Programs like that should just be shipped with good documentation. And applications built to be used by normies should almost certainly never be built that way in the first place.

I thought the days if needing to "sudo" to install applications on windows were long gone; doesn't basically everything happily do user installations now? I would view a demand to escalate as basically proof that the applica

True, self defense isn't called murder. But if the government drone strikes an American citizen without a trial or anything, that's "extrajudicial killing", not murder.

Most people who dox for a reason they think is justified will nonetheless reject the label of doxing for what they did. They'll say "I didn't dox him, I just discovered publicly available but obscure information about him a

And if the state kills somebody without the cover of a legal pretext, it's called an "extrajudicial killing" rather than a murder. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrajudicial_killing#United_S...

Cannot say I've noticed, but I run virtually everything through plan mode and a few back and forth rounds of that for anything moderately complex, so that could be helping.

Did I say that? No, you made it up. Why you chose to make that up, I can only imagine (or should I make things up too?) Also everybody else responding to me is ignoring the point that most rural municipalities can barely afford keep their

In practical terms, is this kind of architecture available to consumers except through Apple?

by mikkupikku 6mo ago
Municipalities don't know anything about the job and few have the resources and personnel to become sufficiently experienced. I know every other poster on HN has a story where they personally stepped in and saw their local government

They've got unified themes that make GTK and Qt applications look nice alongside each other. Users who care will be using those. Users who really care might refuse to use your application because it isn't the toolkit they like

Tbh Qt is so big you've still got a few minutes of decision making after you've decided to use it. What parts will you use and how will you use them?

But you already have a machine that can do the dishes. Like doing the laundry, people forget the machines they already have doing 90% of the work. Soon enough artists will forget that computers can do 90% of their work too.

I don't see the problem; when you're out drinking with buddies, sometimes you're talking and sometimes staring at the sportsball TV in contemplative silence. Or a phone instead of the TV, it serves the same role. It doesn&#

I really do appreciate the sentiment, and in a flippant sense I agree, but if we're being real, the potential for harm to innocents, at least in the short/near term, is far greater if society devolves into vigilante mobs; study th

The speed which enables the most fair outcome overall is subject to interpretation. More time to prepare your case is probably good, but the longer the process drags out, the greater portion of your finite life you've lost to the proc

Cynical outcome: the system can't handle the case load and instead of scaling, it just refuses to adjudicate any dispute that doesn't involve a noble. Justice between commoners is effectively abandoned as a duty by the state, an

I was joking but also not joking, this llm-wiki idea is fun. I fed into it it's own llm-wiki.md, Foucault's Pendulum, randomly collected published papers about the philosophy of GiTS, several CCRU essays, and Manufacturing Consen

Just w.r.t having time to think harder, have you considered getting a hobby that forces you to go offline and do something repetitive so your mind can wander? I do this with walks (phone left at home) and sometimes swimming laps. Physical

Some of the best pilots ever have been women. Whatever the population distributions are, if a woman wants to join she should be permitted to, with no presumptions about her limits. You risk never finding some of the best talent if you shu

If a woman wants to join the army, that's great, let her and let her do the job she's best at. Even combat, I fully believe that some women can excel with unequaled merit. I'm talking about conscription. The state grabbing

We're not having this conversation in a cultural vacuum; men figure out at a young age that if things go to shit, their lives become expendable for the sake of the community. I view conscription as a form of slavery; something that I

How can a state survive if this weren't the norm? Why would men fight and die for a government that views their own wives and daughters as cannon fodder? If the government is conscripting men's wives to war, is it really in th
