Why would you need to shop for groceries any time? If mother stays with a kid father can do all the shopping on the way home from the work. What's som complicated about that? Also, in my country home delivery services are very popular

The common misconception of HN crowd: assumption that everyone are like them and actually want complete control. There is a nontrivial cost to having that control and not many actually want it. They want something that works and is useable.

Of course that is still the case. Which planet are you from?

The whole "need to fight native with the web tech" thing is flawed. I am not sure where that idea came from, but it does no good for anyone.

I'd advise your clients to avoid your advise if I could.

What makes you think, that new ideas, techniques, skills, etc. do not reach old places?

Sad to say it, but HN got worse. On reddit you can at least still choose some different subreddit with different culture.

I am listening what justification you will bring for my browser downloading 3MB of crap to display 500 bytes of actual information which requires zero interactivity, and for sure does not need you hijacking the scrolling. The problem is tha

It is tempting to see masks as a solution, but I doubt they are. We had quite strict mask requirements (bordering absurd, like wear the mask in the woods, being alone), and they are again required in indoor public places. Our neighbours in

If you think it invalidates my whole argument, then you did not understand my argument at all. It is extremely sad that HN folks have zero empathy.

I don't think author is correct. One more piece from someone who cannot imagine people being interesting in other things than computers. I don't see car enthusiasts lamenting (maybe they do, I just don't see them) that Joe Av

Speedcubing. It is very ignorant to claim that all you need is to know a bunch of algorithms. It is on par to claim that to win a basketball match you need to throw a ball into the basket. You need to think how to optimally solve the cross

Yes, there are "mirror cubes" which have brushed-metal-like surface. They are not considered solved unless the brushing is aligned.

You are never native on multiple platforms. You are always alien on all of them. Unless you have separate code base for each.

I think they were making Mac software back in the days when anything Apple was a true niche. They should be fine.

And for me any app that becomes cross-platform loses some appeal. I do not swtich paltform when writing some code, so all those compromises and trade-offs made in the name of being cross-platform are a loss to me, not some gain.

No, it is not my standart for education institutions. And (I hope) it is not a standard to teach. Alas, it is standard thing for people to learn. And, sadly enough, thi applies in all the areas. Concepts are hard, let's go shopping. I

There is another point hidden there. You can use free software in schools just fine. What happens when kids leave the schools? They will face MS Office or Google Docs. Maybe the idea there is that those kids then push to replace those with

This point is lost on stallmanists. They still live with assumption that every user is a programmer or at least very interested in _controlling_ the software. No. Majority just want to use the software for whatever they need it to. Writers
