Do I understand correctly, that the only thing Camacho was measuring were calories, without checking the amount of carbs vs fats vs proteins contained in what he ate?

I remember when downloading 10MB was a serious commitment

well, young is relative :)

> The devs want to use the latest frameworks and libraries, because it makes their CV look good

could be this, could also be due to bootcamps that teach the latest and greatest to keep up with the latest tech fads, also maybe because of the mirage that "if I become a react wiz, then I have better chances at landing a job at Facebook! $$$"

A free OneDrive account is enough, plus Office 2016+ autosave function, with the added bonus to have a cloud version of word to edit in collaboration your document on the go

Hi HN! I wanted to share a personal project of mine, putting english subtitles for a theatrical monologue from 2012 by Italian actor Marco Paolini, recounting the history, life and achievements of Galileo Galilei

good code shouldn't need to be debugged either ;)

how old were you at the time? if you were in your late teens-20s your body might have been strong enough to sustain the pace.

not only getting older, also getting closer to the project managers point of view gives a different perspective on what does really matter for the project. Spoiler alert, commit history most likely does not.

that's some meta-bikeshedding over there (AKA bikeshedding the concept of bikeshedding), kudos to that!

wow, 2021 and there are still people that think Java is interpreted?

well I heard that good COBOL coders nowadays are recalled from retirement and covered in gold in order to maintain old codebases. It's not that bad :)

The INCREDIBLY VAST majority of people that are working with Java/JVM for a living most likely have never even heard about HN. And yes, there are countless shitty projects in maintenance mode maybe even written in pre-1.5 Java. If I were stuck in such projects for years I would also be super-bitter about Java

Would you like to talk about our lord and saviour IntelliJ ?

hol' up

And next what? Agile?

No, but if GitHub is mentioned in a very angry Twitter thread, and is being targeted by a woke and bored journalist which would write an angry and misdirected article putting the words "racism" and "GitHub" together, is most likely a good enough motivation to avoid a PR disaster

National Public Radio? National Performance Review? Non-photorealistic rendering?

And with the vastly-majority of sites now using HTTPS certificates, the "invalid SSL certificate" page has become exceptional enough to have me actually read the "why" is the browser complaining so much, instead of just clicking on the "eh, whatever, I know the risk, drive me in!" button, which I would have clicked without remorse 15-20 years ago.

I feel the huge discriminator here is the need of paying up upfront for the license, compared to a free tool/library, regardless whether or not the free stuff is up to the task

how did we go from excellent software, with excellent documentation, that made regular people implement solutions, to the current situation?

"Designed (and used primarily) in California"

Wasn't the point of that episode to show that Frank Grimes would have been the "regular person" and it was the Simpsons the outliers? showing how the cartoon/sitcom logic is so out out of touch with the harsh reality?

The ML algorithms are the ultimate "source: dude trust me"

> Why anyone would want this? I do not know.

its product manager at Google, looking for a promotion (and then let it rot)

I think you can configure Firefox to disable all cookies, with the catch, though, written out, that "might break certain sites". Soooo, shrugs

we need a downdetector detector !

I guess the same could be said for HTML+Javascript

well, the idea is that there are already "do-it-all" frameworks, although they are linked to specific programming languages or paradigm (ruby on rails comes to mind)

isn't the point that LEGO would want to show its ads to those who have some interest in lego? Why would the water filter company show its ads to those who never searched/texted for a water filter before? or I'm just behind the times, and now the concept of targeted ads is completely different than what I'm used to learn?
