Then it should be “This is your first and final warning. The next time we catch you, it’s a ban.”. People are building their lives around this stuff and kneejerk bans erode good faith in your platform.

Wouldn’t it still provide massive benefits if they could convince/coerce their most popular downloaded models to move to torrenting?

I can push 130WPM with some serious warmup on QWERTY. Even still…I can feel its inadequacy. The semicolon sitting unused under my pinky is just such a massive waste. The period there instead would be a game-changer.

I’m not even a neophyte here but why don’t precompiled shaders solve that?

If you had a truly thorough QA department, you might get away with that. Sadly, trashing QA is everyone’s second favorite new fad.

Y’all forgot that the only reason we’re on Discord was because MS actively killed Skype. Skype was much better software circa 2012 before MS let vulnerabilities run rampant, degraded the UI, and moved off the remarkably robust P2P calling s

That’s not a reasonable societal expectation. That should be an expectation of the parents to follow through on.

If you’re Bill/Melinda and you’re undertaking a massive project to change the world positively, why not take money from Epstein? The public benefit would dwarf whatever benefit Jeff could obtain.

Gedit is an underrated alternative imo.

Eventually group SMS would still function well for this, no? Shared email lists barring that. This seems like a race to the bottom.

By that logic, it would seem that oatmeal would be best placed in a non-breakfast slot, no? I’m genuinely curious. I have a vested interest in this.

You sort of have to plan ahead for this now. If you’re not careful, your belongings will get pinched. If you wear an inner jacket with pockets, though, you can safely stash your goods and conk out. Even better if it’s just a reversible jack

Yep. The negativity around H-1Bs is centered around using them for low/mid-level roles in the pursuit of wage suppression, racial/caste discrimination with hiring managers abusing the system to get their friends in, and the tech i

Bit silly considering the scoreboard typically has a TV that shows the most important bits that would have been seen at home anyway. His argument may have made sense in 1980 before TVs were introduced in stadiums. For an actually interestin

Why intervene? Iran was already struggling badly as a nation. Killing 2-30k civilians will not help improve a failing state.

Rust isn’t versatile enough to be used in high-level contexts. You simply have to jump through too many hoops. It’s great for low-level apps but if I just want a simple UI and CRUD functionality, I’m reaching for C#/Kotlin. That’s not

If I get AI to generate an essay and rewrite every word with my own whilst keeping the same general meaning of the original text, surely there’s no reasonable way to detect that, right? I mean, the solution is just in-class-only essays, rig

Having watched a great deal of Andromeda, Star Trek, and Hercules/Xena growing up, I would submit that weak video effects can be perfectly fine as long as the actors take them seriously enough.

Cherry picking the foreign company with the deepest pockets for “crimes” every game developer commits these days? Surely, HN of all places recognizes that the EU fines Meta/MS any time they have a shortfall in their budget.

Rental single-family homes should largely be illegal. Short-term housing should be largely limited to apartment buildings and more space-economic structures. Littering the landscape with empty houses only helps bank accounts. Still, I'

What did y’all think María Machado won the Nobel for over Trump? Does it even matter or is orange man bad all you care about anymore? HN was over the moon to see her win just a few months ago.
