Just any kind of contrast between foreground and background would help.

They are, but it's nuanced. If you have one app with a single window, it will always be selectable via Cmd+Tab, even if it's full-screened. If you have an app with multiple windows, one of which is full-screened, and you select a non-full-screened window from that same app, you won't be able to return to the full-screened window using Cmd+Tab. Which kinda makes sense, since Cmd+Tab cycles apps, not windows.

> cmd+tab was a bit too slow

Using that app, if I cmd+tab from one space to another, will I see 0 (and I mean zero) animation whatsoever? The exact same behaviour as if I were switching between two apps on the same space? Because that's what I need to go anywhere near Spaces, and that's what seems impossible.

> I only open one app per desktop

So what benefit do you get from multiple desktops?

> and hence never see it again

This sounds like it would be a better implementation than 99.9% of the dickovers I encounter. Almost always, I dismiss them, then see them again in future. Sometimes with what feels like every site visit.

You can also just sort by "new" i.e. chronologically.

I agree that games are excellent value, particularly compared to the 90s when they cost a LOT more than they do today. However, I think the point is a wider one: even if games were priced more 'fairly', should you be able to buy a game and then have, effectively, perpetual ownership of it?

I'm very confident that you could do the same in 2k.

How does it break for you? Seems OK to me on android — in fact, I already had it at 110%. Reminded me to check my desktop settings which have HN fixed at 125%. I cannot believe that, in 2026, the default font size is set at 12px — is anyone actually reading it at that size?!

I find that it's typically better than Google search has been for a while, but not better than it's ever been.

Two emdash phrases in 4 paragraphs is hardly excessive.

Maybe it's referring to the CLI, since you could pipe to/from it? There's an example relating to curl: https://slumber.lucaspickering.me/user_guide/cli/subcommands...

They weren't telling the joke, they were using it as a reference point. They also didn't explain it, they just gave the punchline without any setup.

FYI, this doesn't appear to work on macOS, unless I'm lucky enough that Chrome has never installed anything related to this on my machine. I don't even have a ~/.config/google-chrome directory; it's possible Google is using some Apple-alternative to that standard.

Everyone revisits or reloads a website. Not everyone uses the features you refer to, and I would guess it's a minority that does.

Hidden is a pretty reasonable synonym for "not visible".

Modern games include assets with very large file sizes that operating systems do not.

Are we talking about the app at reclaim.ai ? It calls itself the "#1 AI calendar app for work." Like many of these tools, it may be AI in hype only, but I'm not sure exactly where we'd draw the line otherwise.

Game consoles are still pretty popular, I don't think people are going to forget what real buttons are for at least another couple of generations.
