its_the_futureon Spotify looked to ban white noise podcasts to become more profitable

They're talking about bird noises, the article said, among other things.

That's called ambient noise.

That's not white noise.

"it's my daily driver."

I think you somehow don't have any idea what a "driver" means in a computer hardware context like this.

Are you sure socioeconomic status is not a better fit and that race is not just a proxy for it?

its_the_futureon Picat – a logic-based multi-paradigm programming language

I won't know who Hakan Kjellerstrand is, but if you quote him you should either put [sic] following "suites" or put [suits] instead of it. Gives a bad impression straight off the bat. You could argue language is different from programming but to my subconscious mind it speaks of a lack of attention to detail and excellence.

Maybe we did, maybe we didn't.

If I hear "One small step for a man", I also hear "One giant leap for a mankind".

its_the_futureon Ask HN: Is it too much to work AND play with tech?

I find that if the angle of my forearms is downward, I get a creeping RSI brewing on top of my hands. Adjusting my seating and/or sitting position so my forearms are horizontal and my wrists are resting and my hands can relax gets rid of the constant tension and creeping pain. YMMV

Take this... it may help you on your quest.

its_the_futureon Microsoft, Keep Your Hands Off My Keyboard

I don't know why it happens, but it seems to be "all the time" sometimes. Like if I lock the computer. I've grown a habit of peeking near the clock for the language and resigned myself to hit Alt+Shift whenever it's the wrong one.

its_the_futureon Bernie Sanders to unveil plan to cancel all $1.6T of student loan debt

The plan is part of a more comprehensive "college for all" program that Sanders has already released in pieces and includes free tuition at all four-year public colleges and universities, as well as community colleges. The broader proposal also includes subsidies to reduce the cost of tuition and fees for low income students at private colleges that historically serve underrepresented communities. "We will make a full and complete education a human right in America, to which all of our people are entitled," Sanders said on Monday. "This means making public colleges, universities and HBCUs tuition-free and debt-free by tripling the work study program, expanding Pell grants and other financial incentives."

its_the_futureon Observable’s Not JavaScript

IMHO call it something other Observable? Observables in JavaScript and development are something else, only reason I clicked the headline is due to the confusion, and I'm slighly upset and baseline hostile to the product. This hostility is probably because I suspect the confusing name is intentionally confusing.
