Email is nice. >But I don't want so many mails in my inbox Then write mail rules. It's really easy and personally I couldn't survive at work without them. That's a big part of why it's nice: You can choose how

If you pay enough attention to metapolitics it will ruin most media going back as far as the 70s even. Asimov himself was a communist and it shows in a lot of his work. I try to just ignore it.

As someone with a sailboat who sails just about every week (since I live on it and have to keep moving) I'm also having a pretty hard time understanding this one. In high winds removing the mast should make it less prone to capsizing

I can't imagine having bought one recently enough to have it still working. Those things are such garbage.

My main complaint is that on Firefox on Linux anyway they actually steal the mouse position along with keyboard focus. So if you're using something like instagram's IM it's really hard to type while getting replies.

Good riddance. As someone who still had third and even fourth places now I can focus on those.

Given some of the other scheme-like features GNUC has it's surprising they're lagging on this one.

I don't think you're interpreting those statistics correctly. Most Americans can agree climate scientists think the climate change is man made while still thinking we don't have an effect on it.

Jailing old ladies for voicing criticisms online isn't a symptom of good government.

It's very clear the future of the US looks like something between Mexico and South Africa if we don't outright have a civil war. I'd live too if I had somewhere to go.

The complaint is "if we have to put up with your crap at there should at least be a reason beyond 'just because.'" The argument you get from Google is that downloading APKs is dangerous so everyone should use the store.

>Curious as to moral in the Boeing division right now. As long as the paychecks don't bounce they're probably more worried about their individual KPI than the actual results.

You mean like most Linux distros? Yeah it's great.

This computing model generates profit for Google but doesn't result in a pleasant computing experience. Everyone short of those capable of practically building portable devices from scratch is stuck with it.

Man I miss PDAs. My dad worked for 3com so I had a palm since about when I learned to read. I was early with smartphones because I thought they'd essentially be PDAs with a modem ("They're just working out the kinks.") S

>each link on HN would have a 'bad ux flag' button Do they check the github for PRs? That might be worth learning Arc for.

I think you should really ask why you want to be here. The "tech scene" is really all online. I've lived in "tech hubs" and it's not what it looks like from the outside. Unless you plan on being homeless (which

They're jealous of the platform Apple has created where they can sell the users rather than sell software to them. This requires cryptographic hardware like the TPM. Obviously it's not going to work because the only advantage Wi

It's a little too late for it to matter. My understanding is Twitter was bought with debt secured by TSLA. If the debt gets called the stock gets liquidated regardless of Musk.

If participating doesn't help you achieve your goals why would you participate? This is a question a lot of people are unwilling to even consider. EDIT: out of replies for today, here's what I would have written. I can say as some

I'm pretty sure FreeDOS could even connect to the internet OOTB on my modern laptop via the 3g modem because of the USBDOS CDC support along with something like dospppd (the modem just speaks ppp over a usbcdc port normally even on Lin

>the money is generally used to fund the basic functioning of society and benefits all citizens That's a very bold claim. I think in most developed countries almost the opposite has been happening. In the US it's been going tow

Yeah C does not work well on these odd 8-bit ISAs. Pascal, basic, and PL/M (and fortran?) seem to have been way more common and Pascal environments on these were really on the edge of what the contemporary hardware could handle.

Financialized retirement (public or private) is pretty obviously a major part of the problem.

How much JS do you actually need? 15k is a lot of code for a static page. HN is an app/forum and only has 5k of js.

The problem is that it's declining in all the countries that have nice things like women's rights and freedom of religion while it isn't in countries where rape and violence is commonplace. The world is going to be a much les

With what army? Oh robots. That's a bold strategy. There is not will among the fighting age male population in the US to fight another war, certainly not another pointless middle eastern war. That's a good way to get the country t

It's just linear algebra and the chain rule. Both of these are taught in highschool.
