Reality more surprising than HN quips: https://github.com/cloud-gouv/securix

I chuckled. This is, in fact, actual quote, see[1] for explanation. [1] https://gist.github.com/kemitchell/fdc179d60dc88f0c9b76e5d38...

I am sceptical because AI companies, and anthropic in particular, like to overplay their achievements and build undeserved hype. I also don't understand all the caveats (maybe offi…

Not really: * It's possible - very likely even - that even if somehow P=NP, the fastest algorithm for any NP problem turns out to be something like n^1000, which is technically P, …

>I started giving to EFF about 10 years ago. It's pretty much the first and only organization I have regularly given to. I'm in the same boat - not 10 years, but regularly, and a s…

Maybe, but this is not what they claim in their post. Their official reason is that the numbers are not working out. And even if that was the reason, that doesn't make sense. They'…

>My presence here has always been transactional when it benefited Germany. It will stay transactional when it benefits me. Because you're not a citizen. When you become a citizen y…

This is just a personal preference. I strongly prefer to see the markup as I write it. I can't stand disappearing characters.

>National security and "public safety" carve outs need to be eliminated. So long as those exist, we have no right to privacy. This is overly absolutist, or maybe idealistic view. N…

I'm not a lawyer, but are there any potential trademark issues? AFAIK in general you HAVE to change the name to something clearly different. I consider it morally OK, and it's prob…

A very surprising development indeed. The original author (who is also the leading maintainer of httpx, another huge package) started a crusade against male-dominated spaces such a…

The only "killer app" for crypto*currencies* is being a payment method. Not counting speculation. This is what they are used for right now, but the scale at which this happens does…

And how do you know this? I decided to check myself, looked for dark mode statistics on android, and: >Dark mode is used by 81.9% of 2,500 Android users on their phones, in apps, a…

Unless this whole setup is self-hosted (which I doubt), it's also uploaded to some data lake of a company which is in business of profiting from information. Intelligence agencies …

It may be cherry-picking, but I think some commenters misunderstand this (or maybe I do). The implication seems to be "12 hours before the resolution things are obvious anyway". Bu…

>While funny, it does nothing to prove your assertion. Unless that citation was generated by AI.

I think this notation is superior, because of syntax completion - get_name(user.id) can be syntax completed by IDE, (user.id)get_name can't. Just like "SELECT id, name FROM users" …

At a risk of going against the hivemind, I disagree. I self-taught programming quite early in my life, way before I had a good command of the English language. I've read books in m…

As you said yourself, this is very culture dependent. In my culture, elaborate politeness is NOT expected, and when I first started working with foreigners I had some funnily awkwa…

I think that's just a good old prisoner dilemma. You can't have a free-range golden goose, because if you grow it responsibly, others will abuse it first and you will get out of bu…
