deelly··on Slack was down
Sometimes I have the feeling that different type of communication tools is not an issue.

You can become burned-out using any tool, and even without using any tool.

deelly··on Where do you discuss computer related stuff now?
Add the third type please:

finding any reasons to contradict to parent commentor and win the arguments at any costs.

deelly··on Good code is like a love letter to the next developer who will maintain it
agree. good code is a code easy to read and easy to modify. thats all.
deelly··on How is ChatGPT's behavior changing over time?
No, we definitely should continue to quiz LLMs on mathematics and absolutely any other topics. Otherwise how do we know and understand limitation of the system?

And we will never know is there a error in Stable Diffusion generated images or aliens do not understand our answers...
deelly··on Arrival's Designers Crafted a Mesmerizing Alien Alphabet (2016)
Interesting, I watched movie before reading the story, and personally I liked movie more. Story is different in narrative and in the conclusion.

Will be interesting to know is there a difference in a movie perception between peoples that read story first and people that come to movie without any idea what happens.

deelly··on Windows: A software engineering odyssey (2000)
And some people still use WinXP, Win 7, Win 8 etc...
deelly··on Windows: A software engineering odyssey (2000)
> Windows couldn't run for 2 hours without crashing every so often.

I`m really curious, which version of Windows you mean?

Because I don't remember this on win 3.11, win XP, win 95, etc. etc. Of course there sometimes HW/drivers issue, sometime some programs corrupt system files, etc. etc. But crashing every so often.. thats strange.

deelly··on The Anti-Ownership eBook Economy
Just 5 cents, thats why I always trying to buy any games on GOG. No "install necessary launcher" bullshit and 100% confidence that backup of any purchased game will work in next decades, or even in next next decades without internet.
deelly··on Newpipe.net removed from Google search results due to DMCA take down request
Issue is that geofencing sometimes a direct results of different laws in different countries.
deelly··on Letting users block injected third-party DLLs in Firefox
Did we read different articles?

This functionality is enabled by default. That`s why I`m asking - why don't ask the user first?

Upd: please be civil, this is a discussion and not a competition.

deelly··on Letting users block injected third-party DLLs in Firefox
Like Chrome, Windows, Android, iOs etc? We all understand that companies wants to protect us from "evildoers". But its a similar situation as with any censorship.

Why not allow users to decide themselves?

deelly··on ProtonMail Rewrites Your Emails
I don't want to be arrogant, but software is not immutable..

What about now, did you tried to use Import-Export app for ProtonMail, did you try to use search now?

deelly··on Tell HN: Nearly all of Evernote’s remaining staff has been laid off
> to convert free users to paying users for the same features

Not the same features, worse features. They intentionally abandoned Evernote Classic that was like 3 time faster, not clattered, practically without ads, and with more-more features. I will happily pay Evernote some reasonable price if my experience will be better, not worse..

deelly··on Show HN: Degrees What?
As a non-native reader, I`m not sure that I understand. Could you explain why 100 Kelvin, but 100 degrees Celsius and 100 degrees Fahrenheit? Is there some special meaning in a word "degrees" there?
deelly··on How to 1.5x your salary through negotiation
I agree with part of the statements but...

> I realize you don't really care about us vs Adobe, you are going for the best bid.

But do you (at least a bit) care about candidate? Why candidate should care about you and your company if on the first sign of any troubles (that completely unrelated to candidate) you will just fire him immediately?

And tell me that you will not fire him and work with loss. Tell me please.

deelly··on Flashing elements alienate users
For example, you can show this info when user move cursor to close button.
deelly··on Flashing elements alienate users
Oh, exactly same with Facebook. "You got a message/news!", nope, I did not.
deelly··on JP Morgan fined by SEC for deleting email records
Fact that SEC sometimes fine some banks doesn't mean that SEC completely safe from influence from big banks. As usual its not a black and white picture.
deelly··on Zotero Better Notes – Knowledge management inside Zotero
Is it ok for you to pay 8$ monthly for sync between devices? Or did you use another way of sync or don't use it at all?
deelly··on The Pentagon’s $52k trash can
Not only. Also some software for financial sector, for suppliers, for maintenance too. Basically, anything that do not crash a system could be a feature. And sometime even have logical and good reason to exists.
deelly··on The Instant Pot Failed Because It Was a Good Product
TLDR: product is so good that it saturates market so much that there no room to 'grow'. Company tried different line of products with little no success, and... become bankrupt.

Moral of the story: why the fuck every company should grow forever?

deelly··on Livestream of Reddit subreddits going private in protest
ExperiencedDevs will go dark until the end of the month

https://www.reddit.com/r/ExperiencedDevs/comments/147ebxd/ex...

> It’s like the secondary school for r/CSCareerQuestions.

It started few months ago when sub suddenly become popular. A lot of... how to say it, trivial questions/topics.

deelly··on Video to video with Stable Diffusion
We don't know actually. Could be Cease and Disease letters from creators of AI-networks, could be change in copyright laws, could be simply not profitable enough to continue operations or continue to store old data.
deelly··on ArchiveTeam has saved over 11.2B Reddit links
> If Reddit replaces volunteer mods with paid mods we would get a more consistent moderation and almost certainly a more professional experience.

Did you mean "more advertisement friendly"?

Like no shitting on a big mobile publishers, no criticism of Blizzard, or EA, or other big corp.

deelly··on Major Reddit communities will go dark to protest threat to third-party apps
There nothing wrong with it.
deelly··on People who die by suicide want to stop suffering, not to stop living
I don't want to be arrogant or looks like moron, but how can you know that people that you know "went through worse"? How can you measure it? I`m really curious, because all my life I live with understanding that there no way to measure other people feeling, emotions, suffering.
deelly··on Big Tech Resumed Hiring Foreign Workers Just Weeks After Layoffs
And how to force country to do it? If, for example, country don't have resources to do itself?
deelly··on Big Tech Resumed Hiring Foreign Workers Just Weeks After Layoffs
So, to solve working immigration issue one country should somehow force foreign countries to retain outside immigration by proposing better job to workers?

How one country can do it?
