comeonseriously··on The melancholy decline of the semicolon
I use those. But how would those be automated exactly? How would they know what I want to find and replace?
comeonseriously··on The melancholy decline of the semicolon
I already know what I want to type. Having something pop up with "suggestions", often obscuring the lines I need to read, is worthless to me at best and disruptive of my thinking at worst.

If I can't recall "x.somePropertyThatHasARidiculousNameIAlwaysForget" then there are other more serious problems.

comeonseriously··on The melancholy decline of the semicolon
Automated tools get in my way of thinking. I turn off intellisense, auto-formatters, etc...

I'll run auto tools during check-in, but not during coding sessions.

There are people who hate python because of the forced indentation. They indent their code in their language of choice, they just don't want something FORCING them to do it.

I'm always flabbergasted at this argument.

comeonseriously··on Show HN: I made a movie recommendation app based on your mood
Couldn't you select for what mood you want to be in?
comeonseriously··on 90% of Black Friday deals were the same price or cheaper six months before
A particular Samsung tablet I put in my Amazon list a while back now has a banner "Black Friday Deal" but the price hasn't changed.
comeonseriously··on Named Pipes in .NET 6 with Tray Icon and Service
Seems to me, the focus of the article was more on named pipes than the tray icon, so maybe that's why?
comeonseriously··on U.S. lawmakers call for privacy legislation after Reuters report on Amazon
Wait, so Amazon allegedly undermined privacy by spending tons of money lobbying, and Congress wants to pass legislation on privacy. How about passing legislation on LOBBYING?
comeonseriously··on The latest EU plan to outlaw encryption and introduce communication surveillance
> ... it won't tell them where the next terror attack is going to take place or who will do it.

No, but I'm convinced this isn't the goal. The goal is to monitor the unrest of the people.

comeonseriously··on It's hard to say who's winning the streaming wars, but customers are losing
Are you saying something without actually saying something?
comeonseriously··on It's hard to say who's winning the streaming wars, but customers are losing
The only winning move is not to play.

I think a lot of people will just do without.

comeonseriously··on Adults who microdose psychedelics report lower levels of depression and anxiety [pdf]
Of course they do, that's why they're microdosing psychedelics.
comeonseriously··on Ask HN: Ridiculous job interview. What do I do?
Tell them to fuck off.

Offering you a job is not making you spend hours doing stupid leetcode shit.

comeonseriously··on Microsoft blocks EdgeDeflector to force Windows 11 users into Edge
It was a good run MS. You had everyone fooled by supporting Linux on Windows, OSS, etc.
comeonseriously··on NPM – "is-even", 160k weekly downloads
But DAMMIT, developer productivity, man!

But, honestly, do developers these days just not have their OWN libraries of code they bring along with them? Are they SO dependent on others they can't write trivial code?

comeonseriously··on If Apple keeps letting its software slip, the next big thing won’t matter
> Which I get, on some level who wants to work on the broken things?

I love working on broken things just as much as working on new things. Sometimes the reason something is broken is because it was a difficult problem. I love those difficult problems.

comeonseriously··on Without parental leave I might be dead
> Maybe you should not live somewhere so expensive and stop spending money on unnecessary things.

Because The Poors waste their money?

> You can switch to eating cheap food and minimize your expenses.

So, The Poors shouldn't care about nutrition?

> If you are just making ends meet you are not financially responsible.

This is so naive.

comeonseriously··on Without parental leave I might be dead
> People don’t have to have children.

Ah, here we go. This is a veiled "only people who have enough money should have children" argument.

> And people can and do stay at home with their children at all income levels.

I am sure that disproportionately favors certain income levels.

Moped?
comeonseriously··on I'm “still afraid to use spaces in file names” years old
Without exception, I never ever ever use spaces in filenames. Ever.
comeonseriously··on October had the biggest U.S. inflation surge in more than 30 years
Groceries and gas are up. This is devastating for those who think $50 left over at the end of the month is a good month.
comeonseriously··on M1 Pro and M1 Max MBP owners complain of crashes playing HDR YouTube videos
No. One could probably get away with saying that a decade ago, but not today. They're every bit a software company as they are a hardware company.
comeonseriously··on Using Flutter to build a native-looking desktop app for macOS and Windows
What do you mean? There's only Mac and Windows. /s
comeonseriously··on Library Genesis Desktop app, now with IPFS support
Never knew this existed. The web site has always been perfectly fine.
comeonseriously··on Biden’s “historic” $65B broadband plan approved by Congress
So, it's basically a $65Bn handout to Comcast, etc.

Great...

comeonseriously··on The Democrats’ social-spending package cannot repair the American Dream
Truck driving is a profession.
comeonseriously··on Ask HN: How is the “metaverse” concept different from the Second Life boom?
All this is, is Zuck trying to flood the news with something other than the bad news about Facebook right now.
comeonseriously··on Windows 11 upgrade tool that bypasses Microsoft´s requirements
So annoying because every monitor I have has more horizontal space than vertical.
comeonseriously··on Windows 11 upgrade tool that bypasses Microsoft´s requirements
They have to keep up the streak of flubbing up every other release of Windows.
