First you have to know what you're actually up against. It's not a particular human behavior that is to blame, but stupidity itself. Some people are total morons and the behavior you're complaining against is merely a consequ

Anything social that tech enabled has become so toxic and damaging to normal f**ing human beings that i kinda wish governments step up and go full autocratic on these sites and services. This stuff is 21st century digital bubonic plague. Re

Restricted OS like Android. Awesome hardware has been dumbed down to a pathetic handheld console, turning you into a brainless ad clicking zombie.

I wonder, is public WCs (like in the office) a potent vector for this disease?

I've seen seemingly immortal tech giants die to the newcomer, but MS's office is just too ubiquitous and embedded everywhere. So even if there's a superior excel alternative, who would use it when they already have Excel alon

Thing about JSON is the ease of reading and writing it, regardless the size of the document. Compression deals with the rest.

I'm not sure what to make of this as .NET is "competitor" of Jakarta EE. In quotes, because who really would prefer that to Jakarta EE/Spring...

Isn't everything produced for mass appeal algorithmic? They even have a tropes wiki. And i'd take that any day over the arthouse originals the Elevated folks spawn. At the end it's economics that dictate what goes out hand or

So you're an authority on adults and proper things to watch? Link me to the codex, must read it.

I wished Uber succeeded in my country. And by "succeeding" i mean being allowed to enter the market. Can't stand taxis.

Something like that but in the clothes of a XPS (but not as thin for the sake of thinness by sacrificing cooling). I'd eat it right away.

This is something that even my Logi MX Master mouse is unable to handle.

In a lot of cases it's pattern abuse. I'm dealing with this all the time. People like to split things that can work perfectly as one whole, just for the sake of splitting it.

And to think that all the energy that went into creating so many new DSLs could have been directed to making even more linux distributions. Such shame.

Renewables are no match and no substitution to nuclear energy. No matter how much investment you dump into renewables, their energy density will remain inferior and sooner or later you will hit a threshold where, like it not, you will switc

I simply quit a job with 2 months after they pinned devops duties in addition to software development. And i've yet to be proven that this can be done by a single person.

The evolution you described happened only because the internet is freely accessible to anyone, anywhere, except if you're a communist. Reverting it back to some state you deem worthy is saying the internet was broken. Trying to nudge t

Total nonsense. Chernobyl was covered up by the most brutal and inhumane regime ever. It's this exact cover up and lack of responsibility that disgusted a lot people and lead to the hatred and fear nuclear energy is drowning in. There

I use RSS and get all my HN digest (among others) from it, including your post. I like it because it gives a very clean, simple interface to multiple sources and keeps track of what i've seen.

That is so ironic.

I've seen absolutely ridiculous workflows on Jira. Things like - "i'm gonna make the most ridiculous workflow out of spite and boredom just to troll you." From that perspective it's easy to hate it, but you hate the

They have their uses and misuses. People misuse them a lot, get burned, they blame them, and then they hate them. If you lack a dependency mgmt system, work mostly solo or in very small and tightly coordinated team and just need some github

Making sense out of things real or abstract has got to be way harder than driving. Faking sentience, on the other hand, is a neat trick with no value apart from 1 day of media fame.

AI still can't make cat from dog most of the time and fails at driving. And you're telling me it has become self-aware? It looks like a good chatbot with better training.

How far can Putin push the nuclear leverage until it's not leverage anymore?

Pre-WW1: USA was happily supporting allies in the their fight against Mr. Evil. But Mr. Evil sunk an American ship. WW1 started and soon after Mr. Evil died. Pre-WW2: USA was happily supporting allies in the their fight against Mr. Evil. Bu

Well, not all at all. But there is so much desktop software going on the web and that is a good thing. You don't have to install it to use it and it doesn't need the performance and native capability of the bare metal.

That is normal. Even one of the best recent Presidents can "struggle" with interviews. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4bDuFJuriw This is the best speaker on the planet. On the planet. His bread and butter

That is what you get with already established projects and teams. And it's only the beginning; legacy code will follow, along with horrible styles and ancient practices, and it will be much worse. That is why I love startups. I gotta f

Sickening. Twisting normality like that has always ended up in annihilation as reality has proven to be quite immutable. Problem is that the process is quite slow in human-lifespan term so such people have to be endured for a while.
