Still not great, but do you know about the spacebar trick? Anywhere the keyboard is open in iOS or iPadOS, press and hold the spacebar. The keyboard is now a trackpad and you can easily move the cursor. Incredibly bad discoverability but has been a big qol improvement for me.

The author didn't specify whether the donated iPads had LTE connectivity but did say that they very much enjoyed LTE on theirs. This is an edge for the iPad I think? Not sure how the cell plans would be worked out but having an always on, semi reliable connection could be a big positive here.

This is an issue I've seen with programmers that hop around companies every year or two - they rarely get to see how their software choices play out in the long term and so never really internalize what works and what doesn't. Same issue to some extent with people who keep hopping around languages/frameworks - if you only have experience writing projects from scratch you'll never really understand what works and what doesn't from a long term maintenance perspective.

Once you've logged into facebook from the device, they likely created a device fingerprint for your device: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_fingerprint . This would allow them to identify you even without a cookie or ad id to correlate against.

Has anyone here had experience with this type of "decision automation" platform? Bryter looks very well put together, I haven't worked anywhere that was using software like this before.

This you can actually fix - check out Settings -> Advanced -> Input Options for enter behaviour in code blocks.

Agreed! The ORM I'm currently using has been setting text for all my `string` columns by default and I was feeling the need to go fix a few, so this is one of those magical times when procrastinating on an issue paid off in my favour.
On that note though, I wonder what impact (if any) this has on an index covering the column? I could be off here but from my mysql days I was under the impression the index would be more efficient if there was a length limit on the column.

A large portion of the cost of high performance hearing aids today is not not the hearing aids themselves, its the overheads of the local office which are amortized over very few local customers. Generally, the cost of a high performance device is around $300-500 to an audiologist. This is why online companies, like https://www.embracehearing.com (full disclosure, this is my father's company), are able to sell high end hearing aids for about 1/3 of the price of retail.

I also do this, but I'm not sure that it's unique to hacker news. The immediate example that comes to mind is that while one might not watch something like a Presidential Address, or for that matter a White House news conference, one is more likely to watch the evening news or read a newspaper where people dissect the information and TLDR it for them as well as provide some contextual commentary.

We played with this a bit using both cloudfront and other cdns. While we did see some small improvements, it wasn't nearly as good as we were expecting on the upload side. It may be fixed now, but there were also many issues getting the proper headers to pass through cloudfront to s3 for chunked uploads.

Possibly referring to jQuery 2 dropping support for IE 8 and down?
- chef personalities generating interesting recipes every couple days
- the ability to save and edit these recipes to suit your needs/ingredients
- the ability to schedule weekly meal plan generations that take the inspiration content and give you a plan and shopping list for the week.
We had our first kid this year and I've been having more trouble getting things together for home cooked meals. This is my attempt to make it is frictionless as possible. I'm working on getting instacart API access so I can build out the cart for the meal plan automatically, at which point I'm hoping this is a one click confirmation a week to keep interesting food flowing. Works great for scheduling baby meals as well!
