New comment by zacman85 in "Patrick Stewart has died"

I genuinely wish Apple could figure out a way to respectfully license and preserve his voice to make it the defacto voice of Siri so that my kids would grow up in a world where the intelligent, compassionate voice of Patrick Stewart would be actively associated with seeking, reaching, and exploring knowledge. I know everything nowadays is painfully, annoyingly AI slopped, but I mean this as a long-standing way to preserve his legacy and celebrate what he meant to all of us. That's why it could only be a steward like Apple and not some random-co.ai.

zacman85 — Tue, 21 Sep 2021 17:56:58 +0000

Having related emails batched and then providing easy ways to pin, snooze or mark done is so useful. Clicking the "sweep" button (Mark All As Read) after prioritizing the email you care about is such a satisfying feeling. I'm not quite at inbox zero yet, but definitely feel like it is now actually possible with a bit more work on my end.

Hi everyone, Chris, the founder of imgix here. We are just beginning to talk about what we are going to be rolling out over the next few months, so I wrote this piece about how and why we are moving in the directions we are moving, with a focus on explaining things from the developer perspective. There will be plenty more to follow so stay tuned. For the moment, I am happy to fill in any details that I can.

New comment by zacman85 in "Ask HN: Which tool do you use to create beautiful diagrams?"

zacman85 — Sun, 30 Dec 2018 17:22:59 +0000

Keynote is actually a surprisingly good tool for building diagrams once you learn the interface and features. I use it for all of our architecture diagrams and for generating printable posters of such to hang in our office. I have tried nearly everything else, but unless you need semantics native to your diagram, Keynote is (oddly, I know) the best I have found.
