I resent them for stealing the name of a beautiful island home to 145 million people. It’s so bad that even when you google Java while on Java island you get Oracle stuff first (in incognito). I was hoping to read about an actual boat tri

That habit makes zero sense. Reduce already is a map and filter and one, why do you need to loop it 3 times? Reduce itself is awful to begin with. https://twitter.com/jaffathecake/status/1213077702300852224

“Smart” appliances are so idiotic this has stopped being funny many moons ago and it saddens me that it’s such a sad state of affairs. Even the best consumer electronics companies generate such frustrating software that I’m losing faith in

I really hope this isn’t really that common. Like how bad do you have to be with a knife and do you really need someone to tell you it’s going to be a tad difficult to cut a frozen piece of bread? Basic safety tip: Don’t pull or point poi

Korean uses non-monospaced punctuation, spaces and numbers though, it’s not fully-monospaced like Chinese and Japanese https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/%EC%9C%84%ED%82%A4%EB%B0%B1%EA... Japanese also has monospaced number

Not to defend any countries, but national blocklists are used by plenty of other countries, including free ones like Italy. The difference is just that Russia blocks dissidents too.

Nah people are just rude. Look at how the vice prime minister demanded Elon Musk to send him free stuff while simultaneously making fun of his space plans. Apparently when there’s a conflict everyone must follow every semi-related request

Software isn’t gym though, it can be “used” by just keeping it in the background for multiple sessions in a tab somewhere, especially if the software does some monitoring so it’s always active. Whether this makes sense though depends on the

Is AWS the proof you’re wrong or just the exception?

I wouldn’t go as far as to say it’s 100% about looks. I skip women without a bio because they’re usually the most boring.

Nah you’re wrong on all counts. If a product makes bad decisions and then the author posts it on HN what do they expect exactly?

by mushyhammer 5y ago
Maybe rude but not entitled. Nobody here cares about the product specifically, but it’s shooting itself in the foot and saying it’s a feature; that doesn’t sit well with many. https://xkcd.com/386/

I think you got that wrong. Top Picks appear to be people who are picked the most, not because I would personally like them. Most of the time I like none of them even if they obviously have a “good” profile (sexy photos, no bio)

The answer is super easy: I want JSON to be shown with syntax highlight but when I pipe it elsewhere I want porcelain output. $NO_COLOR is an additional indicator that the output might need further processing and it’s not for human consumpt

Show me the handheld devices that were running full-blown Linux at the levels the iPhone was (i.e. with a responsive UI). Linux being Linux I’m sure it can be run on a sock but that’s not the same as what iPhone OS 1.0 was.

To be fair, that's not a bad idea. It'd probably stop a bunch of drivers driving backwards without looking. Let's do it.
