I can assure you not even single people nor couples want doorless bathrooms.


Single people or couples don't want doorless bathrooms, but they will probably tolerate them if forced into a room with that setup. Other types of travelers might not be so open-minded, and that's the point that OP is arguing about. Provide the bare minimum tolerable experience to your target audience and punish the customers you don't want.


Couples that poop together stay together.


Can you show off your toilet fetish on a more appropriate forum please


Why? I'd prefer a doorless bathroom.

One of my bedrooms at home opens into an open concept bathroom. No doors, vaulted ceilings, open.

I really don't get this.

I don't want to feel claustrophobic.

Edit: Like these -

You have the choice to open the door if you wish. This choice has been removed from those who prefer privacy if the door doesn't exist.


From your link:

Making Privacy Work

Make sure to address the elephant in the room - privacy. Consider installing electrochromic glass panels that switch from clear to opaque. Or take inspiration from Japanese architecture with sliding wooden screens that double as art pieces.


Your sample link's examples seem conspicuously toilet-free to me.

But even without talking about toilets, I don't like airy/drafty feelings when I'm wet, so I'd hate most of those designs, myself.


I love pooping and having my dog visit. A little someone to talk to rather than scroll.


apparently not having doors prevents hemorrhoids.


So you can take a dump with some privacy, obviously.


There must be two types of people/couples.

Those that prefer privacy and those that don't care.


A door has two states to choose from, so having a door covers all use cases.


And a third type, people who have had children so have gone through the toddler stage where a toddler would literally chainsaw and burn down a locked door before they let you have 3 seconds of peace to take a shit.


That's actually a very valid point I hadn't taken into consideration.

If you're single or have a partner that you're comfortable with, open concept bathrooms feel luxurious. But if you need sanctity and salvation from the kids, I can get it.


The real issue is when they're old enough to reach the lock, but not old enough to trust not to destroy things or injure themselves if left unsupervised.


I would be surprised if private defecation is not a majority preference among couples.

Even if I'm alone in a hotel room, I'd prefer to contain the odor to the bathroom.


We tend to not care for showering/peeing, but pooping is something else...


I’ve actually ended otherwise decent relationships early because the other person was way too coy/upset with bodily functions like farting and pooping. If we’er sleeping together I expect us to be farting together. And if we are living together I expect us to be using the toilet in front of each other. Anything less is both inconvenient and reflective of deep personality conflicts that will never be resolved.


Sounds like there's going to be someone around who's bound to be the source of deep personality conflicts all right.


I have never in my life imagined that someone might break up with another person for the sole reason that the person refused to poop in front of them. That is honestly wild to me, but I appreciate your perspective, thanks for sharing.


Been married twenty years and haven't seen my wife poop yet. Not really on my list.


Similarly, married ten years and my wife and I have never seen each other use the bathroom. And barring dire emergencies I can't actually envision, we never will.


It's stories like these (and poor parenting I guess) that causes things like my cousin standing up to wipe for close to 30 years until his gf filled him in one day.


My college roommate told me I was doing it wrong by not standing up to wipe. I just rolled my eyes, that guy had a lot of weird things going on.


I don't want a room to smell literally like shit.


You live alone?


No. I think some couples are just more private than others.


I don't think there are any couples who prefer the bedroom to smell like the toilet.


If you flush the toilet at precisely the moment after you take a shit, the vacuum force of the toilet venting down the waste line will pretty much keep that from happening. That's basically prison rules.


Where is this magical prison where nobody farts?


They flush the toilet every time they fart, of course.


That is called a courtesy flush and it does happen.


The article itself even shows just how confusing it is:

> Apple TV is available on the Apple TV app in over 100 countries and regions, on over 1 billion screens, including iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Vision Pro ...

How did anyone think "this is fine" in a proofread here when coming up with this rebranding?


It could always be worse... for example Microsoft recently renamed their remote desktop app to just "Windows App" https://adoption.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-app/

But then in some specific cases, that app can't be used, and you end up with gibberish like this documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-app/overview#what-...


//Apple TV is available on the Apple TV app

What's confusing about this?

Netflix is available on Netflix App. HBO is available on HBO app. Normal people don't care.

It's perfectly normal for Netflix the company to run Netflix the service on Netflix the app on Netflix device if they release one. It's not confusing at all. What would be confusing is if they all had different names.


Not sure if you’re cutting my quote in bad faith to fit your rebuttal, or just didn’t read it fully. How is this not confusing?

> Apple TV is available on the Apple TV app … on … Apple TV …

Watch Apple TV in Apple TV on Apple TV.

