They forget always the "," between "bug" and "fixes".

I’m French but… there isn’t a comma, is there? “Fixes” is the main noun, “bug” qualifies the noun. “Fixes of bugs” or “bugfixes” like “weekday” or “storm trooper”. Whether there is a space or not depends on lexicalization, ie whether it feels like one concept. Bugfix is a single concept but “snow patrol” is two; and modern compounds tend to be two separate words, so “bugfix” is only joined in technical environments, maybe not for the broader audience.

Joke lost in translation. He's implying those who engage in these types of nonsense release notes often add bugs instead of fixing them.

When a lot of people call them "PC"s, it is.


You are not supposed to download anything from Github. /s

> in a neutral, privacy-respecting country

Is there such a thing ?


> Poor Johnny still won't encrypt

As long as Google, Apple or Microsoft controls your device, all bets are off. You can "encrypt"mails in Outlook but, Microsoft also has your key.


> Designers need to be careful to not give people rope for them to hang themselves with.

See Win 95 resolution change workflow.

This was 20 years ago. A lot of knowledge was lost since then.


It will trigger SW bugs.

Crafted ? More like: if it compiles, ship it.

I would say both, but socalgal is one of those who are sensitive to this.

The business plan seems to often be one of fomenting rage with plenty of people not feeling like it is happening at all.


> Craft software that makes people feel something

We have Microsoft, Google, Apple. This is enough pain. We don't need more.


> Surely, this time we'll find something!

You won"t.


We saw plenty, but nobody cared. Let's see how that works out for us in the long run.

People forget. Easily. Just bombard their brains with something else and everything is fine.

Reminds me of the 49s mark of the first song on Dispepsi by Negativland: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyDL1I6D8Hg&list=OLAK5uy_lGC...

"You can actually cause the consumer to forget something he has previously learned... by putting into his head a newer and stronger concept... You can actually remove an advertising story from his memory, and in it's place you can substitute one of your own... as we seize a larger and larger share of the consumer's brain box..."


I'm always happy to be reminded that HN users are not part of "people"
