Lots of fishhooks in there, so lets see how this goes. (some are pretty obscure)

Ok, here's your tablet!

I have a vague recollection that HN also doesn't use a database, it serializes the data structures or something.

> A limitation, but also an engineering decision that had a certain brutal elegance: you get one alphabet at a time, comrade, and you will type in capitals.

Same decision with the capitalist American Apple II, only upper case letters unless you added some additional board.

iOS fills out these forms, puts the random password in icloud keychain, and then auths with faceid or etc. Obviously doesn't help OS's saas. But tons better than using Buster123 on every website.

I’m hoping with the advent of Apple Passwords that some of this password saving magic happens for more of her websites as well. Of course she has a tendency to turn off most of these helpful things after getting scared by videos on Facebook.

Reminds me when I had the high-end 2016 fruittruck with the sticky keyboard. All sorts of bizarre shit happens when you can't type your password.

Yeah, there were a bunch of floppy games which only ran on an original Mac or maybe a Plus. No go with even my Mac SE.

Completely unnecessary retort. At no point did anyone in this thread state that sorting legos was a major problem of society.

Rather, the GP merely implied that some parents would love to have a robot to sort their kids legos, and that (ironically) even that unimportant "need" is more important than replacing git.

Maybe you're not a parent. To me, this sounds like arguing against the existence of the dishwasher by saying "of all the major problems of society, washing dishes by hand isn't one."

What a ridiculous statement from an obviously over-privleged phony. You are actually doubling-down on being completely isolated.

Kids face a lot of new problems these days. They also face some old one, like sorting their legos.

Sometimes you put the kids to bed before they've cleaned up the legos, because it's getting late.

Then you step on a lego.

Replacing git is?

Successfully would be big business, because everyone and everyone and the F1000 uses git. Or at least it could more of a feature than a product, and gets merged into some other VC company, or some Jira feature or etc.

Who really wants cheap lego vacuums? Basement-dwellers who are getting yelled at by their mom? Not a good market.

Curious if you mean metal detecting. Either way, sounds like a great location!

I have one yes but I rarely take it given the overwhelming amounts of false signals from iron, ironstone, and slag. There are so many surface finds with each tide change that the added human effort of swinging and digging quickly fades.

Looks like it, but isn't this site famous for being a "classic" storefront?

Some CMSs would auto-generate sprites. If you are showing most of them, it's still a positive, I'd assume. And, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
