- Can you be more specific? E.g. refute something specific that the article mentions. Or are you only reacting to the title, not the article's contents?
- It's honestly a bit confusing to use words to mean things that they don't generally mean.
Retirement has the definition to stop working. One could argue that another definition may be that you reach an older age and start receiving pension payouts (regardless of whether you keep working or not).
But having a passive income alone simply doesn't mean retirement.
- Well, something fishy is going on because there is literally no way that Safari, in its entirety, is 5.1 MB. The numbers for the others app seem similarly off.
It would be really hard to believe that somehow Apple has found some magic formula to make their apps 100x smaller than Google and Microsoft.
Much more likely is that the reporting by the OS is off somehow (probably most of the app functionality is tied up in shared resources counted towards system files, and not counted towards the app's size).
With respect, I would expect more from articles posted on Hacker News. More thorough research, and in fact an answer to the question.
- What were you using before that? I never see any ad in Firefox with uBlock Origin. I can't imagine it's much of a difference experience than with Brave.
- It's telling that even Microsoft itself doesn't believe in the Microsoft Store.
- Having general knowledge about the tools you're working with is not a distraction, it's an intellectual enrichment in any case, and can be a valuable asset in specific cases.
- Since it's an AI company, and not actually doing anything by hand, it wouldn't surprise me if they came up with the name "manus" because it has "anus" in it, and then designed the hand logo due to the Latin meaning of the name. [this is a sarcasm, in case that was not clear]
- This is how we're going to destroy humankind.
- > This solves it for most, but secular society has lost any structural capability to succeed in this.
Can you explain how you see a causation between religion and marriage success?
- > I don't think people should have kids because they otherwise lack meaning
I'm past the age where I can (or rather should have) kids and I have to say, the past decade or so I'm more and more thinking that people SHOULD have kids to have (more) meaning in their life. Put it another way, I've begun thinking that having children is a nice way to have a default baseline of meaning in your life. I really see that with all my friends, who all have kids.
- As an aside, I really don't like these kinds of titles. They presume a lot about the (potential) reader without knowing anything about them. And it sounds like it's stating some kind of a fact but it really isn't. Different people are afflicted by different problems, you can't just make such a blanket statement about everyone.
- > Should only “top-level” code ever log an error? That can make it difficult to identify the low-level root causes of a top-level failure.
Some languages (e.g. Java) include a stack trace when reporting an error, which is extremely useful when logging the error. It shows at exactly which point in the code the error was generated, and what the full call stack was to get there.
It's a real shame that "modern" languages or "low level" languages (e.g. Go, Rust) don't include this out of the box, it makes troubleshooting errors in production much more difficult, for exactly the reason you mention.
- In Google Cloud Bigtable we had the issue that our domain's primary key was a sequential integer autogenerated by another app. So we just reversed it, and it distributed automatically quite nicely.
- With good helpers, it could become something as simple as
Unless I don't understand the problem correctly.key := make([]byte, 32) defer scramble(&key) // do all the secret stuff - You're right, it looks like these days you have to fill in an email address. Though any random thing can be filled in. They will send a verification code, and on the next screen you can either fill it in or click Skip in top right. Then in the preferences, it can be removed from the account. A bit annoying for sure, but still not valid email address needed.
But it is true that at any time they could make using an email address or phone number mandatory, and then creating an Advent of Code account will be gated behind that.
- > This seems to be concerning but as a Dutch person who has lived in the UK for a long time the relatively recent home-grown 'fatbike' issue seems to be a much more pressing problem for Dutch road safety than this and isn't being dealt with effectively as far as I understand.
This is the appeal to worse problems fallacy. Both are problems, both need to be addressed.
- The "etc" is pretty important here. You can log in using Reddit, and you can create a random throwaway Reddit account without filling in any other details (no email address or phone number required).
