No, I'm open to discussing it, I haven't decided, I've heard good arguments on both sides. but, in my experience, most people that put "I'm open minded" in a self description are signaling they believe in certa

Games just as often as not have terrible UIs. Take Destiny 2 for example. It's a nightmare of right click (no indication that you'd want to right click). And in particular games are flash for flash sake. I love it for games but I

I'm going to start directing all homeless people to your house. We'll see how long your tolerate them.

For me the term "open minded" is a label for close minded people that believe specific things they label as "open minded". Say for example legalizing drugs. They don't believe in being open minded about whether or n

Swift is far more like C# than Rust in terms of memory management. Sure it uses ARC but arguably that makes it not suitable for kernel level stuff.

Or you could be like Jonathan Blow who claims he never has any memory bug issues and so it's not a problem worth solving in his JAI language.

Yes, it's very frustrating. Japan is basically open. Restaurants, coffee shops, bars, are full and people have their masks of when in them. Shops are open, movie theaters are open, shopping centers are packed. There, people do have mas

There's a greater risk in Asians? Japan has had 20k deaths or 1 in 60k, vs USA which is currently at 1 in 1200 People always make up random excuses like "Japan locked down more" No they didn't. In fact they've been

What evidence is there the open web is dying? At least here on HN I'd categorize 25 of the top 30 links as open web links.

Dark mode has big issues with use generated content. you make a logo, diagram, or screenshot for your README, you can't make it dark/light compatible.

It drives me nuts that all the current forums default to closing threads. Reddit and Discourse are the worst offenders if only because they are so common. Answers to questions change, you need to able to leave a response years later that th

Is it possible to verify the chip's content is what it says it is? With software we can run some kind of signature generator and verify the signature of the bits match but that seems like it would be impossible with hardware?

Super interesting but so conflicted. > Those who insisted on entering the shops were heckled and, on their departure, assaulted. Their parcels of meat were confiscated, hurled into the gutters and sometimes doused with kerosene. Butchers

So from your description it sounds like you believe any work to help minorities have a voice is wrong. For example at one point redistricting was pushed by various people to help give minorities enough collective voice to have some influenc

Yes, you are correct. at least in the USA it's called the "United" States. If each state gets effectively no voice there's no reason for it to stay united with the other states. So yes, at least theory it's not a ba

That's amazing. What's special about emacs to do that vs any other scriptable editor? I don't think I've used an editor that's not scriptable since the late 80s. All the ones I've used could run script and thos

lol. There's a reason Safari is called the new IE. So many features missing or buggy, not following standards.

And that native app could likely pown your machine, especially on Windows where it's the norm to ask for admin to install almost anything.

I know this was written somewhat tongue in cheek but it mostly didn't resinate with me. Instead, my guess is I procrastinate mostly when the project I should do is both not well defined and probably going to talk a long time to finish.

I agree with to you a point but how am I supposed to find new music to buy without some kind of radio/recommendation system. FM radio certainly doesn't play the type of music I like. I'm thinking I'll buy some of the son

What features do you like of photos? For me it seems more or less (mostly less?) than iPhoto though I'm not really an iPhoto user. What I find frustrating is I'd like to name people (as in face recognition) but the UI for doing so
