How exactly does this help document things? Is this not just a static-site generator?

Jokes on them, I have Vimium (vim plugin for browsers) and used G (Shift + g) to skip scrolling.
Or you could use the browser/windows(?) shortcut Ctrl+Home/Ctrl+End, or Ctrl+Up/Ctrl+Down. OR just use the 'take the elevator' link on the page itself.
So change the website theme to light mode? I use dark mode, and am happy when websites are served in dark mode (and I think the majority are this way). I think you're likely in the minority, and the easy fix is just to switch the websites you use to light mode.
> the easy fix is just to switch the websites you use to light mode.
The trouble is that `prefers-color-scheme` is set at browser or system level. In order for a website to use a different colour-scheme, then they need to add functionality with Javascript in order to be able to load different styling at user request.
I wish there were some URL-based rules you could set in the browser settings (I expect there are addons to do this, haven't looked though!).
_jstreet commented on Folding bicycle small enough to fit in hand luggage kwigglebike.com/en_US/... · Posted by u/bwindels
A discussion about folding bikes would not be complete without mentioning Helix. Helix folds almost as small as a Brompton but has 24” wheels and standard bicycle components such as disc brakes, Shimano/SRAM drivetrain etc.
Also the fold is the most compact possible, even more compact than Brompton in terms of maximizing the use of space. It also fits in a standard airline luggage without any disassembly which few other folding bikes can claim.
The frame is full titanium including the locking mechanisms. It’s made in Canada and is the lowest cost complete titanium bike on the market, folding or not.
Full disclosure, I’m the owner/founder of Helix. Happy to answer any questions related to it or folding bikes in general.
> is the lowest cost complete titanium bike on the market, folding or not.
Do you have sources to back that up?
In the UK, the price on your website lists it as £2,025 (or £3,003 for the higher-end model). I can get a PlanetX titanium gravel bike for £1,799 - granted it's not folding, but you specified "folding or not"!

One of the better ways of preventing the theft of a bike in a city (aside from bringing it indoors), is to use an old, junky, beater bike. The Yerka’s unique design is an absolute thief-magnet that’s begging to be stolen.
You're basically saying "don't own something nice if you don't want it stolen".
More needs to be done to tackle bike theft. Be that education, physical deterrants (cameras, good quality bike lockup locations, etc).
I've had a bike stolen, and the police can do nothing. A bicycle is small, easy to disassemble, relatively low-value, and they are untraceable items.
A car is higher-value, but more easily traced than a bike - due to a large number of factors; size, colour, shape, insurance/legal documents to prove ownership, ANPR cameras, etc.

IANAL, but it sounds questionable around anti-trust laws. Certainly not the first time Microsoft have run into problems with their browsers[^1].

I've been looking for this for some time. It's really useful to be able to easily find out which streaming service a film/TV-show is available on (or not on!).
Are you making any profit off of this, or is there any way to donate/contribute towards the upkeep of the project?
_jstreet commented on Ask HN: Why are there so few single-letter command line utilities / tools? · Posted by u/booboofixer
This one always bothered me a little, pedantically. mv should, well, physically move things. It does when you cross partition or disk boundaries, of course. But doesn't when using it like a rename. I get the point, it just feels strange.
The logic alternative would be 'rename', so... 'rn'?
The issue there is that's dangerously close to 'rm'! I'll stick to 'mv' thanks.

This feels like one of those browser addons/scripts that replaces words,e.g
"being vaccinated" -> "watched the 1984 Ghostbusters" "unvaccinated" -> "2021 Ghostbusters movie"
_jstreet commented on Ask HN: What are the best-designed things you've ever used? · Posted by u/whitepoplar
I find it interesting that most of the comments are about physical products.
The 'best design' is often something that's so frictionless and easy to use that it's invisible in day-to-day use. Everyday infrastructure like steps are something that's noticeable when they're off (e.g. spaced too far apart, or too steep); most are designed well.
It's easy to find things that are designed poorly. But much less tangible to find a 'best designed' item.
