I don't buy it. Which cameras have worse "Auto" settings than a phone? I have two Fujifilms, a Panasonic, and a Nikon, and they all take better photos on "Auto" than my iPhone or any of my friends' Androids. A

I didn't see any invented "new details" in the article's iPhone photos. Phones have small sensors and crap lenses, so they ramp up noise reduction and sharpness to make up for it. Turn up the ISO and max out the NR on

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking for here. In my experience (and as seen in the article) the image processing in most digital cameras will already blow an iPhone out of the water. As far as I know, iPhone and Android aren&

I love my big, heavy Nikon DSLR, and there's really no comparing the images it takes with the ones from my iPhone. Especially in "tricky" lighting situations they're not even in the same ballpark. That said, there can b

Every situation is unique, but I haven't seen this myself and I personally haven't had any problems finding a job after being laid off, twice in the last 20 years. Context is important. If 20 out of 120k people get laid off then

My current company, Anark, we would be "Anark-ists", but we don't actually refer to ourselves that way. Personally I can't stand that type of name, and think the whole idea is silly and cringy.

There's another way to look at it, though. Without unions, employees are disposable. Companies hire them when money is plentiful and throw them away when it's convenient. It clearly benefits the employers and investors to operat

I think the bigger problem is that their users all have accounts on competing services by this point. By the time they got serious about adding features, everybody who wanted them had already signed up for alternative services that had them

It's a little unclear what you actually "hate" here. To me, refactoring, rewriting, and rearchitecting are very different things than sprints, agile, and all that process. If you hate the process, then it's probably eas

I've had one job with "unlimited" PTO and I loved it, but like everything the devil is in the details. On the internet a lot of people have misconceptions and different ideas about how unlimited PTO is suppossed to work. In

Supposedly the operator of sourcehut has been banned from posting to the Go issue tracker: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/44577#issuecomment-11378... So, obviously he's supposed to know the even mo

So what? For now it's clearly better, and not very expensive. If it fails, I'll find something else, until then why not use it?

They do, and that grooming cost is indirectly covered by the lift ticket prices or the event sponsors. But the run will still be closed for a while, because it doesn't make sense to continually groom the run leading up to and during co

Besides scraping up the snow in general, they can really mess up bump runs because they travel through them a lot differently than skiers.

No, I see it very well. Looking at the bigger picture, very few things in life are under my control, and on the long list of things out of my control, this is a relatively minor, hypothetical problem.

Maybe because it doesn't really happen? I've been buying ebooks on Amazon from the beginning. Never had one disappear. I know it can , but in practice it's not a concern. YMMV, if it doesn't work for you, don't

There's a lot of "I don't think" in there. Have you actually asked anybody? I haven't, but my impression and anecdotal data is exactly opposite.

But that's how trust works. If you don't trust them to pull in safe dependencies, then you don't really trust them.

Sure, it's not exactly HTML, but looking at the examples it might as well be. But what prompted my post was the opening section of this page https://hyperview.org/docs/guide_introduction where they complain about

Blaming it on the user is a cop out. At the end of the day they're using the system that we created, and they use it the way we tell them to, so we can hardly blame them for the design decisions we made. For example, there's no te

I still don't understand why this type of native app exists. If it can be a website, it should be a website. Tech really does obey "worse is better" in the weirdest ways. Don't "web apps" exist to solve the

I hadn't considered the "hopelessly stuck" aspect, and that does seem promising. I fully agree on your other points, though. Communicating the requirements to the AI in a non-ambiguous way is more-or-less equivalent to just

I'm guessing it depends on the situation, but at what point does all of that become more work than just writing the tests and code yourself? Is it worth the "investment" to learn how to teach ChatGPT coding? Or will ChatGPT

Not surprising given the discussion I've seen about these AIs on HN and other sites. AFAICT, they're generally treated as a shortcut to avoid learning an API or library, or as a shortcut to avoid boilerplate by essentially copying

It's nonsense to claim the ARRL "haven't accomplished anything in decades". In the recent past, HAM radio has kept the spectrum allocated to it, and even gained small amounts, in the face of massive commercial competiti

I can't speak for the others, but the free version of Slack keeps all of your chat data indefinitely. Paying customers can view it, free users can't. Presumably the authorities would get the data from Slack directly.
