Who in their right mind is going to blindly take the code output by a large language model and toss it on a cruise missile? Sleeper agents are trivially circumvented by even a modicum of human oversight.
Good question! We just shipped GitHub Discussions to millions of developers and we can learn whether people use and like the product by looking at whether people are creating discussions, customizing categories, and answering questions.
The argument that you need to follow users around every step of the way to build great products is simply untrue.
Creator of CloudApp here (no longer involved). This is really neat, thanks for sharing! You could potentially monitor ~/Desktop on OS X and identify screenshots with:
mdls 'Screen Shot 2016-10-24 at 4.14.54 PM.png' | grep IsScreenCapture
That would match the original behavior even closer.
That may be the case, but there's many contexts where you'd use this button where you can't alter the page's CSS. Perhaps the prime example being GitHub READMEs.
I'm not on a retina display but that doesn't look as nice. The letters are so thin they start to disappear even before using the light-purple-on-dark-purple font.
Judging by my windows machine and using just my eyes, yes, it's a little thinner, and no, there's no problem reading it. The faded-grey-ness of the words "to Heroku" is a much bigger legibility problem than the minor change in font weight.
Hacker News' design has a lot of personality and I would never recommend redesigning it (for the same reason I enjoy Craigslist's "design") but making it resolution independent and maybe even responsive sounds like a great idea.
Personally I prefer a slightly larger serif font when reading comments on here which is why I wrote a quick dotjs [1] script that now also replaces the upvote arrow GIF:
