And we are all worse off for it. Let the "people" have their mobile apps. Keep computing hardcore!

I think the biggest opponent to what you're advocating are new users, they are so easily intimidated by too many things on the screen. These are the people that dominate focus groups and so designers seem to have wrapped themselves aro

There are pockets of it still floating around and continuing in development... the ENM/polyamory communities provide a good framework for going about it in a manageable way. "The Ethical Slut" by Easton and Hardy is a very go

Why must I be entering middle age when the pendulum is swinging towards prudery? This headline feels part of a larger trend towards boorish sobriety. I'm gonna be 70 before we get free love again :(

It has always existed. The final release from years ago still works, and whoever owns it now has been updating it under version 5.9 fairly recently. There is a "Winamp 6" on the way supposedly...

Yeah, these are "startup hackers", not computer hackers. Easy mistake to make. Disappointing I know...

It amazes me how many ATMs run Windows (CE or XP), it seems like Linux would be a no-brainer for them Now that I think about it I do recall encountering a POS system running CE. But I never got to interact with it.

Yeah but you couldn't ever open it to a desktop with Explorer and all that

Windows CE was a bit of a white whale for me... something that I kept hearing about and wanted to see and experience, but I could never find anything actually running it.

Dude gamers get super defensive over refresh rate. It's like, don't trash my large numbers! They are large numbers! It's kind of stupid.

Yeah, I use all of those. But what I can't really use is some low-rent sales copy trying to persuade me to abandon FOSS tooling in favor of yet another rent-seeking cloud solution. New != Good

Real, living breathing DJs. They are a way better way to discover new music. Listen to a set and pull out Shazam whenever you hear something you like. It can even dump all that into a spotify playlist For me its the only way to fly

While I agree that not every experiment may be worth it, my point is that there aren't good alternatives for a lot of things. But, like, nature is a cruel mistress. At every level of survival comes the suffering of other animals, wheth

Sorry but this "Meta shouldn't have released the weights" BS is exactly that... bullshit. All models should be open to everyone at any time, full stop. I don't want to live in some corporatist future where we plebians ha

I know that, but I think these hiring posts should allow comments. It is suspicious to me that they don't. If these companies are truly as great a place to work as they claim to be, then they should be able to very easily defend that i

"Flexport is hiring" posts were popping up like weeds here on HN for a while. And they never allow comments, which I found to be highly suspicious.

Legislation or not, it is very entitled to think that that which is cast to the public is something you have any control over. Any illusory power you might have is merely legal, which in the grand scheme of things doesn't amount to muc

There has to be a better strategy than caching and virtualizing to not tip over with large files. Why not just do whatever is your system's equivalent of a SQL LIMIT query? I can't think of a good reason as to why you need to in

I really wish I could configure this crap to cache somewhere other than my C: drive Or better yet, how about asking me where I want to store my models?

That sort of thing is only going to accelerate the amount of crap, derivative music that is already flooding the market The difference between music and driving a car is that music is art. Many of those who labor in the space enjoy creating
