The "you are holding it wrong" company's latest innovation: "you are folding it wrong"

Great idea. Similarly, the only reason I keep OsmAnd installed is that I can add a layer of "Wikipedia articles" -- a fun way to kill time when I'm backpacking and want to explore something outside the influence-o-sphere.

Now getting this info as easily navigable webpages is amazing.

I didn't mention cli on purpose, and I don't care if they can rearrange their commits in the command line or in some fancy gui, as long as they can do it. Also rarely care about aesthetics (e.g. ricing).

I'd rather observed correlation of experts who can navigate their GUIs / TUIs, and being good software engineers.

Yes, the bar sometimes I have to witness, is low, very very low. I say that someone like you who even thinks and can rephrase thoughts about this, is already of the upper percentiles of capability.

OTOH presenting is a different skill. Maybe I should have elaborated that as a field expert of a (not-so-)niche thing, I often get contacted by random colleagues who will ask me to "let them quickly share their screen to show what the problem is". Their demonstrated horrific inability to "do computers" is surprising and upsetting.

Therefore I thought about this a lot in the past. Maybe the windows concept is wrong? Should there be more experiments like OP proposing? And slowly I start to believe, that probably the windows concept is okay, since you and me and thousands of others are capable, and it's just a skill issue.

I like articles that discuss out of ordinary approaches. This is one of those, and I relate to the pain the writer also has.

However...

> Different people use windows totally differently.

The older I get, the more impatient I am with this. In the industry, we normalized that high paid software developers (who are way better programmers, or infra people than I am) waste hundreds of engineering hours with their absolutely broken window management, and command-tab hell. Whenever I have to witness a screenshare of a colleague, my time is also wasted.

I wish this would be an interview gating: show us how you manage yourself in this big monorepo, switching tasks, windows, tabs, desktops, SSHs etc. Do not normalize noob time wasting.

Different people also use pianos differently. Yet, we don't appreciate a noob pushing random keys around it. It would be unpleasant to the ear, just how unpleasant (painful) it is to witness macOSs/gnomes bubblegum horror of sloppily animated chaos.

Back to my point: windows (as in viewports) are with us for many decades. I don't care if you tile, stack, infinite scroll them. Just be productive. Invest upfront in learning, be fast, and be able to explain what I you try to show me on screen.

There will be no one size fits for all, and that part I understand. But please have more dexterity with your desktop abilities than my grandma.

Great visual and usability update.

Even greater HN conversation about all the to-me-unknown alternatives. I used neostore as a replacement, but maybe time to try f-Droid again

I'm more on the Apple hater side, but they getting lazy is simply not true.

For many years Apple dominates the Laptop hardware scene, and while there is no comparably performing competitors threatening them, they keep releasing newer, faster, more efficient chips. After using many operating systems, I know that for sure I don't want MacOS, but the hardware itself is hard to beat.

Same. Works 95% if the time, which is more than enough for me. Even made me read, and organize more.

This language/ecosystem is just crippled...

... thankfully. Gives many of us well-paid jobs, and the inexplicable joy of archeology (why certain decisions were made at some point in the nineties, and what buggy implementation a bits header is fixing).

And I'm not even snarky here. I kinda like to do this.

As a daily user of bitbucket, gitlab, and github, it's refreshing to see how insanely, extremely snappy this web ui is.

I hope all the best to succeed with this project, I'm sold!

I'm a bit opponent of Apple's walled garden, but the build quality of this laptop is quite far away from a MacBook... Except the display, this OLED WXHQwhatever is stunning.

Source: I bought the same (with core i7, so it's performant, etc.).

Except... a million reasons where they will either not understand, or they should have not become a parent.

The problem with the "The Most Infuriating Answer" is that it entirely neglects facts, and only those say it who do have a good experience with it.

Happy for you, internet stranger. Just like I am happy for all of those around me: you all are the ones who do good parenting.

In case you also want to become a better person in general, I recommend to stop being condescending, and not to say this ever again to anyone. You hurt more than you think you are wise.

Then you must be sad that the "AI slop" is a user friendly, working toy whereas the OSM data one is just a miserable static database-render.

Go and compare them. I love getting lost in data, and I was happy to see all the overloaded, very badly curated, non-dynamic OpenRailwayMap. I cannot click on a railway to get more info, the electrification map is just a mess of many similarly shaded colors. Not user friendly, even if it _has_ the data, it is unfriendly to the user, and makes exploration hard.

I say this as an OSM enthusiast and contributor.

Compare this to the "AI slop"; even though at first I ran into a misinformation (Zambia central links to London Central), it still made me stay on the page and explore some scenic routes. I obviously knew that this is NOT all the railways, but something fun to engage with and maybe even learn / explore some new things, hell maybe start planning my winter vacation.

I guess what I am saying is: your comment has no added value, just sourness, negativity.

I hope the author keeps iterating on this project, eventually make it more OSM-interconnected, fix the tiny bugs and focus on bringing joy to us who are interested. After all, this product is out in public now, whereas your miserable comment will get buried here for good.

I my mind it's mostly corporate socio-political. Your management have no idea what a (rest) API is, but they saw MCP in countless LinkedIn slop and therefore you are allowed to work on one / use an upstream solution to connect the agents to your 23 year old monolithic unmaintained homebrew CRM that only runs because overcompensated Frank is still willing to pet it manually.

Not sure, haven't tried it today.

Last night it single handedly implemented a feature after a grilling session, and came back with the red-yellow-green risk assessment points that I mostly saw with anthropic models. I had to check if I'm using the right model, but it was DS4Flash.

So maybe I was using it already?
