How ist 20%/23% good? Am I reading the numbers wrong? 40%, that I could agree on. But 23% is very low. Another thing is culture. The in the company's where I've worked at, how the men talked about women was pretty off-putting

Ugh, tell me about it. I'm in the process of closing one and have been for 1.5 years now. I think we're close, but who knows. I certainly don't

I also like seeing them. I know there are a lot of people who hate that, similar to cutesy error messages on web pages which I also happen to like. But in no way does this signal IQ/EQ. It's just a personal preference

I guess that's exactly the author's point? That the company has too much control. She isn't arguing about websites, she's arguing that social media networks are too powerful and they'll happily block criticism when

Yes, that's exactly right. Other requirements around this whole thing force us to do this in a function and not through psql. We've actually been thinking about using pl{perl,python,rust} instead because this approach works, but i

I enjoyed the story, but the writing I enjoyed even more. I really liked the tone and wittiness.

Why do you think this is premature memoization? This is an example, boiled down to a simple function. Do you think people just came up with the use case for this without ever having needed it? I think an effort in standardizing signals, a c

It gets tiring to see time after time again that the best way to reach out to Stripe seems to be through HN. In the tech bubble, it often seems like Stripe is the only option, but Stripe has shown that it's willing to shut people out o

Someone reverse enfineeredSgineered 3D Pinball for Windows (Space Cadet), with playable versions now for for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and more. I've been having a blast with this.

Is it like required from their religious leadership to install this? That is incredible, and I only now understand your comment to its full extent. That is brutal.

After re-reasing the comment I think you're right. I had a hard time grokking it it seems. But since the issue was apparently a VPN app installed on the phone, I don't know whether this was the ISP or maybe their IT service provid

Not that I'm a fan of it, but in corps it's pretty standard praxis to have a custom root cert installed on all devices and enforce VPN connections on devices outside the network to be able to MITM all requests and do stuff like co

That is insane and I would be inclined to not believe it if someone had told me this. This is such an immense breach of trust that even for me, who has a very low opinion of Meta, it is unexpected. I hope this will blow up as much as it sho

Same for me. It took me completely by surprise, but as soon as I stepped inside, I started to cry. I don't like it that much from the outside (though I don't mind it either and appreciate it's unique style in contrast to a lo

Officially? Can you elaborate a bit? I've got a g52 and it's really slow most of the time, I'd love to install a clean ROM but I just don't want to spend time on this right now. If there is a fast and official way, that&

Hi, this looks super polished, congratulations. I've got a couple of questions: - Does the metadata editing allow it to write back to the file, storing the edited metadata in a sidecar or in the EXIF data? - Does it support some kind o

Meh, ChatGPT has had plenty of news coverage and people were talking a lot about it. Traditional news are filled with stories about AI this and AI that. Even stuff that isn't AI now includes AI somehow just to jump on the hype train. I

Or maybe there just isn't evidence they've used it? Whereas for Google, we do have evidence they used that data. I mean, I'm all for these companies disclosing their training data. But just assuming OpenAI isn't fined b

Single binray is great! Maybe I misremember, or maybe it was different when I checked last time (or I checked compiling yourself?). 497MB is big, though, and 100 MB is as well, but I agree for desktop use in research it is more than OK.

None. That doesn't mean they don't care. As I said, most people I know are annoyed by this but take these banners and tracking as a given because they don't understand enough about technology and see them everywhere. And let&

How does it show that? Most people I know are annoyed by this and click on "reject" (if they can find it), but for a lot of non-technical people these banners are just a given because they don't even understand the problem. D

Yes and no? To some extent, sure. As an example: But if companies or people went out of their way to comply with a law that is clearly not complying with the spirit of the law, just the letter of it, are you really responsible for that? Or

Did clickhouse-local reduce its install size? I vaguely remember that it always included all symbols and other stuff and was over 500MB and not trivial to install. Definitely a hurdle for some people. Iirc they were working on addressing th

Woah that's insane. I remember there was a reddit thread about these things and one nugget was that the Oxford University was built before the Aztec Empire existed.
