Yep, this happened to me a few weeks ago (even commented about it on a HN thread). I've had this youtube account since about a year after youtube came out and the google account its attached to since about 2005. To not be under 18, I&#

I don't get it. The pitch is about... 64bits? I've been writing cross platform 64bit software for years, why would I need a new programming language for that? What a strange thing to lead with. The home page doesn't do a good

I'm of the opinion that singletons are only useful if both of the following requirements hold: 1. They MUST NOT allow more than one instance. "I don't think anyone will ever need more than one" isn't enough. Jus

Hmm, that's strange. I did some contract work for Klarna about a year ago and had to go through mandatory on-site training and a big chunk of that was with their legal team about data protection, GDPR, about storing the least amount po

That's no excuse. If they weren't chasing giant growth, then they could have dealt with the issues as they arose, but instead they're largely turning a blind eye. I've seen so many advertisements served by them that were

Will it make a difference? If it’s a one way trip, what’s earth going to do about it if some guy decides to play warlord on mars and commits atrocities to do so?

Google monetising tortured people, yet another reason why I find them to be a truly evil company and why the “I work in ads at google and I’m not a bad person” people are deluded, in my opinion.

It took a little bit of getting used to, but once I did, its been great. I don't always use it, sometimes I'm just not sitting straight at my desk and its seems like effort, but when I'm typing heavily or coding, I typically

I was like you, was pretty fast and never actually learned to type. About 8 years ago I decided that I use computers so much that I should probably learn. I bought a blank keycap DAS keyboard and forced my self to learn to use it. I also sw

I use a foot pedal with my Kinesis Advantage2. I use one pedal for the Advantage's Fn layer and one for shift. I don't use the Fn layer that much (mainly to reach ESC or use the numpad), but of course I use shift a lot. I did it f

by dkersten 5y ago
Regarding the things you don't like, my solution was to get the foot pedals. I have the three pedal one and use one pedal as FnShift and another for shift. I've then also mapped some common things like ESC to the Fn layer, so I ca

No, I'm saying that CCP's behaviour is suspect and the fact that WIV did, in fact, openly research the exact type of virus that caused the outbreak and that the first reports were from Wuhan is a pretty crazy coincidence. Couple t

Are you saying that the CCP did, in fact, let people talk about it? That they didn't cover it up for months before admitting that there was a pandemic, after it had already spread around the world? That they did, in fact, let the WHO i

No, but when the second hypothesis is the one that CCP has banned any investigation and news of, is not cooperating on the investigation and when there had been claims about the WIV safety and the WIV has openly stated that they were rese

This is one of the reasons I have such a low opinion of Google and people who work on adtech. Google has served me adverts for misinformation, scams, malware, exploitative mobile games, gambling, religious crap, porn and incest porn games.
