I agree somewhat. An example might be a .md file describing a UI for commonly used tool that is invoked whenever you reference it. This could be a stripped down version of a complex UI for some software that has a lot of different uses (like 3D modeling programs and image editors) allowing the user to focus on the subset of work they do with it.

Bad actors may have created the bad system in the first place, right? You can maybe say it's a flaw in human nature to create bad systems in the first place, but maybe the real flaw is our inability to fix them?

>"Ring" means you are navigating linearly and circularly. Ring is also a group of people, sometimes unified by a single purpose and lead by a "ringleader". That's the way webring is being used.

I'm not sure I've read anything more wrong on Hacker News than this post.

Poverty is a spectrum. Naturally, abject poverty is worse than regular poverty. I see too many people say "you're not poor, you have a phone" or "you're not homeless, you aren't sleeping on the sidewalk" (both of these have been said to me). There is a mismatch between what people imagine as poor and what poverty is, and of course, things could always be worse.

It's a terrible policy. I know someone who is 74 and never owned a computer. They own a smartphone but only know how to use the phone app and really don't understand texting. I was shocked when I learned this and I imagine there are many people like him.

Same here, everyone I've introduced to Live has been completely stumped by session view and preferred linear arrangement. I don't understand why it's the default view other than hanging on to the idea that this software is first a live looping tool and DAW second.

I use RSS for Reddit and don't plan to ever log in again. This latest upheaval reminded me I was spending too much time there and after taking a break I've realized most of the content is garbage. Now Reddit is just another feed to a site I don't participate in (like the cesspool that is Slashdot).

Good tip. I just recently started tagging my bookmarks because I have too many to easily sort.

Yeah, this is a garbage site on typography. It's mostly just one person's personal taste.

Saw this on reddit days ago, still waiting for someone to show any kind of scientific evidence for it's usefulness.

As someone who has written a lot of music using Pocket Operators I disagree. They have been part of my songwriting tool chain for years and have pretty much worked their way into every recording I've made since I bought them. They are the perfect accompaniment when sitting down with a guitar to write music either acting as a metronome, a groove to jam over, or a complete drum/bass/synth backup with an arrangement (16 patterns and 128 measures is enough to write a good song). Also, Pocket Operators are cheap as hell, most under $100.

Upvote for Apache Server Side Includes. Two years ago I was tasked with redesigning an important informational website that never got the proper attention because all devs were occupied with maintaining the different web application stacks. I wanted something future-proof that an intern could update, basically straight HTML and minimal CSS. I replaced anything that would normally use PHP (and in some cases JavaScript) with stuff built in to Apache. It's cool that Apache also supports conditionals.

My first impression was also that this was an ad for Hey. Maybe that's not what the author intended, but it reads that way to me and it's a bad first impression.
