It's related to the media reaction to the initial backlash as well. I personally dont think events like this are ever purely grassroots, someone powerful decided they would benefit…

At this point we need herd immunity so young people gathering and getting infected is probably a net gain. More people will die due to economic damage than the virus if we maintain…

It's now the most popular programming language by a decent margin, there are a lot of libraries available for it, and it lacks some of the performance limitations that affect other…

I still use this directory structure and it doesn't really bother me honestly. Makes it very easy to work with multiple local repositories without having to worry about any linking…

It makes a lot of sense IMO. They can immediately make more money in the short term, and after their competing product is ready they can negotiate more favorable terms with Hulu or…

RPA seems to be the biggest area where this is currently popular. The "citizen developer" bullshit they're pushing IMO sounds good on paper but will lead to fragile bots that end u…

Also in terms of TDP and lack of a dedicated graphics card. And then with the Surface Book, not only is it more awkward as a laptop but because all but the GPU is in the screen the…

The funny thing is they advertised this as a feature when it was launched because it was supposed to be more aesthetically pleasing and not collect dust etc. I guess there's a reas…

I think the idea is partly "I could use some help with this, but I'll get some food and drinks and we'll try to hang out and have a good time even though the work part sucks"

Especially given how Mac was at one point ahead of everyone else in terms of automation...

Not gonna lie my #1 complaint is that PHP jobs on average pay like shit in comparison to most other things. I don't want to work with it solely because it has no value on my resume…

That wasn't at all the point in my opinion. I'm pretty sure the intent was just to point out the political dysfunction of our system that's basically denying Asian Americans a voic…

A lot of white Americans have a problem with this, I don't think most are aware that it also impacts Asian Americans. If they were, they'd be behind you 100%. Save a few extreme el…

Are these sorts of policies really going to get any better when the rhetoric they're based on is ramping up and demographics continue to shift in favor of groups that benefit from …

There's almost no other explanation, unfortunately. Opinion on it does tend to be pretty closely tied to conventional political orientation, but I know plenty of women in tech (or …

Now that I'm working remote & holed up in my apartment all the time, none. I got some of the DOOM Eternal branded G Fuel for the game launch, and it's strong (300 mg of caffeine pe…

There is growing political demand to move away from China entirely though. I doubt its particularly popular with most people with influence, but if we've learned anything from 2016…

AP classes aren't really close to the same in my experience. They may technically be on par with entry level college courses but none of the content is so difficult than anyone els…

how many years ago was it that HN typically had a generous interpretation of comments? lmao

Doesn't Vala compile to C and handle memory safety somehow? Obviously that depends on some GObject stuff but I think a similar approach could probably be used in this case.

Holy shit imagine this being what you're focused on right now, of all things.

A little too late now isn't it? Even if they were going to kick Hungary out of the EU, Orban would be an idiot to give up that power.

And then we seriously overvalue these "core CS skills" for a lot of positions, many of which will not involve actually using any of it at all. I can't tell you how many people I've…

"Didn't save up? You lose your business. Either it goes under or you sell it at fire-sale prices to somebody who has the assets to keep it afloat until things stabilize (possibly t…
