rustcharm··on IRL Glasses Block All the Screens Around You
He talks about this in the article.

Exactly. I'm "gay married" and I thought what they did to Brendan Eich was wrong. He donated money a few years prior. That's it. He didn't rant and rave at company meetings or take any public action that had anything to do with the company.

Note that the "women" at Facebook are using very specific language. It looks like they're trying to set the stage for a hostile work environment lawsuit all because some man's friend attended a SCOTUS nomination hearing.

They can leave them in San Francisco

Can you imagine complaining about another employee because he attended an event on his own time, representing himself, and not involving the company in any way?

A good HR department would severely reprimand, if not terminate, employees who complained they didn't like this person's off-the-job social activities.

He also supports terrorist groups like Hamas.
rustcharm··on Go hits the concurrency nail on the head
I disagree. You really need "shared nothing" and messages. The only language that really hits the concurrency nail on the head is Erlang, which we use extensively in our business.
rustcharm··on Should you learn C to “learn how the computer works”?
Why not assembly language? Learn a simple one in a simulator (like 6502 or 8080).
rustcharm··on Voice Phishing Scams Are Getting More Clever
Did you read the article? The Many people have their bank or credit union in the contacts. This won't help if they're spoofing a bank number.

> Cabel Sasser is founder of a Mac and iOS software company called Panic Inc. Sasser said he almost got scammed recently after receiving a call that appeared to be the same number as the one displayed on the back of his Wells Fargo ATM card.

Huh? The caller ID was spoofed. Read the article.

rustcharm··on Found hooked up to my router
This is almost certainly the right answer.
rustcharm··on Zoho.com CEO says domain with 40M users suspended for abuse complaint
Aha! I was wondering when someone would say this!
rustcharm··on How Some Consultants Fake an 80-Hour Workweek (2015)
Hacker News edits the facts, and even titles, to suit their agenda. Sad.
rustcharm··on How Some Consultants Fake an 80-Hour Workweek (2015)
It's "misandry" not "misogyny". A hatred of men.
rustcharm··on How Some Consultants Fake an 80-Hour Workweek (2015)
Original title is:

"How Some Men Fake an 80-Hour Workweek, and Why It Matters"

and the author makes a Big Deal over this being a "man" thing.

Why do the people at "hacker news" want to gloss over the sexism behind the author's shaky premise? Normally an inflammatory article like this would be [flagged] and the submitter shadowbanned.

this is not how they do it
rustcharm··on Ask HN: Best alternative to Gmail?
Microsoft Outlook. Works great on-line and in the native app. Works with Apple's email client or Microsoft's on iOS.

Great pricing, can have it on your own domain, and the best calendaring I've ever seen.

rustcharm··on New search-by-image method on Bing.com
Bing is my primary search engine. This feature has been in Bing for at least 6 months. I love it.
rustcharm··on Why I’m done with Chrome
I don't like to be "forced" to do anything, but I happen to like browsers that sync! This way I can save a file to my "reading list" or add a bookmark at work and I'll see it at home. Very handy.
rustcharm··on Coding Error Forces 2019 Subaru Ascents to be Scrapped
No. It was found during a sample inspection. That’s too late.
rustcharm··on Coding Error Forces 2019 Subaru Ascents to be Scrapped
This was really an inspection error. A human can miss a weld, too, so manufacturing lines rely on inspections. Someone was signing off on work that wasn't done. Whether a human or a robot was supposed to do that work is a nit.
rustcharm··on 3D engine entirely made of MS Excel formulae
I love Excel, and to show how it really is "better" notice nobody does these things in the FOSS spreadsheet wannabees...
rustcharm··on Conference Codes of Conduct: Is 'Ladies Lingerie' a Harmless Joke or Harassment?
This is our future.
rustcharm··on [dead]
I was not allowed to used a "calorie counter" web app as a sample app for a certain new web framework at a presentation I planned to make because it may be upsetting to "people of size" and people with "disordered eating" issues.

I declined to change my example, and pulled out of the conference.

rustcharm··on How Many of Your Memories Are Fake?
Right. And even very reliable honest people might get some facts very wrong after, say, 35 years. Of course, you can't even suggest this anymore.
rustcharm··on Why most female newscasters have the same hair
Beauty Standards for women are narrower? Men all wear the same suit to formal events.
rustcharm··on FrontPage 98: Elegant and Exquisite (1997)
Here's an article stating that Netscape charged $49. It was in PC Magazine October 22, 1996

@dang can you edit/delete the parent comment? No need to spread lies here!

Don't forget the first program in this space: Adobe Pagemill.
rustcharm··on A proposal to roll back exclusionary zoning would make housing more affordable
In Palo Alto, California, the people there would consider themselves "progressive." Yet they only will accept below market-rate housing if they can hand-pick the "right" people. This, IMHO, is disgusting, blatant, racism.

(And it's another way to pay people off-the-books and under-the table in the form of discounted housing. In theory, the discount is taxable income when it's provided because of employment, but good luck getting _these_ people to pay up.)

rustcharm··on Microsoft intercepting Firefox, Chrome installation on Windows 10 Insider build
The alternate browsers allowed on iOS are really just wrappers for their engine. You can’t really have an alternate browser in Apple ‘s iOS
rustcharm··on Microsoft intercepting Firefox, Chrome installation on Windows 10 Insider build
iOS doesn’t even allow alternate browsers that aren’t just wrappers for their engine.
