A couple of years ago I was read news articles about heat waves so severe that birds were falling down the sky. Pretty apocalyptic. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/climat…

From what I read from the PR comments, the case is that the unsafe blocks behave in a way that allows for UB. This is expected, because unsafe rust can leave your program in an unh…

I used window managers for years, but the hurdle of actually configuring stuff not-related to the WM itself (like setting up dark mode) made me switch to a full-fledged desktop env…

This is an insightful comment, but I feel like you omit the fact that LLMs often give out verifiably false information that can hurt the user or other people. It is true that this …

I wish the most popular software forge didn't include a bunch of other software solutions like issue tracking or forums. Having everything in one service definitely increases inter…

Massive strikes that are hard to contain got use the 8 hour work day, weekends and a lot of labor rights. Civil right movements won only because a huge portion of them were militan…

How is Sweden, Finland or Norway in any way socialist? I haven't heard anything about seizing the means of production or overthrowing of the capitalist class from them. Unless you …

IMF forces countries to adopt austerity politics[1], causing lower economic activity and often leading to economy shrinkage[2], and forces countries to open their markets to foreig…

Very true, let's look at some of the strategic partners of the US: Saudi Arabia, an absolute monarchy, Israel, a state currently committing genocide.

Start with the City Watch series of Discworld. If you like Guards! Guards! then you'll like the next books. After reading a couple of them I'd start branching into other series.

I definitely didn't expect this in a HN thread

There are only two hard problems in Computer Science: there's one joke, and it's not even funny

They could use the heuristics to build a list of domains to block and then have someone review it. After doing it for a long time, they could build a neural model on top of that, a…

The issue with the 97% percent you arrived at is the implicit assumption that only people from the US read the article.

Just block the domain. At first, you can block manually, but we know Google doesn't like doing things that way. Fortunately, they have a lot of heuristics to find sites like that; …

At first, I upovted zepolen's comment about there being no social contract, only license, but something bugged me about that, and I felt that I wasn't right. After thinking about i…

Sorry for the off-topic, but your name an anagram for the word "throwaway" with letters sorted from alphabetically, while the other person you're talking with has the word "throwaw…

I wholeheartedly agree with you. The importance of those people has been proven when, during the first waves of COVID, they stopped being called low wage workers , and instead word…

As I mentioned above - one or two clauses like that won't hurt performance, but I have seen situations, when bad CSS (a lot of *'s, too long selectors, a lot of dead and unused cla…

Note that the owl selector is pretty slow when it comes to being processed by browsers. If you use it sparingly, it shouldn't be so bad, but leave it all over the place, and you'll…

I'm not asking whether the expansion happened, but whether you think whether it happened because people in the US dislike each other, which is a completely different questions alto…

Are you sure this is what really happened? The US built cities like any other country on this planet, but the influx of immigrants and people's pursuit of wealth pushed them to set…

I don't think that is true. If you look at how larger residential areas looked in the States historically, you'll these placese were very livable, since there weee no cars. The mai…
