buzzwords··on Israel passes law denying naturalization to Palestinian spouses
Is this true? I've seen Christian (Arminian) and Muslim couples in Iran.
buzzwords··on Israel passes law denying naturalization to Palestinian spouses
I think anytime there is post on this lots of down voting and canned responses are posted. That's from both sides. I'm not sure what the solution is but I can't imagine any real conversation happening without one side or the other "keyboard warriors" derailing the conversation.
buzzwords··on Steam Deck reports are here
I wonder if rise of Linux gaming will force Nvidia to change its ways
buzzwords··on Steam Deck reports are here
I am a big Linux fan but not a gamer. Let me ask all the gamers here, what is currently making Linux not suitable for your gaming?
buzzwords··on Learning from Marble Arch Mound
I live maybe 20 mins walk from this place. And I live in Westminster. WCC has a habit of using really awful contractors. So the impact of FM Conway (only seen them do road work) should not be underestimated.

However based on this article "The idea was to make the area simultaneously green, smart, and sustainable." These are just buzzwords put together, it means nothing. WCC seems like didn't know what they wanted so they went over to these guys with buzzwords check list. And mvrdv just accepted the project for whatever reason (I'm sure good reasons) where they should have asked way more questions to understand what these guys actually wanted.

buzzwords··on Try Clojure – An interactive tutorial in the browser
Oh very good, I love this comment.
buzzwords··on Try Clojure – An interactive tutorial in the browser
I would love to work with clojure. I thought there were opportunities for to work on a clojure project in my previous company. But I was told that no one likes to work on these products hence why they moving away from clojure and rewriting everything in java or scala. I wish I could tell you exactly why they hated it, I never got an answer. Speaking to some of the individuals, they thought it came down to tooling, no career benefits and some people really missed types.
buzzwords··on Music theory for nerds (2016)
I have always struggled to learn music theory. If anyone has a good source please let me know.
buzzwords··on Ask HN: Why is Firefox losing marketshare and how would you save it?
Wow, there seem to be quite negative sentiment towards the CEO. How is was she selected? What would be a better way of selecting CEO for Mozilla?
buzzwords··on JRE Missing (Rogan episodes removed by Spotify)
I maybe wrong, but when the move was announced, he did say they have agreed no episodes will be removed
buzzwords··on Spotify deletes 70 Joe Rogan episodes
The real issue is that no matter what, we were not allowed to hear from individuals because some people think their views are harmful to us.

He would have always be reliant on others who can be put under pressure to remove jre from their platform

buzzwords··on Spotify deletes 70 Joe Rogan episodes
Open Web is truly dead. It's such a shame too. Learning other people's view, even if you don't agree with them is an important part growing.

I have to say, I am quite resentful of people now. Because there was such amazing tool that you could learn other people's view and thoughts and a handful of loud mouths killed it.

buzzwords··on JRE Missing (Rogan episodes removed by Spotify)
Isn't this a beach of contract? Unless jr approved the move
buzzwords··on Reading on smartphone affects sigh generation, brain activity, and comprehension
I wonder if there is some sort of trade off (cognitively speaking).
buzzwords··on Apple removes Python 2.7 in macOS 12.3 beta
But xattr is opensource, Apple didnt want to invest some engineering time and effort to upgrade those packages?
buzzwords··on Apple removes Python 2.7 in macOS 12.3 beta
Anyone know the real reasons why this took such a long time? If it wasn't priority why?
buzzwords··on Adblocking Does Not Constitute Copyright Infringement, Court Rules
I have very little knowledge of how legal systems work.

Can someone explain what happens when a company as large as this decides to file such a law suit?

Is it such low costs that you might as well just argue whatever you want and see what happens? Or are there internal teams counter arguing to check validity of such law suit?

buzzwords··on Israel police uses NSO’s Pegasus to spy on citizens
Whenever Israel is involved in anything unfortunately the discussion becomes about anti semitism (sometimes rightly and sometimes wrongly). Maybe it helps if we imagined it was another nation and then see what we think about it. If it was Russia/china or UK/France/Germany would you still think or feel the same?
buzzwords··on Israel police uses NSO’s Pegasus to spy on citizens
Nope, if majority believe A, doesn't make A true. It just means majority believe A. Public opinion is very malleable. Hence the existence of marketing.
buzzwords··on It’s great to be a consultant
Not quite the same thing, but I'll be joining a consultancy firm soon hoping I'll get more exposure to different techs.
buzzwords··on Poll: Why are people leaving their jobs?
Reading the comments here is quite fascinating. I have handed in my notice too for similar reasons.

I took this job with a pay cut so that I can do more coding as my previous experience was mostly support.

But after two years I haven't done that much coding.

Currently I wear too many hats too, and very little experience in any one them.

buzzwords··on I think I know why you can't hire engineers right now
I have to disagree with a little bit with this article.

For one everyone is looking to hire talent but not develop them. This means that most companies don't have talent development plan.

There are huge amount of engineers who have kids and mortgage that they need to pay off, so for the right price they will work on any none cool tech.

buzzwords··on Make the internet yours again with an instant mesh network
No, they cut out the internet entirely.
buzzwords··on Make the internet yours again with an instant mesh network
Would this be useful to people in countries like Iran, where the internet is restricted and completely cut out whenever the government needs to shut people up?
buzzwords··on CSS Zen Garden: A demonstration of what can be achieved through CSS-based design
CSS is one of those things that every time I have to use it, I have to relearn it.
buzzwords··on The mother of all crashes is coming and it won’t be fun
The only thing I would say is that goverments have only so many levers they could pull and some of those are already to pulled close to their max capacity.
buzzwords··on AWS Tools Suck
So how does this work? Features are delivered then another team adds capabilities to the cli/console?

Say the eks team responsible to deliver a cli/console tooling?

It's an interesting problem to solve. Any insight on how to go about managing this is greatly appreciated.

buzzwords··on Ask HN: Why have we accepted the cookie pop-up situation across the web?
I think the cookies acceptance should be done by browser settings.
buzzwords··on Ten years of experience, still failing phone screens
Quite honestly, if the job description says "we are looking for the best of the best" or "we are looking for a talented java developer" I know this job isn't for me. Same with algorithm questions, if the interviewer asks me an algorithm question, I will switch off and politely put a cross that this role isn't for me. I don't have cs background and my CV is clear that I've not done anything like that.

Edit: I am not a great coder by any means. I just don't like to waste my time when it's clear I am not a fit for the company or the role.

buzzwords··on Bumble claims IP rights on employee's open-source libs
That's the worst part of it. The move has very little benefit for them.
