YouTube shorts baffle me, in a way. "We've spent 20 years developing the perfect user interface for watching videos...now let's throw it all away and remove almost every feature so that it's more like TikTok."

> It looked like a Google Drive link

No it didn't. It starts with "sites.google.com"

Personally, I have about a dozen related RFCs on my bookmarks toolbar due to a project that I worked on. I was referencing them constantly when I was actively working on that project.

Calling this "a bit of a slip-up" while neither confirming nor denying the presence of malware is weird at best and incredibly suspicious at worst.

> HN has the same problem reddit does in that a voting system in general necessarily introduces censorship and lack of diversity of discussion.

The alternative is to be like 4chan, though. I'll begrudgingly admit that there are pros, but the cons definitely outweigh them.

Chiropractic, as a field, was created by someone who was adamant that he got the idea from a ghost during a seance. He then claimed to cure someone's deafness via spinal manipulation.

Just go to a massage therapist or a physical therapist (depending on your actual needs).

I've been working on building something using a Daisy Seed lately. Pretty amazing that I can have interesting sounds (and effects) generated in just ~200 lines of C++.

And you're absolutely right about the documentation.

> Again, that's most frequently called becoming a nurse practitioner.

Personally, I would always rather see a physician due to how much more training/experience they have. A physician who's out of residency will have gotten at least 3 years of on the job training (after medical school). A nurse practitioner may have just gotten their BSN and then gone straight into an NP program without ever working a single day as a nurse.

But yes, you're right, this person is absolutely describing NPs.

> You won’t reduce quality that much if you have a smart person looking at your medical problems.

I think you're vastly underestimating the complexity of the human body and the amount of education necessary to do a good job as a physician.

What would you define as "a formal medical background?" Schooling? The schooling that nurses and physicians receive is very different.

> Increase nurses, allow them to get promoted to doctors.

I think this sentence shows that you don't really understand the difference between the two jobs. Nurses and physicians have wildly different training/education. There are things about the body that any first year medical student could tell you, that nurses never learn even after decades of experience (because they don't need to).

> I learned software pretty much by being put into it and forced to learn.

And how many people are at risk of dying if you screw up at your job? My guess is exactly 0.

Maybe by Manjaro's maintainers, but certainly not by Arch's. I've been using Arch for a little over a decade. The position that I've always seen in the official IRC channel is that forks such as Manjaro are explicitly not Arch.

Here's one of the oldest versions of the "Arch-based distributions" page on the wiki. It has a notice at the top that says that forks are not supported by the community or developers: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Arch-based_distri...

Manjaro is not Arch, and its maintainers have repeatedly shown that they aren't very good at maintaining a distro: https://github.com/arindas/manjarno

> Warp started well

Did they? Their original product was a terminal emulator, with built-in telemetry, that required you to create an account to use.

Maybe already had the implementation ready because of EU regulations?

> overseeing 0 people is great. I'm not likely to take any position where I have to oversee more or less than that;

I would have so many questions if I got an offer for a position where I had to oversee less than 0 people

Richard Stallman has spent basically his entire career trying to convince people that all software should be free as in freedom, so that people truly control the devices that they own--preventing things like Google being able to lock users out of the ability to install applications on a device that they purchased.

Read up on the principles of the Free Software Foundation if you want all the details.

"I violated the CFAA, likely committing several misdemeanors or felonies in the process, wrote up a detailed account of what I did (complete with screenshots), and then posted the account on the internet."

For the author's sake, I really hope they don't live in the USA.

Huh, I actually expected there to be a bigger team working on it. In that case: I'm really impressed.

My quick skim of Wikipedia may not be telling the complete story, but it says the initial release was 9 years ago (February 2016). After nearly a decade, I would hope that things would be out of "extreme beta mode," but I guess this isn't the case?

I know I'm about to show my ignorance regarding GUI programming here, but: would SDL2 be a suitable choice? Or would that be too low-level? Or just...the wrong sort of library?

I like Linux because it gives me the freedom to make my system behave how I want. The GNOME devs seem to think that GNOME should only behave how they want. For example, last time I checked, GNOME required a third-party plugin just to move the clock from the center of the status bar to the side.

I'm not at all surprised to see that this mindset extends to GTK.

I would genuinely love to hear your specific complaints about Go's syntax.

Just because the Go maintainers think it's in an okay state doesn't mean the wider community won't have good ideas on how to improve it.

Pizza with classes?

This comment inspired me to click the link and listen to the song. Wow, that was terrible. It's like it had all the individual components of a fast-paced blues/rock song, but they were put together by someone who had no idea of how music actually worked.

And those guitar solos were terrible.

Would it be physically possible to play? Yeah, probably. But it sounds terrible, and if I heard a band do it live, I would genuinely consider walking out of the venue.

There's also a solo tabletop RPG that someone made about it: https://x.com/Sotherans/status/1513210507506954250?lang=en

Someone actually did this already as an art project: https://bjoernkarmann.dk/project/paragraphica
