British people don´t want to be lorry drivers for minimum wage, this is true.

You are not mentioning the elephant in the room, the unwillingness for many companies to pay anything more than poverty level wages.

Considering the entire premise of the show, even in 1967, was rooted in diversity, I'm happy to see that.

Many of the black actors that starred in it grew up drinking from separate water fountains through segregation, etc, which was only legally banned a mere 3 years before the show started. I don't find it unlikely that there would have been many people at the time making comments like yours about the mere fact that Uhura was on the bridge - or even being outright angry about it.

I think you've been seriously mislead about European police. Your description is of the heavily armed US police and not like any police force you'll hear about in Europe.

The actual military police only police servicemen and have no authority over civilians, you will only find them in army towns.

Why are you insulting him?

It's a single WRT54g running OpenWRT on an admins DSL connection.

I don't experience ads with my TV. I don't understand why this is an often repeated point. I've had three so far (due to moving countries), and never experienced this "tons and tons of ads" thing I see people complain about. It's always just been a UI and some apps.

Regarding data collection, who cares? Just get a pi hole if you really care about that.

Also you are describing a fault that can occur with a dumb tv.

EDIT: okay. I found this https://external-preview.redd.it/DcKcaASCdFkfM-eK5pOiu6DIOZb...

I have a samsung TV and I do not see this. Perhaps this is a region thing. I've lived in The Netherlands and the UK and not experienced this.

I do think you should open your mind a bit. Smart TVs are pretty terrific, I can just cast whatever I want across the room and bam, it's on the TV. Friends can come over and share the input. I can lay in bed with nothing but a remote and browse my plex library.

I used to go along this line of thinking, and had a "dumb" TV for a long time. I would spend hundreds of hours trying to get a PC/xbmc/kodi setup with a remote control to be comfortable, but always required a keyboard and mouse next to the TV. In the end it was a waste of time and I wasn't enjoying my TV as an entertainment device.

When I finish work, I want to sit down and just have everything work. I don't want to have to keep getting up and pressing buttons and messing around to get a myriad of supplemental devices of varying quality to work. I just want one single device, on the wall, with a remote.

Which ones? I've not had a single website fail on Firefox for a decade.

Totally. I much prefer that we bring everyone in line with English, we should start doing PRs with other languages next. They must really be suffering without "they/them" pronouns :3

Also Jitsi is a good alternative.

Little warning for anyone reading these comments:

100% of the criticism will be by devs with little or no experience with WordPress.

It's almost an in-joke to hate on WordPress at this point.

Yeah that's true. I humbly fall on my sword.

Well I don't know if it was value subtracting, I learned a lot and there was a lot of interesting discussion about history and attempts at graphical programming environments.

I was aware of that when I posted, but honestly I'm tired of threads like this even hitting the front page of HN.

What value does this article even add? It's a google query with a rant attached to it.

No, I do not think you have understood my argument.

There is only one word for someone, who approaches a topic they know little about, and suggests that its rubbish and he knows better.

That word is 'arrogant'.

And you are correct, I have no sympathy for arrogant people.

I disagree completely, and I'm starting to see now that you do not see the command line as programming, which is a fundamental flaw in how you're approaching your argument.

The command line _IS_ a programming language. If you do not want to learn it then you do not want to learn programming.

In one statement you just revealed your age and experience level.

The general trend in programming has been moving TOWARDS command line interfaces, not away from it. Mac OS didn't even have a built in command line until 2001. Microsoft Windows in the last few years has had its command line functionality enhanced, to the point that the GUI only Server versions of Windows have been stripped back, and now there are CLI only versions of Windows Server.

You can do more now in a command line than ever before, you can do more now in a command line than you could in 2001.

"Everything should have a GUI alternative" has been tried and it has failed. Almost all computer efforts through the 1990s were focused on making everything GUI only.

You have not read the article.

>The author gave a fresh opinion about web browsers and shared it with everyone. appreciate that.

The author gave a stale opinion that can be answered by typing his post title into google and hitting enter.

The server you submitted your comment to uses this 'OS nobody has used for decades'. The OS you wrote this from, also uses this implementation detail.

That is the best way to describe it, it's a bandwagon, they've been told everyone can code, and when they find they can't, they believe it must be the programming ecosystems fault, and not that they just aren't suited to being a programmer.

There's nothing wrong with not being good at something.

Node.js is a command line program, intended for writing server side applications on headless servers.

Which one? Please explain how it's pointless. What is esoteric about typing which program you want to run?

He's asking you to back up your assertations. If all you have is an easily produced vague thought then it can be dismissed just as easily.

Please explain how the command-line is pointless. If investing time into learning the ins and outs of a complicated system does not make you clever then please explain to me what does make someone clever?

I try to keep my comments nice on HN but in this case I can't, I've met this kind of person many times now and I just can't hold back.

The author is lazy, and is channeling his energy into complaining rather than learning. He believes he is by default an expert on the 'user friendliness' of programming.

His comments don't really make much sense, and come across as whining that should be ignored.

"People hate command lines - not only do they LOOK scary, they give weird unhelpful error messages and… you have to type everything. Ugh. "

You have to type to write programs. I truly believe that this person has had a conversation with friends about how programs should write themselves by you just telling them vaguely what problem you'd like to solve. And unhelpful error messages? You know what would be an unhelpful error message? 'ls' outputting a commandline tutorial every time I mistype a directory name so that people like this can have his hand held and continue to be intellectually lazy.

I have no patience any more for lazy know it alls in regards to programming.

What he did was barely a criminal offense, breaking terms of service should not warrant jail time. If it does then we are ALL guilty of the same "crimes" as Swartz, including you.

WhatsApp provides a seamless transition between phone numbers, it's not obvious it does that unless you do it.

Considering Hitlers supporters were proud nazis.. I think this argument has failed to serve your needs. Feel free to try again later.

There seems to be this large segment of the population who are utterly blind to the basic human psychological fact, that the people who they want to control with measures like this are the exact same people who will rebel harder against those measures.

Banning the word simp makes the word simp even funnier. Deciding that random things and certain language are 'problematic' and declaring undesirable thoughts as 'problematic' has the exact same effect. Banning drugs has made drugs more desirable, raising the smoking age makes smoking cooler. Calling trump a nazi and saying that the UK leaving the EU is xenophobic did nothing but strengthen peoples opinions.

It's the same behaviour from the same people, from banning words to polarising politics, that fails over and over and over again and they still fail to see it.

If you master grammar but can't pronounce anything, or your vocabulary is too small, or you have no confidence to speak, or you don't learn the way natives say things through trial and error, then all your efforts are completely wasted.

Language isn't just some word for word translations and a new sentence structure, it's much much deeper than that.

The only thing that is required to learn a language is tens of thousands of hours of practice.
