    Disagree with your disagree. I understand there’s a recession and security people have to justify their salaries. The most secure system imaginable is for your users to shut their …

    What do you mean by “fundamental problems.” I’m using chrome right now, it works great, and there’s no better browser. I assure you they’re not embarrassed they didn’t write it in …

    I’m not sure what you’d gain is worth the cost. What’s the cost in dollars and cents of SQLite cves over the past 20 years, and what would the cost be of rewriting that entire code…

    We sure are all great on here aren’t we? Plaudits to everyone involved.

    Irrelevant. You can get a full amino acid profile by combining plant based sources. It is basic high school biology that there’s less energy available the higher up on the food pyr…

    Beyond is a world ahead of both of those. The actual problem is that they’re not as good as the impossible that Burger King has seen success with. Fake meat has gotten much better …

    Right. Op is saying an unsafe program that’s paying the bills and we can fix later is better than being a Rust evangelist on hn because your startup never got off the ground. Somew…

    Why was the fact that it's not a production file system even brought up? Was it advertised as a production file system? Does the paper say that it is one? What was the rhetorical p…

    What about all the free money you're leaving off the table in miles and cash back? I've had a credit card for about 3 years, and while it isn't much, I've never paid a dime in inte…

    We have that to. We even have post Mortem debugging. Did you know you can load a core dump into gdb? To me it seems like a new generation of developers is reinventing the wheel bec…
