AKA HN’s feed is actually bearable and somewhat interesting again.

Backwards compatibility. On Windows, almost every single “why” can answered with “because backwards compatibility”.

Not even that. The author’s claim is just plain over-exaggeration even to American audiences—and such a blatant one that makes me wonder if it was included solely for engagement purposes.

Star Trek is “aspirational” but not in the way that you’re making it to be. Plenty of devices that are common to us today were pretty much “predicted” by Star Trek in way or another (PADDs, Tricorders, to name a couple). And yes, while it is almost always depicted in a productivity/workplace sense, these devices are all integral to the function of a Federation starship as much as their real-life counterparts are also very much integral to people’s day-to-day lives today.

The author’s claim is ridiculously short-sighted not only for discounting Star Trek, but plenty of other shows and movies with visionary concepts that eventually came to be.

README != code

Condescending much?

I for one think it’s refreshing to see someone just posting a cool project they worked on without it being the next coming of Jesus or some AI-powered/coded nonsense people only pretend to care about so they can feel they are “on top of today’s tech”.

HN nowadays is too LinkedIn-like for comfort, with people posting their larger-than-God projects and humble-brag filled articles.

Kudos to the author of this project.

Never mind the self-appointed greybeards using this as their own little podium. Hope you had fun making it (and learning with it!).
