icons rather than being limited to 100/project (and having to track that).

As pointed out in the linked article, the stats conflate unwelcome/unrequested notification prompts (e.g. Reddit, which pops up the prompt the first time you open the website (or used to anyway)) and cases where the user explicitly requests/opts in to notifications. I feel like the latter is something that proper web apps that don't utilize dark patterns could make very good use of. Consider the 85% acceptance rate for the camera/microphone prompt; few websites request camera/microphone permissions in the same intrusive way as they request notification permissions, hence it's not declined as often.

I personally moved to Apple Music with my music library. Allows uploading and then streaming your own songs, has a streaming subscription option and a store to purchase music, and works on the devices I use. And while iTunes on Windows may be clunkier than Spotify, it's a hell of a lot more usable - for my use cases anyway.

I have lots of music that is not available on streaming services, so being able to upload and stream songs is a must for me. Spotify only offers syncing between devices which is definitely not the same.

In my experience, 99% of the relationships I fetch fit the basic one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many definitions that pretty much all ORMs support. For these cases, the queries are generally more than efficient enough and there's little reason to reinvent the wheel and implement the code for fetching those relationships yourself.

For anything more complex, I agree. But for the common case of fetching simple and often (depending on your project) nested relations, I definitely enjoy the abstraction provided by ORMs.

Do you want the manufacturer of your computer or its operating system - and only them - to be able to specify exactly who can and can't develop software for it, and whose software you can and can't run? I don't, and I don't see any situation where I'd want a single entity to have that power, even if it comes with security benefits (which are not mutually exclusive to this setup either).
