>just about _any_ excuse will get you out of the fine Hilariously wrong, and if it were true it defeats the purpose of making it mandatory.

I find it hard to believe this comment isn't sarcastic. Apple's software, atleast in particular macos, is horrendous - to the point I ditched my m2 macbook for a thinkpad because o…

If they're intentionally causing the customer to have an unspendable balance, knowing that it's making them $200m/yr, how is that not fraud (or some kind of crime)? I'd expect atle…

I shouldn't have to explain this, but a letter is a medium of communication, that could just as easily be written by a LLM (and transcribed by a human onto paper).

If I have a VPS, what should I be running on it to replace github actions? (eg run tests, return pass/fail to github PR)

The poster you're replying to is plain wrong, using "class" is ubiquitously common in the javascript/typescript world, it's the idiomatic way to create classes, and it has better s…

The 'rewrite it in lua' crowd are oddly silent now.

I'm a big fan of react, but all the server stuff was a cold hard mistake, it's only a matter of time before the (entire) react team realises it, assuming their nextjs overlords per…

Yea, I don't want something trying to emulate emotions. I don't want it to even speak a single word, I just want code, unless I explicitly ask it to speak on something, and even in…

>Maybe a kid managing to struggle through a shitty school has to work harder It sounds like you think admissions should be based on how hard people think they worked relative to ot…

I'm not sure if they meet the requirements for being a terrorist group or if I agree with them being considered terrorists, but I just want to point out the name of the organisatio…

Humans are imperfect and anyone can make mistakes, yes. I would argue there's different categories of mistakes though, in terms of potential outcomes and how preventable they are. …

"'such' a phishing attack" makes it sound like a sophisticated, indepth attack, when in reality it's a developer yet again falling for a phishing email that even Sally from finance…

This is a nice article. I'm trying to make a map save file format. I'm curious if most developers usually use abstractions over bitflags(safely hiding away the bitwise operators fr…

Whenever my apple wallet connects to my phone, It plays a totally useless animation that feels like it takes forever, and covers the entire screen. In that time, you cant see or do…

>the individual was unable to distinguish a display name from the actual email address This is wild to me, not just because they're a developer but they even know about SPF/DMARC. …

Which companies are violating copyright on a massive scale? And what impact? (a bigger, badder impact sounds implied by you)

>Both autism are ADHD are vastly under-diagnosed especially in women and adults. How is this known or proven?

I disagree that it's a genocide, but if you're going to link a source showing it is, the United Nations, and/or the wikipedia page on the topic, would be better than a paywalled NY…

The cloudflare status page had nothing reported, so I just assumed its some issue elsewhere (and the HN post didn't exist yet), if it wasn't for HN I'd probably be ordering a new r…

It's a legitimate distinction, "they were in control" and "they weren't in control". If the pilots are on a collision course with a mountain, but are happily sitting there thinking…

So, people are being treated differently entirely on the basis of their race - but it's not racist because they're lazily cutting corners in following a regulation? If they actuall…

> When filming in the street, for example, for a street interview, TV typically blurs the faces of Japanese-looking people passing by (except for foreigners). While in the West peo…

I disagree, I've been using linux for 20 years, and know the ins and outs in detail, and it's a easy choice for non-technical users. Just make sure they install the best distro (yo…

If you're just eating a burger, you're not personally slaughtering the cow. Secondly, the relationship of humans and dogs is far different than humans and cows, dogs have evolved a…
