because they maintain the websites for social status, if the user never sees the specific website or knows they used it, you can't gain any social status
Re:Git rebase -I is not that scary on Sunday July 26, 2026 @05:40PM (#49062708)
if you're a beginner thats going to be very difficult, restoring the git dir a few times makes the learning process much faster, till it all clicks and you don't need too anymore
Re:Git rebase -I is not that scary on Sunday July 26, 2026 @04:26AM (#49055912)
you can just make a backup copy of .git or your entire project dir. When you get lost, just delete your .git, copy from the backup and try again

Re:Ask HN: Why Are Companies Tokenmaxxing? on Tuesday April 28, 2026 @06:41AM (#47932627)
if i had to guess: people are afraid to use new tools and the initial reduction in productivity and don't know what the acceptable $ usage is limiting their growth/self-education and exploration of an entire new way of working.

basically its a green light to use all the time and resources they want to explore and learn

i create 4 fixed workspaces per monitor in the config, and use it that way
Can someone translate

This Apple policy is the only thing stopping chrome from having a full monopoly, and we should be careful trying to remove it

you're describing proprietary software with a full support contract.

the point of free software(tm) is gaining benefit from cooperation and community, and nobody is obligated to do anything.

In the actions overview, just the spinner icon (svg w/ css animation) takes 25-40% cpu and 10% gpu in my chrome. Enough to keep my fingers very warm on the laptop
Re:Azure has run out of compute. Anyone else affected? on Friday November 25, 2022 @11:48AM (#33744209)
well can't create an instance without having quota available

and low quota is low, like 10 cpu, so start a 2 node k8s cluster with 8cpu each? nope, go request quota increase

Re:Azure has run out of compute. Anyone else affected? on Friday November 25, 2022 @11:43AM (#33744151)
no, they have very low quotas by default, and you have to request increases through the portal, which then get rejected and you click the button to contact support/email and then you sometimes have to negotiate with them

you have to do this for every single instance type they have, can't even experiment or test other instance types cause its too much trouble to get quota

Or that then gives people the motivation to work on gcc, have to solve the chicken-egg

on tv at least, they say that apology is the same as admitting guilt, so they might not want to do that for legal reason

anyone know if that applies to the real world?

same, couldn't get past the captcha (chrome)

and if you pick for them not to email you, they try to trick you with dark pattern (all trust gone)

EDIT: i should believe where he said he didn't do it, not whee he said he did it

Why is this never framed as a universal right for food, housing, medical care.

Feel like that has a much bigger chance of going somewhere

Does it affect listening to music? Does it also trigger the impatience?

Well stopping bots from buying tickets and vpns so they can resell them at insane prices is exactly why events need AXS type stuff, and then they abuse that for their own anti-consumer actions
