Let the enshittification begin

This, Netflix account-sharing blocking, and the ever increasing amount of streaming platforms (that mean an overall reduced catalogue per platform) leads me to believe we will see …

How many flights have you taken in your lifetime? How many children do you have? Do you eat meat? Do you use multiple monitors when a 14" one would do? Why don't you cycle instead …

I read your comment as: "We will succeed when we make people who own ICE car's lives harder" am I wrong to read it this way?

The only way to realistically use a non-tactile button is to take your eyes off the road to look at what you need to press. That's the issue, anything else is irrelevant. I'm glad …

> Portland was home to the UX designers who wanted to redesign everything to look nicer but didn't understand how customers used our products I think that's every single piece of m…

Well, I'd argue that it makes the message more likely to be ignored. I think winning people over is a useful skill (not even on the internet, but in life)

> Ermmm no. Removing the snide 'Well, akshually...' remark from your comment makes you come across like a much better person. > Not utilising both cores properly on the ESP32 is a …

Making a calculator is one of the things I do when I learn a new language, and I always end up using this algorithm because it's the only one I know!

bluetooth headphones have a noticable delay for anyone who pays attention.

That's the point.

Isn't that going to be extremely slow? I can only realistically run 7B 5-bit models on my RTX 3060, anything more and it offloads to the CPU. My responses go from almost-instantane…

To the point the other siblings are making, you can get an app for your phone to measure luminosity, try it out on a cloudy day (like in the UK today)

Does it take into account gross upvotes, or net? E.g. could a controversial thread (plenty of upvotes, plenty of downvotes) get pushed off the front page because it has a low upvot…

Discussed here also: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38514537 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38515123 Not sure why it's getting pushed off the front page when, e.g. http…

Dark patterns are never accidental.

How would that be obvious to anyone?

We have a dishwasher but rarely use it (only for parties, etc). Loading / unloading is surpringly time-consuming, imho washing by hand is quicker. Something I'd consider doing if I…

I think you should re-evaluate how you speak to people online, it is unnecesarily hostile and I guarantee you wouldn't speak to me this way in real life.

Does it matter? You're not giving the site any sensitive information.

I'm sorry you've had to go through this. Good luck, man. I hope you get what you want.

I know this is a "toy" paper, but is enough to reason as to why few use Haskell in production (ignoring the tooling issue). It's pretty gnarly even for a basic problem. > Functiona…

My remark wasn't regarding public poo-flinging from employees to Elon, I agree, it is unprofessional and I would expect more. However, I would also expect my CEO to also not be a p…

If the reports are to be believed, then very core teams have been fired from Twitter, core services shut down temporarily (due to ignorance). If true, that isn't a meritocracy, to …
