Wasn’t that the promise of crypto currency? To have programmable, digital money?

Interesting. I would not think of age when someone requests “cleaner and more polished”. My mind translates that to “nicer UI”

Your eyes are still looking at an object (roughly?) 10cm away from your face: the screens. Your eyes are not adjusting focus. Any focus (or blur) you see in VR is simulated depth.

So yes, the issue is indeed the distance where your eyes are focussing, caused by the fact that they're constantly focussing on something very close to your face.

My optician told me its like stretching your arm while holding something heavy. At first that's no problem. But eventually your muscles will start burning and you can't hold it and even when you relax your arm it still hurts if you held it for too long.

As far as I'm aware there are no VR headsets yet that adjust the live generated depth vision based on the diaphragm of your eyes. That would be wild.

Why. This is again thinking from solely a profit perspective and revenue for shareholders. Users don’t want extra half-assed crap just because the company can scrape a little more revenue this way.

They do one thing great apparently. I know many people that cannot be convinced to switch away from Dropbox.

A happy company culture sounds like an excellent result from a great leader.

If stock owners want more ROI come do the work instead of setting demands. (i know that’s unfortunately not how the world works).

Exactly. Looking at it, it could be any generic unknown Chinese EV brand.

So you’re telling me I should sand my carbon fiber wing foil mast and wing with 1000-1500 grid sand paper for better gliding results?

I’m fairly new to the sport and never heard of this yet.

biinjo — Wed, 20 May 2026 03:32:12 +0000

This is the main reason I’m not using Gemini for work. Google won’t let me pay for it. I pay for just about every AI service under the sun but Google needs to refuse my card, account, location or a combination of these.

But they happily take my money for a couple of Workspce accounts.

Im old enough to remember the horrors of pop3 and backing up Outlook pst files.

No sir. I’m very happy with my email cloud service.

I don’t get it. How is this different from using the Claude iOS (and I assume Android) native app and use their “Code” option. It fires up a Claude Code session in the cloud and you can vibe code anything while on the toilet.

Show HN: SpreadPaper – span a single wallpaper across multiple macOS monitors

biinjo — Wed, 26 Nov 2025 04:17:06 +0000

Hi HN, I built an open-source macOS utility called SpreadPaper that lets you take one high-resolution image and spread it seamlessly across all your connected monitors.

I personally use multiple monitors for design and coding, and I got tired of wallpapers that either tile awkwardly or get cropped badly. SpreadPaper is my attempt at a minimal, no-bloat solution that just works. If you also care about multi-monitor aesthetics, I hope you’ll find it useful.

Give it a star on GitHub if you like it and feel free to leave your feature requests/feedback.

Genuine question: how would they know if it has always been a certain way?

If they _lost_ their sense of smell, they had something to compare it with.

Turnstile is back up (for now). Go refresh. I just managed to make an API key and turn off proxied DNS.

Lol. I mean I love Tailwind but it seems like the least trivial site/service to be down right now haha.

Same here. We’re using OhDear. The status page is available but I can’t post an incident because their service is also behind Cloudflare.

Im finalizing the Google Calendar integration for Ganttify. https://gantt-chart.com

It will allow users to fully manage their calendar in a Gantt chart. Complete with customizations like dependencies between events, custom colors for time blocks and custom icons for single-day events (“milestone”-like).

Ganttify is a Gantt chart add-on for web applications or services that can benefit from a Gantt view. My goal is to expand the number of integrations for Ganttify and release a new integration every month or so. If any of you have an interesting (niche or non-niche) idea to integrate Ganttify with feel free to contact me.

That reasoning does not make any sense. I spend $3-4k on a MBP and run it till it fall apart, usually 5-7 years later.

Don’t feed the trolls. This was your idea and you made something that works. Who cares if its (partially) done by AI. Whomever is taking offense by people using AI for coding, is just having a hard time adapting to the current state of affairs.

It’s here, it’s happening. Try the project, if you like it thats great, if you don’t then move on.

And if you don’t intent to try it for whatever reason that’s fine as well but don’t be salty to the OP for sharing their passion project.
