It really is not, not sure what OP is on about.

Rest of the world: most of us figured out how to use credit as a tool without tumbling into a spending pit. Takes a bit of discipline, sure but not impossible.

"I use debit because I can manage my finances" reads as "I don't trust myself with credit." If credit is a trap you have to avoid, that's not the flex you think it is.

It's a tool. Some people use it. Some people are scared of it.

It's so bad I will be looking at moving off Hetzner at this point. 3x is too much.

I honestly forgot about Sora until this post, and yeah same behavior played with it for a bit, then moved on with my life.

I'm in a hiring position, and I would blacklist any candidate that wasted my time like this.

It's childish and just adds to the current state of Gen Z making it impossible to hire them (and then complaining they can never find a job).

This is an unacceptable interviewing posture. As a Bar Raiser (or whatever your equivalent is) with authority over interview standards and interviewer eligibility, I’d pull you from loops for retraining. Repeat it, and you’re removed from interviewing.

Show the fact that the EU made the decision to not have this feature instead of apple.

It is thanks to EU regulations, which are literal facts in front of us. That’s why the feature isn’t shipped in the EU, because of EU’s own choices. At this point it’s clear you’d rather ignore that, so no reason to keep engaging. One last time: this is on the EU, not Apple.

The rise of retro computing and gaming is wonderful thing.

You’re free to have that feeling but that’s not the facts.

One last time: this is on the EU, not Apple. The feature works everywhere else. You’re mixing up feelings with facts, and it shows in this rant. Take a breather.

You can blame the EU for that, not Apple.

I'm still sad what they did to the Mailbox app...

Honestly glad to see this has sparked larger talks about this again. Surprised to see Valve is just now getting impacted by this.

If Arch is too "inconvenient" as a daily driver, you might find yourself more at "home" on a Windows install instead.

It's always a great way to get a better understanding of things but at least just poking around assembly a bit once. You do not have to make a project or anything big, but do not be afraid to check it out.

Hah oh my this was on the wrong HN article I had open. Thank you so much for kindly pointing that out.

(oh no this was on the wrong comment and alas past the delete window ha).

It's unclear to me that you need to pay more than $150K total compensation for a good SW engineer.

I, and many good or great SWE's, wouldn't even begin to entertain such a low offer. Your numbers are a little off.

You bypass it by installing Firefox.

I also have the shades, I love the entire Lutron system.

My Meross plugs have been very stable. Have not had to reset them, reconfigure them, rehome them, re-pair them, etc.

For light switches I tell everyone I know it is either LUTRON or nothing. Your time is not worth messing with anything else, and Lutron has been in the game long enough they have demonstrated commitment to their products. Finally, my Lutron system has been one of the few IoT devices I have ever had that was truly "set and forget". Once the Lutron switches and shades were bound, they have been perfect ever since for me.

That’s one way to frame it, but it’s missing the power imbalance. Loveable was the smaller party here, Figma suddenly turned hostile when their success overlapped with a feature Figma hadn’t monetized yet.

“Used the moment” sounds a lot like surviving a punch and then asking for help. If you think that’s scheming, maybe revisit who threw the first punch.

Don't forget how Figma bullied Loveable from being able to use "dev mode" [1].

I felt so cool after passing Sniper School, then you could pick that role in matches.

What are folks using (beyond a regular mail client like Thunderbird) to back up Gmail boxes?

Honestly yeah, it seems like a great experience since you have a more-engaged student group.
