This one in particular has mostly died - schools don't like it & children otherwise don't play outside as much.

It's a mess. One player with a gambling sponsor on his shirt got caught match fixing. Another got caught betting against his own team - when he wasn't playing.

It's bad for the atmosphere too. There are people in the stands ignoring the match in front of them because they're checking bets on other games on their phone.

I'm saying you should go for looser jeans

It does mean doing your own research and asking yourself what you value in clothing. The sneakers I had in mind while writing this were Thursday Boots' Premier. I haven't worn them - I don't really like white shoes - but I know about them from a(n independent) Youtube channel called Rose Anvil, who review shoes and boots from a construction and material POV. This type of simple white sneaker is available from a lot of suppliers. Thursday are at the cheaper end and most HN users will be able to find a domestic or customs-free manufacturer if they value that.

There are other Youtubers who take a similar approach to basics like jeans and t-shirts, or outerwear. Reddit is particularly good for jeans and leather footwear. Social media and fashion doesn't have to mean peer pressure and trend chasing: the values I'm advocating for aren't rare. An understandable distate for the fashion industry doesn't mean we should disengage and settle for clothes that feel bad and opt for false economy.

Then $20 only represents part of the cost to you and your planet.

Just thinking a washing machine bought in 2027 will be able to last long enough to track data for another 3 years is optimistic.

Also, if I was tracking usage like OP I'm confident it would change what I decided to wear.

If that same spot is the crotch, they may just be too tight for you or hanging too low. But if it's because of poor construction, getting over the hump of a higher initial price and buying well made jeans like Iron Heart would save you money overall.

IMO most HN users, regardless of country, earn enough that they should be able to clothe themselves without relying on dubious labour or uncomfortable, stinky synthetics that will outlast them by centuries. I've started turning down 'free' conference t-shirts: I already have enough to wear for gardening or to use as rags.

Not that OP is actually doing this. They're spending a lot of money because they're buying a lot of mass produced crap. The 'luxury' of those low cost-per-wear Converse is a flat insole that will put a podiatrist's children through school and a glued outsole that fails early and predictably. And then they have 5 other white sneakers doing the same job in their wardrobe. They could have spent less overall and got even better CPW from resolable, calf leather white sneakers.

This is cute but ignores the rampant unpoliced grooming.

>I don't see why they can't do that.

Because they report to the person who says they can't.

Yet after decades of this messaging, we still have these people touching the server-side code. Is it likely another few years of the same messaging will fix it?

There's not enough information to derive this. Mean is a subset of things we call average, not a synonym of it.

>Imagine how Linux people would react if there were endless blog posts about using VB6 scripts on Linux by running them under WINE because “that’s what feels familiar.”

Alternatively, we could ask why the POSIX-sphere produces enough power users impassioned to, interested in and capable of enabling their pet projects on a closed and hostile platform for blog posts like the OP's but the reverse does not.

> Some of the syntax leaves a bit to be desired

That's quite poor design for a shell! It's like saying an OS is well designed except the mouse and keyboard input leaves a bit to be desired - because they were designed for scripting first and users second.

WSL also adds yet another restart loop to the already lengthy process of turning a fresh machine into a workable Windows development station.

>Also, this does raise a few questions, though—if the writer has been using UNIX shells for that long, why are they using Windows at all?

An answer that I haven't seen offered yet: because Microsoft spend billions trying to gain and retain developer marketshare

Can Powershell tee a background task yet?

on the other hand, never seen a dog use javascript

There's a misconception that a quadrennial sports festival. Actually, they're a quadrennial festival for people who never cared about the sport before to explain how it should be fixed.

>as a ... competitor

Are you?

>I’m pretty sure others have other gripes with the “streamlined experience”.

A simple thing I find infuriating is that the entire 'app' is a singleton. I can't have one window open in one submenu with another window in another submenu, despite no direct relation.

Every OS I regularly lose seems to have lost track of the value of multitasking. Perhaps a side effect of them being treated as a tool to launch a browser.

But they already have. The Post Office was still nationalised when post codes were distributed.

Why didn't they just use Advanced Mobile Location? I called in a fire for a fallen tree in the middle of the field and they just asked if it was next to where I'm standing.

> Revoke citizenship if you really don't want to pay.

N.B.: you have to pay to revoke citizenship.

In western democracies, among others, we use "" to denote that we are quoting somebody.

search 'ASML'.

If you think LLMs are overhyped, the rational move is to start an LLM company, since it's practically the only way to obtain shares to sell.

Not as fast as the reverse. It's surprising how much Japanese is just borrowed English written in katakana.
