> If Covid was a more serious issue, we’d all be doomed.

Or maybe people stopped caring because they realized that it's not a serious issue?

> vaccinations

Which, according to the commenter, don't work, apparently

> mandates and social distancing.

Yea lets put everyone under house arrest for the rest of their lives.

Ideally

I was hoping 8 hour download times was a thing of the past

Well the covid lockdowns showed us that

People have been talking about how hospitalization numbers are lagged since before Thanksgiving. It's been almost two months. It's time to stop hoping for doom and gloom and accept that it's over.

Yea right...streaming is not the reason people are less engaged in "news"

> Here is an extensive step-by-step tutorial which describes in detail how to create and deploy a React-based web app frontend using TypeScript and Redux Toolkit on top of a Node.js based AWS Lambda backend with a DynamoDB database, connect and integrate them through API Gateway and CloudFront, and explains how to codify and automate the required cloud infrastructure and deployment process using Terraform.

I think it's time we take a step back and address this insane complexity required to send HTML documents to users...

And big cars are caused by safety regulations. People like to deny unintended consequences, but modern vehicles are a big example of this.

Back in the olden days, they were looked at as weirdos and ignored.

Put pressure on Microsoft and Apple to stop being so awful.

Or they just like being totalitarian

> The other path to Hell is to not act on good intentions.

Only if you ignore unintended consequences

Well in the age of social media where people love to get their daily doom/rage porn dopamine hit, it's a big money maker for media companies

But if you solve the problem, then you let a perfectly good crises go to waste when you can use it to be draconian

Too bad California is also banning generators

Reminds me of the Jocko video

Blender is the best open source project around. Major kudos to everyone who works on it for making such an excellent tool

But if we do that then the media doesn't have a scare tactic

I would like to know who in the world ISN'T fatigued. I'd go into work and everyone is tired and fatigued...

Anywhere on the western half of the US requires $100k+ to have a place to live that isn't a studio apartment or having roommates

Thank goodness someone finally said it

It's really annoying when I'm browsing a page and my mouse "accidentally" moves over something and a giant thing pops up in front. Terrible UX. End up having to play dodge-the-mines with my mouse

This is a single file library. To include it in a project, in the header you put:

  #include "Microsoft_craziness.h"`

Then in a c/cpp file:

  #define MICROSOFT_CRAZINESS_IMPLEMENTATION
  #include "Microsoft_craziness.h"

The define causes the actual functions to be put in, while without it only the declarations are included.

Frameworks and libraries are the cause of complexity, imo

> California’s COVID transmission rate is higher than many states in the South, most of which have fewer pandemic restrictions, according to data from the CDC. As of November 21, California’s seven-case average was more than twice that of Florida, despite Governor Ron Desantis’ state orders banning mask and vaccine mandates. Similarly, as of November 11, California’s seven-day death rate per 1 million people was eleven times higher than Florida’s.

Facebook just wants them to go through their special channels so that they can get paid

It's about increasing the available labor market

Computers really are not doing much more today than they were in the early 2000s. Despite the massive increases in home computational power, the only thing that is really visibly improved is the graphical fidelity of video games. All other software is doing the same stuff it did 20 years ago...just worse.

Bad software is more due to needing to ship stuff ASAP for marketing, the board of directors, and for the investors. This decline in software can really be matched up with the increase of startup culture.

I would also argue that complexity is developers own doing, trying to strap every new fangled library, engine, tool, API ,buzzword of the day, etc. to their program...when there is zero reason to. Nothing about what modern software does is more complex than it was in the 2000s
