While economy and consumerism are destroying our planet, we are complaining about the UX of an emergency call.. In other news stories I see participants of Extinction Rebellion being arrested by police as if they were criminals, while tempe

Especially the tests should prove it. In almost none of the comments I see thorough testing is taken into consideration. No IDE can replace good tests today AFAIK.

I assume the amount of HN articles per day has increased over the years since 2007 along with the growth of HN popularity. So, when I see a trend in some subject would it take that into account? Otherwise it could easily not be a trend but

Whatever words you use, it simply conflicts with basic JS and is a serious flaw. const cat = new Cat(); if (cat instanceof Dog) console.log('this should never be possible!'); What is this strange protective behavior towa

Because the UX suffers from UI design that is driven by marketing. UI design should be driven by a passion to create the best UX, but that's almost impossible in this $$$ world..

2 things come to mind here: A leopard cannot change its spots. Confidence comes on foot but goes on horseback I moved to FF + Duckduckgo engine a while ago, it will be extremely hard for them to win me back.

I moved back to linux (fedora) a while ago, what a relief and what a joy it is compared to Windows. I use Firefox with duckduckgo search engine, no pages full of ad results like with google nowadays. I cannot think of 1 single reason to ins

Our school system.. We don't dare to be honest we do not know stuff. For our entire youth we are punished for that with bad figures and bullying. Therefore the picture at the top of the article is so fitting. Especially lots of people

Planting trees is good, but it won't solve our problems. It would be nice if governments first halt and prohibit the destruction of our existing forests in case that happens for a profit. Same counts for all other resources like gas, o

Totally second this. I see novice web developers writing in Typescript in an effort to be more type save and at the same time using hundreds of npm packages that are often written by amateurs that make basic mistakes. Just take an average s

No, not by their actions of course. It happens because of the lack of appropriate actions by them. Governments should anticipate on future events pointed out by science. And that is what they did not. All I see is business as usual.

The keeping safe argument from government is indeed preposterous. As if that was their mission to keep us safe. Why are they allowing our nature to be destroyed in favor of money/economy? This years heatwaves killed many thousands of p

You are right about the Whales. I think regulation should prevent massive mining factories, which would also greatly reduce the risk for a 50% attack. Mining should only be allowed for individuals with a certain maximum hash rate so more pe

The idea is great. But the low quality of many code examples puts me off. For me it would only work if the examples shown are made by a selection of top level developers. Then it would be really nice actually. About the site design, the lit

I moved away from web development after many years of full-stack development. It almost totally destroyed the joy I had in programming. - happy Agile team? That alone will cost you 2 days of work per week due to meetings, planning etc..

I really hoped their focus would be on making an even better keyboard than the one in MBP 2015, and of course the return of at least the physical escape key.. But to be honest, I gave up all hope on that. They destroyed the MBP, making it a

It's not that I don't understand it, it's just very confusing for anyone hearing that for the first time. Is it freeware? No, it's like free speech not free beer. Come on, we can do better.

'as free speech, not as free beer', to explain what is actually meant with 'free software' doesn't cut it for me. Why not just call it open source and pick the license you prefer? With all respect for Richard Stallm
