My theory on this is that it is easier for designers to empathize with users who are the same age or younger, since in these situations they've had the experience of the user's age, whereas very few designers have had…
It's kind of funny to point out issues with SQL's composability, and in the same breath spec out a language in which "a set (including an empty one) cannot be an element of another set". There are many real life…
This was 2007. Is this used in production these days? If not, what else is used instead?
That strategy is dumb because in practice people don't mind or prefer using distinct apps for each of their subnetworks; and when these networks start overlapping in the same app, they start posting less (Facebook's…
This gives me an idea... Even in fullscreen, I believe hovering the mouse near the top of the screen will also bring back some controls into view, but temporarily... So there's already some kind of "peek mode" for the…
Thanks. This is a great reference indeed! The challenge is preserving ability for content to control all pixels; without it, the content ecosystem ends up developing single-purpose, generally crappy apps, which isn't…
Hmm not if your users are trained to press Ctrl-Alt-Del again... The login screen would also allow them to order the OS to log off the current session too.
In large companies, there's another factor to consider, which is that if you're a few years into the company, the stock grants that you received a few years back and that are still vesting now are now possibly worth a…
You can negotiate for a reasonable increase but if an offer comes in at half of what you're making, negotiation is a waste of time for both parties.
Education is no doubt one of the problems underlying credulity but it is not the only one. I have seen very well-educated people repeatedly fall for misinformation on social networks that played to their preconceptions.
> Protected from prying eyes Yes but only by law, which allows exceptions, notably law enforcement, national security, etc. And I wasn't saying this causes fake news, but it does pose a moderation challenge when done at…

Ad-nominem!
Excellent research. I wonder who the artist is who drew the typeface and whether they realized at the time that it would have such significance that somebody would still be studying their work so many decades later
Thanks. I thought this was about the gaming industry, which also has a tradition of crazy crunch time.
Opening up the site, I saw the headline load up, then something asking for notification permissions, then I'm not sure exactly what happened but many elements came on screen at the same time and the browser window…
I definitely felt on the wrong side of a gazillion popup banners after that click
Ah yes sorry fixed that
I'm sure nano/pico and the like are nice but to me there's two things a terminal editor can try to solve for: being nice, or bring ubiquitous. The nicest ones (say emacs) are way nicer than nano in terms of features,…
Thanks for sharing the insight... This being HN, it doesn't necessarily read to me like a disadvantage for QUIC the protocol as much as an opportunity for someone to come up with a way to do hardware-assisted QUIC in…
Because the consequences of claiming these things but actually not doing them would be both prohibitively large and impossible to avoid in a large company with a history of whistleblowing employees.
This is a badly designed survey. Why would I give you my name before even knowing what for?
Middle of the road?
If the main point is that we moved from a state of information scarcity to a state of information abundance, one piece is missing in this article: abundance is not, by itself, utility — to turn abundance into utility,…
How is there more coupling between a company's profit and negative social externalities resulting from its actions when the company is privately-owned? If anything, I would think there's rather less coupling in…
