I had to truncate and got pissed because titles on HN are too small (it’s not the first time I was forced to editorialize a title because of HN limitations), so I just cut at the end. The all caps part “GUI” was definitely a surprise!
Yet when we do this by, say, homeschooling, the HN commentariat piles up hundreds of comments accusing us of child neglect and a lack of concern for society.
Do they? I've mentioned homeschooling on hn before without issue. There's always knobs who can't have a nuanced view of course, but generally the discussions I've seen have tended positive.
This[1] thread has a good collection of them. Has plenty of comments in favor of course, but the negative ones are present in high quantities. There's a reason even anodyne headlines like that can get 800+ comments on HN.
I missed that one. But it seems like a lively debate for the most part rather than a single opinion pile on.
But yeah I get your point that it's like there's an unreasonable number of people who have a strong opinion on it despite having no actual experience or evidence or reason to comment. Homeschool is a small minority and the majority are biased to what they know. We homeschool 3 kids, didn't intend to to it before it happened, and I would have held some very incorrect opinions about it too, for what little thought I ever actually gave it.
SpaceX's landing footage has only been decent for the past few years. If I recall, they were able to fix it once Starlink reached a reasonable level of performance. Before that, their sea landings looked about the same as this BO one.
The cause seems to be the heat from the landing burn messing with normal wireless signals.
The "buffering" message looks like they are using the wrong streaming technology though. They should use a fault tolerant real-time video codec, transmitted via UDP, which produces glitches during brief interruptions but not complete aborts with a "buffering" message.
I appreciate your hugs... Luckily they were not fatal. It turns out that once I paid our hosting company twice as much, they intubated us and expanded our airway. If you're ever in the area, and we can arrange a time, I'd be happy to give you a tour. And if it's all the same to you, let's limit ourselves to handshakes, I've very recently learned that too many hugs can have unintended consequences.

My previous-gen Kia Sedona does this as well (at least when using the built-in maps).
I saw "Bockscar" (the B-29 that dropped the atomic bomb on Nagasaki) yesterday in Dayton.
It's an interesting feeling to stand by a beautiful, poised, marvelously-engineered mass death machine. It doesn't look scary at all, yet that silhouette must have been as terrifying in its prime as the B-2 is now.
I think in this specific case, it was due to using trademarks. I can't remember the specific channel name, but I think they were half-ass posing as SpaceX.
Entirely unrelated, but the sections, toolbars, and controls in that RenderDoc app are so cleanly separated compared to modern dev tools. I wish more apps still looked like this.
