iOS 17 isn’t out yet.

OK. Sure. It’d be better, for you, a technologically savvy receiver of email. I can’t see anyone else in the equation that stands to benefit from this. I can’t see non-tech-savvy email receivers caring much about this at all, or any of its

My first thought was “I’m totally going to turn this on on an off day”.

Time to rethink your understanding of disability.

I 100% believe that Apple is putting real effort into co-design of these features in a way that other similarly positioned companies do not. As someone with a disability, these features—even those do not cater to my disability—speak to me i

I’m a staunch unionist and whenever I happen across this subreddit it makes my blood boil. I wouldn’t take anything there seriously.

Okay, but “Surveillance and monopolies are out of control” isn’t what are talking about. Some kid’s complaint about The Man is not HN-worthy. And that’s all that you’re posing.

Here we go. American exceptionalism again. No surprise here. It isn’t done because your government is stupid and corrupt. Look at the myriad other examples of this happening in other countries.

Every Hacker News thread inevitably devolves into a conversation about the US Constitution and the Founding Fathers regardless of any attempts to stop it. The ongoing insinuation that the US is the One True Way to run a State has caused so

If anything’s true about Internet / hacker / open source culture at the time, it’s that the bar was lower for someone to have a following of devoted fetishists willing to spread the Good Word. People can call it 20/20 hindsig

And? In this hypothetical situation where they “aren’t around”, I don’t think that people searching for answers to tech support issues are high on their list of concerns, and - probably - almost certainly those of the forum members.

I picked up Little Snitch recently, after 10 or so years off it. It certainly provides value, but way way way less than I’d expected, and way way way less than it used to. Public cloud homogeneity and the ubiquity of connected applications

Bay Area life is hardly necessary and shouldn’t be taken as a given. You’re making an active decision to take the gamble on earning a lot on paper but being in a super HCOL area. I earn a comfortable amount and am likely going to retire com

It feels like you’re about to sell me your pickup artistry ebook.

This is thought-terminating. The difference between the two of you is that when you’re frustrated you’re a bit of a dick.

Be an iota more specific than that. An iota. If you can, with a straight face, I’ll eat my hat. The argument of “this doesn’t cater for the super-minority of nerdy power user ideologues”, that’s honestly not going to roll commercially, sorr

No, you’re applying a specific meaning to an inherently nebulous term, debullshitification. And honestly, I immediately knew what that meant when I read it. My preferred news source, which isn’t horrendously partisan, still has…exactly what

If you care about the accuracy of the output, don’t read news in the first place? I think you’re trumping up the impotence of this use case.

Laravel tutorials are a fruitful business because PHP still quite rightfully carries its legacy of being the noob language. I’m sure that plenty of us used PHP in the day, have been doing something else for a while, and see these HN posts f

To be blunt, you are a terrible hiring manager if your red flag is “they haven’t got an up-to-date opinion about the shitty-history language that I’m personally into”. This just sounds like PHP Stockholm syndrome with extra steps.

Cue some until-now-insulated Big Tech workers getting a huge dose of culture shock when they see how work is done somewhere without their own money printer.

Every day, somebody’s born who hasn’t seen The Flintstones. You’re old, not everyone is. Not every article is for you.

Why do type system discussions bring out this type of academic-tier absolutism? You can get immense value out of TS even if you hit eject every so often, just like you get immense value out of Rust’s memory safety even if you write unsafe

So what? Someone choosing to act based on their experience is what being experienced IS. We all do it. I do it. You do it. The grandparent comment is very conveniently particularly worded: “until it doesn’t”, with at times orders of magnit

Yep. It pretty genuinely makes me feel like I’m doing that Wrong Thing.

This is well into delusions of grandeur territory. “Engineers” are normal people. “Engineers” do all the same stuff that everyone else does. The only difference is that “engineers” bring some technical understanding to the table that might

This is just absurd, dishonest, overly emotive language, built upon sand of the parent argument that people even care about this in the first place. You aren’t a farmer and your crappy MSI consumer hardware isn’t a tractor.
