I don't get this at all. What does the little flashing light achieve? I find minor irritations like this very distracting so I'm not really sure what the theory is

So your car is already registered with your payment, which is what people are disagreeing with. The problem isn't the "app", it's the fact that you need to register with an additional payment processor rather than just

I really think HN rules should disallow titles like this. It tells me nothing about what the link is, the URL is even more confusing. I think for such meaningless titles that the poster should add a small description

On the flip side, imagine someone committed one or more crimes and were only discovered decades later. Does that mean their crimes should go unpunished. I'm not specifically arguing for or against, but I guess it's not so simple.

Or get her a pre-owned and/or lab-grown diamond which are insanely cheaper. While the cost of diamonds is pure marketing, I wouldn't want to pay thousands for something that is physically identical. If the fact it's been on

I think you overestimate how common common sense is And it's not a death wish. I think a lot of us realise that we probably don't offer a net positive to this earth, that our individual existence probably uses more resource than

It's one of those pieces of software that was clearly designed by programmers for programmers. It's not user friendly in the slightest, there's no onboarding process, and it changes so quickly that half of the information yo

You can, but there's not many tools that you can use to just throw everything at the code like with desktop software. Even then it's often very dependant on the MCU and compilers you're using

I don't want a yearly fee for a new version, I want to use the same version that I paid for. Especially when you're developing software for safety applications, it becomes important to maintain/archive the same tools/com

Most of my lint warnings aren't false positives though, they're potential issues. Most of my time sorting through lint warnings is addressing the warnings for potential issues. The potential for an issue may be legitimate, but tha

This is an interesting list, given that PC-lint moved to a subscription model. As more tools move to a subscription based model, I don't want to tie myself down to 5 subscriptions just to maintain some ancient code.

Given how much C is used in embedded environments, runtime checking is often not an option

If anything web dev is way worse than the POSIX standard as everything changes every 6-12 months. Hell, why do so many static pages even need javascript

I still maintain that Windows 2000 was the best version of Windows. It was lean enough that it ran on older hardware, used the more secure NT kernel, lacked the XP bloat, was user friendly for most users, and didn't include a bunch of

I always feel like the people who make these sort of comments have never actually read a medical journal. A huge amount of study does not lead to patentable medication, but is either performed by research groups, or is performed as part of

Better understanding of the disease and a more widely vaccinated populous. Flu is also a very nasty disease. I've only had it once in the last 10 years and my god I do not want it again.

Just ignore them. These nutjobs are made not believing in covid the entire personality so that they could feel smart, and now they have to cling to that belief instead of accepting reality

Exactly. Here in the UK I get paid a salary and so my tax is just automatically calculated and deducted from my pay. Then yearly my taxable benefits are calculated by payroll and deducted from next years taxes

I don't understand why so much of the static web is a mess of javascript anyway. So many pages can be served as static content that I don't understand why they need javascript at all Whatever happened to the interest in static sit

Yes totally with linux. I've been using Windows on my 1 year old laptop until recently because it didn't have support for the audio amp. Then when it was supported, you have to download and include a script to run as a service w
