Are we really a minority ? Feels like a lot of people just suffer in silence. Even though I dislike SQL on many levels, I would be hard pressed to find a better, widely supported a…

Just spitballing; I have seen prefixing integers of arbitrary length with a bit 1 as the most significant bit as a way to avoid loosing the leading 0s when serializing the integers…

I hate that my first move when I see an em dash has become to check the old posts of the author to check whether it's a new "habit" of them. sigh skip

> what privileges do you feel you've had to give up on the path to a slightly more equitable society? None. The privileges that I was supposed to enjoy thanks to my gender were eit…

If you are okay with men being forced to go to war by laws, are you also okay with women being forced to "make more people" by laws ?

We already disgrace ourselves by having some of the core ideologies of our society being blatant lies. We have been repeatedly told that "equality" is primordial to our values. Tha…

If society enforces men's roles using the law and you're fine with it, don't come complaining when it does the same for women.

I don't know. A lot of countries in East Asia seem to struggle demographically just as much as Western countries do, if not more. But at least it seems they didn't go for the easy …

This is an overly charitable take on the role of AI companies. A more realistic view would be that they shamelessly plundered the work of millions of people, used it to destroy the…

> it's delivered for free (as in beer) to the government Not everywhere though; it's up to the canton or municipality to implement this. It's literally the only reason I still buy …

There is a significant difference between jury duty and military service when it comes to risks and bodily harm. Equating the two as both being "reductions" is absurdly missing the…

Sorry, I meant the spec and code of the toy project described in the post. I don't necessarily expect their secret sauce to be openly available. But given the grandiose claims made…

Is there a link to the specification and the resulting generated code ? I skimmed through the article and the author's github profile, but couldn't find anything related. Seems lik…

Because Iraq or Afghanistan weren't threatening the man in power. Just take a look at what is currently happening in Iran if you wonder what happens when the local authority fears …

It's not just the ads though. Am I to think that Youtube helpfully replacing a video title (whose original text I understand) by a half-assed translation into a language that I don…

Color me unconvinced. Google can't even figure what language I speak even though I voluntarily provide them the information in several different ways. I can't understand half the a…

Unless the goal is to distract from some unfavorable, heavily redacted files. In which case, this seems to be a resounding success. Using war to divert unwanted attention away from…

Yeah, I would have been interested in the diff too. That said, the article does mention replacing basically all the hardware and still encountering the issue. FWIW, my personal exp…

It doesn't seem to be just Steam. From what I see (from Switzerland), other online stores relying on PayPal seem to be impacted too. Though if the store let me try to use PayPal an…

Indeed. As far as I'm concerned, the touchpads have been the killer feature of the Steam Deck. Emulating a mouse using a stick or the gyros doesn't click for me. The touchpads are …

I suspect you have an issue in the way you select the top 2 when they are several elements with the same value. I tried an implementation with the values being integers between 1 a…

It will never cease to shock me how enslaving men for military purpose is still considered an acceptable thing to do in developed countries. Always with the same excuse "It's neces…

Having an alter-ego is one thing, but I strongly suspect that he had at least one sock puppet here during the drama with HN [0] * a brand new account suddenly appears, defending Ma…

I feel that a lot of men voted for Trump, not because they liked him, but because they felt rejected by the Left as a whole. If you go on left-leaning media, you can find comments …

I would guess Intel is counting on the fact that most people are not knowledgeable enough to pinpoint a defective CPU being the issue when the computer starts crashing. Heck, even …
