Let the enshittification begin

This, Netflix account-sharing blocking, and the ever increasing amount of streaming platforms (that mean an overall reduced catalogue per platform) leads me to believe we will see a resurgence in piracy.

Yo, Ho, Ho :)

How many flights have you taken in your lifetime? How many children do you have? Do you eat meat? Do you use multiple monitors when a 14" one would do? Why don't you cycle instead of using an EV? Do you not use solar panels? You could apply this reductionist logic to almost everything in the world.

"Freeloading on the rest of us", "some sacrifice might be required". What a depressing, dictatorial view.

Sacrificing people doesn't seem especially kind. Be kind, eh. When it suits you, I guess.

I read your comment as: "We will succeed when we make people who own ICE car's lives harder" am I wrong to read it this way?

The only way to realistically use a non-tactile button is to take your eyes off the road to look at what you need to press. That's the issue, anything else is irrelevant. I'm glad they're going back to physical buttons, I won't buy a car that doesn't have them.

Portland was home to the UX designers who wanted to redesign everything to look nicer but didn't understand how customers used our products

I think that's every single piece of modern software to date. I call them "Dribbblrs", because it's like they take inspiriation from these websites (e.g. Dribbble) that fetishize things that look pretty but are dogshit to use. I really wish it would end but I don't see it happening unless there's a revolution from within the UX community (which I am not a part of).

Well, I'd argue that it makes the message more likely to be ignored. I think winning people over is a useful skill (not even on the internet, but in life)

Ermmm no.

Removing the snide 'Well, akshually...' remark from your comment makes you come across like a much better person.

Not utilising both cores properly on the ESP32 is a common mistake which causes this (described) behaviour https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-dual-core-arduino-ide/

Doesn't it? :)

Making a calculator is one of the things I do when I learn a new language, and I always end up using this algorithm because it's the only one I know!

bluetooth headphones have a noticable delay for anyone who pays attention.

That's the point.

Isn't that going to be extremely slow? I can only realistically run 7B 5-bit models on my RTX 3060, anything more and it offloads to the CPU. My responses go from almost-instantaneous to 3mins+.

To the point the other siblings are making, you can get an app for your phone to measure luminosity, try it out on a cloudy day (like in the UK today)

Does it take into account gross upvotes, or net?

E.g. could a controversial thread (plenty of upvotes, plenty of downvotes) get pushed off the front page because it has a low upvote:comment ratio?

I get that YC probably don't want to deal with controversy, but, well this is a community, of sorts...

Discussed here also:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38514537 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38515123

Not sure why it's getting pushed off the front page when, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38515123 has 41 points and 2 hours old whereas a front-page article, e.g. https://www.historytoday.com/archive/feature/50-years-made-a... only has 57 points and is 14 hours old (as of this comment)

The inscrutability of how page ranking works in HN is increasingly a problem in my eyes. I understand it's an attempt at preventing gaming the system, but I'm not convinced it works.

"For centuries, builders tried to cut costs by limiting how much cement they used and incorporating recycled waste materials into their concrete," says Salvatore Aprea, head of the Acm research group. "The challenge now is to revive these old methods—not for financial reasons but for the sake of our planet."

I put it to you that if it was financially viable and simple ("ancient methods"), it would already be done.

Good luck to them

Dark patterns are never accidental.

How would that be obvious to anyone?

We have a dishwasher but rarely use it (only for parties, etc). Loading / unloading is surpringly time-consuming, imho washing by hand is quicker.

Something I'd consider doing if I was single would be to have two smaller dishwashers, and alternate them, and leave the clean ones in the dishwasher...

I think you should re-evaluate how you speak to people online, it is unnecesarily hostile and I guarantee you wouldn't speak to me this way in real life.

Does it matter? You're not giving the site any sensitive information.

I'm sorry you've had to go through this. Good luck, man. I hope you get what you want.

I know this is a "toy" paper, but is enough to reason as to why few use Haskell in production (ignoring the tooling issue). It's pretty gnarly even for a basic problem.

Functional programmers! Remember higher-order functions!

I didn't realise utilising HoF meant rolling your own interpreter ;).

Pure FP is very interesting, but having to write entirely without side-effects would be a real challenge for me. I use js+ramda[0], we effectively write our services as a `pipe`, you just stick in transforming fns whereever you need to, e.g.:

  const handler = pipe(
    fn1,
    fn2,
    fn3
  )(event)

My advice is instead: "Programmers! Remember to use the right tool for the job!"

My remark wasn't regarding public poo-flinging from employees to Elon, I agree, it is unprofessional and I would expect more. However, I would also expect my CEO to also not be a poo-flinging memester, too.

He sent an email out asking for employee loyalty (to him?). That is behaviour that is in line with someone who wants only sycophants. Perhaps you read it differently to me.

If the reports are to be believed, then very core teams have been fired from Twitter, core services shut down temporarily (due to ignorance).

If true, that isn't a meritocracy, to me it sounds Kafkaesque.

He seems to want only sycophants, so it's a "no" from me.

Thanks for the detailed reply, I really appreciate it! Now to go down the rabbit hole a bit more...

I don't follow, how are high voltage cables able to be thinner than low voltage cables?

Our goal is bring you the absolute goodly in really not-awful web sight design! We are setting out to NOT BREAK every single design rule imaginable! HOWEVER - BIG DISCLAIMER - we can't bring back ALL the awesome design stuff from the mid 90s - stuff that's FOR BREAUTIFUL GREAT DESIGN - because we have to basic, fundamental stuff right in order for this interweb to WORK CORRECTLY. Know what I mean?

I must be reading this differently to you, to me this is ready as heavy snark to the "Geocities was the best" crowd. Maybe I'm reading too much into it

I'm guessing this is supposed to be satire hitting back at people nostalgic for the "good old days".

It falls short in its mission. It's still more usable than Twitter.
