Well, I do agree with the sentiment that people can do what they want, but I think the title AND the picture of the granny with the casino numbers reflected in her glasses both describe a real phenomenon, which I might even venture to label

I famously (among my friends) once received a phone call from my bank wishing me a happy birthday. At the time, getting a call from the bank, period, was very stressful for me (hasn't changed all that much), and as I thanked the calle

"Wow, this really looks significantly better than my own CLI tools" I'm going to have to look into this pterm thing.

My take might be a controversial take overall. Also note that I'm speaking as an American, in the "land of the free", which actually does apply in this case, I think: First, if it's OK with you, then it's not wrong

Once in HN comments I saw `sed` referred to as a one-way hashing function, and that's always stuck with me - not just for sed, but for any type of operation that ends up being sort of a "black box". Input becomes output reli

As someone who almost exclusively uses grep for finding what I need in codebases that are new to me and old to me, you can make whatever arbitrary rules you want, as long as you're consistent, I'll be pretty happy with it. If syn

The straightfaced and unhinged nature of the chainsaw section reminds me of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and probably some Kurt Vonnegut stuff. I love this style of writing.

My answer to pretty much everything these days is "it's all marketing." The lawmakers need to be seen as though they are doing something about what they perceive as a hot topic these days. However, most laws have some vaguen

Really well put and I always tell people this when talking about security. It's a sliding scale, and if you want your software to be "good" it can't be at either extreme.

Most security-oriented articles are written by extremely security-minded people. These people in my experience ignore the difficulties that a purely security-oriented approach imposes on users of the secure software. I always present secu

Add it to the list of reasons that I don't want a computer in my lightbulbs. I know a lot of you have had fun creating the smartest homes and there are definitely some legitimate use cases. But mostly I just want an inexpensive LED b

Youtube has been a problem and we have had many discussions about what's worth her time and what definitely isn't. We limit the app specifically to 1 hr. per day, and just kinda keep tabs on what she's watching and talk to h

Like the other commenter in this thread who says "... not social suicide ..." I would suggest just implementing the rules yourself regardless of what society is doing. The trend (as you can imagine) is definitely still going youn

Well, I didn't read the whole article, but I can confirm that I like my daughter (14) better once her allocated phone time is up each day. She only just got the phone 6 months ago, and we limit screen time pretty severely with Google

There is no need for distro wars here. What works for you is not necessarily what works for someone else, and none of them are _literally_ the best OS ever. Just because Debian and family have been around for a long time, doesn't mean

I wonder the same. I already take issue with the use of "realtime" in the marketing material.

Well, to be fair, bluetooth is pretty shit on Linux as well. I've spent many hours over the last 10 years specifically tinkering with bluetooth on Linux. Admittedly, it's gotten better, but definitely not great.

I reached this point after the small company that I work for had a terrible 2023 and I realized I hadn't been having fun or looking forward to going to work for probably years. Now I'm actively looking to get out of the industry.

Occasional excessive drinker reporting in. You're right, "excessive drinking" is difficult to quantify, and any vagueness of definition will leave us with what I would call "vagueness" or "incompleteness"

This is how I see it. Current rates aren't high, they just seem high because of the free money that's been available since the 2008 crash. I always thought that we kicked the can down the road for too long and we would pay for i

Yeah, from my point of view we're going to need more 38 year-olds starting new careers as developers to replace those of us that started at 28 and are ready to move on. I'm about 13 years in, but have been burned out for at least

The hobby table saw is the one I have in my basement that I use by my own choice, on my own time. The professional one is the one somebody else pays me to use everyday. They might be identical, that doesn't matter. I'm going to

It's a very parochial article I think. Sure, there are some numbers for the trends and such, but I suspect that people will continue to have kids both when they are younger and when they are older to some extent. Which is more likely

Obviously I can't see the future, if I had to guess, the most valuable thing to do with this option to buy (is it a contract?) is to sell it before the IPO. If that is legal, then it could be lucrative for these early contributors.

I'm not sure what to take from this. It makes it less punishing to not make your payment on time, but is that a good thing? If you make this a habit, you will eventually end up spending more on interest than you do on groceries... On

I'm just here to provide moral support for fellow cynics. Hang in there buddy, it will all be over soon. If we're lucky.

The nonsense (thank you for your valuable contributions) makes me nauseous. I'm so sick of that shit. We as a society need to stop sugarcoating (denial, rationalization) and be more candid. Otherwise the words just become more and m

I think it can be used for actual language learning. But no, it's not going to do it by itself. Say each word or phrase out loud, multiple times, and possibly other "extra" study (whatever works for you), and the daily DL
