I don’t speak hebrew but someone online said that this is an unnecessarily literal translation of "double colon" and it’s not what most developers would call it. Take that with a g…

I’m sure people will hate on this because it’s Adobe but their Premier Rush is great for extremely simple editing purposes. It does constantly feel like you’re being scammed though…

Yeah default users are fine, but the basic architecture of Linux (and, to my knowledge, all operating systems) means that there’s no meaningful way to create a user without creatin…

I think you have a misunderstanding of what the change is and what the previous situation was.

Good, but frankly it’s pretty embarrassing for them that it took the threat of a multi-million pound fine before they made this change.

Right now it would be pretty noisy even on slow-moving games, but it’s a good start. I’ve never done graphics work professionally so take this with a grain of salt, but I’d wager t…

The sony cameras support a fair amount of external control, I’ve never written code for it directly but third-party apps have no issue other than the requirement that you connect t…

I had a sticker on my work laptop at my old company with the company logo edited to say "ecstasy" and no-one ever commented on it

Ah yes, the best way to bury a moral scandal of the kind that usually gets forgotten in a week is to undermine the trust of almost every single user worldwide. This is a very good …

It’s not just "social media junkies", a very pretentious phrase to use considering you’re writing it in a comment on a social network. Hundreds of thousands of apps use Facebook AP…

This outage also affected whatsapp, one of the most widely-used communication technologies in the world. It also almost caused me to be locked out of my apartment, were it not for …

Can we please stop posting Foone to HN? They’ve stated multiple times that they don’t want to be posted here and every time they end up posted they complain and ask for it to be ta…

This is the fundamental observation that the Zig language is built on, and it proves to be an extremely powerful way of understanding your system when taken to its logical extreme.…

Because it’s an effect system, it’s not returning monads. It’s a different kind of type system with different restrictions and benefits. You could make every function implicitly pu…

I thought the nominal point of crypto was to get out from under the oppressive bootheel of the banks

Unless someone with more experience can chime in and add some more info, I’ll say that my understanding is that HDDs are better for archival since they last longer when not in use.…

The entire point is that they’re not being paid handsomely, they’re being taken advantage of. Did you even read past the headline?

The amount of power that Nim has is absolutely obscene. I don't really have a good use-case for it right now, but it's a language that I know I'd enjoy if I got into it.

Rental properties are inherently rationed by the fact that there is no reason to rent more than one flat in the same city.

I completely agree, and it’s also a problem that other immensely powerful languages like Ruby and C++ have but Lisp has it far worse since A) the more arcane abstraction features a…

I lost my password, access to my email address and all information that could have been used to identify me like my paypal account. This was somewhere around 2017. It took 2 emails…

This would be a fantastic way to teach programming to kids, in the same way that redstone or (for people of my age) wiremod makes programming tangible and feel more real. I’d love …

If you’re going to ironically post foone's tweets about not wanting their tweets to be posted, the least you can do is get their pronouns right

How much control do you have over rendering without having to discard Bevy's renderer and asset server entirely? A big problem I had with Amethyst (and, honestly, other big engines…
