Chat heads are the first thing I disable on every new phone. I mostly get frustrated by features breaking and then staying broken for months. I don't know how things like not being able to expand an image or play a video you've se

I've seen them attacked for a few things which I don't see as major or as Facebook's fault and can imagine that people constantly seeing people complain about these little things will mean it detracts from the big, important

I've spent a non-trivial amount of time trying to work out how to do in Powershell what in bash would be: program | tee filename.txt & It's also too verbose and needs too much shift for me to comfortably use as a shell. So why

I agree that they can't distinguish it but there was no visible demand for an iPhone before the iPhone.

Why do they have to do the work? If someone releases a game and I play it, maybe I get a Linux-only bug where the audio sometimes becomes static-y until I reset (real world example). If I file a bug for that, they probably won't fix it

Solutions are to questions as tests are to software. For me they offer peace of mind no matter how sure I am.

A new grad certainly hasn't. Microsoft are saying here that the older interviews didn't test for skills that would actually be used.

As soon as your bash scripts run with /bin/sh. You can still have bash installed and anything that requires significant scripting could probably be done easier with a language for scripting. I want my shell for my terminal. This i

There's an outstanding issue in the github because the binary doesn't let you directly time fish functions. You can do time fish -c '[function]' but that includes the time to launch fish. This, of course, wouldn't m

'Walkability' is a concept that comes up on HN quite often. Things like awnings and doorways can make somewhere feel more comfortable to walk in and I guess that would make it feel less sketchy.

With the way it introduces Elliot Carter, then goes back to the original topic, the article is structured like the thing it's describing. Very interesting and fun to read.

If it was implemented using something like hitting super/the Chromebook search button and then typing your intentions, it would be a more deliberate choice to send the data than it is using a voice assistant which is constantly recordi

It's hard not to think there must be ulterior motives when Equifax basically got away with it even though their data wasn't given freely.

Hijacking history is a pattern used by malware and trying to stop it has broken some honest websites. This happened with Flash, with Java applets, with popups. It shouldn't be a surprise. As I see it, you're considering the malwar

It would be just that, a guess, and a particularly bad one since I'm not in the US anyway.

That's not the full answer. It was introduced to accommodate people who wanted their pages to work like SPAs. It's the intentions of the people who are frustrating me.

I fail to see how I can be ignorant of what I find less frustrating and more compatible with my user expectations. >It allows them to use their own tools for bookmarking, link sharing, and history management rather than forcing a from-sc

There are ways of doing SPAs without polluting the history. In fact, I find them less frustrating to use. If your design relies on cues taken from malware pages, that's on you.

Starting an article by referring to countries that work without tipping cultures and then finishing it and naming it to say it can't happen is astonishing exceptionalism.

I don't find the original deception, or his claims that he did it intentionally, very interesting at all. In an artistic sense, it's trite. In a PR sense, I don't see it being very effective because, actually, he's not v
