All of the disingenuous objections. The intent of the OP is very clear, imo.

"Several upgrades also demands that you do the upgrade version by version" This seems unlikely. Do you have a source?

It's not unusual for Americans to live insular lives where the rest of the world doesn't exist in their worldview. The globe snark is unnecessary and frankly not worthy of a HN com…

Countries outside of the US exist, some of them with extremely low incomes that nevertheless hold segments of the population that are technically competent enough to not only under…

Most of your points apply equally well to ingress as they do to egress. Yet the cost of one is orders of magnitude less than the other. The only sane explanation for the vast imbal…

I live in Australia and have noted the same phenomenon on Netflix. There is an absolute dearth of new, quality content coming through. I've seen no indication that formerly exclusi…

Complete tangent, but how did you treat your injury? Coming back from bulging discs and sciatica is rare, to my understanding.

Is it possible you were thinking of this book? https://isbnsearch.org/isbn/9780719006692 Not quite the same thing, but has quite a few references to Newton contained within the pag…

The original commenter clearly didn't understand it, since they asserted that "statically linked libraries prevent this attack vector". Which is unambiguously not the case, they me…

Lots of things that don't make a great deal of business sense still nevertheless occur in large corporations. Frequently. I'm not sure that's a useful metric by which to judge a si…

Even spouses of Googlers suffer from this malady occasionally. I have a close friend who has a wife working for Google as a tech writer, and every time the subject of Google's decl…

As another programmer, and one with decades of experience building software running critical infrastructure, I have a very different view. You seem to be expecting perfection, or a…

With respect, did you not read the part about being unable to cancel until 48 hours or less until the subscription renewal day? That's a clear dark pattern, with only one obvious m…

I wouldn't say I 'love' it, but at the same time I don't really get all the hate. I've recently moved from a large'ish (50+) dev shop to a much smaller team of 3. JIRA was and is u…

imo it's the use of the word "secured" at all that's the problem, not the context to which it's applied. "Secured" can mean many things to many people, whereas "Encrypted" is much …

Yes, I thought you meant otherwise. Yes, I was confused about it. Yes, I really thought that. Truly.

Slight correction, from a former Turbo Pascal (and subsequent Delphi) programmer... "Real" types were platform-dependent floating-point types, not suitable for monetary calculation…

I believe this was the offending sentence fragment that implied the sentiment you say is not there: "the likes of which you are unlikely to meet in the regular world"

In regards to your first question, the word you're looking for in google-able energy industry jargon is "dispatchable". And yes, dispatchability of intermittent generation is achie…

Actually the OP is correct - the odds of dying are 44.75%, while the odds of surviving are the corollary of 55.25%, i.e. greater than even. Edit: Nope I'm wrong, just redid the mat…

The links you've provided more deal with how to keep NuGet package versions consistent across multiple projects within a solution. While this does solve an issue, it is not the pro…

Something like this would be a game changer for my workplace. This particular issue is a huge bugbear for our team of 50'ish developers in a .NET development environment, working o…
