Microsoft's developer experience was great. MSDN CDs were full of valuable info, utilities, and pre-release APIs you won't find elsewhere. MS Visual Studio was (and still is) an exemplar of well-though-out, super-powerful IDE. MS developer docs were pretty thorough.

OTOH Microsoft software's operation experience was far from happy. Bugs, crashes, byzantine installation and update procedures were all the daily reality.

To say the truth, few things were significantly better. And if they were (say, VMS, which was rock solid), they were also significantly more expensive.

Commercial Unix wasn't a hugely better; I personally crashed Solaris software, and the OS proper once. Bizarre installation and update procedures applied to it equally well.

MS started having a hit after a hit to its reputation in the tech community when it started to try to do something about the internet. They tried to muck with Web technologies so as to create its own silo, not compatible with Netscape's: custom HTML and CSS, JScript vs Javascript, etc. They also started to talk trash about competition, never a good sign. Eventually they won, partly via business pressure, partly via good technology, and many a web developer cursed the MSIE5 chokehold since then, for a decade at least.

Windows 95 was a target of many techie jokes, but, to my mind, MS have done a tremendously successful rework of desktop experience and its visual language, which was and still is widely emulated as "the common standard". Writing an OS as a DOS extender was a cool hack, which allowed to launch DirectX, and make windows a prime gaming platform.

> Why are we framing trust as a moral imperative here?

I'm not. Where did you get that impression? I was merely pointing out the fact of declining trust (with data). As for why it's declining, it's obviously a complex issue: the initial causes, and the attitudes that can become ingrained to prevent the situation from improving (why act in good faith if people will always assume ill intent?), how tensions can increase between the different stratas of culture, how people become more isolated and self-interested out of a sense of survival necessity.

And how capitalism will, well, capitalize on this environment, and have its own effect in turn.

Could you just have a single field for name and allow anything in that field? The only downside is you can't do something like "Hi ${FIRST_NAME}" in your emails, but the upside is that it basically handles any name or name order, e.g. Indonesian single names, Spanish names with the mother's surname included, etc.

In my graduating class for undergrad, there were like 3x as many journalism majors as there were CS majors. And it wasn't a particularly good journalism school either. Same for other majors like sports medicine, political science, etc

Seeing things like that always makes me wonder how it behaves if you happen to have a file named something like '; rm -rf *' or similar; a quick online search unfortunately reveals very little documentation on how exactly that command is parsed, substituted, and executed.

I want to do my own version of something like this to have a personally curated search function. The "it's mine" factor is enticing, if it does something unexpected, then I know all the dependent, interacting parts so I can trace the problem and fix it.

> I am not interested in your arguments predicated on what bourgeoisie law courts have said.

A nitpick, but "bourgeoisie" is the noun, "bourgeois" is the adjective; it is either "bourgeois law courts" or "law courts of the bourgeoisie".

> They have natural rights the same as anyone else

“Natural rights” are a thought-terminating cliché to avoid justifying one’s view of what concrete legal rights people should have while simultaneously pretending that the moral conclusion on that question one is offering is a material fact.

Outside of use within a community within which there is a non-controversial moral consensus as a shorthand for positions not in debate within that community, it is never productive to invoke it.

And, certainly, the right to compel others in society to involuntarily relay your views is not a consensus position on rights in our society, even if you leave the law courts, of the bourgeoisie or otherwise, out of it. Otherwise we wouldn’t be having this debate.

Of course they are. The point in Google isn’t good search results - it’s results that generate ad revenue. Their search algorithm is absolutely going to prioritize the same “engagement” heavy nonsense that YouTube does.
Keep in mind that Intel is years behind. TSMC N7 came out in 2018 so SMIC is ~5 years behind. Samsung 7LPP uses EUV but TSMC N7 and Intel 7 don't so it's not required. Without EUV, SMIC will probably be stuck at 7 nm for many years while other fabs reach 2 nm.

