Because MOND doesn't actually explain anything, it's basically just fine tuning equations to make them fit with observations. Dark matter is the opposite, it takes all the observations and induces a fitting explanation

> cant be seen, does not emit, absorb, or reflect light. Also it can 'pass through' other normal matter, and other dark matter

Why do you say that like it's obviously ridicule or impossible? Neutrinos do exist and they fit all these criteria. We just know they're not dark matter (or at least not all of it) because they're not heavy enough (and some other things).

Don't try to rely on intuition when thinking about particles, there's no reason for evolution to make what happens at quantum scale or relativistic scale intuitive to us.


If XML+DTD was so great, it would still be used.

I don't think that's a fair assessment. Plenty of great technologies died out for many reasons unrelated to its effectiveness.

Ok but I’ve used VSCode for almost 10 years, got mad at this once, and disabled it instantly. This sucks, but maybe don’t overreact?

I'd like my tools to not have a time-bomb attached to them, no matter if it takes 10 years to explode.

And honestly I think this case is just a perpetually clueless manager getting over-joyous with vibecoding (to the point of being marveled at changing two lines of code without blowing everything up).

It's probably going to be reverted in the coming days. Which doesn't change the fact that it's a very Microsoft way of operating.


Yeah, a company can only be shitty and "fix" their mistakes for so long until the general public realizes that the company doesn't have its customers best interests at heart.

Feels like a poor philosophy to me. 10 years feels like plenty of value to get out of something before switching.

How is this a time bomb? What was destroyed?

- Automatically activated audio cues (purportedly for accessibility) without consideration for users with auditory sensitivity; continued to release changes that would override attempts to disable the unwanted sound; dismissed with "but how else could we possibly notify people that we added the feature?"

- Refusing for over seven years to offer a simple UI to clear "issues" pane, instead blaming plugin authors for not 'owning' the content. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/66982

Microsoft hasn't cared about the actual users of VSCode for a very long time.


Just because you can opt out doesn't mean that they're not shitty for defaulting you to opt in.

It is certainly bad behavior that Microsoft did this. But it's irrational to jump from there to "this is what they always did and always will do" as OP did. Corporations are not unchangeable monoliths, and it was perfectly reasonable to use Microsoft tools when they were acting decently towards their users. Now that they have turned user-hostile, it makes sense to avoid them until they learn their lesson, and so on.

People act like a corporation has character traits, as a person does. But it doesn't. You can't strongly predict future behavior based on the present the way you can with a person, so it makes no sense to have seething eternal hatred for a company.


Hatred for a corporation is as useful as hatred for a nuclear bomb. No matter how harmful or destructive, it lacks any sort of free will that would make it a reasonable target for such hate.

There's actual people making it happen, though.


I always take "I hate X company" as "I hate the decisions X company makes and the people who make these decisions" for this reason.

But it's kinda verbose.


Microsoft is unforgivable. So much time and so much money and they made the world worse whenever they could make a buck. They need to be broken up.

Google software is trash


> IC becomes an EM

What?


IC = Individual Contributor

EM = Engineering Manager

The idea being that you no longer contribute yourself, you manage agents doing that.


That’s exactly what I’ve become. A monkey typing prompts and pressing Enter to confirm plans and actions.

Obviously I am exaggerating but my days shifted from figuring out issues and coming up with solutions to explaining the issue to Claude and supervising the work.

What worries me is two things:

1. Current models were mostly trained on human work. Do we have enough training materials created now for the models to progress or they’ll be training or other models output? That cannot end well. 2. I’ve started as a Junior Engineer and had opportunity to learn and become Senior. The job market for junior is really bad cause businesses plan just for couple quarters ahead. They replaced juniors with AI. Who’s gonna replace seniors? And don’t say AI ;)


Not sure about the US but in France there’s absolutely no way this would be confused with Apple Thunderbolt. No one talks about it, and I don’t even know it it’s even a thing anymore since USB-C.

As for Thunderbird, it’s not the same name? Idk what to say


My first thought was "why would Mozilla support a proposal to expose Thunderbolt to the Web after rejecting similar proposals for USB and Bluetooth?"

So yeah, especially in light of the lightning bolt logo and "thunderbolt.io" domain name, I think it's confusing enough that I'm honestly surprised there's no "Thunderbolt is a registered trademark of Intel Corporation used under license" notice on the site.


The domain name is the most confusing part! "This is thunderbolt.io. No, not the I/O device, the AI client"...


Standard is better than better. For all of its flaws, I’ll take Git any day over any (better) alternative, because the value is in the absence of fragmentation. If a repo doesn’t use Git, I’m out.


> We used Claude […]

Ughhhh… I know this is probably legit here, but reading these words make me lose interest sooo fast these days…


Curious to know how many HNers still support Trump. They’ll probably say they never supported him, but they were pretty numerous (or at least more than you would expect on HN) saying he wasn’t all that bad (who cares about human rights when money is flowing) at the beginning of his term.


Enough to flag this thread.


Flagging Trump threads could also be people who don't like Trump.


There are a lot of Zionists that patrol this site and this is exactly what they want and support.
