I regularly use may in a way that doesn’t mean “will”. Sorry that you had a bad experience or whatever.

I feel like you’re missing the point on purpose? Cobalt is asserting that it’s doing good based on the shadier behaviour of its competitors. But can you justify Cobalt in isolation any more than you can justify whoever was scraping it?

I’m genuinely not sure how to say this without a little bit of snark, but do you…know how fashion works?

So, “it was a shit show” was “the recruiter ghosted me”?

What!? Changing implementation details is not “abusing trust”. Where would you even draw the line with this attitude!? Should I be informing my customers whenever I update the version of left-pad I have installed!?

The no-Easter-egg attitude ‘won out’c sure. There’s not much else you can conclude from that, though. Not even that it’s the popular opinion.

Yawn. I’m all but certain that all the environments in these “print debugging fail” stories have debuggers. The fact that generation after generation of programmers fall into print debugging, despite there being “no reason” to do it in many

And how do the reviewers find out about products? Please give these things more than a second of thought before saying them.

This is hilarious. You’re using Y Combinator’s advertising and propaganda board as we speak.

Yeah, without having the foresight to know that Hacker News would come after them with very disingenuous interpretations of what they’ve shared, because HN commenters are so used to spending all their days having internet arguments that the

Don’t worry. Most people here that “run their own business” are in VC-funded startup la la land anyway. It says very very very little about knowing how to actually productively steer a group of people.

That’s just, like, your opinion, mahn. I don’t recall anyone else saying that those things were OK, or that they were comparable, which they aren’t? Your MO seems to be to just make your comment so high-effort to reply to that nobody will b

Oh be quiet. That’s a ludicrously uncharitable interpretation of what they were saying, all in service of you…getting to be…snarky?

No it doesn’t. It’s a faulty analogy. I’m pretty sure that burglars don’t give you a choice. You choose to use a social network.

This attitude always utterly frustrates me. I simply don’t understand it. Is your view that a company’s worth should be determined by how quickly it copies any random feature introduced by a ‘competitor’? Do you understand that if every pe

You’re conflating power and proper practice. “Yeah, well, they’re allowed to” is a comment that’s never, ever worth making, because EVERYONE already knows it. The need to always kick up a fuss about “doing whatever I want in my land” always

Nobody said that this happened? The commenter is pointing out the faulty absolutist suggestion of the clickbait title.

This sort of tribalism is utterly insufferable. “The good decisions? They were us! And the bad ones? They were made by those idiots over there!”

Yup. Precisely. A lot of election ‘security’ relies on this premise.

Yeah. Every single time.

“Do you have any empirical evidence…” Ask yourself, “how easy would it be to test this myself?” Now ask yourself, “how hard would it be for someone else to prove this and give me something that convinces me?” Even people working in academia

If someone I employed said that something “is a full-time job because I need to keep myself familiar”, I’d really have to hold in my laugh of disbelief, to say the least. You’ve taken the “people should pay ongoing for ongoing work” discou

That wouldn’t be worthy of the front page of HN. “I don’t like the current tradeoffs that laptop manufacturers make” has been talked through to absolute death. It’s the opposite of interesting.

Love myself some cybernetics! All engineers are doing themselves a disservice by sitting here writing smooth-brained rants about “dumb MBAs making my job hard” instead of reading up on this field and understanding the true complexities that

Would you mind amending your comment to refer to the part of OP’s comment that you were actually referring to? Because I can’t for the life of me work out how what you’ve said remotely refutes anything they said. Classic whatbaoutism, which

You’re a broken clock that happens to be right. This isn’t “superfans protecting them”-Apple, it’s “lawyers protecting them”-Apple. Don’t conflate whatever leftover feelings you have about 2000s OS flame wars with whatever inane shit Apple
