I stand by my metaphor. It’s a command-line interface, a picture of text is only reducing its accessibility.
To complain about the visually impaired not doing enough to make the content more accessible for the visually gifted. I’m just too upset to respond to this kind of discussion. This is my last HN discussion, you’re right, blind people should take screenshots of their programs, enjoy your contrarian community
Please everyone name it what it is, and don’t try to be coy or clever. Call it the metrics database, the example.com web service, the marketing tool, the data acquisition service, etc.
I really hate that most private code bases are named “Steve” or similar, in a sea of micro services with Stacey and Stans and then there’s Steve 2.0 projects, and the only thing they bothered to document in the readme is the origin story and maybe a cute meme picture to go with it. And all of those people are gone and I’m a new employee and it’s not funny anymore.
Everybody please just be serious, name it what it is, and document private business code like a professional. You’re getting paid so please take your job seriously.
I’m very certain that even in the crazy case you have outlined, SIPC insurance would cover up to a half million. Some brokers provide additional insurance beyond the regulatory requirements.
I think everyone recently learned about FDIC because of SVB etc., but I think it’s important that people are also aware of SIPC, and especially to consider that there is no crypto currency exchange that offers any such insurance of any kind, https://www.forbes.com/advisor/investing/cryptocurrency/cryp...
I don't chose to be spied on by any government! But if I could chose only one, it would be an opposing country like China or Russia.
American businesses are forced to share our private data witn three letter agencies. Conversely, I can't imagine any leverage, money or lawful, that would cause a Chinese citizen living in China, with families in China, to be so stupid as to collaborate with the US government in any way, unless they wish for their families to be sent to labor camps.
My data is safer with the Chinese. I don't like it, but that's where we stand with our privacy.
Agreed, I would rather a foreign agency with no power or authority over me to have my personal data than a government that has the authority to wrongfully tax, investigate, jail, prosecute, and imprison me for that same data.
This will certainly be used by corporations to whitewash their bad histories.
IBM’s relationship with the Nazi Holocaust was difficult to find last week. the Wikipedia article, the book, and articles were all pushed further down to the bottom of google search because of the “News” that IBM pulled out of X advertising for anti-Semitic remarks.
Although the “news” is now older and not pushing down the results as far as it was last week. There will be perpetually generated “news”, books, and blogs that whitewashes away bad histories.
You are correct about the mortgage payments, I had a 1-2 cent error every few months, after a days struggle, I simply added a “Penny” column to add or subtract as necessary so that they would match!
It is easier to locate keys when given hints like an empty space on the board, it’s much easier to find “f4” next to a gap rather than counting four keys from the left
This is IBM letting us know that they are still breathing, they got more brand awareness from this article than a years worth of spend with X, big brain move from big brain execs
I would have disagreed about supporting 80286 PC-DOS and Apple ][ computers all the way to the year 2000
but supporting 2+Ghz 64-bit x86’s in 2023 isn’t really asking a lot.. and android phones in particular need to be prosecuted criminally for their ocean garbage
Some kinds of mushrooms take up lead And other toxic materials.
I only found this out because edible mushrooms grew in my yard, but they are warned in literature that they may contain heavy metals, as my well water contains 3ppb lead I wasn’t confident to eat them.
One of the first things I saw Linux do was utilize two mouses with two separate mouse pointers (serial and ps2 at the time), I was a young teenager and it blew my mind and I was installing Linux at home by the end of the month.
You should especially consider the role of a historian or the person who wishes to set out to correct facts and figures that are in error in Wikipedia, this is precisely what they need to correct it, to be able to trace the lineage of the error and correct the associated facts and figures like an excel sheet would, it’s very important especially with LLM’s that can’t cite their sources and google having gone to shit to find them, errors are quickly propagated across the web like some kind of crypto mixer, it becomes difficult to verify
it would be like saying, “I’ll show those email scammers, by reading and replying to every spam email, surely they will be overburdened”, when you’re fighting automatic programs with human time, you’ve already lost
I don’t drink, I guess I score pretty poorly on your relationship scale. If you need to have a drink to get through the workday and get along with I’d rather work with anyone else.