Why choose Netflix as your example as well when both Google and Amazon already have streaming services that don’t have an identically named hardware device. Do you honestly think if Netflix put out a device they would name it Netflix.


The only time I can see this being confusing is when referring to the Apple TV box by the same name, and even that can usually be figured out by context.


The confusing part is that Apple TV is available on screens which may or may not be Apple TV.


Except you'd never say that. You'd say "The Netflix app is available on [...]"

Because the app is the service. Which isn't the case with Apple TV hence the potential confusion.


If they rebrand the device to iTV it’ll make more sense if they make all non computing devices use ‘iDevice’ and Mac for computing, Apple for services

> like a "keep my recurring alarm on, but skip it tomorrow" button (useful for when you don't want to wake up early on labor day)

If you use the Sleep feature, instead of a plain alarm for an “alarm clock,” it has had this feature for quite a few years now. Any modification made to Sleep, which is manageable from within the same Alarm app, prompts to ask if you’d like to change your entire sleep schedule or just apply the modification (shut off, or reschedule) to the next one up.


Ah, yes. The sleep alarm, as in “alert me with a loud noise if I should be asleep”.

There was a bug a week or so ago, where if you set a wind down schedule, and then updated iOS, it enabled itself.

Got woken up hours early, despite never using that feature.


While possibly being strange defaults, both of those are options. Remove the file summary and directory structure, both featured on the UI, and on the CLI tool, and voila, it's in your "better" state. There are also additional compression options beyond those two tweaks.


I can't tell if this is satire or a hidden advertisement for various tui browsers? A project that is a "popular tui browser" (for the literally dozens of people that use tui browsers?) does not have ownership claim to the name of a big cat genus which has 4k+ other results on GitHub with the same name.


Lynx pre-dates Mosaic... "As of 2025, it is the oldest web browser still being maintained"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_(web_browser)


It's not even the only TUI browser pronounced that way. See: links

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Links_(web_browser)


Lynx is a well-known project which has been around for far longer than Github even existed - since 1992, in fact - which is in any case irrelevant, since it's not developed on GitHub: the commits for ThomasDickey/lynx-snapshots are snapshots of the code from the website proper.


Removed the star count as any sort of “evidence” to popularity - the point still stands though. It feels absurd to claim a name being “reused,” or implied stolen, when the name is a generic animal name.


Bikeshedding about names, article titles and tangential annoyances is HN’s favorite pastime, and an easy way to get karma. As old as the hills.


I believe it's spelled as "pastime" :)


^art


i am not affiliated with any of the projects, its just what i use.


Did the title change since you asked, or what is claiming that they aren't? I don't see anything on the title, the README, or the website making the claim you want defended. It just says "a" truly independent web browser, that doesn't seemingly claim exclusivity to that status.


The caption on the graph explains.

> including with the open-source Agentless scaffold (39%) and an internal tools scaffold (61%), see our system card .

I have no idea what an "internal tools scaffold" is but the graph on the card that they link directly to specifies "o3-mini (tools)" where the blog post is talking about others.


I'm guessing an "internal tools scaffold" is something like Goose: https://github.com/block/goose

Instead of just generating a patch (copilot style), it generates the patch, applies the patch, runs the code, and then iterates based on the execution output.


This video goes over how it’s not really that simple. Ultimately your body will cancel that deficit out https://youtu.be/vSSkDos2hzo


Agreed that life is not that simple as a math equation, but I think baselines apply, e.g. if you are sedentary, adding 150-180 mins of moderate exercise will definitely improve your health and life.

if you are already meeting that baseline, and still have issues, then you should look at tweaking other variables in the equation, whether diet, stress, etc.

What I find worrying is the cherry picking some people do, e.g. "aha your body will get used to exercise, so I might as well not bother", then wonder why at their next visit to the doctor, they are now told to go on a steady diet of statins etc.


The only thing being claimed is that exercise doesn't significantly help with long term weight loss.

That doesn't mean exercise isn't extremely important for your health. It is, in a myriad ways. Even the mechanisms that make it not help with weight loss are some of the reasons why it is so healthy - it's taking away calories from metabolic processes that are more harmful than helpful.


Isn’t that equivalent to saying “just use NGINX”? Caddy isn’t a library you use in your Go server code, it’s a separate reverse proxy, isn’t it? They solve separate things.


One could:

import "github.com/mholt/caddy"

https://medium.com/backendarmy/embedding-a-web-server-in-go-...

Not sure if it's still the case.


One manufacturer at least has it figured out. These are what I’ve been getting in the US for a while now from places like Sprouts (Fresh Thyme), and Whole Foods. Even using a fork like others mention, it’s still just easier with this jar.
