emsy··on Modern iOS Navigation Patterns
It is literally just one qualification, which doesn't even apply because why would the "back to previous app" button show when you're in the same app. In the meantime you haven't mentioned one inconsistency yourself. If you like discussions with made up arguments may I suggest you check out reddit?
emsy··on Modern iOS Navigation Patterns
That's just not true.
emsy··on Meta (Facebook / Instagram) to move to a “Pay for your Rights” approach
That’s right, I would certainly wait a couple of years, if they even pivot. The recent demo with avatars looked pretty cool though.
emsy··on Meta (Facebook / Instagram) to move to a “Pay for your Rights” approach
This would actually make me use Facebook again, if they can get me to trust them. Their new Metaverse stuff looks interesting.
emsy··on EU tells Apple to open everything up to its rivals
How about not installing them at all?
emsy··on Block the Blue – Twitter Verified Blocker
As others stated, people with low quality tweets can pay to shove them in your face. I would pay for Twitter if I could rate tweets and adjust my feed accordingly.
emsy··on Is Germany once again the sick man of Europe?
I’d argue you can get by with English in any bigger city and most higher ed jobs.
emsy··on Disney, Netflix, and more are fighting FTC's 'click to cancel' proposal
How about just not using those options?
emsy··on Why Physicists Tried to Put a Ferret in a Particle Accelerator
To check if it’s ferret magnetic?
emsy··on Research Finds Women Are Advantaged in Being Hired in Academic Science
In general, men are over represented at the extreme ends of performance, good and bad. If women excel in school that is an indicator of a bias against men.
emsy··on The hypergamy hypothesis: much more than you wanted to know
>That is not a behavior specific to women.

And people seek young partners with large breasts. That's not a behavior specific to men. How many men do you know that look for a woman with money?

emsy··on Ableton Push 3
I'm sceptical. I own a Push 2 and the build quality is not terrible, but not awesome either. For example, every knob has a different resistance (how hard it is to turn) and sensitivity (how much you have to turn to change a parameter).
emsy··on Suspicious iOS KeePass Client
What arbitrary binary are you talking about? This is about an open source project.
emsy··on Suspicious iOS KeePass Client
You just made the case for how sideloading can be more secure than a centralized App Store.
emsy··on Don Knuth plays with ChatGPT
There are better examples. >Stop apologizing >I’m sorry… These scenes exist in movies for a reason.

(And people randomly fucking up in traffic happens too).

emsy··on Do the weirdest thing that feels right
Says guy in HN comments
emsy··on Heavy marijuana use increases schizophrenia in men, study finds
At least for schizophrenia, the data backs it up. The rates are unbelivebly stable, regardless of drug use (which varies much more per country or over time than the rates of schizophrenia).
emsy··on The unintentional dystopian beauty of oil rigs
It really is not. There’s a difference in seeking improvement in a system in which you participate and the current mainstream nihilism that demonizes our past achievements and seeks its destruction.
emsy··on Guess the Game
The "Skip" button should be on a different location. Clicked it accidentialy because I wanted to change the pictures.
emsy··on Cryptocurrencies add nothing useful to society, says chip-maker Nvidia
There are people that still have their accounts frozen because they donated to the truckers in Canada. That’s insane. Other countries had or will have similar cases in the future. We absolutely should have a way to exchange money without the governments involvement. The government already has the monopoly on physical force. That ought to be enough. So yes, there is a use case. But you’re correct in that it hasn’t really been used that way so far.
emsy··on Tell HN: Please stop blocking my form submissions with client-side validations
The problem is not the validation but how it’s handled. A client should allow any input to the server and just inform the client that it‘s erroneous. If the input isn’t valid the server will know it. If not that’s a bug.
emsy··on Amazon shuts newspaper and magazine subscriptions for Kindle and print
In other words they’re begging to be regulated.
emsy··on Sam Bankman-Fried accused of possible witness tampering [pdf]
There‘s a famous black person that got away with murder. How did he do it? Here’s a hint: the crucial element isn’t skin color.
emsy··on Apple attempting to stop investigation into its practices involving browsers
> Hey, sorry but we can’t sell you toothbrush because you’re using Safari/Firefox/Vivaldi/whatever.

Don’t buy there. This has nothing to do with chrome.

emsy··on A different approach to building C++ projects
The problem is not the build system, it's projects that are seemingly enjoying complexity.
emsy··on Apple HomePod 2nd Generation
The HomePod is the worst Apple product I’ve ever owned, especially for what it’s supposed to do. I need to restart it every few days to even be able to connect to it and playing music with Siri stopped working a few months ago. It also mixes up HomeKit devices that don’t sound similar at all.
emsy··on Apple TV prompt requires another Apple device
Apple became an accountant led company. It’s no longer about the best customer experience, just money. I’m quite fond of the old old Apple.
emsy··on Woman ordered to repay $2k after her employer used software to track her time
Sounds like every white collar job ever, she was just unlucky she got caught.
emsy··on Reverse Engineering TikTok's VM Obfuscation (Part 2)
Apple has previously banned Apps for their backend content if they didn't like it. It's just that TikTok is too big and Apple is full of shit.
emsy··on Modern C for C++ peeps (2019)
I think you don't understand why typedef is used for structs in C and what do struct wrappers have to do with typedefs? It seems to me you don't understand what is being said here.
