If SpaceX cuts corners, some rockets fall over a field in Texas/the ocean somewhere. Not a great thing to have happen, but the damage is pretty minimal all things considered. If a nuclear power p…

And even then, it took a string of extreme circumstances for Fukushima to happen, and compared to Chernobyl/TMI wasn't nearly as disastrous. A strong earthquake AND a tsunami AND people once…

God I'm so conflicted. On the one hand, I'm glad we're finally slowly letting go of the BigOil(tm) propaganda against nuclear. The fact that we're still burning dead dinosaurs to…

Have you tried actually counting calories? Because most people aren't really aware of the caloric contents of the foods they eat, and when they start counting calories it can be pretty shocking t…

I've been a lifetime swimmer, so I can relate. There's a reason a lot of swimmers and waterpolo players gain tons of weight as soon as they stop training. Usually if you can fight through th…

Exercise by itself doesn't increase calorie burn all that much, it just strengthens your body in other ways. It's still very important, but to have a healthy weight you need to eat healthy (…

But they can simply continue using whatever version of Python works for them, right? I never got this argument, personally. Sure, having to rip out a bunch of code because of lang-level changes can su…

I trust gorhill and UBO infinitely more than any corporation, especially since it's all free and completely open source.

I'm fully onboard, but only if it's not only Google being broken up here. M$, Apple, Meta (!!!!!!!!) and all the other big tech companies all need to be nuked from orbit. I'm worried …

How people don't get bored of this same exact thread in every single one of these posts is beyond me. But also as someone who does fullstack in a pretty much even 50/50 split, this is such a…

Extremely cursed, I love it

Your average dockworker is infinitely more valuable than trust fund nepo babies that sit on their ass all day playing with investor money opening up yet another useless AI startup that's going to…

The luddites wanted sane working conditions and to be trained on the use of newly introduced, dangerous machinery that was maiming and killing people and was meant to replace swathes of them overnight…

Does anyone other than PMs when thinking up user stories do shit like this or finds this kinda stuff desirable? It just sounds like a business person who doesn't have a life other than selling th…

Lol I remember early in my career using "fuck" and "cock" a lot for debugging. Very quickly learned to not do that, I instead replaced it with "banana" for the most par…

Why? Shouldn't that be the dream for anyone with a family, and is indeed the case for many people? I don't have any copyrights or trademarks or anything, but if I did I'd much rather my…

I had a long-haul flight last year and was sat next to a gentleman who worked for one of those betting companies in Europe who I had a chat with during the flight. The guy exuded pure sliminess from t…

Out of my entire friendgroup there's perhaps 2 people that are into any sports at all to the level of regularly watching it. I think what you need is to see a therapist and to rethink your positi…

No, I'd actually much rather the government be the one doing the tracking than private companies beholden only to greedy shareholders and their whims. I mean, I'd rather nobody track anyone …

We had one of these, Hotjar I think. To their (smallest possible) credit, there's 0 legible text in the replays, you basically only see the rough UI outlines and everything else is redacted. Woul…

I hear it all the time on HN that people are producing entire apps with LLMs, but I just don't believe it. All of my experiences with LLMs have been that for anything that isn't a braindead-…

What I'm really tired of is people completely misrepresenting the Luddites as if they were simply anti-progress or anti-technology cult or whatever and nothing else. Kinda hilariously sad that th…

If it was up to the majority of companies out there, they'd "self-regulate" into forcing their workers to work 18 hour days for pennies while they dump toxic waste into the water supply…

Every single argument against Cloudflare's features highlights exactly why people use Cloudflare so much. You're talking about people setting up a botnet in order to scrape every scrap of da…

> I worry that Cloudflare will keep escalating this unless they're sent a strong signal that it's not supported by the tech community. AI sycophants have truly deluded themselves into thi…
