Can't help but feel a faceless corporation would have gotten away with it. And also that the result is not a loss for the planet.

It used to be really bad this spring, but now it's somewhat buggy but fundamentally fine. Somewhere around March games would just randomly lose focus, start stuttering, or you couldn't use fullscreen while having a secondary monit

Most illegal things go on Telegram for some reason. I guess Signal doesn't have the required features.

Oh, it was an event with custoners invited? Yeah, that's grounds for dismissal anywhere, I'd think. Even in countries with strong labor laws you could just show the court the video recording of an employee doing willfull sabotage.

Voters don't actually want house prices to come down. Voters, in aggregate, want rents to fall and prices to rise, roughly divided by renters vs owners. Somehow the homeowners almost always win against the renters in this political tug

Preach. HTML and CSS are markup languages for creating documents. Using them for GUI applications is wild and obviously a bad idea.

A good habit, but encryption won't save you in all cases because anything you run has write access to .bashrc. Frankly, our desktop OSes are not fit for purpose anymore. It's nuts that everything I run can instantly own my entire

I don't understand why people look for a conspiracy. The people being replaced are being replaced because they're not having any babies. There's no government policy for that, nor is one needed. Is anything less than being fo

Do you mean republicans? That’s different. I have some sympathy for the whole small government thing. I even kinda vote that way myself. But there’s a certain kind of person who will instantly vote for a “man of the people” who “tells it li

They're generally not on HN. And since they're not here, we might as well speak about the problem using plain language.

There's a lot of stupid people out there waiting for someone who knows how to speak to them. Sounding like a country bumpkin and being unimpressive to the elites is probably good qualities if you want to be that sort of person.

I generally agree, but if we assume that the amount of history scales proportional to the number of humans, then it's not so clear cut, as there's never been more humans alive than now. In other words, there's just more histo

Apparently (can't be bothered to fact check this) the nazis liked having parades in the dark because it was easier to propagate the idea of the nazi ubermensch when you couldn't see that the dedicated members of the nazi party wer

You mean enshrine a right to messaging privacy in a constitution? That's going to be difficult.

Really? Most businesses leave their eternal soul and their firstborn in the care of Microsoft, with no backup plan. I just don't buy this.

If you give them money, Mistral will help you set up their models up in your basement. Also they're really cheap. That's their USP, I think.

I wish this was satire. The slide is full of spelling mistakes and all kinds of horrible communication. Even when I know it documents an issue that killed people I still struggle to read it. Only the bottom part hints at anything relevant.

Only in Silicon Valley. But if you can, definitely do.

Depends. Some options only vest in the case of an "exit event", i.e. an acquisition or an IPO. At this point I would assume such options are borderline worthless.

I find it very hard to justify investing time into learning something that's neither open source nor has multiple interchangeable vendors. Being good at using Nvidia chips sounds a lot like being an ABAP consultant or similar to me. I

The private market is getting out of hand, then. I think it makes sense for private companies beyond a certain size to have the same reporting requirements that listed ones do. At these valuations the private market for startups is becoming

If their options haven't converted to stock yet, it's not looking good. This is the sort of shenanigans that demand a strike. And ideally regulation.

Surely the appeal is more that someone will fix things if your k8s installation breaks?

But that just runs the installer. What about the program that is then installed? I remember this being a bit of a hassle, and not having a super great UX. It works, by all means, but it's just a lot worse than Windows, which is admitte

I dunno ablut easily. If you just have some random exe installer Bottles is not super helpful. Probably easier if your software is in the Bottles catalogue.

A car is not a tractor. The risks are really very different, and generally don't relate to speed.

Nobody's good at C++. I've written C++ and even got to the point where I felt I had things under control, but tbh that's just delusion and hubris.

An APS-C lens is just going to be bigger than an M43 lens. That means you can carry more lenses for an M43 camera. I have an Olympus/OM camera plus three lenses and charger, and it all fits in my flight carry-on luggage together with a

If you're like me you want to write code that runs on the GPU but you don't, because everything about programming GPUs is pain. That's the use-case I see for rust-gpu. Make CPU devs into GPU devs with an acceptable performanc
