I struggle with the idea you can choose your eyes and "see" things.

Close my eyes and it's just just black (well, technically eigengrau but everyone calls it black)

I'd very much like to have that ability. It sounds like cheating!

You post it on HN to get invaluable comments like yours. Good writeup!

I like the moaning sound the EULA makes when it gets violated.

Could this somehow turn into criminal case against actual people in charge at Amazon?

I like the somewhat minimalistic style of this. However I think you might need to be some sort of delayed gratification masochist to thoroughly enjoyed it!

I heard Anna's Archive might have SD Specifications.

It would be interesting to see comparison where the default outcome is the opposite.

The prisoner is in prison and will continue to be in prison.

So might the outcome be different if the prisoner was doing to be set free unless judges argued why he was still going to be in prisoned.

It's probably way complicated though.

There, there.

Also sniffing them.

Much better name.

It's very formally called Cross Fork Object Reference (CFOR). But commonly known as Git Forked! (Including the exclamation mark).

Timekeeping is hard enough already. Let's leave the aliens aspect out of it.

In the linked article they talk about how Google reverted their crap detector to intentionally feed users low quality results.

But you're still right that there's so much garbage out there. Google had it largely under control though.

How do they test this stuff? Acceptance/integration testing?

It's has to be the understatement of the century to call what CrowdStrike did "shipping a bug."

It has been intentionally vandalized.

Interesting. Do you know if it affects it's anti-rust properties after you work it / make it martensite?

It's a stretch at best to call "Considered Harmful" in this context a snowcone.

He didn't say it was irrelevant.

If you're not Dijkstra then you're considered harmful if you steal his valor in your title.

> Unfortunately nothing opt in ever gets wide adoption

Sharing your host's WiFi password with all your contacts should never get a wide adoption. It should never be an option anyway.

It shows Microsoft's astonishing ignorance of security.

UML had the idea. But instead of focusing on the visual aspect they went bananas on trying to turn it into some sort of a programming language.

Also the design tools for it were hilariously expensive and notoriously cumbersome.

My comment was much more of a philosophical question than a hard criticism on the current system.

Yes I know why it is the way it is. But if you read your comment and your credentials you'll get the gist of what I'm thinking.

> I want JS projects that don't break 6 months after the last build

I was somewhat recently trying to get a 3 year old JS project working. I felt like I was alone in an Egyptian pyramid wondering if I had missed the funeral.

I sometimes wonder how western music notation would look like if it were designed from scratch today with all the knowledge we have today.

It feels like the current system is the Imperial system and somewhere ought to be the SI metric system.

I refer to my previous statement.

Apple lost a class action in the US and there is another UK class action pending.

The Apple PR people are reaching pretty low trying to deny this ever happened.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-67911517

Apple slowed down old phones with old batteries.

Apple is the only malicious perpetrator here. For many years they had specifically denied that they were doing this. That is malicious and borderline criminal damage.

Then when they got caught they came up with plausible deniability. It was evil, it was dishonest and it was awful.

> But for reasons that experts say remain unclear, that never happened.

It's very clear why. Don't think for a second this is accidental, it's way, way to high profile for that.

It's damage control. Microsoft feels it's better for them to take the blame for not investing rather than exposing their awful or even sinister practices.

This is why "Adverse inference" is a thing in court. If you destroy or refuse produce evidence that the judge knows you have, the judge can rule based on what he thinks is in that evidence. That certainly won't be in your favour.

Didn't Apple stop slowing people's old phones down when they were caught a few years ago? That probably plays a factor.

I don't know if it's just me but vscode feels like it isn't as fast as it used to be. The terminal also keeps getting messed up on Linux.

Will definitely try one this out!

Although the amount of plugins and community knowledge of vscode is immense.
