Tbh seems like he knows his audience. Surely plenty of people still buy CDs for their car stereo rather than streaming Spotify or something, especially the kind of people who listen to country music.

I can respect those that tried to resist the onset of streaming, it really did/does screw over artists.

> The context of "resistance" is the October 7 attack.

Framing this as a conflict that started on Oct 7th is, again, biased. Oct 7th was a response to 70 years of war crimes committed by Israel on the Palestinian people on a near daily basis.

A conflict only possible because the US and UK decided to "give" the Jewish people a land that they (the US/UK) did not rightfully own.

> Instead of addressing my points, you've taken the ad hominem road.

> Allahua Akkbar is commonly yelled by Islamist terrorists before, during and after their brutality. A fact easily verifiable from countless videos of terrorist attacks, the horrors of which are a click away if you bother looking.

Your anecdotal experience aside, you very clearly spelled out a racist reaction. Like crossing the road when you see a black person.

You know what else is a click away? The knowledge that the Muslim god *is* the Christian god *is* the Jewish god. They're all Abrahamic religions they believe in the same god. Different prophets, different practices, same god.

So unless you're equally terrified when an American says "Bless you" when you sneeze, what you're describing is a racist reaction.
Interesting discussion about `jj split` and how it opens up a GUI tool to select what changes you want to pick.

I'm using `git gui` a lot, I think about everydays, to pick up exact what I want to commit or amend my current work. It's not a very fancy tool, but it ships with git by default and I feel it's really underused and could actually make people's life easier for editing undergoing work...
This is something I’ve specifically noticed in relation to televisions. Televisions used to be primarily hardware-driven. The functions worked reliably even if they were limited. Then things changed so that televisions are now primarily software-driven, but the software still seems to be written by developers working in the hardware industry, not the software industry. They have terrible quality problems.

Before, it didn’t matter because the feature set was so limited that software bugs were make or break. If you can’t decode a signal or change a channel, it’s not getting shipped. But now, where there’s an entire OS, GUI, applications, network access, etc.? Now there are vast areas where a million mistakes can be made and shipped. The software industry is (relatively) well-equipped to deal with this. The hardware industry is not. So they ship garbage quality over and over again.

That’s not even covering the perverse incentives vendors have to make their products cheaper and make up for it with spying, adverts, etc. That just compounds the problem.
Absolutely, yes, should've mentioned that. Most of these tools are for internal use at my company and I know what terminals they run in – even better: I can just test it.

But honestly, some of these run in tmux on my machine and in the Windows Terminal in production and both do the same thing.
I guess if you assume modern, emulated terminals and don't do exotic stuff (I mostly move the cursor and clear lines), you can go some way without termcap. It's a tool from a time when terminals where physical machines.
I first felt impressed by the note taking, but the more I read, the more I felt it is not very keeping it simple. Thinking back in some shitty fridges we’ve had, I have a good feeling about which ones were shit and which were good. I don’t need to keep notes on this.

For other parts of life this is great though: keeping track of what is going one with some friends I don’t often see or distant relatives.

Impressive.
In reality, these lines are a lot blurrier. Executive producers usually are investors, but they're not necessarily the primary investors. Definitionally, they're responsible for the financing of the film. Producers on the other hand, are, in theory responsible for managing expenditure of the investment (making the film), very much like a CEO/President as you describe.
At this point the problem is likely less technical than limited manpower to actually answer phones when the call volume goes up 5000%.

I thought the trapdoor (cpu slot) also exposed 12V, but just checked and I was wrong. Thanks for clarifying that the 12V rail might be sufficient.
The descent into feature laden, landfill destined shite is a seemingly universal trend. It's the same across appliances, TV's, computers and wider 'consumer tech' and extends to cars, footwear, and (at least in Australia) homes.

Minmax'ing cost and marketable shiny features over literally every measure of quality, usability, repairability, and longevity is abhorrent. It's an accelerating arms race to the bottom.

I can only hope we reach point where the market segments and opens space (with sufficient demand) so that more people and companies can focus on making sane, well designed, simple things again.

The companies that used to make phone switches (Nortel, Lucent) went out of business over 2 decades ago and they are unmaintainable. Building modernized VoIP-based landlines that still offer the 48V analog POTS interface would be phenomenally expensive, and the market of Luddite little old ladies like Pereira who cling to landlines is just not large enough to make it financially viable, unlike the market for broadband.

