   the vast majority of web users arent technical like HN readers. especially boomers, they actively solicit ad's to tell them what to buy.

   yeah no footage of the system in operation, no demo reel. seems like a feelgood measure. even if such footage existed and was real the things you mention would be cheap and easy.

   I was going to try and resist posting for as long as possible in 2026 (self dare) and here I am on day 1 -- this is a pretty bad idea. are you going to trust the llm to write software you depend on with your life? your money? your whatever?

   While this issue is up, I've recently been looking for an alternative to vscode for personal use because it runs so slow now with a few other programs running in the background. My main requirement is copy paste needs to be ctrl+c, ctr

   time marches forward but instead of progress we go backwards. expect to write your own software on limited resources like its 1990 again.

   As a native english speaker, i did try to learn german but eventually gave up. A language sprinkled with "learn by wrote" gender prefixes for every item is just not worth learning. I did have an issue with the numbers being back t

   you can just disagree with reasons rather than this performative rhetoric. your post makes me realise i was wrong to tease people about rust the other day -- apologies for that. edit: changed "ad hominem" to "performative rhe

    People like this really are at the mercy of fate, and the people they come into contact with throughout their lives. Its so unfair. But thankfully this story had a good outcome. Happy Christmas to you and everyone else here as well :)

    And to add insult to injury it says I'm going to rewrite all my Python stuff in Rust (after spending the year teasing Rust). I got a good giggle from the comic book summary -- thanks for making this.

    ok, as a privacy enthusiast, some people just dont get it, and they never will. what you need to do is not discuss anything you dont want broadcast with them... ever. im even thinking of using edge or chrome so i look like a normie in a sea

    One solution would be for the SE's to publish their scraper IP's and allow content providers to implement bot exclusion that way. Or even implement an API with crypto credentials that SE's can use to scrape. The solution is w

    some of the descriptions above of thoughtful supportive work places where people are free to explore different ideas and question assumptions sound like paradise.

    as soon as ublock goes, firefox goes.. more anonymity that way anyway since being a firefox user already makes me stand out from the crowd.

    my view for a long time has been that the usa is a net importer of talent and ideas. that its cheaper to have someone spend 20 odd years training in another country and then just lure them in with the promise of big $... isnt that how its b

    tcl/tk in python is boring but gets the job done, and its not that hard to customise buttons with a canvas if you really want. i think its underrated.

    What I dont like about computer todo or task lists is that they kind of describe you pretty well to prying eyes. As a privacy enthusiast im not that keen on having that info get out, especially with recall and possibly multiple other ai age
