Is this happening often? (Wondering, I don't know.)

Why?

Maybe it's because HN is more popular (has more users) over all? Just a guess, I have no idea if there's correlation.

That, by the way, is a reference to another great channel - Technology Connections: https://youtube.com/@TechnologyConnections

Maybe a dumb question (I have no knowledge), but why wouldn't we think of .CSV files as databases? It can have columns and rows filled with information and isn't that what makes a thing a database?

We can and we do. It's just that some product names are limited by origin - like a piece of (other) cultural art, food also has a locational history.

But I do agree that maybe average customer don't care about that.

From my experience in Lithuania where we had a law of "plastic bags have to cost at least 1 cent" put in place few months ago:

- I see more people not using any bags at all. Previously some people would put even bananas and cabbages to bags (or some put even already packaged food items like rice or salt to extra bags "in case it rips open"). So the use overall decreased.

- shops started to offer reusable cloth bags for sale... But I don't see many people using those. I heard that some people just keep forgetting to take those to the shop.

- a lot of people just accept that 1 cent cost and move on.

- few populists political parties already "promised" to remove this tax. It's not a popular promise, but some people are attracted to that.

- overall it seems there's less bag use (my perception says it decreased by ~20%), but the difference isn't huge.

I personally don't really care about the tax because I didn't use plastic bags before anyway - I just throw everything to one cotton bag I have used for the past 10 years and it's fine to me.

I agree. This website seems like a campaign to show that "apocalypse" is coming.

Question rises to me: what good could us offer to this AI?

I had similar experiences in my self-help blog. I wasn't sure was it indeed due to "optimisations" or just a coincidence... :upside_down_smile_emoji:

Not at all. (Unless you count all distopian scenarios as "1984".)

That could be true indeed. I am just arguing in the scenario of "what if we build lots of flats", hah!

I do wonder how did similar scenarios worked out historically?

Why not? It makes sense - not every job is equal and some are both important and usually not paid enough.

Society or your local town won't collapse if there's not enough web developers but it may do if it lacks firefighters.

But honestly, it's kinda cute idea - haven't seen anything like that before. Unusable, but at least it's unique!

In the future we will differentiate humans by the ability to think up offensive pornography and critique corporate overlords.

Hackernews is also a social network - and it seems like this thing works with even less posts per day?

You don't need a huge following to have a functioning social group.

Okay, haha, now that gives a nice perspective how far is the Moon.

I doubt that anything can kill BS medical records. Two reasons that I see:

1) privacy and other laws have high demand of "structured" and "secure" information keeping ("it's a law that I must fill this information into this BS table and it's 100 BS fields");

2) governments love to spend the money on "standalone" software that has 1000 BS requirements... And contact companies do love to make that software as BS as they can because the worse system it is, the more additional contracts do they get to solve the problems they made.

Basically, I am sceptical that anything could help medical staff. (I am pessimistic because of what I see in my country of Lithuania. Barely working proprietary systems ("e-sveikata" and "e-receptai") that costs tax payers hundreds of millions Euros.)

I meant in lithuanian folk art traditions - mostly woodcarvings with various paints, but sometimes using other materials too. I guess forms and colors can also be included in definition of "traditional" :thinking_emoji:

Anyway, I am not an art expert or anything, I just find Devil museum interesting, haha. I managed to find a virtual tour of it too: https://3dtour.1001pikselis.lt/tour/velniu-muziejus

I have one suggestion too! :-D The Devil Museum in Kaunas, Lithuania (https://ciurlionis.lt/activity/permanent-exhibitions/velniu-...). It has few hundred wooden devil statues, most of them made in traditional methods.

I absolutely love the non-registration title page editing. Both impressive (haven't seen anything like that) and clear how it works. Can't wait to think of an idea what I want to build... :-D

Just to make sure, are you saying that GMOs are somehow bad?

Frontend web mostly doesn't care about OS performance. Should care, but nearly anything works nowadays :V

Depends on the country - some fields are better used for construction, farming or just being left as a natural habitat. And the roofs can't be used for any of those three things. So...

But it depends on the country. Some countries have a whole lot of "low use" fields, like natural or industrial deserts. Others don't.

1) Veganism isn't solely about cruelty;

2) I find your debate that "structure/texture changing plant matter making sounds is the same as animal matter/brain feeling"... interesting.

I doubt that AI generated PRs will ever be as bad as (some) human generated ones.

For wordpress: Elementor (easy to use, easy to find devs for it) and my personal favorite Thrive Architect (and their other plugins), that I like because of all the nifty marketing tools, ease of a/b testing. Both of these are visual builders, in a WYSIWYG sense. (There's also Divi, which is popular, but in my experience it somehow creates slow/laggy pages.)

> Professional engineers who refuse to learn how to use modern IDEs

In my experience - I ignore the modern IDEs and systems purely because I don't have time to learn every new tool... :-D

And I like the floaty bar - makes it easier to skip sections, needs less scrolling :shrugging_emoji: I will stay with the new version because of it (and shorter line width too).

Your balloons flew west..?