What Verizon did was sell the business to Frontier, a company everyone knows is going to go bust, but Verizon is rid of the liability. It’s long pas time regulators stopped the quixotic quest to preserve and outdated technology there is simply not enough demand to keep alive.
Legally I believe it is there equipment up to the cable modem. I would bet what you did is technically illegal depending where you are. Additionally, unterminated lines to a coax network can cause RF interference, and you may actually have created a detectable problem for other people in your area.

Before a few days ago, I had never used Wayland. As you said, it causes problems and has many limitations. The solution that works is infinitely preferable to the one that doesn't.

But, a few days ago, I finally switched over, on a modern machine (~ 6 months old), with a modern OS (more than modern -- I'm running a pre-release version). And now, finally, I see what all the fuss is about. Wayland is absolutely beautiful. The rendering and animations are gorgeous, and so so smooth. The whole system is far faster, far more robust, and far more efficient both in computing resources and workflow than anything I was ever able to achieve on X.

I have been using Linux on X11 displays as my primary machine since 1996. I do development work, but not with graphics, where I'm just a regular user. I don't really care about how good the design is or how hard it is to write programs using X / Wayland / whatever. All I care about is how usable my system is. And for me, having reached the Wayland promised land, I now understand what I was missing with X, in a way that I could never have before.

Tear-free rendering, all the time, every time. Frame perfect windows, all the time, every time. A desktop that finally feels immediately responsive, all the time, every time. Under X11, all those round trips to and from the X server add milliseconds to response time, hard to benchmark, but very easy to feel. Worse yet, X11 responsiveness is variable. If the system is loaded, your desktop can lag so badly under X. This doesn't happen with Wayland.

I now have OSD volume controls that work even when the screen is locked. This was never possible with X, and can never be possible.

I now have a lockscreen that, guaranteed, will not leave my desktop unlocked if someone crashes it by feeding it malicious input. X11 is architecturally incapable of providing such guarantees. There were several instances of security bugs where lock screens in X11 crashed in exactly this way.

Wayland has now reached the point where it is a must-have for me. If it doesn't run Wayland, I won't buy it, and I won't install it. Yes, X11 works well after all these years, but Wayland is enjoyable to use in a way that X11 never was.
I really have no idea how to reply to this without sounding like an ass so apologies in advance.

Well yeah duh if the door was shut properly every time fridges wouldn't need door or temperature alarms at all (most have an audible one already). But it's called an alarm for a reason, sometimes shit goes wrong and it's handy to know before all the food has been at room temperature all day. We had a freezer door pop open overnight once, because one of the drawers wasn't quite shut properly... in 40+ years of interacting with a fridge/freezer, yes occasionally mistakes are made

I also have friends and family and at least one will be aware and be willing to go to the house if necessary when we are away (only happened once when our intruder alarm went off for no apparent reason) and my neighbours would also pop in if I was at work.

Seriously your response showed such a lack of thinking of real world situations and usage I can only assume you work for the Google UI team or something
It's more cost cutting and using the same cheap fans, capacitors, relays, etc in the base models as the top-of-the-line models.
Like many others in here I had completely forgotten about DN. I don't think I stopped visiting it because of declining quality though, but rather that the concepts and principles of good design proliferated.

A decade ago I still had this feeling that design was a secret world that I wanted to grasp but which felt out of reach somehow. Today, for better or worse, the essence of what we've learned is embedded within components, templates, frameworks, and examples, making the web predominantly aesthetic. It's more uniform which is boring, but I think the era of changing trends is more or less behind us. However, industry-specific differentiation persists—a fashion retailer's site diverges from a SaaS platform's landing page, yet each conforms to the norms of their niche.
A simple switch and a buzzer is all there is to it. Has existed for several decades.

I work for Wikimedia and I have been one of the few weirdos assisting in its creation back in the early 2000's. The first time I got exposed to wikis predates Wikipedia and my stance was:

- a site editable by anyone on the internet? That is never going to fly

Few months later I followed a link to Wikipedia and that clicked, we can definitely build an encyclopedia online and the hope (I was in my early 20's) or bet was that more people were wiling to write article than people willing to deface it. I guess we won that bet by a large margin :-]

Even if I was younger, I was not clueless. I was well aware some people would deface it and it did happen. I have also been involved in two very long and tedious fights with editors having a political agenda, which diverting me from actually writing articles. I think that is the real danger: shifting the focus of people from writing articles toward pointless long discussions.

