Maybe not the last, but it feels like we're getting closer than I thought we would. I love keyboards, I love typing. I'm rocking an Ergodox daily with a wooden shell that I built myself over ten years ago, with layers of macros th

Yes. Non-profits are more than capable of abusing the commons, the purpose of even small monetary requirements is to put a bound on that.

This is a bit retroactive, Republicans started calling it Obamacare to make sure no R voters would want to put their support on it, it was later somewhat reclaimed. The Rs did this because it worked verbatim previously with "Hillarycar

You're not the first person I've seen say that they do that with movies and I just can't put myself in your shoes. If there's nothing to pay attention to during those sequences then the whole movie isn't worth it, i

I'm not sure that's any different from reading any historical text other than perhaps the abbreviated timeline. Written language always requires some context about when it was written to accurately parse, it's just less obvio

This is all strikes. People love to point to the strikes that got us forty hour work weeks and women voting but they forget that the other side has had time to respond. So now we waste our time with this instead - and look at your proposal

Chick-fil-A too, has this principle. I'd rather have no principles than stupid ones.

The perfect crime - easily detectable, reputation destroying, barely profitable compared to information people give up willingly. Only Apple could come up with something so clever and so easily defeated, thanks to their boundless evil.

The whole thing end-to-end is the ride service though. The interface is the differentiator that made Uber popular and forced traditional taxi providers to compete for once. There used to be tons of anecdotes about "the card reader be

For sure, I was there. But we also used to have to have the people on the phone read our order back to us to confirm it, now I've got a screen that does that automatically. I'm not at all nostalgic for the alternative.

by llbbdd 9mo ago
I've seen more than a few people on this forum assert that the old taxi system was/is comparable to Uber or somehow better. I even got some shit for referring to it as old, legacy, I forget the exact verbiage I used. But it is old

I miss Harmontown dearly. He was always dropping solid-gold wisdom like this in the middle of otherwise borderline-incoherent rants.

There's probably some fuzziness here. I have notes upon notes going back ugh, 20 years (idk how old I am anymore?) that I could count as planning. At some point I need a kick in the ass to do it. Mike Tyson said everyone has a plan un

Yeah that too. Mostly I want perfect recall of the things I want to remember, but constraints like this introduce so much overhead into managing when it's turned on that it obviates the usefulness the rest of the time.

by llbbdd 9mo ago
Nah, and Black Mirror illustrates why. I guess I just want intrinsic perfect recall, but maybe the method, technological or biological, isn't the problem at that point, just the social friction of not forgetting.

I misread this as a reply to the "humans are just a wrapper around..." comment and was like, that's a fun weekend.

If you search Google Trends for enshittification, half the results contain Doctorow as well [0]. Normal people have no idea who that is. And that's just Google, which everyone on HN hates to the point of vibrating angrily because there

I'm going to consider this with the same weight I would if my future grey-bearded self popped out of a portal to say it, thank you. I've had a sticky note on my monitor for a few years that just says "SHIP SHIP SHIP SHIP SHIP

Same. I'm tempted to print this post out and hang it for inspiration. But I guess that would also not be doing the thing.

I'm a bit awestruck. Was there any discussion about it among your peers? We might be a generation or two apart, I saw that video when I was not yet an adult and it might have been literally part of my introduction to the person that is

I'm not surprised at all here, last time I worked in a FAANG there was an enormous amount of boilerplate (e.g. Spring), and it almost makes me weep for lost time to think how easy some of that would be now.

No surprise at all and I'd challenge you to find any backend task that LLMs don't improve working on as much they do frontend. And ignoring that the parent comment here is just ignorant since they're talking about the web lik

But they aren't. Weren't the same people boycotting like Starbucks and McDonalds recently over the kerfuffle with Israel? Last I checked neither of those gigantic companies reacted to that at all except for firing people and shutt

Target? They're down a miniscule amount from record breaking revenue in 2021, which looks a lot more like a correction in line with the rest of the market around tariffs and other uncertainty. I hadn't heard of this boycott at all

Backend has always been easier than frontend. AI has made backend absolutely trivial, the code only has to work on one type of machine in one environment. If you think it's rare or will remain rare you're just not being exposed to

Spoken like someone deeply unfamiliar with the problem domain since like 2005, sorry. It's an entirely different class of problems on the front end, most of them dealing with making users happy and comfortable, which is much more chall
