For the same reasons that demolishing Gaza, relocating its inhabitants, and letting someone else develop the land is utterly insane. People aren't random machines that can be moved willy-nilly.

Something of an alternative to log4j, yes. On every project I've worked on, the vast majority of logs are useless. They're either too verbose, or not verbose enough. It's never clear who they're meant for. Log levels are

No thanks. It's clunky, slow, laggy. Electron was a poor choice IMO. One of the things that makes Eclipse great is the UI toolki; fast & properly desktop-integrated. None of this clunky JS/TS hot garbage that runs in a cripple

Eclipse user here. I haven't installed any plugins (other than a few home-grown ones) in many years now. It mostly ships with everything I need by default. It is getting a bit long in the tooth, and I'm saddened to see that the Ec

Not quite sure why he thought ketamine would be safer than LSD. Maybe because the local pharmacy carries it?

I would be much more interested in a unified inbox on top of all those communication apps. An *actual* inbox, which lets me flag things, mark as (un)read, move to folders etc.

What do you mean when you say "a reading website"? Something like Goodreads? Or a website for actually reading specific content?

Working on a new Java logging tool. I'm basically yak shaving, really. Was unhappy with the existing solutions for a new project I'm working on. Depending on how it goes and how the customer feels about it, I'll try to open s

I enjoyed the video (and ended up here because I was posting the same link). I thought it was an insightful take. Videos on HN aren't always well received, especially longer ones, but I hope people will watch it.

Maybe the currently shitty transatlantic political climate will force politicians to think about the reliance on 2 US tech companies for every single piece of mobile software. The UK tried to force Apple to Do Evil and failes. Who's to

Forcing apps on people keeps the Apple/Google duopoly in place. Every alternative mobile OS fails unless it has an Android compatibility layer. And even then it will fail because Google's anti-competitive Play Integrity API won&#x

> It's about tracking That's exactly what it is. That is the only real reason. More tracking, more data harvesting, more control for the publisher at the expense of user agency.

I think the first one I bought with my own money was a DeskJet 540. Printing seemed much more important then than it does now.

I helped an elderly relative install a brand new all-in-one HP printer over christmas. It was a ridiculous shit show of an experience. The printing quality is OK, but that's the only positive thing I'll say about it. It ships with

I don't understand why people keep buying HP products - printers in particular. They're awful in every regard. They have zero respect for their users, even after they've over paid for inferior products. They've shown tim

I've never heard anyone use the word "zekerheid" when talking about security. Verzekering, zekering, zekeren. Sure, but those are all pretty domain specific. No one hires a "zekerheidsagent" to secure their building

English speakers' seeming obsession with "safety" and "security" has always struck me as a bit weird. I wonder if it's a bug in the language or in the mindset of native speakers. Or maybe one reinforces the oth

Both of those concepts translate to "veiligheid" in Dutch.

Exact same story here, including the occasional speech problem. Well, I've only been getting them for 30 years. It's always reassuring to hear this from people who have been getting them for longer than me. They used to freak me o

Only that's not how auras seem to work. The current understanding is that they are caused by cortical spreading depression - a slow travelling wave which depolarizes the brain cells it passes through. These don't just happen rando

I've tried not CoQ10 and high doses of B2, without any impact on my aura frequency or duration. Migraine auras are such a pesky thing which medical science clearly doesn't understand. The typical migraine drugs like triptans are u

There are some infrared masks which gently warm the eyelids to "melt" the meibomian oil in the eyes, which improves lubrication and can really help with dry eyes and associated fatigue. No clue about their wavelengths, but those a

> Remember Germany is still the place where you say four-and-twenty for twenty-four … That's a weird remark to make. Lots of languages do that. And if you want to talk weird numbers, try Japanese with their 10k grouping (e.g. 100k i

The way I see "safety" isn't really about what AI "can do", but about how we allow it to be used. E.g. an AI that's used to assess an insurance claim should be fully explainable so we know it isn't using r

Why is it that every time the word Java comes up, some rando without any apparent insight into Java shows up to make weird Kotlin remarks. 1. There is no such thing as "strictly better syntax", that's impossible to objectiviz

I got to see some of these in person, though at different conferences. If you're at all interested in Java, the talks by Venkat Subramaniam and Nicolai Parlog are worth a watch.

Looks great. I would be very happy to see this used for timetables and service announcements in and around public transport.
