I simply said they were not the same. You and another commenter have incorrectly inferred that I was talking about their victims. Says a lot more about you than it does about me.

Good luck with that. Their services are essential to my life and I don't think they're doing this dramatic draconian version of censorship everyone thinks. Never seen this kind of hate from the HN crowd towards amazon or apple's manufacturers and warehouse workers working in deplorable conditions, which is far and away the worst thing a company could be doing. Not whatever this is.

The CCP is not the same as nazis. This is silly.

Actually, now that i'm re-reading this, it's a disaster. She claims to write this to help newcomers, yet everything is so cryptic.

`it kicks off a "serviceworker" thread to handle it.`

It doesn't even tell me how I should do this. I don't know what 'serviceworker' code looks like. I don't know what 'kicking off' means.

This post reads like it was made for maybe 3 or 4 people in the world who truly 'get it' and if you aren't in that elite club you're a terrible engineer, apparently. There's not even a lick of example code to get an idea of what is going on. Engineering is a big word that shouldn't be used in this blog post.

Very well put. It's also a matter of use cases. These people seemingly implement servers for big companies. I just make shitty websites. We aren't their target audience yet it comes off as 'this is what everyone should be doing'.

One of the best game soundtracks in the world

I don't know what kind of selective bargaining power you guys have, but i would kill just to get my foot in the door of a FAANG.

It preys directly on human psychology by creating myths about how life used to be great and invoking nostalgia and frustration in broken people who just need guidance. No one who likes fascism sees it the way normal people do, because it's designed to trick people and weed its way into collective society and psyche.

This is why we must make a continuous effort to stomp it before it spreads and never listen to people who call us silly for saying Modi is a fascist just because he isn't Hitler's level yet.

But it does other people good after i die, and i care about other people even after i die.

Frankly, a stupid quote.

"What good is praise except to make your lifestyle a little more comfortable"

That sounds pretty darn good to me.

And the fact that your memory and work can be passed down and influence a theoretically infinite number of people.

> Terminal editors don't suck. They require learning and discipline, something that some might argue is becoming a lost art in this field. In the days of "gluing modules together", maybe vim isn't for you, but it's for me and this fluff piece contributed nothing.

I mean, I use vim too. Any project that is sufficiently large benefits greatly from a file handler, there is nothing to be proud about for remembering each and every subfile. Why not just put it right there in view? You can't possibly argue it somehow rots the brain; i mean we aren't even talking about writing code here, it's just accessing files.

It's a shame more HN people don't understand this. You can be pro-business and still recognise the injustice of executive salary.

I quit the site for about a month, came back because it really is a great idea generator.

Math really opens you up to new ideas and changes your way of thinking, but you're right it's a serious life long investment, not just a little tool you can pick up on the side.

He also said that most of the issues with writing kernels have nothing to do with choice of programming language, but instead hardware compatibility. Neither Rust nor anything else could help this.

Someone pointed out that most of them probably cited as a joke, like in the legal field where they cite ridiculous lawsuit names ("The United States of America vs Satan")

Maybe not everyone, but most of the time the reason you quit is because of a new job. In all honesty the smart practice is to search for a new job immediately after you get one and keep updating your backlog of potential jobs (you don't have to apply, just keep them in mind)
