Less glue and avoidance of nails and screws doesn't make it sturdier. Fastening things strongly makes your furniture sturdier than not doing so. Antiques suck as often as they don't, and moreover you are only seeing the ones that

It should not be strange that a tool which is better in every way and makes your code less buggy by default has its praises sung by most of the people who use it. It would be odd to go around saying 'electric drills are strangely and d

The 'some degree' is pretty important, though. The Rust language undergoes backwards incompatible changes sometimes, but the Rust tools do not. The 2024 edition has breaking changes since the 2021 edition, but all compilers ca

This is junk. Writing a type annotation takes basically zero time, then saves you time by preventing the runtime error because you forgot which variable was which, then saves you more time by autocompleting the correct list of valid methods

My favorite is finally supporting `arbitrary-subdomain.localhost`. Been a real pain in the neck to add Safari-specific fallbacks for my usage of that.

You're trying to minimize the power of the union by quoting dollar amounts, when the whole point of the union is to have power, and the whole point of unionization is to defeat superior dollar amounts by capturing the organizational me

You're pulling the old man card on CSS-in-JS? Putting your style logic in CSS is what CSS is for , CSS-in-JS is an annoying hack to make React work. What this is replacing is SCSS.

Maven was a great idea. Introduce a high barrier to entry for publishing packages. Paired with a search box operated by carrier pidgeon, this effectively meant what you were looking for didn't exist. Every time you had any kind of quir

I didn't say 'utopia'. I can name exactly the things I want changed, and exactly what the proximate effects will be of doing so, good and bad. Yes, agencies are people. If you think that it's dishonest to castigate the S

You are surely not saying that because HN talks about it, it must be well-known and well-respected. Other political positions related to libertarianism, as you name it, have the exact same fate: some states respect them, others don't,

What? It's literally the same regulatory agency in this case, and more broadly it's the same ideological strain of banning doing X without also doing undesirable thing Y and not caring about whether that reduces the rate of X. Unl

Yes, Rust's strictness makes it a lot more maintainable. It is so much more common that changing the one thing you wanted to change results in a compiler error at every single other site you need to change, without having to look at ot

Valve most likely cares about more relevant things than idiotic Internet shitfights, such as functional technology, or paying customers.

The app consistently shows me things that I want to see from the social circle around the people I follow and the topics they talk about. Alternative platforms like Threads are worse at this; the platform I hear the most about, Bluesky, bra

You can already do that and some do. Mojang, for some incomprehensible reason, even lets you disable auth in the official server's settings (`online-mode=false`).

GPLv4 could be the MIT license. GPLv3-or-later is a statement of arbitrary trust towards the FSF. Corporations serious about licensure, like SixtyFPS, aren't fans of that. (I don't think I've ever seen GPLv3-or-later in the w

What makes Fyrox better than Bevy? I don't think the hundred people commenting under every Bevy point release on HN are thinking of the ECS. It has features and it has tools and it has games.

Haven't watched it, but to summarize what I imagine someone aligned with me would say: A ballot's entire lifecycle can be watched as it goes from the stack to the booth to the dropbox to the counting pile. Poll watchers are vestig

Bloat cannot mean large contributor to the code size, since it's a tiny portion of the binary and dwarfed by the regex, syntax highlighter, and (sigh) command-line parsing. It also cannot mean unwanted feature, since every single time

They can do this because they have a choice. Apple cleaned itself of the GPL once it could, after a long stint where it couldn't. Had GCC been the library backend standard instead of LLVM, the world would have a lot more GPL in its com

He started a continuous combustion reaction, and Malibu was destroyed by the continuance of that combustion reaction. Whether at some point the orange light it was giving off dimmed a bit is not very interesting. He committed the crime; the

This all hinges on the word 'unintentionally', which is not at all how the law sees it. Arson has a forty year maximum for a good reason , because fire tends to spread and cause a lot more damage than anyone predicted. You are no

This is a content-free dismissal. The existence of an effective monopoly in records retrieval for previously published data does not affect your ability to collect presently published data.
