There is simply far too much content being created all the time for current judicial systems to keep up with. Much of the law breaking content out there is never pursued. If we agr…

I have never used Ring directly, but my experience dealing with it as a transitive dependency leads me to avoid it. Ring has a policy[0] of only supporting the latest released vers…

Calling mass surveillance a "fundamentally Soviet activity" weakens your argument here. Is mass surveillance something that happened in the Soviet Union? Of course. But it also hap…

As of time of writing, it is indeed front page on HN. Your comment's other claims also appear to be true. Since we agree on the facts so far, let's discuss the article.

From the rest of your comment I assume that you mean well, but I would encourage you to reconsider your statement that being gay is fashionable, and reflect on why it might be offe…

There could be no reasonable use case for something like this, and yet it would still have artistic value and this would still be an interesting article. It's a brilliant hack and …

As the kind of more conservative Rust user GP references, I've had a great time with the derive_more crate's From derive [0]. This lets me write code like this: #[derive(From, Debu…

I highly recommend reading David Wallace-Wells' "The Uninhabitable Earth" - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41552709-the-uninhabitab... The book is quite information dense, int…
