Yeah, their comment read as incredibly privileged, and that paragraph pretty much said what they didn't have to

Finally, the sheer obsession with money saddens me

You'd think they need it to live or something

is an ad to buy a MAWA hat

There's no quicker way to get me to close a tab, aside from maybe just invoking window.close() yourself

see from a mile away that this guy is trash

Actually possible, given the billboards lol

As a fan of tools like this and Eternal Jukebox, I cannot wait for the ones that have an option to request a cut specifically, like "from approximately this point, jump back to around this other point", while using the 'smart' features to line up the audio cuts (I'm sure stuff like that is built into the CC suite but I'm not springing that kind of money to recut a few of my tunes for personal listening ).

With Eternal Jukebox I was able to emulate it by setting the jump percent very high manually at the right time (but had to be paying attention + had to get lucky with which branch it took), whereas here I'll see if I can get it going by calculating what the cut I want would set the song length to, and requesting that length and fewest cuts. (Edit: didn't work)

Sometimes the simplest features are the easiest to overlook but most useful

Over the last couple years, authorization (AKA “authz”) has become a hot topic of debate. Proponents of various authz frameworks, libraries, and philosophies have voiced their opinions on how it should be implemented, jockeying for position to become the de facto way to implement authz

As a developer of a tiny internal webapp - this is fascinating to read! I like to keep things as simple as possible, but as with anything our scope and use cases have grown over time.

Our authzn can handle some of this stuff - our rules, built atop our org's existing IAM, are very similar to these directed relationship tuples - but as we need to grow that out any further I'm excited to look into which aspects of ReBaC we're still missing.

Thanks for the link!

This one takes the cake. They're dangling a carrot: hey, any low-ranked mod interested in taking over the subreddit for yourself? And they're still insulting everyone's intelligence

It's transparent, sure, but it doesn't mean it won't be effective. They're counting on a few people's greed plus most people's apathy.

reddit seems happy to go all in on the low-effort content mill market, and those users are the kind to get more upset over the protest than losing nice third-party apps or tools.

Those 2,000 people are influencing what half a billion monthly active users think/believe

I'm not aware of reddit's admins having a large hand in curating site content, though I also haven't been heavily into reddit for a while.

I have a bit of nostalgia for all those 'share' buttons you'd see lined up on blog posts back in the day.

God, thank you. It's the absolute lowest-hanging fruit.

Microsoft

Good joke. MS has always been in the 'incompetent evil' quadrant, Newcomers just keep inexplicably giving them the benefit of the doubt or assuming/insisting they've "changed".

You get only one preview, so if you miss that exact match by even one character, you’re on a wild goose chase

Which has done wonders for my memory :D

(You _can_ cycle through past entries, but will check this out as list does sound way better + the menus people are describing here sound interesting)

For me it was Google Talk. It hit the sweet spot of a lightweight chat app that didn't take any configuration or convincing for my non-techie friends. I still miss it.

There seem to be two kinds of people: ones who see the mistakes ChatGPT makes and the ones who don’t

Agreed; it quickly became apparent once I found myself entering the 'seeing its rough edges' camp.

Once you've _tried_ breaking it and can see the limits of an LLM you'll find yourself wishing for an AI assistant, but knowing what is and isn't possible makes managing one's expectations with new technologies easier.

I'm still generally an optimist with these new techs because they're still very cool and potentially useful interfaces to existing technologies, but I agree with you in that it's too easy to get caught up deferring to it like it's some techie oracle (and that the tendency for people to want to do so is concerning).

I used to think people wouldn't "simply accept" the types of systems in _Minority Report_ or _Psycho-pass_, to the extent that I found it to be immersion-breaking. But, concerningly, it seems folks are happy and willing to give up that deference (in what's probably a well-studied sociological observation I'm simply unaware of the term for). Scary stuff.

the magical sequence of fellow accounts

You're just describing being well connected, which is nothing new. It's not 'a magical sequence of accounts', it's being part of a community.

if you're in XYZ group you'll get proper treatment

This still beats "XYZ group" - in this case, someone who is

stressed about the situation and being without electricity due to the war

being ignored by us as well as by the company that's meant to be the middleman (to clients who had no issue paying them directly - so clearly a problem with UW and not any other party)

I "deserve" to get screwed

No one does, which is the point. Highlighting when companies' customer service fails users (and how they deal with it - sweeping the pattern under the rug versus resolving to address it) helps people make informed decisions about the companies they do or don't choose to work with.

While 'anecdata', it's still a more far useful metric to me than advertising in picking who I support, as patterns tend to arise (both positive and negative!) resulting from a company's culture.

The list could go one,

I'd hope it at least reached two or three :thinking:

Bingo, all we have to do is map every valid sentence to valid LaTeX :D

The reason we don't see our own typos is because what we see on the screen is competing with the version that exists in our heads

Which is why reading text backwards can help to find typos, or so I've heard. (Typos tend to jump out at me, even in my own writing.)

I don't think you can fairly compare XP and Windows 11 given how much more Windows 11 does than XP

Considering how much work it took to get wrangle 10 LTSE into a usable Win environment I'd much prefer the simple OS that stayed out of my hair than one that "does so much more" I didn't ask for.

I hope someday software is regulated as tightly as other consumer goods. Abusing one's position as the issuer of security updates to force choices, undesired changes, and bloat down user's throats shouldn't be possible; users should have the option to separate the two.

I'm aware that that seems like a tall ask given the state of "modern" software development, but that's its own can of worms.

For me it's more like "Do I want to waste time dredging this info back up in case they ever get breached", to which the answer is almost always "No".

The only thought it would require would be thought they should have been putting into their fetching strategy in the first place.

Try having it block subsequent requests for EasyList itself

Now you're thinking with portals

Incumbency

Have you tried copy/pasting from teams to another application, or especially code snippets?

Pasting in teams is hilarious. I think when I last tried they were using contenteditable, as formatting that should not have carried over did so, along with the indentation going haywire on paste.

They probably have a good idea of what those profiles look like, even if they don't already know you work in healthcare.

I don't understand how the HN crowd that is usually so pro-environment, is also happy with the tons of wasted energy from crytptocurrency mining

Iirc that's one of the points of proof-of-stake. PoS is nearly analogous to PoW in its platform implications - potential for centralization due to resource costs and so on - but doesn't rely on burning through processing power to be secured.

Hiya jedberg, unrelated typo on cloudnative.io

under the yeobot description: it's -> its* ("run on it's own")

Cheers :)

Turns out those folks in the 1984 commercial were just economically like-minded individuals who decided on conformance as an ideal for mass-producable lifestyle goods with a collectively minimized footprint

and that regrettably misguided soul was disrupting their crowdfunded marginal-cost movie night

:(

getting the feel for design/architecture of medium-sized systems

Yes. This is exactly the kind of thing I was once looking for, only I didn't know how best to phrase at the time. Think I've since found some of the details I needed then, but will look into these nonetheless and see what I missed, if anything.

Thanks!

If the problems were solved for people on native, there wouldn't be this much focus on reinventing the wheel on mobile.

Clearly for some subset of people, "something" is missing for those native solutions (I can guess - portability, convenient 'moddability', etc) which they believe the standardization-reliant web can better address for them.