I've honestly found GPT4 to be fantastic for every recipe I've tried. I list what I own, say generally what I want, and say either use what I have, or minimize the number of new things I need to buy, and tell me how to make the thing. The instructions are far more legible than SEO spam recipe sites.

In auto racing (other than rally), pro drivers typically know the track incredibly well, down to every bump that could possibly affect traction. Often times there are blind crests where they have to know the track perfectly to be able to go through a corner at maximum attack. F1 drivers know the tracks like the back of their hand except for the times where they go to new tracks, and even then they can practice in the simulator.

The claim of packaging is a crock of shit. Cox won't give me a quote without an exact address since thanks to ISPs building up pseudo monopolies they charge everyone something different.

If it is actually a package you can't list the final price due to that anyway.

After all you don't know where someone lives based on where they buy something.

Remember if you have to deal with quoting accurately you did all of the work to label properly.

In 2011, Illinois abolished the death penalty because of its track record of executing innocent people (somewhere between 20 and 75 over its history, posthumously exonerated obviously). In 2018, the then governor called for its reintroduction but it foundered.

Oddly enough, the first execution (before it was a state) was a man burned at the stake for witchcraft in 1779 when it was under the jurisdiction of Virginia (during the Revolutionary War).
So can you provide some clarity on why you feel the need should demand people to opt for a van instead of an SUV? My SUV fits my needs, is a hell of a lot more comfortable to drive, and it gets literally the same gas mileage as a ford focus (Which is a helluva lot better than a van).

Usually friendly advice is given after friendly answering question, which was not demonstrated here.

We are perfectly aware of how to deal with extra-sensitive people and kind approach is the way to go. However on this site I expect certain level of technical training and intelligence in answering direct questions without being offended by search for a deeper understanding of some topic and without inventing emotions that never been there in the first place. I was also under impression that guidelines of this site directly where encouraging answering I expect by declaring : “be kind” “don’t be rude” “suggest a good faith” and unfortunately none of those were demonstrated by your answers even when you have learned the fact that you were wrong and your accusations were completely ungrounded . The fact that such behaviour was encouraged by (as you claim it) “multiple people” including moderation of this site tells a very sad story about this site regarding following own declared principles.

And this example:

“Which crypto? Where can I pay with it? What if I don't want to have a hardware wallet everywhere with me? Can I cancel transactions and get my money back? Does it use more energy per year than Argentina?” (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36656667)

tells another sad story about hypocrisy which means it’s hard to take “friendly“ advice seriously. The next time you wish to give a truly friendly advice try to be kind in the first place, do not suggest a bad faith and do not insist on false ungrounded accusations encouraged by confirmation biases especially when clarification presented.

You could have just apologise for own real aggression contrary to imaginative aggression from my questions and simply give answer while keeping “friendly” advice to yourself.

This way people would learn something about the project rather than learning something about cancelling “culture” which is under the flag of “being nice” demonstrates much worse behaviour in practice than one it claim to oppose. You actually among others should be very aware and disgusted by those tactics after you’ve seen effects of “soviet methods” in Romania.

I personally think it's a good idea to do something like this two to four times a year. If it were me, I'd arrange a come if you want meeting on a Friday every quarter in some fun town and then let the people have the weekend to have a good time and get to know each other if they want. It's great when you've been working with someone solving problems and then meeting them in person and finding you get along really good. Those interpersonal relationships aren't as important as the return to office people say they are, but they can make things run a little more smoothly and find chemistry.

One interesting approach would be to use a regex to detect if the name is written in Hanzi, Kanji or the Korean or Vietnamese alphabets and write the name in whatever format is appropriate for the locality. The Asian people I know would be be unsurprised to see their name rendered western style when written using whatever romanization format their native language uses.
They acquire through creation, not through theft.

