- cloudfudgeYou're making the same point as the person you're responding to. They're saying seniors are allowed to ask dumb questions. It's junior who are often afraid to do so.
- It's rust compiled to wasm. Dude's got a lot of interesting stuff on his projects page: https://mikail-khan.com/portfolio
- On the other hand, if you are communicating with a bunch of people who share that primary domain, it can be a useful way of making a point.
(unless that primary domain tends to attract a lot of people who tend to the hyper-literal /s)
- > The fabrication technology doesn't matter. The qualification process, on the other hand ...
Well, yes, but... In this case the fabrication technology and the lack of qualification process likely go hand in hand. They wouldn't have a qualification process unless they were manufacturing enough of these that plastic 3d printing wouldn't be cost effective. The shortcut is the point.
- The lesson here is that one should never attempt analogies on HN, because people can't just relax and try to see the point of the analogy. They are compelled to fixate on the fact that an analogy is different from the thing it is being compared to.
I see multiple examples of it in this thread.
- I enjoyed ruby as a language for a while, but the one truly maddening aspect of it is that (as of 10 years ago anyway) nobody actually wrote threadsafe gems (because everyone was writing for Rails, which was single-threaded). That and the rampant monkeypatching that made the standard library hard to count on. These are the things that make it feel really "unserious" to me. I have no idea if these complaints are still current, though. I assume thread safety has been tackled at the very least.
- Maybe I'm odd, but even for stuff I use like gmail, desktop notifications have always been a hard no for me. But those examples at least make sense. It's absolutely baffling to me that anyone would allow it for something like CNN, or basically 99% of websites.
- Has anyone in the history of mankind ever clicked "yes" to a website enabling desktop notifications? I feel like browsers should just adopt an "automatically say no to this bs" setting.
- Yes but imagine they hadn't applied this "fix." It could have been 40x. :P
- Asking the likelihood I would recommend a service to my friends is a sure fire way to get a 0.
- > We use session quality feedback as a signal to make sure Claude Code users are having a good time
Your entire answer ignores the fact that this is irritating behavior that ensures users are not having a good time. We don't want to chase down secret config values. We want to click "stop bothering me" and be done with it.
- I think what you're looking at is: "Here's an example of installing this on ubuntu 24.04. These instructions will also work on 22.04." This is in no way saying they can only get it to work on ubuntu; they just haven't written a step-by-step example like this for other distributions.
And yeah, trying to use podman with something that's based on docker compose is ... probably gonna give you some headaches, I'd guess. I don't particularly know the pitfalls but if you're expecting it to be transparently swappable, I don't think that's an owncloud issue.
- I see 6 officially supported linux distributions. I don't know where anyone got the idea that they can only get it to run on ubuntu. It's containerized. Who cares what the host os is, beyond "it can run containers"?
- Yes and no. Have you considered that the problem is that a TLS handshake takes more than one round trip to complete?

- Does it let me read my fucking title bar while I'm using safari? I can't tell what time it is or what my battery level is anymore.
- Oracle Cloud's strategy early on was to go after huge customers who they thought would like to use the cloud, but otherwise couldn't use AWS for technical reasons. They were the first to do bare metal hosts (no hypervisor) and Layer 2 networking, for example (layer 2 networking not necessarily being anything amazing, but they recognized that lots of potential corporate customers had built their own infrastructure that relied on it, so it was a big barrier to cloud adoption). They also will bend over backwards to gain the customers with deep pockets like big banks, auto manufacturers, etc. This is how they ended up with TikTok. And part of this is that they are very aggressive about building regions, because some of the big customers have hard requirements about where physically their data resides (think small governments that need/want their data on their own soil). I don't know where they stand now from a technical competition perspective (those examples I gave are no longer exotic in 2025), but I suspect they have continued this "court the huge customers" strategy.
- Kirk's wikipedia page is currently abuzz with edits and reversions of those edits, many of which are pronouncing him dead.
- M and L and C are abbreviations for "moveto" and "lineto" and "curveto" from Postscript (which SVG was based on). I thought pen up and pen down in logo were "PENUP" and "PENDOWN."
- I watched it again recently because someone I knew had never seen it. It's actually not very funny anymore. I am still amused at a lot of the jokes in it, but more in an academic sense because I remember how funny it was. There's a lot of stuff in it that's really funny on paper but just doesn't make you actually laugh anymore. Comedy doesn't really age that well, and I believe that it's because what surprises us and what's considered "clever" inevitably changes over time.
- This is what I thought the article was going to be about.
