C'mon, what a lame excuse. Well then, show us that democracy works and vote for a goverment which doesn't? If I follow your reasoning, you've just demonstrated that democracy is a failure, because the US government acts in

You can thank journalists for that. "Expert" opinions have been overused to control public opinion during COVID times, and several of the expert opinions have turned out to be wrong. People remember that, and distrust is the log

Given the current geopolitics, it doesn't look like the EU was very effective in eliminating the possibility of WWIII...

Well, the EU is pretty firmly in conservative hands. Ask a random EU citizen if they know that EPP is secretly leading the EU since its conception? They will likely not realize, because they fall for the piece&love propaganda. Just l

Wait, requiring a passport to cross a border did prevent people from forming relationships? I really don't follow. It is not like we were prisoners in our home countries before the EU was invented. And "love" has always be

My small-program success story with genAI coding is pretty much the opposite of your claim. I used to use a bash script with a few sox instances piped into each other to beat-match and mix a few tracks. Couldn't use a GUI... Then cam

Well, washing cloths has definitely become "more fun" since the invention of washing machines... Cleaning your flat has become "more fun" since vacuum cleaners. Writing has become "more fun" since editors overt

So far, huge rewrites/rearchitecturings typically worsened the end user experience from an a11y POV. I even know people personally who have lost their job of 20 years because their employer decided to redo their IT, "accidentally

The EU definitely has no concept of "love". It was founded to make trade easier. All the fuzz about humane values and morals has been tacked on more or less recently, to keep up the support for it from the population. It is the

You are probably right. What will happen is that ad-blocker people will indirectly kill accessibility. That would make a lot of sense in this world. Its a reoccuring pattern. Spam killed a part of accessibility indirectly via CAPTCHA.

Add Accessibility to that list. Morally speaking, it is likely more important then scraping and ad-blockers.

I know its kind of a conspiracy theory, and surely lifestyle dominates this statistic. But there is this plain fact that very famous artists actually generate more income for their label if they are actually dead. Makes you wonder.

Thanks for raising this. It feels like evangelists paint a picture of Rust basically being magic which squashes all bugs. My personal experience is rather different. When I gave Rust a whirl a few years ago, I happened to play with mio f

People used to brush away this argument with plain statistics. Supposedly, if the death statistics is below the average human, you are supposed to lean back and relax. I never bought this one. Its like saying LLMs write better texts then

If you have been treated repeatedly in an uncomfortable way by strangers, and sometimes even your own family, intent at some point no longer matters to you. It is the end result that counts. I dont have any sympathy for weirdos, they are

If you don't know german culture, this story might be hard for you to imagine. Fact is, germany has a massive stick up its ass. If there is a written rule, they will follow it, no matter what.

Csound (I think v3) was the first music language I played with, back in the early 90s, under DOS even. Back then, running in real-time wasn't a thing. Generate a WAV file and play it after the program finished. Later, at the end of t

While there is a lack of semantic HTML, "completely unusable" is an inappropriate exaggregation. At least I am pretty happy that HN is one of the last places on the internet that still work pretty well with a text browser like Ly
