What's the point in hashing the IP + salt then, just let each client generate a random nonce and use that as the key

You thought perhaps they commented a list of random unrelated HN submissions?

The comment they replied to literally said "Let's take a second to remember that copyright is the reason ~every child doesn't have access to ~every book ever written."

"There really are, though" - Me

What? No. An ad hominem is "I think your argument is wrong because your face is stupid". "This is bad software because it looks like it's made by amateurs" isn't attacking their ch…

A lot of people are getting really hung up on this. "Modern Rust" is just current Rust. Once Rust moves on, that will be modern Rust and what we once called modern will no longer b…

You said you don't see anything wrong with that definition and then provided a completely unrelated definition

No? Most businesses sell products or services, their primary source of revenue isn't bribes from a single company. That's pretty rare actually.

The text shows up white for me.

> If she forgot the square root of -1 was undefined, she’d never write a test for it. Uh...

It's only a limitation if your app is currently written in Javascript, which seems like a silly assumption. If your app is currently written in Rust, Electron has the equally big d…

...hence why they should give you that option if your paid account expires. It feels like people are being intentionally obtuse in this thread

When I tried it it worked pretty well, except the stream lagged really far behind. It was usually a couple minutes behind live for me

I don't understand the distinction. If the UK is allowing tests of driverless cars, it must be allowing them on the roads, and of course "in January" means "starts in January", wha…

He was spending $208/month for 20Mbps? What the hell is going on in Austin?

So is your argument actually that it's not necessary for people to be able to do this? Or is it that it's not nearly in-depth enough. If you're arguing the latter, I'm pretty sure …

Are you kidding? If I can buy the rocks at $4 per rock and I'm pretty sure I'll be able to sell them to somebody later at $6 per rock, absolutely I'll keep buying the rocks.

You really don't need to take some developers not knowing this quite so personally.

It's not like scientific notation precludes that. 1.234567E+06 = 1234567, but it's also at a glance obviously around 1 million

Tools like web browsers?

I think you're confusing the glitches a bit (or I am). Long-winded explanations of both, assuming I understand them correctly: The TAS version does a trick in the Deku Tree that re…

"just unfamiliar to people who aren't familiar with it". That was deep

It sounds like you're pretty confused about most people's reasons for caring about money. Making sure you have enough money to not need to worry about money is pretty much the enti…
