First you have to know what you're actually up against. It's not a particular human behavior that is to blame, but stupidity itself. Some people are total morons and the behavior y…

Anything social that tech enabled has become so toxic and damaging to normal f**ing human beings that i kinda wish governments step up and go full autocratic on these sites and ser…

Restricted OS like Android. Awesome hardware has been dumbed down to a pathetic handheld console, turning you into a brainless ad clicking zombie.

I wonder, is public WCs (like in the office) a potent vector for this disease?

I've seen seemingly immortal tech giants die to the newcomer, but MS's office is just too ubiquitous and embedded everywhere. So even if there's a superior excel alternative, who w…

Thing about JSON is the ease of reading and writing it, regardless the size of the document. Compression deals with the rest.

I'm not sure what to make of this as .NET is "competitor" of Jakarta EE. In quotes, because who really would prefer that to Jakarta EE/Spring...

Isn't everything produced for mass appeal algorithmic? They even have a tropes wiki. And i'd take that any day over the arthouse originals the Elevated folks spawn. At the end it's…

So you're an authority on adults and proper things to watch? Link me to the codex, must read it.

I wished Uber succeeded in my country. And by "succeeding" i mean being allowed to enter the market. Can't stand taxis.

Something like that but in the clothes of a XPS (but not as thin for the sake of thinness by sacrificing cooling). I'd eat it right away.

This is something that even my Logi MX Master mouse is unable to handle.

In a lot of cases it's pattern abuse. I'm dealing with this all the time. People like to split things that can work perfectly as one whole, just for the sake of splitting it.

And to think that all the energy that went into creating so many new DSLs could have been directed to making even more linux distributions. Such shame.

Renewables are no match and no substitution to nuclear energy. No matter how much investment you dump into renewables, their energy density will remain inferior and sooner or later…

I simply quit a job with 2 months after they pinned devops duties in addition to software development. And i've yet to be proven that this can be done by a single person.

The evolution you described happened only because the internet is freely accessible to anyone, anywhere, except if you're a communist. Reverting it back to some state you deem wort…

Total nonsense. Chernobyl was covered up by the most brutal and inhumane regime ever. It's this exact cover up and lack of responsibility that disgusted a lot people and lead to th…

I use RSS and get all my HN digest (among others) from it, including your post. I like it because it gives a very clean, simple interface to multiple sources and keeps track of wha…

That is so ironic.

I've seen absolutely ridiculous workflows on Jira. Things like - "i'm gonna make the most ridiculous workflow out of spite and boredom just to troll you." From that perspective it'…

They have their uses and misuses. People misuse them a lot, get burned, they blame them, and then they hate them. If you lack a dependency mgmt system, work mostly solo or in very …

Making sense out of things real or abstract has got to be way harder than driving. Faking sentience, on the other hand, is a neat trick with no value apart from 1 day of media fame…

AI still can't make cat from dog most of the time and fails at driving. And you're telling me it has become self-aware? It looks like a good chatbot with better training.

How far can Putin push the nuclear leverage until it's not leverage anymore?
