Isn't .NET supposed to be a separate non-profit foundation with no ties to M$? Why aren't they also advertising Rider and Jetbrains' AI tooling?

Not in gamedev myself but have friends who are, and while it can be argued the 30% (I think they're also around 15% or 20% under X amount actually, so it affects smaller games less) Steam takes h…

The more egregious and frankly disgusting one is https://fingerprint.com IMO this service should straight up be made illegal. I love the tagline they have of supposedly "stopping frau…

In my case it's management pushing this shit on us. I argued as much as I could to not have AI anywhere near generating PRs, but not much I can do other than voice my frustrations at the billiont…

Someone please shoot me if my PM ever gets this idea in his head of using LLM slop to spam tickets with en masse. There's nothing I hate more than people sending me their AI messages, be it in a …

I just installed Pop!_OS about 4 days ago since I had some money to spend and managed to get a new SSD on the cheap, dual booting with Win10 (I would rather get beheaded than ever use W11 again, I don…

Is there any hope of a non-joke fine here? Or are we just looking at another kiss of the wrists as them and Google and all the other big tech cos fuck literally everyone over?

Small rant coming up, can't help myself. We recently had an AI workshop type of thing as our company leadership is also falling for the AI-first BS, and it really felt like an Emperor has no clot…

Just give her a dumb phone? Kids don't need a smartphone to make a call or send a message.

I mean Geoguessr explicitly states when you launch the game (in PvP mode) that googling/searching is bannable

A lot of these are just airport code quirks, like LND being every airport in London. CGPGrey has a great video on the topic

Most VCs I know are just people with too much money throwing it at anything and everything they can hoping to get that 1 unicorn that multiplies their investment by 100. I'm sure there's ple…

Thanks, edited my comment to reflect I was wrong there.

> The DMA is gerrymandered to exclude domestic businesses. Except Booking (~EU, based in NL~* ) falls under the DMA, and ByteDance (China? I think) does as well. All the same restrictions fall on t…

I'm in NL and had my wallet fall out of my pocket once at one of the bigger train stations. I realized within ~5 minutes, and basically as soon as I realized got a call from an anonymous number. …

This is largely a US issue. My partner here in NL got fired from a regular retail job, but the company still had to pay her 3 months of salary because she had a permanent contract and worked there for…

no coal to be found here

Most of the people pushing this want to just sell an MVP and get a big exit before everything collapses, so code review is irrelevant.

Didn't really intend to be judgy, but are you not doing the same when calling out the "Young single urbanites who work from home/downtown"?

I don't have kids but I do have 4 nephews. They all take their bikes or if not possible for whatever reason, buses/trains/trams/metro to school and elsewhere. My 1 sister lives in …

I mean if you live in a city like Paris, then yeah I'd say that's legitimate. I see nothing wrong with making such dense urban centers car-free other than what's necessary like deliveri…

We have cars here, but you're not dependent on them to get everywhere unless you live in the countryside (and even then, I knew plenty of kids who lived up in the North who biked 10+ km 1 way t…

Lots of banks have them these days. In the US there's also stuff like privacy.com (unaffiliated, not even in the US personally :p) Last I used Revolut 2 years ago, they even had a "disposabl…

> I deal as DevOps/SRE daily with these services, and finding one that will do a first load under 10s is close to impossible I am currently in Indonesia on extremely flimsy and slow wifi at 1-…

As someone who's worked on web apps with and without frameworks, yes, we need frameworks, especially if it's a large one or if there's a team of more than a few people involved. The goo…

I'm the OP of the Reddit thread and have no qualms about sharing more info here on HN. I applied for a position at bunq ( https://www.bunq.com/ ), and the service they wanted me to…

My ideal laptop would be the macbook trackpad, monitor and battery life stuck inside any thinkpad. Or just anything non MacOS, even Windows, in the macbook. I despise MacOS with every fiber of my bein…
