Even worse: the comment was obviously referencing TFA, which your dismissive retort failed to address, falling back to the cliche of "every generation complains about the new and thinks old stuff was better". It's a…
"This site" doesn't exist. Individual people do. And you'll see plenty of people all hyped over AI or any new tech here.
I think your comment is dismissive of valid criticism. Sorry, but I'm not convinced by the line of (blanket) argument who goes "the old always complain about the young". It fails to engage with the actual details of the…
I thought this was how credit cards were used the world over. It's certainly how I use them. How do Americans use them that differs from this? Color me confused. (Also: installments. They are often the norm in my…
Are you implying the same people that are pessimistic about the internet are also AI hypers or tech entrepreneurs? Because HN isn't monolithic, it's entirely possible -- in fact, likely -- that these are two distinct…
I love the game, but it was truly impossible back then (pirated, no manual, no idea what I had to do) and even today, with an emulator and every hint on the internet ;) I know it's not actually impossible, some people…
I understand the saying, I'm arguing it cannot be used as a blanket dismissal instead of actually addressing the point. My comment did elaborate a bit after the sentence you quoted. It's as irritating as those comments…
I made a specific point, it cannot be simply deflected with "every generation always thinks <thing>".
An alternative that's a bit like cheating since it's not a real C64 but a lookalike running VICE is getting a TheC64. https://retrogames.biz/products/thec64/ It looks a lot like a C64 breadbin, with an actual working…
I despised the limitations of the included BASIC but loved my C64. I also had a pirated Pascal and learned a bit with it (not much). It wasn't a good platform for programming, but it still made me fall in love with…
I get what you mean but I think it's fundamentally different. The folks back then had more control over the (limited) capabilities of the hardware, and in order not to just blindly type code from a magazine (which we…
The 8 Bit Guy has a pretty good video about the Tandy 1000, a great machine.
I was disappointed with BR2049 but thought his Dune adaptation is actually good...
No, he's a replicant who believes he's a seasoned detective. Nothing Deckard believes about himself is true. Or, if you believe he's human, his the typical hard-boiled detective, he did behave in the way Ford portrays…
> And the actor that played Leon (Brion James) is also difficult to watch (he was a distraction in The Fifth Element as well). Wow, couldn't disagree more. I mean, Brion James wasn't a good actor, but he aced his role…
I felt the same way about BR2049. I know some people love it, but to me it was an unnecessary movie that did nothing better than the original, and it only cheapened some of the characters. Also, Jared Leto: I simply…
> I interpret the ending as Batty coming to the end of his life and realising that all life is precious, not just his own. The voice over in the original theatrical version makes this very explicit, in fact.
Oh, I don't think pigeons spread disease. I just think city pigeons are filthy and poop all over everything. Frequently mutilated, missing toes or whole limbs. Also frequently ran over by cars. I like the kind of wild…
> They poop on people they don't like That's not so bad! That alone makes them better than pigeons, which simply poop on everything (sidewalks, cars, people, other pigeons) regardless of any personal animosity or lack…
Out of curiosity, what can you do to upset a crow so much? Shoo them? (Where I live there are no crows, please excuse my ignorance. Only common pigeons, as filthy as they are dumb, and they don't seem to hold a grudge,…
I think the parent commenter means the description could include where the planets and major events are sourced from, not necessarily a coherent timeline.
What, no Scarus Sector? No Gudrun, no Thracian Primaris! Eisenhorn and Ravenor wiped off the galactic map!? Just kidding. This is pretty cool! I assume it's a WIP, too.
Some adults cannot. Also, consider there are lots of people with conditions that deviate slightly from the normal (some medical, some merely "not standard"). They too are legitimate users of public bathrooms.
Yes, it does. It's hosted in a software development blog called "Just Another Dev", with other entries such as "I'm AWS certified? Should you trust me?". Is your 80 year old mother a software developer? If not, she's…
I still don't understand. Your own "evidence" is completely anecdotal. I and others (including the author of this post) have seen engineers who don't understand what the different components of the "agent system" (as…