My wife keeps a land line because of superior voice quality for calls to her family. I find it handy because I can give a number to businesses when they demand one. We never answer that phone (it has been silenced from ringing). AT&T has no broadband service in my area - they offer only DSL and I live in a fairly rich area of silicon valley. The problem is that my utilities were put underground when the house was built in the 70s, so it's too expensive to upgrade the utilities.
I have repeated, traumatic, first-hand experience with this: food waste accumulates in building pipe bends and joints and such, causing blockages and follow-on effects worse than one would guess.

And the disposal, and myths about what's good to put down the pipes, means a lot of people put that food waste down there.

I don't know the original reason for the adoption of disposals, but smells like it could be corporate lobbying to create a market for a product:

> In many cities in the United States in the 1930s and the 1940s, the municipal sewage system had regulations prohibiting placing food waste (garbage) into the system.[5] InSinkErator spent considerable effort, and was highly successful in convincing many localities to rescind these prohibitions.[6]
Are french door fridges "not simple"?

I've had one for ten years and it didn't have any issues, and I didn't buy a premium model either (no ice machine on the top door tho).

But a friend of mine has a new one and it has the issues of the heat exchanger freezing due to bad insulation or something.

I feel it's not that these things are very complicated, as much as the fact that it's a market for lemons.
I don’t share this position.

Webservers shall create and provide the readily HTML so browsers can render the website without JavaScript. Actually text-browsers should render it and also allow disabled persons using it without hassle.

Instead SPA (or more direct JavaScript) is used to force the browser to assemble the HTML and it is slow and waste resources. Creating website which create load on the client-site is bad because we’ve power on the server dedicated for this task - not so on client.

Looking back web-developers need something imperative and more direct than CGI, PHP or JSP. The initial backslash against JS was right. I sadly shipped JS.

When a powerful application is needed? Make a native application and use an appropriate toolkit (Gtk or QT).

have you ever considered that maybe you need to get out of whatever online bubble you're in?

I grew up poor in the 80's and 90's. I've been homeless, lived without running water, electricity, and so forth.

being poor has always been hard and always will be hard. Everyone else is doing ok, wealthy or not. inflation hurts everyone, I certainly don't like seeing my food bill nowadays, but I can afford it just fine. If someone is lower middle class and above and can't afford their bills, their issue is lifestyle inflation caught them out.

I'm not saying there aren't problems, but you've lost perspective here. The vast majority of Americans are not _struggling_ to afford food, nor do you have to be "extremely wealthy" to avoid struggling to afford food.
That depends on where you live. It’s definitely easier to dial 112 on a rotary phone than 911 or especially 999.

Such information will somewhat be embedded in the network (a new voltage graph will look similar to the voltage graphs it's seen before) but it should be better to make it explicit.

Probably a tiny handful of times? And would it have been useful? Yes of course it's useful to get a warning when you're not at home or upstairs in bed. I didn't say it was a life changing critical feature, I said "handy".

We had a freezer door pop open overnight once... it was because one of the drawers wasn't quite shut properly, all was good for hours after closing it and then suddenly it popped open when we were in bed and we came down to the food at the front of the drawers defrosted.

When you use something day in day out for 40+ years you occasionally have an accidental bad interaction. Sometimes you press the wrong button on the TV remote, sometimes one of the drawers in the freezer is further forward by half an inch on one side and you didn't notice, it happens.

Most people, especially on HN, don't need to be reminded to think critically about how real world interactions actually might occur before posting poorly thought out responses for the sake of evangelically pushing a point, but here we are
And I'm telling you that the statement is incorrect. Starlink is not equipped with propulsion capable of doing that. They use electric propulsion, which means they can't target a re-entry. They can de-orbit it on a time scale, but they cannot do what is conventionally described as a controlled de-orbit. Meaning they cannot precisely target a general area of the Earth. They can target re-entry within a couple hours to days, but that's still all over the world.

Now, none of this is an actual problem as they're entirely demisable, but the statement that they can achieve controlled de-orbit is false.
I'm fine with AT&T no longer supporting landlines if they start supporting fiber to every household.

It's well understood that the reason people drag in these unnecessary frameworks is often because they prioritise their developer experience over the user experience, and you're just proving the point ;)

For what it's worth, the developer experience is also highly subjective.
