Now nothing, they don’t happen nearly enough to rethink our systems entirely. Let not perfect be the enemy of “good enough”.

Let’s not forget that all of this only applies if you’re of the “right” religion. There’s a thick glass ceiling in vast majority of Indian professional world if your name sounds a certain way, no matter how good you might be. We like to ign

These days people’s entire financial life is on the phone with all the banking apps, emails, password managers, MFA etc. We cannot afford to be lax on security in any way whatsoever.

Any cost saving from reducing connectors haven’t reached consumers at all it seems, but that’s a different conversation I suppose.

In this case I’d expect the office to have a dock present in all meeting rooms.

Usually iPhones are unquestionable winners in video quality and getting consistently good photos every time. Samsungs are a mixed bag with photos, sometimes really good photos, sometimes bad. In a course of a day or a holiday where I’m taki

There's no honour in getting your family killed by illiterate religious fanatics based on how your name sounds "for the greater good". So yes, the onus IS on those large collection of people (country) to recognise that their

They (birth country) didn’t invest in shit. It’s run by right wing extremists who at one point were less than 100m away ready to burn down our house and family alive. I’ll happily clean toilets in a different country than to go back to my

They have no coherent vision. As a consumer I have no idea what I'm getting with a Google product, or what their ethos is. Their products and features are always randomly baked together, without any coherent story. Left hand doesn&#x27

"Prestige" in regards to Tesla appears to be regional at best. Nobody I know (including myself) even considers Tesla at its price range due to competition (Mercedes, Audi, Porsche) completely outclassing it in terms of design and

After getting an M1 Pro, I don’t worry about battery life on laptop at all. This is such a huge quality of life upgrade and competition has no answer for this. I switched from Linux because of this.

By this logic, who isn’t an “assembly line worker”? I’ve had a few careers, hobbies and view into various different fields due to extended family. I’ve been an architect, an artist (pencil drawings mostly), and pursued medicine for a while.

If you believe that your personal obligations take precedence over spending your free time on software relation extracurricular activities, are you really worthy of a job in this sector?

Strongly disagree on this assertion. Each to their own, so I'm not going to pretend that we're having an objective discussion here to start with :P. Personally the wordle model works for, something like wordle, but doesn't ex

It's the opposite for me. If my employer requires me to come in, I'll quit on the spot. I'll take a paycut to not go in, I'm sure I'm not alone in this. No amount of money is worth commuting times and being forced t

None. Use the restaurant's own ordering system whenever possible. But I understand that often these systems tend to be not as good. My family recently started a small takeaway and currently we rely entirely on JustEat/Deliveroo fo

This is why as a European I low key wish that the right wing trend of the US continues (Trump gets another term etc) because the isolationist policies that come from it will be a net benefit to us in the long run. The reduction in US's

I hope then someone in your team is responsible for continuously documenting these patterns, however trivial they may seem to the author. I use frameworks for their documentation more than anything else. Maybe it's the UK developer cul

In my experience, a framework atleast provides some ropes to hold onto while traversing the mess. Currently I'm stuck with a codebase with almost no documentation of a mess of legacy and new code with layers and layers of developers&#x

It's highly unlikely those losing paychecks now will be starving on the streets since measures are being considered about missing paychecks already and society is not at all in a complete breakdown mode. Supply chains are still running

This. Cognitive load is largely ignored when it comes to these arguments on HN, which is ironic given the demographic's profession. Traditional manufacturers have made it so unnecessarily difficult to feel good about your purchase. The

That's equivalent to replacing an ICE engine/transmission, how often does that happen, and how much does that cost? It's a moot point, ICE cars lose that one by default. Secondly, it's not just the pure monetary value. W

Ditto. Intrusion of for-profit entities into online communities have well and truly killed the spirit. I base that on the fact that being exposed on any online destination where people congregate these days such as, Twitter, Reddit, hacker

I've considered filling this gap myself. Perhaps less about specifically programmers and more about regular people who have a regular job that dictates their use cases. Almost all big YouTubers are fulltime YouTubers and when it comes
