As a cyclist, the number of other cyclists I see doing utterly stupid and dumb things that are a direct violation of the rules of the road and put pedestrians at risk...is a very high number. E-bikes are often even more dangerous because of

This is a fairly cynical way to frame this. There is absolutely bad behavior in the enterprise software space, but that is certainly not universal, and is not inherent to the "call us" approach. > If you're too small, the

I worked for enterprise software companies for a number of years. I’m not personally a fan of “call us” pricing, but it is indeed effective, and the companies that sell software this way do so because they prioritize establishing human rela

I’m not saying it’s a good solution , but the problem itself is real enough. As others have noted, I’ve had more close calls with dangerous e-bike riders as a pedestrian than I’ve ever had with cars, mostly because riders behave as if they

Look at it through this lens: the EFF is seeking to educate the public on the dangers of mass surveillance. The HN crowd is disproportionately aware of how such systems operate and their implications, while the public has little understandi

Apples and oranges I think. Drugs are deeply rooted in culture and humans are drawn to altered states of consciousness. Modern surveillance tech isn’t rooted in the same biological or cultural factors, and enforcing laws about its use seems

I opted for vanilla docker/podman. Not getting some of the Nixy benefits, but works well for my use cases. I keep telling myself that of these days I need to play with the Nix way, but we’ll see.

NixOS has been my daily driver for gaming, code experiments and general productivity for about a year and a half now. I’ve been using desktop Linux in varying ways for 20+ years, and while there are certainly downsides/tradeoffs, I don

Anecdotally, almost everyone I know laments the decline of real social contact in recent years, and everywhere I go, people are buried in their phones, ignoring the real world around them. Social media discourse is more toxic than ever, and

Saying something negative isn't inherently toxic. But saying something negative in a job interview is walking a line. Everyone everywhere has experienced negative factors in a prior job, so it's not exactly a revelation if someone

I don’t find Cliff’s notes to be similar at all. They represent standalone short-form content written by authors that is a purchasable option alongside more in-depth options written by other (or at times the same) authors. If Cliff’s notes

I do think the fact that your product is likely to drive views makes this less of a concern than what YT is doing. From a creator’s point of view, I think the concern would be about how true this remains as the product grows/evolves. B

It’s an 8 minute video…and even shorter at 1.5X that will take me longer to summarize than you to watch. But in summary, YouTube is rolling out AI summarization features on some content without giving creators any say in the matter. Concern

Somewhere between toxic negativity and toxic positivity lies a middle ground and I think some of the comments here are presenting a bit of a false dichotomy. When interviewing people, it’s usually possible to identify both extremes. I’d pre

Therein lies the rub. Whatever the answer is, it will require careful and thoughtful solutions, not oversimplified conclusions that raking developers over the coals publicly with no warning is somehow “Good”. To be clear, I have far less sy

I agree with the conclusion that we need safer software from the start. But we also have to deal with the reality of the situation in front of us. I will maintain that the differences between the implications of revealing a crack in a bridg

This seems like a fallacious analogy to me. Why is a cracked bridge dangerous? Because anyone traveling over it or under it is at risk of being hurt if the bridge collapses. Warning people that it is cracking does not increase the likelihoo

What is your position on open source projects? Should someone who writes software in their spare time who decides to share it publicly be forced to stop doing so? I’m more open to harsher limits on commercial software, especially in certain