Laborers generate no capital. They sell services to capitalists who are the ones generating the capital. A person who works may also be a capitalist, who invests their surplus income into building a business, which is a form of capital.
Also, early web content was text-heavy due to bandwidth limits and lack of quality cameras. Now, video platforms like TikTok and Instagram dominate.
It doesn't matter what the game is rated in practice. We know young teens play CoD already. Unless a global id check is introduced, that part is not going to change. (And that won't happen of course for many reasons)

It's also in the publisher's interest to not run "that game where you need to know how to mute people yourself, because there's so many abusive ones".
I used to do an annual 12km run (I hate running, hence the distance not being particularly noteworthy, except if one hates running), and so paranoid was I about needing to take a dump on the way, during, or on the way back, I'd sort out my, uhhh, schedule for the week prior, to ensure that it was all taken care of early in the morning before the run.

I'm also aware that the human body is generally smart enough to "clam up" during physical activity, so it was probably redundant effort, but it was somewhat of an enjoyably weird thing to try and control / predict / schedule.

Additionally, I have _that_ reaction to drinking coffee, so bringing it on in the event of a potential timing issue was relatively simple.

Yes, similar to how US colleges ask for race on applications. India's government programs have the equivalent of affirmative action everywhere; so all forms where affirmative action could be implemented ask about it.

Personal opinion.

As an Asian person, don’t overthink this.

Just have fields for family name and given name to distinguish between the two.

Sure, when there’s a text field saying hello “first name last name” it might be flipped but this shouldn’t be a deal breaker or offensive in any capacity.

Worst case is you can have a toggle they can click but from a developer standpoint, that might be over engineering for something that might cause headaches later.

I'm curious what you're expecting to be returned here. How can there be "quality" results when the information you're searching for doesn't exist?
Yes, which is what Flutter basically does.
I'm not saying you're a moron or that your experiences didn't happen. I've suggested several times I think a lot of the worst experiences are possibly regional as the vast majority of bad experiences I see here mention being on the West coast. But telling people asking if it's normal for over half the chargers to be practically non-functional, always long lines, etc. as the norm across the whole US is a stretch. It would be like me telling someone outside the US summers for the whole country is like 105+F every day.

I'm not suggesting the non-Tesla chargers are perfect, I'm not even saying they're particularly great. They do need to have faster turn around when even a single dispenser goes offline. They've been adopting regular credit card terminals over needing the apps, which is how it should have been from the start. I'll definitely agree overall Tesla charging experience is better. They've been way more responsive to problems and made the better bet on cheaper but easier to replace components. I agree with practically everything he said in that video, but that doesn't mean it was personal experiences. A lot of my "they need to improve" agreement is looking at plugshare around the country, reading comments like yours, seeing videos on YouTube from places like Out of Spec Reviews, and others, but not much personal other than seeing like 1 of 4 chargers out at the places I've gone to.

I'm just suggesting it's not the way the OP said it is across the entire United States. The poster was essentially describing a charging hellscape, someone asked if it's like that across the whole US, and you said yes based on your experience in SF. Well, maybe SF isn't the whole US.

I am trying to suggest Alec's experience isn't as bad as failing to charge 83% of the time. It sounds like he had a road trip where the EA app was glitchy (which he'd prefer to use over a credit card as his car has free charging through the app), he's run into a few dispensers which should have worked save for a broken clip and used another one at the site, and he's seen some percentage of dispensers out of service when he's gone to charge but still managed to charge. But from most of the content he's posted over both of his channels and other channels he's participated in, it looks like his overall success rate is much higher than 17%. Can we agree on that?

Another poster here mentioned plenty of empty chargers in the Midwest. Another mentioned no problems in the PNW outside of holidays. Multiple people in California talk about charging hellscapes. Maybe it's not a US thing? Maybe we shouldn't tell people it is?

Like you will see yourself, the density of transformer is of the order of 10x less than in the US/Japanese model.

I don't think the homeless deserves to be corralled up in one place like cattle.

One of the best ways to help the homeless become less homeless is to firstly make them feel like a functioning human being again. Treat the issue (poverty, unemployment, depression, lack of self-worth) itself, not the symptom (homelessness, drug use).
