I feel like the GPS tracking device, fake Craigslist sex ads, and pig carcass are magnitudes worse than live spiders. I actually like spiders as long as they are smaller than my palm (and nontoxic of course) Insane story though - what did t

Oh yea I totally agree with your comment (and the others in the chain in this vein) It is extremely important (to me) to form some kind of relationship with the people I work with to stay motivated. It doesn’t have to be everyone and super

Love that sentiment! The Internet Archive is in many ways one of the best things online right now IMO. One of the few organisations that I donate regularly to without any second thoughts. Protect the archive at all costs!

Honestly a very depressing outlook. If I would really think this way I wouldn’t wanna work in this industry. The only times I was really happy and motivated at work was when I was working within a team where we were really friends - I’m s

On the other hand I would argue that evolutionary pressure works differently for modern humans in the 20th century and beyond than it did for the majority of human evolution. Sure uneducated people now often have more kids due to less contr

Often when pointing out how people fell victim to a con they won’t thank the person who tells them about the con but rather attack them. Basically they can’t admit to being so stupid as to have bought into a con. On some level you can be

There is a pretty cool project for a complete open source village: - https://www.opensourceecology.org/ Supposed to be all the machines you need to supply a whole village, made from low cost basic materials. I think it’s fr

Hey dang, Apologies I missed your earlier warning… I see that this was the wrong approach and noisy. I’ll work a bit on steel manning my arguments for reform and write a blogpost instead and share it with HN after to focus the discussion,

They keep claiming it because they don’t want to be recorded. It’s still legal to do it. Police are allowed to lie to you after all.

In rough terms, negotiating in good faith means negotiating in a way that is likely to yield an agreement. Bad faith means just going through the motions for the sake of appearance, or even making moves to spoil the process. IANAL

One thing is a giant corporation „promising“ something - the other thing is reality where the promises of corporations are exactly worth nothing and you can bet on them breaking it as soon as it’s convenient.

I'm not saying the futility of their efforts is the reason to change copyright law (although it should be possible to turn the argument your imagined lawyer comes up with around) - I’m saying what they are doing is futile, hurts more o

Tangentially related but copyright is broken and needs urgent reform. It does not serve its intended purpose anymore and this is just one symptom of it.

Good software doesn’t need constant updates or maintenance. Personally I hate the culture of incremental updates, shipping halfbroken beta versions, bolting on security as last measure because who gives a fuck about dataleaks. Everyone tryi

One mirror down in one country, meh. We can play this game of whack-a-mole forever. Copyright needs reform, this madness is wasting countless lifehours and holding back humanity as a whole. Copyright is broken and doesn’t fulfill its inten

Great advice, thanks! I’ll try out some stuff let’s see how it goes.

Being upfront means stating it without being asked during the interview. Of course lying is a very bad strategy. But so is coming out without being asked IMO. I have no personal experience just from acquaintances. I don’t know about time li

Being upfront won’t do you any favours.

Or don’t use their „security“ features. AFAICT everything would have been fine if they used a hardware key as second factor.

Unrelated but nice to see that my tonedeaf and somewhat rude comment sparked such an interesting conversation. I think I learned something reading this comment chain, so thanks for sharing your thoughts. Couldn’t respond to others in this

Unfortunately there is not much information for this online (atleast from a quick search I didn’t find much) Most seems to be related to working together with publishing houses (I loathe the German publishing houses so that’s definitely no

Do you think I could offer English->German translation services to indie authors as a reasonable side income? Do you know a good place to get to know them or start out building some connections? I have been doing it in the past (mostly f

I may be a very grug-brained „junior programmer“ but I literally never had to implement an algorithm from scratch in a 5 year „career“. Neither did any of my colleagues, who are as a rule smarter and working on harder problems than me.

You aren’t really able to implement them in real life anyway - just like any other form of DRM. If the device can show/play it you can capture it.

All of the „benefits“ you listed are why I hate native apps with a passion and avoid installing them whenever possible. I don’t want your mindshare, notifications, spam and all the other bullshit no thanks

Anecdotal, Dominos has a website I can order food from and it’s insanely good experience to use it in basically all aspects I can think of. I love ordering food from them just because the experience is so good. The food is a different stor

I think you definitely made the right decision. As a user and a developer I hate native apps with a passion, so I for one can’t wait for the browser supremacy to take off.
