Why didn’t past generations consider these ramifications for future generations? 2038 must have seemed so far away, but now it’s so close I bet even in 2038 and beyond people will still be reading this comment. Maybe they will be cursing us

Apple should take a page from Hollywood and create an Apple Cinematic Universe where there is continuity on the various storylines and characters created in their presentations.

I wonder if for some very popular open source libraries, charging a small fee to report an issue might be some kind of viable business model, or at least a way to prevent too many issues. You might say this will result in people not reporti

Hmm, what if they expand this to charge for small credits for various other tools? Filters, brushes, etc.

If lying to people pays really well and you can get away with it your whole life many people will gladly take that option.

It’s trivial to tell ChatGPT to rewrite the code base so it not longer resembles the original and then publish as a new thing. So yea, you can.

They wouldn’t feel tricked, but then they’d be pissed off at the rising prices, which affects their ability to enjoy the product. If someone sells you a bag of chips but they’ve already eaten two of the chips, your enjoyment of the bag will

I don’t get it, would people rather pay higher prices up front? A lot of times people don’t even use the entirety of a product they pay for. Shrinkflation can essentially just cut that part out. Even if you eat 100% of something, your brain

Pro tip: making a point of slamming a fist hard on the counter gets them to cooperate 90% of the time when they’re being difficult.

No, they say call direct so you can pay higher prices and not those online promo deals.

I wonder if any 8-bit era games used these kinds of illusions to simulate advanced shader effects.

How did you go about hiring your one dedicated sales person and what’s their compensation like?

If you can’t sympathize with the people making death threats, you are not sufficiently invested in the problem, and should probably not be passing judgement.

I don’t read most articles. And most articles posted on HN have famously low read rates of probably sub 1%. I read comments . Comments are the last bastion of pure ideas exchange, articles are just pretty conversation starters.

You bursted very few bubbles. Most people here would have already guessed the “blue lights” were just transformers.

A curiosity, nothing more. And those high paying COBOL jobs pay a lot because the applicants have 20+ years of COBOL experience, not just because they happen to know COBOL.

As a computer enthusiast I don’t want a desktop in my pocket. I want big heavy rigs, that simply have to be big to do the kind of computing I want to do. I’m not looking for a thin client.

I’ve been modding and upgrading thinkpads for quite some time. One thing I’ve learned, most mods just aren’t that necessary. People make mods mostly out of boredom. Once you’ve done enough and gotten over it, you’ll either just use the comp

Can’t wait to see what we invent after the crops fail and we can no longer farm the Earth.

Not even asking for that much. Any game demo would be appreciated.

No, and if you accept it as a house then this is a recipe for developing a bad habit of leaving a trail of half finished projects in your wake.

Your children don’t give a damn. They’re children. They will live wherever you live and be completely oblivious to whatever adults argue about on forums and the news. Don’t prop your children up as an excuse.

What a disgustingly materialistic and capitalist way to write off entire communities of people as worthless simply because you can’t find a six figure job there. No wonder the coastal elites get hated so much.

The problem isn’t housing and zoning. The problem is people absolutely refuse to go live in places where housing is cheap because they’d rather live in the popular hotspots. You want a cheap house? Sub 300k? Come to the Midwest, you’ll get
