Roadway gluing is designed to sway public opinion -> change politics -> affect the corporations. This is designed to... affect the corporations. (Swaying public opinion could be se…

Maybe it's not. Guidelines: > Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, (...) If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

Yeah, like how developers were en-masse ditching GitHub to go to GitLab when Microsoft acquired GitHub.

People often say they'd gladly pay a bit more, but I don't think that's how they act. In the case of Ryanair, I think not using them often means that a casual weekend away could be…

Oh, don't get me started on Ryanair, but alas. You go through what seems the entire check-in process, you get what seems like a summary at the end, with a link to a UK government s…

I find it hard to judge how much, if at all, this will help, but I'm all for email being more secure, to the point that organizations (banks, governments, insurance companies) stop…

I think the layout _wants_ to look like a newspaper, but just doesn't quite end up looking like one. where a newspaper may have longer columns mixed in with shorter articles, this …

> you can use it for recurrent payment, split payments, financing, cashout and almost all things a CC can do nowadays But can credit cards really do all those things? You just entr…

That it's a fishy story?

That is certainly the point where it started to feel arbitrary for me.

>I tend to not actually read more than a 100-line markdown file I tend to not actually read more than 100-lines of anything anymore. I've long referred to myself as "the Google gen…

Maybe the buttons shouldn't be their own files, but the backend functionality certainly could be. I don't do this, but I like the idea.

I have a laptop to the side, and a bigger screen in front of me. And the laptop screen might as well be a picture frame: it adds no productivity gain, whatsoever. And it really con…

Why would it get pulled in over the weekend? What automatic deployments are you running if there also isn't a human working to get it out? Do you run automatic dependency updates o…

I came here to argue the opposite. Expressing it in seconds takes away questions about time zones and DST. I think you're incorrect to say that second are also ambiguous. Maybe wha…

How do you know? For sure, I mean?

Founders can be chasing a dream and in doing so mesmerize investors. Or they capitalize on that same dream being the investor's. Even if it's not viable, it can still be really fun…

> This isn’t whimsy Uh, yes it is? It's just whimsy with an explanation. Long live descriptive, preferably short, names.

To be pedantic some more, they used a HTTP 301 to get you to a page that uses a HTTP 200. It just _says_ "Error 451".

There's a completely unironic obituary linked from the LA Times from 1994, which makes me wonder if the scandalous meaning even existed yet in those days?

This article has the opposite effect from putting me at ease. There's no real argument in there that AGI couldn't be dangerous, it's just saying that of course we would build bette…

When you see v7 vs. V4, you'd expect the higher number to be better, hopefully better in all aspects, I wouldn't have expected such a thoughtful consideration to be required before…

API responses should be limited to authenticated users. IDs are often present in hyperlinks that are included in insecure emails, or in URLs that, being routed through all sorts of…

I have a subscription. Dang, who does every profit model have to involve ads?

Holds are a credit card feature, GVB is a Dutch transit authority, so they're more likely to be talking about bank cards, ie. debit cards, which I don't think support holds in that…
