Agreed. The tiny amount of revenue from college hockey and baseball is insignificant compared to the cost of opperation - especially with how far teams often need to travel now thanks to conference realignments.

This is why we need to unify on protocols, not platforms.

I have a hard time reading the text in a lot of their examples. The artist name "Nao" on the music player. The zoom level "1x" on the camera. The tab "Library" on the gallery. And even the URL "floralarran

I don't think it died over the last few years. I think it's been dead for decades. Most Americans only seem to be anti-authoritarian when the authority is part of the opposing political party. This is nothing new. What is new is

So long as you abandon the concept of windows and run your text editor in full screen mode. Good luck with side-by-side diffs.

Want a compiler? I hope you like GNAT. Want an IDE? I hope you like GNAT Pro Studio. Want a static analysis tool? I hope you like CodePeer. Want to do unit testing? I hope you like Rapita.

It has more to do with tooling than programmers. C++ is used everywhere so there are many commercial tools to support it. Not so much for Ada. Ada's developmemt tools are fewer, less featued, and more costly due to low demand.

I think the AI job extermination narrative has so much traction right now because it's a convenient cover story for layoffs. Every tech CEO is talking about how they're replacing jobs with AI but I don't see stories on HN abo

In my experience some of the hardest parts of software development is figuring out exactly what the stakeholder actually needs. One of the talents a developer needs is the ability to pry for that information. Chatbots simply don't do t

WoW and FFXIV would fall into the author's "live service" category.

This is simply wrong. Obscure and commercially unsuccessful games still work today, although it might be difficult to find the hardware needed to run them. Even the successful games of today are likely to die eventually. Ubisoft's The

If you're an EU citizen and care about video game preservation, I highly suggest joining the European Union Citizen's Initiative in this link. Even if you don't care about video games, it could end up having pro-consumer rami

It's hard to argue it's even a subsystem anymore. More like "Integrated Linux VM for Windows".

IMO "judgement" of a person carries a sense of finality and should be separated from one's "expectation" of a person. I think it's okay to let your observations of someone guide your expectations of them so lon

I think most gamers use YouTubers and Twitch streamers as tastemakers rather than reviewers. If your favorite personalities are having fun and it looks like you'd have fun too, then you don't need a review.

This is definitely true. I was on some for a little bit and it absolutely killed my taste for beer. Luckily I'm not dependent on alcohol so that wasn't a problem. But now that you mention it I wonder how effective it would be at h

I don't want an AI to write my code. Coding is one of the only things I enjoy about my job and I barely get to spend any time doing it right now.

By that argument, it sounds like schools in Finland have zero authority. How does punishment work? What's stopping a kid from going anywhere they want at any time or doing litterally anything that isn't outright illegal? If Finnis

Counter point: Materals which are needed/useful for education should be provided by the school and used at the teacher's discretion under their supervision. A personal smartphone shouldn't have any place in classroom activiti

I really hope their implementation on mobile is better than Chrome's. I prefer no tab groups on mobile over what Chrome did.

Probably because it's just not as impactful as hidden tariff costs would be. Sales tax is relatively small and consistent. Depending on the product a tariff could be negligable or it could double the sticker price and the customer woul

There has been a lot of talk about the dangers of microplastics recently. Maybe an unintentional benefit of the trade war is that by cutting off our access to cheap plastics, we cut back a little on microplastics and plastic waste.

Crazy idea: Decentralize the CVE across many nations so that no single organization has the power to eliminate it. Even if the US doesn't play ball, it's a public database right? Is there anything stopping the UN, EU, UK, Australi
