I think you're attaching "theory" to the word conspiracy here, whereas I wasn't going that far. :)

IIRC EVO only moved because they outgrew the space/slot they'd been working in. The other reply to you outlines Black Hat. I very much doubt there's any conspiracy here.

No, they're right. It's not a requirement to sling code to put your opinions out there about open source.

They're not talking about usability, they're talking about the technical underpinnings. ;P

It changes nothing unless you’re a web browser, in which case you have to apply for the entitlement.

I want to make a sign on the wall that denotes $x days since someone complained about Tokio + Reqwest being bloated and/or making their own design decisions. I also want to make a campaign to direct people to ureq first so we stop he

I'd wager it's just going to take time, but the EU did successfully hamper Apple here. Give 'em some credit.

Nobody wants to use GNUStep in 2024. Their UI framework is also rendering via the GPU, so it's more likely they'd wrap it in a GTK/Qt/whatever window and then just render accordingly. You don't need GNUStep for it s

Yeah, I’ll second your comment. Just went back to visit friends for a few weeks and was up down down the country from Tokyo to Naha, almost never needed cash. 10 years ago was a different story, maybe. Nowadays Japan’s pretty digital when i

Travelex at airports will also throw these at you. They’re amusing to have on hand.

I would classify that emotion as anger or frustration. Hatred is something deeper, and I don't think you can be there without deep understanding of what you're hating. But it's ultimately whatever.

by Klonoar 3y ago
You certainly can, though I submit that's a hollow emotion at best.

You can also sub in Lisp for the pre-Ruby-fanfare era of HN.

You can’t really hate something that you profess to not deeply understand.

Def not just on their end, your comment reads needlessly aggressive.

I theorize that it comes down to: newer stuff is better, but as a society we’ve somehow made everything trend towards being super impersonal, and thus the next gen is searching for that feeling.

Yeah... they're getting harder to find due to people catching on, but man they're good.

BMWs from 2000 - ~2013 were... problematic, but BMW has mostly solved all of those smaller issues over the years and I would argue that they're rock solid at this point. i.e, all to say: I never once needed to worry about replacing tho

My understanding is that Google just always did that, it wasn’t in anticipation of the changes here.

2016/2017 BMW 340i is the hidden answer, if you want something more modern and luxury. - Comes in (rear biased) AWD - Can be found in stickshift - Can get close to 30MPG in highway driving - Can disable most of the stuff if you’re will

Are you sure? I believe there was a big recall for at least one model of car during COVID due to the chip shortage + impending 3G shutdown.

Nobody has ever said they’d consider a Nissan Altima unless they had no other options.

You mean the company listed in TFA, that was formerly called TrueBill before Rocket bought them for $1B a few years back? ;P

…what? Your last sentence flies right in the face of every statistic around new business failure rates. You might get a nice side project going, but no sentence like that should imply it’s that simplified. And to be clear I support the idea
