this-is-why

I’m here to support both of your statements. This is absolutely true from orgs the size of FAANG to startups because I’ve worked at both. Sure smooth talkers get promoted but so do smart people who make things work better by simplifying.

Normally I’d help a bro out but I started and googled and got hundreds of results and realized why does everyone need to be spoon fed. Please go do some work yourself mkay?

Have you noticed half the internet doesn’t work if you use a vpn? Even a good vpn? Even HN wont let you create an account with a vpn. The friction applied to preventing people from deploying privacy tactics is intense. I’m not sure how we can practically resist the privacy enshittification without abandoning the internet and its convenience entirely. I’m ready to go back to paper statements and visiting my bank and writing paper checks, but I don’t think GenZ is.

Yes. Numpy will accelerate if it detects hardware that it supports.

Agreed. Now is our chance to start pushing back on this. Don’t patronize this. Just glad author admitted it. Next time they won’t tho.

This is what worries me. I’ve used Time Machine for almost 20 years and it has provided seamless transitions to new MacBooks. But how do I know if it is currently borked?

In the 1990s we referred to this dilemma as needing a “killer app” to drive an upgrade. Fortunately everything needed more mips, but unless you’re a niche gamer, consumers hit the wall in maybe 2010. Which is why every oem is pushing Ai. Sell moar !! Fill the landfills !!!

This is the third phone on the HN main page. I’m happy to see this flurry of work at real competition in the market, but I hope the companies can survive and respond to CSVEs.

It’s the trump admin. They don’t care about the decorum you’ve described. They would have no qualms about looking racist. Have you not seen what ICE has been doing? Racism is a badge of honor, and so is flipping off the courts and public opinion. No I believe this is simply paranoia and racism driven by Miller and his cronies.

Welcome to reality. HN likes to pretend politics is something you can just look away from and ignore. That’s a mighty big privilege, which makes sense since HN skews cis-white-het-male. That’s not a lie. It is easy to ignore this when it doesn’t touch them. But now it DOES touch them, and you’ve just discovered what every oppressed group in history has to live with: politics doesn’t just go away if you ignore it.

Cancel culture and derangement syndrome. This admin is garbage.

It used segmented 32-bit mode. Flat mode doesn’t support virtual addressing which was accomplished with the descriptor tables (and the ES register) if I recall correctly. lol it’s been 33 years since I wrote windows drivers. Had to use masm to compile the 16-bit segments to thunk to the kernel

I think it was “you lie” under Obama. But my history knowledge awful. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a duel at a pre civil war sotu.
