And how do firefighters open these arkward doors without a proper door handle? All cars without a sturdy door handle seem like a death trap to me. I would never buy a car that sacrifices that aspect for a little improvement in aerodynamics,

This nonsense makes me want an explicit downvote. One day the HN crowd is pushing what a joke proof of stake is -- really? Who guessed so. The next day the newest newest crypto poop gets served on golden platters.

Yeah: Use even more complexity to build software. How about taming software? ( duckandcover )

https://calpaterson.com/mozilla.html I would bet that a lot quackery will be sponsored before the core product gets its longtime bugs fixed.

Lightweight? Recommendations with react components?... Static templates would be lightweight. Esp. for a personal website, which rarely is more than a blog + a few static pages.

I was able to use LTSB/LTSC legally for years: forget it. A lot of stuff won't run anymore. Even third-party software (e.g. nextcloud client).

Yeah, and I never get asked by US companies to prove my identity with my credit card for adult content (which includes music videos from Laibach?!?!)... yawn ... typical US hysteria about IDs, but commercial exploitation is all fine and d

They payback failing _graduates_. While this seems fine and dandy: how many fail before graduation? -- just call it "gaming the onus".

Wow. More than most rapists, more than any of the corporate tax evaders he betrayed. Not a fan, but a 7M$ total is orders of magnitude less than the U.S. would gain per day! by having a proper tax system? IMO news like these have just one

Good observations. Question: isn't all the bureaucracy part of the business? I mean, in the real world you cannot ignore authorization, and all the friction in processes either. Isn't it naive to assume software is able to fully m

At that level of pay you stop caring for anything making sense? Just saying. Apart from drug addicts doing blunt cybercrimes, I find the most creapy things are done by devs that got used to a big paycheck -- additionally, sometimes got f k

Sad, but sooooo true. That gibberish produced by the framework du jour, most of the time is creapily bloated, sometimes even shockingly redundant (read: you could strip 50% to 75% without loosing any functionality). Modern web: bloat websit

Oh yeah. Similar laughter: the same company that denied me SEPA payment and insisted on payment in advance due to lacking creditworthiness, tried to hire me as an administrator with 60k€+11k€ bonuses a week later.

Nope. Most of the construction attempts of the last two decades failed. We need coal replacements before 2032. Even if you try to build nuclear plants _on time_, that will fail. So it cannot be _the_ solution -- no matter your stance on n

For years there was nothing else as dependable as cdrecord for me -- a true gift from a gifted. Sad news.

I suggest "Shut the fuck up" and "Alpaca": first one speaks for itself and the second one speaks for the chinese majority of the earth's population -- see homophone: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

Uff facepalm . The post is something every grown up should have figured out by himself very early. I have friends from nearly all -- sure, there are limits -- of the political spectrum exactly because of that. But nice somebody found it wo

Really, I thought the original source's posting on April 1st + "Xinuos" (Unix backwards + OS) is an obvious joke!?

That's why I hate forums without a proper E-mail gateway -- for me plain text E-Mail is the most essential API between humans. My mail client is the main reason and I really hate everyone changing something that disables using either m
