Shouldn't it be spelled "de Kok" if that's a surname?
De Kok, De Cock, De Kock, De Cok, ... All the same. Surname spelling was highly volatile before the French took over.

#242Every time npm comes up I remind everybody that npm is shit, and nobody should use it. They have a bad track record of doing things right and bad attitude when told. But you keep using it. I refuse to use it at work and refuse to use it in personal life. It’s not real software and will cause you harm.
How do you install Node packages? Do you use Deno, or go to each one's Github and copy it manually? Or just implement the entire feature yourself?

Unrelated, but your homepage has very bad FPS using firefox on mac due to the animation. Once I manage to scroll it works quite well.
>mac Sorry, that's what you get for not using a normal computer.
The VC partners who call the shots here all use macs, give me a break. http://gg.gg/14h9m9

Ah yes, the age-old hacking tool: ssh-keygen.
Just learned "keygen" is the term the script-kiddies use to describe the act of generating fake activation keys. Never let it be said HN is not educational. But I feel the same way I felt when I noticed idiots using "crypto" to refer to cryptocurrency instead of cryptography.
Keygen has been around for for at least 30 years, whereas people misusing the term “crypto” has only been around for five years or so.

The Scunthorpe problem all over again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem
Filters like that are so trivial to bypass on a higher level too. Look at how many gamer or forum tags are “Lovecraft’s Cat”. And good luck catching those cases on a non-manual basis.
There’s an NFT collection called Milady which has subtle Holocaust references - ‘Treblinka’ written on shirts, the rarest traits are ‘SS’ tier etc.

Wrong. Usage varies, but "bint" more commonly is akin to "b*tch", and is used in a very coarse and derogatory manner. Love how you're trying to justify degrees of acceptable misogynist terms, though /s
You yourself imply there are different degrees to how acceptable the two terms are. Why else do you spell out one word but censor the other?
Yes, and your definition is by far the exception, not the rule. Maybe don't claim a definitive meaning when you're wrong to begin with.
One is much more likely to set off censors. Why do you feel the need to ask ridiculous questions? The word you use had already been said, censoring it would be meaningless -- whereas you ascertained the word I meant easily ;)

Um? Here in the UK it's uncommon to hear it these days but it carries no special weight. How come you're unwilling to spell the word bitch?

I’m not actually the first person you were talking to, so I didn’t give you any definition.
In fact, if you note, I’ve never actually used either word. I just refer to them obliquely.

My favorite is the online name censoring in video games. Dark Souls infamously just does a straight check of any string match within the name against a big list of no-no words. So in this fantasy game where everyone is running around as a knight, anyone who has "knight" in their game will appear as "k***ht" to other players. There's also a famous image I've seen online from another game where the guy's name was Nasse…
My favorite is Fark's word-changing filters and their unintended side effects. The no-no words are scanned across whitespace and reversed, and any hits get translated to the approved word. "Shit" becomes "Shiat", the N word becomes "nubian", etc Every so often someone will find their sentence that contains something like "I will have ham or egg in my sandwich" becomes "I will have ham onaibun my sandwich"
Reminds me of Yahoo's botched e-mail filter in the early 2000s, when in an attempt to prevent Javascript exploits they automatically replaced all occurrences of a few script-related keywords with alternative terms – even in the text body of a mail and without regards to word boundaries. "eval" got replaced by "review", leading to such words as "medireview" (medieval), "reviewuation" (evaluation), "rereviewuation" (reevaluation), "prreviewent" (prevalent) and suchlike.
If you search for some of those terms, you can still find traces of them across the internet and even in some published scientific papers.
