Probably stuff in your own history takes precedence?

It does matter to me, I hate it when slimy sales tactics are the norm. I’m saying the boiling frog idea does not really apply here. It is essentially a spam issue.

This seems logically incoherent to me. Maybe I’m reading it wrong. But anyway here’s my version: Avoid making mistakes that harm others. Be aware that you will make some anyway, and you won’t always recognise them as mistakes at the time. (

He didn’t say his original transgressions were bad enough to make him a colossal douchebag. He said refusing to apologise for them turned him into one.

I think this logic should be reserved for the cases where it really matters, like the erosion of freedom of speech. Potentially permanent changes. This is just slimy sales tactics. The level of ‘acceptable to most people’ swings back and fo

Maybe they do that once? They definitely don’t do it every time you open Chrome. That would be ridiculous.

Seems unlikely every marketing email Visa sent during this outage was sent from an actual, valid email address with an inbox. Isn’t that pretty unusual for marketing emails? They’re usually from something like no-spam@domain.

I think your summary of the debate around puberty blockers is a bit selective, and your stat “more than 99% will not change their mind” doesn’t seem to be anywhere near the true figure, sadly. But what does any of this have to do with my qu

> people telling you that you shouldn't exist Who does this? I'm asking because I have seen this notion expressed hundreds of times, but in 100% of cases, there is no example given that even remotely justifies this hyperbole.

This is something that took me years to grok about Twitter. Each tweet creates a forum that is solely moderated by the tweeter. Mod powers include blocking people (which removes all their replies from the forum and from any other forum you

No, I'm not judging them, I just said my view of them took a tumble. When I feel tricked, I lose trust in whoever tricked me. And negative trust is often lasting. It's hard to gain trust and very easy to lose it. BUT: I didn'

My sentiment towards the EFF just took a big tumble, probably permanently. Tricking and cheating people has costs as well as benefits. EDIT: I've had my faith restored. Added reply to a comment below.

I also think “Why blame anyone?”, but not because there’s no problem. Just because it doesn’t make sense to blame individuals for market movements. Markets are powered by billions of instances of “what someone wants” but that doesn’t mean t

I know you were joking. I meant my comment in a lighthearted way too. Maybe I should use more emoticons :)

But there isn't just a correlation. There's also a fascinating idea: better grip strength might help prevent a common cause of death in old age: falls. I've never made that connection before, but it seems very reasonable now

Hacker News’ automatic removal of “How” from article titles can really change the meaning. The modified title looks like a strong, scientific claim. So we end up with lots of obvious ‘Science 101’ comments about correlation vs causation etc

Not sure how this observation affects the point that the name “doesn't bring to mind serious investigative journalism”.

How come the latest cutting edge tech demos showcasing photorealism are barely more ‘realistic’ than a PS4 video game cutscene from a few years ago? There wasn’t any part of the demo video where the guy looked or moved like a human.

I mainly meant CI/CD builds. Or any future build on a new machine.

Ha, I found the same thing. It’s very buggy right now. But I think there’s still an important grain of truth in the idea that it “just works”. OK it’s buggy, so it doesn’t always work. But when it does, it just works. It’s all or nothing. T

Not sure that “CDNs aren’t supposed to go down” is a very reassuring point, nor one that Deno’s authors would make in its defence. Deno’s vendoring approach isn’t like a stopgap in case third party servers go down. It’s the ’right’ way in D

I don’t know if this is true. But to everyone dismissing the idea that a military would ever use Google Maps to co-ordinate, you may have missed some news stories about what a shitshow the first few days of the Russian invasion has been. Ma

For me the issue is whether the magic is fully acknowledged and explained by the project, bringing me in on the details of the compromise. I tried to get into MobX years ago but found it impossible to get along with. I don’t know what it’s
