It was not that bad. I remember when SP fixed a bunch of issues with bluetooth, and windows CD burning program was better than any of the Nero Burning ROMs, cause those became unusable overbloated.

I remember the times when Microsoft had a lot of problems 20 years ago because of Sasser and other viruses that were taking over Windows. They did not have any contenders. Yet they have stopped any software development for 9 months just to

Good take, and most of the data in the article is quite correct. The problem is a total mix up of cause and effect. The US has had a decent communication network since way back. We had telegraph, telephone and telex. Bell and AT&T and a

Sadly, but the whole buzz about social networks is built around the community. And any of federated networks require some technical knowledge that is over the head in 99% of regular users. I wish this could be a bit more user-friendly, like

There are magnitudes of mistakes. I can drop prod 4 times a day on a project that's being used by 4 old grannies to sync their excel file and get away with it. I can get scolded for 5 minutes of downtime at 6 am. There is a point of re

Yeah, so what exactly do you call entertainment? Is slapping "Made for AI" label on every device in the known universe entertaining?

I think that's an expected thing. G5 was the thing. And companies were buying G5 and other macs like that all the time, because you were able to actually extend it with video cards and some special equipment. But now we have M chips. Y

I'd notice one thing: I use LLMs to spellcheck and when I do, here is your barrage of em-dashes.

I mean, you do have a point, and I'll quite agree with it. The only way of monetizing your writing is to use Substack or Medium, or whatever. Yet your approach is appallingly low on the other side of the spectrum. I've been in IT

WHAT? The client size is 2 megabytes? It can fit onto two floppy drives! Man, this is something. It's even more 2002 vibes! And I haven't installed it yet. Bravo!

Ah, this gives me 2002 vibes where coolest websites started to produce native clients for their websites so their users could read and comment offline. This is sooo good.

I'm thoroughly perplexed as what is this doing on HN and how it connects to any Hacker News?

This is cool. Yet, there are levels of insanity and those depend on your inability to estimate things. When I'm launching a project it's easier for me to rent $250 worth of compute from AWS. When the project consumes $30k a month,

That proves only one thing. We just have nothing to do in our lives. The tenacity of government that invents useless laws directly proportional to nothingness to do that it provides to its citizens

Just like an idea of using an oil-powered carriage instead of a good'ol horsie was in 1910. Listen, I totally agree, the tech makes absolutely no sense. It does not. But the fact that someone is willing to spend money on figuring this

I mean, the idea kinda makes sense. But, first of all, do you really HAVE to make your admins to set this up? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/rooms/third... It requires Exchange re-configurin

So what's next? People will re-flash their printers with an open-source firmware that won't do the checks? Who's liable in this case?

It's all fine and dandy until you realize that economy pays a big buck for faster and more comfortable ways of transporting a body. (And it's been this way since time memorial). You either transport your body fast, or you are miss

I took a liberty in reviewing one of the recent submissions to HN. And it's just a bad name for Rust.

Gee, I'm sorry, but this is just over my head. It takes over 282 crates to build this 1000 lines of code. It takes 1.3 gigs of space to display a window with a game on one's screen. And the AI does not work at all since it just cr

You are stating exactly the problem. A well written scientific book would never leave a reader in a state of “maybe”. Also, if the numbers go down to 0.2% I can’t help but notice that this can’t be defined as a disorder. It is a statistical

How can one identify an illness where one can't even tell who and how often have said illness? In fact, there is a way of doing that. And we, as programmers, have access to those methods. It's called Numerical Analisys. At times i

I took the liberty of indulging in some reading. I must admit, it feels a bit strange. The truth is that I learned my first steps in programming by working through large, formidable books. In fact, my very first programming book was Assembl

This will be just another boost for de-googled phones, alternative platforms and potentially Mobile Linux. The only reason why google phones became so popular was the fact that they were much less restrictive than iPhones. Thus the platform

Oh, I will. I will. I'm quite amazed by the dedication of the team that supports the framework and how good of a care they have been taking about it. Funny enough, one of my first articles I've ever written on the internet was abo
