    Ask HN: It's 2019. Why start a new project in anything other than Rust?

    The only reasons I can think of is petty fanboy reasons. Rust solves most problems and will make the world a lot safer. There's no reason to start new projects in Go, C++. C#, etc,…

    It’s sad that dang believes Jobs’ daughter’s voice doesn’t matter and doesn’t contain “actual information”. I guess women’s speech isn’t welcome.

    What?! A backdoor into iCloud is much more valuable than any hacked bitcoin wallet

    I'm surprised they got any text messages! When I'm at Defcon (and I was there this year), I have a burner phone (usually a $15 flip phone) and a burner laptop with me. I go far awa…

    This is a great list. We've been looking for a domain for an anti-Obesity website and we don't want to be doxxed by angry obese people.

    The Tech Community in the US generally only cares about "bikeshedding" issues that are easy to have strong opinions on and don't really matter. Like making sure your language is "i…

    1. Why doesn't Apple open source iOS? 2. These weren't drivers. Did you read the article? 3. The larger share of the blame belongs to Apple. Why does Apple trust devices like this …

    Nonsense! Open source things like PHP, WordPress, Apache, and Linux are attacked constantly.

    You completely misunderstand my point. I'm a card-carrying NRA member, but I wince when I hear someone notice that a anti-2nd-amendment zealot mixes up terms like "magazine" and "c…

    The early mac days when there was no hard-disk, maybe. But if you inserted another floppy when the virus was in-memory, it would spread!

    Right. The Mac Zealots will say "These aren't viruses! They're unwanted programs purposefully installed by the user who thought he was updating Acrobat." But it's like a 2nd amendm…

    I'm a 50-something and my Mom with her Mac manages to get infected with browser-based malware. And she's pretty careful. But sometimes those "update" notifications look real to her…

    This is simply wrong. We switched from Macs to Windows 10 because of the better monitor options available for professional color grading work. And true "Cinema" and consumer 4K res…

    This isn't 4K or even 4x HD. There's not enough vertical resolution. Consumer 4K is 2160 vertical pixels. This is only 1600. If you write software for a living, vertical space is p…
