I take it you've never disabled Windows telemetry settings and had them magically restored after an update?

This company either does what it wants to abuse people, or is too incompetent to make their software work as instructed. Both possibilities are bad. I expect the same translates to GitHub.

Why would you want your remote source control repository to host your homepage?

Hypocritical; you did the same with the hyperbole. Why are you stooping to my level instead of being the better person?

Interesting how you decided to switch to hyperbole instead of providing evidence for your claim. Backing up your viewpoint would have easily shut me down, putting the ball in my court to do the same. Instead you gave a knee-jerk childish response.

Both my claim and theirs are unsupported by evidence, therefore they are equally valid.

It's because it has a smart-sounding name. Some people are shallow and performative; some nice-looking blog post says they can have "atomic architecture", then the trend starts and everybody wants to show how enlightened they are.

> There is no worse feeling for a programmer than waking up, walking up to the machine that was supposed to work through the night, and seeing it did absolutely nothing, stupidly waiting for hours for a response to a question that didn't even matter.

No, there's one worse feeling. Walking up to the machine that was supposed to work throughout the night, and seeing it had a surprise update that rebooted the system.

One of my favorite things about ditching Windows.

I think that's different because I have a positive personal opinion of the GDPR and a negative personal opinion about what the UK is doing. Therefore the GDPR is good and this is bad. It's really quite objective.

A small subset of technical users do read logs. If a desktop app has a problem, I have a fighting chance of fixing it if I have logs. Error messages may not give the full picture; what was the app trying to do before the error occurred? Logs let me debug slowness and crashes.

Interesting combination of statements.

I keep feeling this feeling and it depresses me. I start reading an article and then gradually realise it's a load of AI slop, but by the time I get that realisation I've already wasted several minutes of my life. It's a sinking feeling like I've been duped, but not for anybody's gain - the "author" isn't earning anything from my view, they've just wasted my time for no reason. Even my misfortune is valueless. It happens again and again and again, it's wearing me down.

What are we doing here?

Are we really at the point where some people see XML as a spooky old technology? The phrasing dotted around this article makes me feel that way. I find this quite strange.

The result for "ai" is possibly skewed because it's a far more popular talking point in recent times versus HN's history as a whole.

It's an advantage, sure, but to me the serialisation format is the least interesting thing. Others are similarly optimized too. I think the extensibility and approach to standards is far more interesting than the fact it uses angle brackets instead of braces.

Why are those scripts running in interactive login shells? If they are influenced by the configuration of profile, then the scripts are bad.

I think they need to restrict their definition of city more. I named some tiny villages and it accepted them.
