This is defeatism. Reject unacceptable PRs, full stop. It's on the author to work to break them up.

In the Trump administration, any traditional qualifications for a job are disqualifiers. All that matters is willing to do what you're told and never question anything, publically or in private. What does RFK Jr. know about medicine?

You can comply with the law without banners and dark pattern defaults. These businesses are maliciously complying by making things more obnoxious and painful than they need to be. A comparison would be a store who was angry the law says yo

The EU doesn't require banners. Companies could stop selling and storing your data. They could only use cookies when absolutely essential. They could use lots of kinds of UX. This is the equivalent of businesses who put a big visible

No, I mean that you give a name to a cell of "Price" or "ExchangeRate" and then you write formulas as =Price*ExchangeRate rather than =A13*C8

False dichotomy, there's no reason not to have controls on both. Given the choice between them having access to guns and nuclear waste my answer is also "neither".

> They force name and number everything which is exactly like using single letter variables, they are only allowed for simple things. This isn't true, named ranges have existed for longer than many (most?) HN readers have been alive

This is a site run by a venture capital firm, private equity is far closer to the target audience for HN than file formats.

I don't know why the teetotaler community feels the need to comment in any discussion on the internet where alcohol comes up. You don't have to say anything. There are many risks in life. Most of us make tradeoffs for things which

"AI Writing Detectors" are absolutely full of false positives, as anyone working in education or related fields can attest.

The target market for this camera does not care about specs. They're not the point. Anyone who goes away from the page because it doesn't list a certain number was never going to buy one of these.

Solar is profitable to install at both industrial and home scale in most areas. You're moving the goalposts.

Who's going to buy the results of that extra output while most people are laid off? Where is the growth going to actually come from? Even before LLMs, the cost of living and finding a job that left any disposal income were major socie

Specs aren't important to what this is. Megapixels and burst speed matter less than actually having a camera that's with you. There's a big community intentionally stepping back from technology and focusing on the experienc

Salt isn't conducive to bacteria.

Salt isn't conducive to things growing - or composting. High salt levels kill bacteria and hurt plants. Fish sauce is very high in salt.

> It looks absolutely insane to me, but some people seem to defend it. Before that policy, you had a bunch of items listed for $1 + $60 "shipping" to dodge fees. I'll take the current structure over that.

Kegerators are easy and quite affordable to build. I absolutely have friends who stopped home brewing because they realized that having a tap of readily available beer in their house wasn't a good idea.

I ran a Synology DS418play for 8-9 years. It got OS and security updates throughout that time. I recently replaced it with a TrueNAS setup because I needed a dramatic capacity increase, but otherwise it would still be supported.

The bigger problem is convincing them to care. Botnets are abstract - where's the pain to them? Ad farms? That's "just hurting big corporations". Remember, a significant portion of the population got angry (often viole

"read the author's mind" is a puzzle type closely related to, and in practice often overlapping with brute force. If the author has a solution in mind but it is not properly hinted, for most players brute force is the only op

I disagree. I write and play in long-form puzzle competitions, so for many people I know attention span isn't the issue. What is the issue is that writing fun puzzles is a skill. A totally different skill from designing or implementin

There are many image editors. The primary appeal of something like Lightroom is image editing workflow - library management and editing combined. Being able to organize and move around your library is a core feature. My images are also

by Arainach 2mo ago
That's not library management, and it's not a replacement for Lightroom/C1. "If you give up on these features, it's a replacement" doesn't make it a replacement.

That's less than €1/hour for how much time I've spent using Capture One. Good, ergonomic, efficient tools are worth their weight in gold. C1 is one of them. Importing/triage, editing, color profiles, tethered shooting

Anyone who says "reduce bureaucracy by 90%" is on a culture war fever trip and doesn't actually care about efficient spending either.

Most people prefer to work with humans, not robots. Common experiences and getting to know people are a huge part of that. Sharing stories and getting to know people humanizes them. It's much easier to hate "that team in anoth
