How are shutters any less useful these days than before? They still provide the same exact protection from storms etc.

Exactly, this is how we use it too.

I don't know what kind of places you have worked in, but I have rarely bumped into disrespectful jerks as coworkers in my jobs. If you work with many jerks, maybe there is an opportunity to improve the recruitment process there.

A lot of Windows users would probably disagree.

I didn’t really interpret the essay that way. I think the essay applies as much to working hard on personal things, like becoming better at playing some instrument or painting better. Both of those take a lot of hard work, but it has nothin

The thing I mostly miss with the current .NET ecosystem is the capability of making desktop GUI applications easily on Linux.

OpenGL Compute Shaders are one option too.

We do! They are: - "You have overlooked this obvious thing, you idiot!", and - "Could someone explain what's wrong with the naive solution?"

Maybe you have connection problems? Still works totally fine here. Loads faster than most sites.

There are definitely certifications for welders, especially if you need to weld something that human lives depend on.

If this is a quip about the site being down or something, it seems to work fine here.

Fun to see this here! I have this as a poster. It came with the Finnish computer culture magazine Skrolli back in the day. I highly recommend browsing the rest of the site too. Oona (windytan) has tons of interesting experiments and project

Then again, for every project you have to then setup vcpkg and cmake. I thoroughly enjoy that Rust comes with a build system, package manager and test framework out-of-the-box. But it is good that the situation with C++ is getting better.

Yes, Conan and vcpkg have gotten better lately, but that is a relatively recent development. Just two years ago I still had a hard time finding some common libraries with Conan. It's good that the situation is better now.

This is exactly my painpoint with C++ too. With Rust and such I'm one simple command line call away from installing a dependency. With C++ every dependency is a battle.

I think it's a huge distinction. Google's entire business is built on tracking users and serving ads based on that tracking data.

When you post stuff on HN, the visitors don't usually come in an orderly queue at the same rate for 24 hours. There is most likely a spike where most of the visitors open the site within a couple of hours, and then click around the oth

The difference between $30 and $300 headphones is significant, but the difference between $300 and $3000 headphones is likely pretty small.

Getting to the front page of HN brings a lot more traffic than "a few dozen visitors at once". https://nicklafferty.com/blog/what-happens-when-you-re-on-th... https://thehftguy.com/2017/0

Never seen this happen. Maybe try to reproduce it systematically and post a bug report?

In the past five years or so I haven't bumped into anyone who would use Atom. When Atom came out, it picked up some steam, but I'd say VS Code has already won that race by far.

Looking at GitHub statistics, I would dare say TypeScript is pretty accepted: https://madnight.github.io/githut/#/pull_requests/2020/4 Out of all pull requests on GitHub in Q4/2020, 18.8% were JavaS

It doesn't make much sense to look at the average population density of Finland. Homeless people don't really roam the empty countryside, they are in the cities, probably much like in the US too.

Well, I was more wondering if there is some correlation between the occurrence of car thefts and the sensitivity of car alarms. Do they make the alarms less sensitive in countries with less car thefts?
