But browsing the web for it is just not the same. You need a fast internet connection. And a fast computer. Even your older iPhone probably can’t handle the online catalog anymore. After a few pages, you just give up. But with a paper catal

>’show the world the superiority of capitalism’ The funny thing is is that the federal government pumped billions of dollars into the Gemini and Apollo programs. This isn’t capitalism. It’s socialism for the wealthy.

Ugh. Powershell takes several seconds to load. Sometimes 5 to 10 seconds to load, which is forever, if you just want to run a simple command.

He said he had originally wanted to implement Scheme as the scripting language. But was over-ruled by his managers, and forced to make it look like Java. I wonder how things would’ve turned out differently, had he implemented Scheme instea

This was a pretty good interview. Really wish he didn’t create the === implicit equivalence function. And made JavaScript stricter from the beginning.

Perhaps the virus was a lab leak. But maybe you’re looking at the wrong country for it. I mean, name any other country that has a lot of biological weapons labs all over the world.

The western world just wants to find an excuse to blame the Chinese, so that they can fulfill their wet dreams of invading China, and starting world war 3 with them. They were even demanding reparations too! If the Chinese didn’t have ICBM

There is a word for this. It’s called: obviously. How is this different from any other country? Do you think that the United States government, or any other western government, would accept any damaging rumors that would cause embarrassment

So which is it? That the Chinese eat bats? Or that this was a lab leak? Because it obviously cannot be both! But yet, all the racist white people of the world, and yes, they were all white people, were accusing the Chinese of being disgusti

And 95% of that $1 million donation, went straight into the expensive CEO’s bonus, for a job well done. And to other staff pay. Call it an administrative fee. And this is why charities are bullshit. Bonus points: If you’re rich, then start

The only problem is that you must touch the grimy touchscreen terminal to give or deny a gratuity. The same touchscreen terminal that the last 500 people touched, and nobody has yet cleaned.

If it costs $100/month, and you can get local streaming TV service from it too, then this can compete with cable tv.

I would’ve thought that by this time, alternative software would replace Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. That maybe Google would make a good spreadsheet. Or Libre Office would be a contender. But nope. Libre Office is terrible. Buggy. And just

Hmm. Not exactly what I had in mind. What a monstrosity this thing is. They claim you can type up to 85 wpm. I might be able to type faster. I assume that if you’re right-handed, then you’ll use your mouse on your right hand. So you would

Mac keyboard shortcuts are not well thought out. It’s illogical. The Command key is used for shortcuts for the current active application, as well as controlling the operating system functions itself. There is no keyboard shortcut to activa

Foxconn is a Taiwanese company. Every HN’er here promotes for the freedom and democracy loving people of Taiwan. They even claim it’s a country. So get your “country” correct.

I don’t think life will get back to normal for at least 5 to 7 years. And even with mass vaccination, or herd immunity, you still need to wear a mask in public. Or in the office. Or when you’re in a small meeting room, crammed full of peopl
