   I might be misunderstanding your point then. Are you saying that he/the small group are solely responsible for Disney wanting to pay 4 billion for it?

   I feel like this could be said about most human traits, on both ends of those traits’ axis. I’m not sure if that makes it insightful or obvious :).

   I think it depends on your job/role. Unless you're spending literally all day in Jira, I don't think the performance (or even more broadly, the enjoyment) of one's task tracker affects productivity that much.

   I’m sorry you’re going through this. She’s very cute. Dedicating a project to her sounds like a great idea. If you use Reddit, I can also highly recommend the r/petloss subreddit for a bit of “group therapy”. It was very helpful for me

   Thanks for the reply and links, I’ll give it a read today.

   Why are they bunk science? I’m not an environmental expert, but the research papers and policies I’ve read don’t seem to be egregiously wrong. I’m asking genuinely, I’m open to changing my mind here.

   That feels like deciding to go after Jetbrains because someone used IntelliJ to write a harmful program. Is there a distinction I’m missing?

   I'm not familiar with D, but Zig and Rust are well-known for continuously evolving. Zig has the (in)famous "Writergate": https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/24329 And besides Rust's high c

    This is why I dislike most wartime analogies. Most day jobs just aren't that urgent or important.

    I'm not familiar with PHP, can you elaborate on what you mean here? What is it compiling? Or are you referring to type safety?

    That’s the law, yes, but in practice it’s murkier: https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2023/08/super-pacs-raise-mi... > In fact, not a single coordination investigation has ever resulted in a PAC being fined.

    Right, as presented, these people are closer to Lex Luthor than Superman. And I would still want to tax Superman.

    I've only been to the low tens of graduations, but in my experience this is pretty common for a speaker. A couple highlights and otherwise a little boring :) Now of course, there are exemplary speakers who keep you engaged the whole ti

    I mean, you posted a comment and started a discussion about "LLM complaints on HN", so I replied to that. I didn't comment about the article itself. Part of my point is that the line between "written by an LLM" and

    On the one hand, I get what you mean. Some genuinely interesting projects are immediately dismissed because AI was involved. On the other hand, I have two real problems with AI writing. 1. LLM prose is genuinely unpleasant to read. Its the

    They won the long game. Everything is rented and DRM now. Very little of what most people buy digitally is truly owned.

    I’m not sure why you needed a gendered insult to make your point here. Surely there’s a less sexist way to imply someone is bothering you.

    These blogs are AI-written. Claude/ChatGPT love a follow-up. I guarantee they’re suggesting something along the lines of “Great catch on that typo. This is looking good. Ready for plenty of upvotes on Hacker News and Reddit!” And that’

    Personally, I generally dislike product tours. On the other hand, I think it's interesting to compare the dislike in these comments (and elsewhere) to "RTFM" culture. What's the primary difference? That you can read the

    I don’t think they were trying to hide that - they said they’re a “hubber” at the top. Maybe not obvious, but not obfuscated.
