It’s still a valid point IMHO - why not just use the public key directly? It seems like the account URI just adds problems instead of resolving any.

For the love of god, switch to a DNS provider with an API. Whatever legacy behemoth you’re working with doesn’t justify a gap this wide.

Oh no! We should immediately commence work on a new UUID version that addresses this use case.

This is the one thing users have asked for for years now. Apparently even Apple eventually listens.

Well--given a full copy of the SQLite test suite, I'm pretty sure it'd get there eventually. I agree that most of these show-off projects are just prop pieces, but that's kind of the point: Demonstrate it's technically p

I'm pretty sure that one made it through the review for some reason, you don't typically see these apps in the App Store.

No need to guess, the SO survey is probably still representative of the state of development environments: https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2025/technology#1-dev-id-es Note that respondents may use multiple tools, but a

The analogy mostly makes a point for snobbishness, but otherwise doesn’t really work. Most people would rather eat meals prepped by a Michelin star cook, but they can only afford microwave meals - whereas EMacs/Vim and VSCode are equal

Most non-banana republics across the world define the Minimum standard of living as having all of the things you listed, meaning welfare/social safety nets provide for that. As they should. We’re not animals.

Another assumption based on a human way of reasoning. We don't even begin understand how an Octopus perceives the world; neither do we know if they are on the same level of intelligence, because we have no methodology for comparing dif

WAY too much. I just need a tiny service that translates common S3 ops into filesystem ops and back.

Prices start around 800k last time I heard, I don't know if that fits within what you consider a premium or not :-)

> Good illustration that those guardrails are ineffective and trivial to bypass. Is that genuinely surprising to anyone? The same applies to humans, really—if they don't see the full picture, and their individual contribution seems

I see your point, but don’t think it is correct: Opposing groups will absolutely debate whether and which events happened, and will attest to a different timeline. Moreover, I don’t believe you can cleanly tell facts from interpretation. So
709.
by 9dev 8mo ago
That’s exactly my point: You present yet another alternative view as facts, which would get debated by the former two groups. There is no authority to establish which of the three views is the canonical truth, regardless of how much you t

So, facts, huh. Was Donald Trump leading a violent group of traitors and looters to desecrate the capitol, or did he and thousands of others peacefully protest against the Democrats stealing the election? Were the events in Palestine of 194

I don’t understand this sentiment. Journalists are humans too, with their own opinions that invariably shape their work. That doesn’t invalidate all their work though, and it’s vital for a democracy to have a spectrum of opinions floating a

So, does that mean, and bear with me here, that… air is blue?

Which is exactly why we need a strong federation, and broad participation in democratic process across the bank. Many people can't even be bothered to vote, much less participate in their local, municipal governments. That must change.

It's not oligarchy, it's feudalism. I wholeheartedly recommend you buying a new keyboard, by the way.

If your answer to that problem is less women should attain higher education and take care of raising children instead, we just fundamentally disagree. Women have an equal right to education and working as men do. The charts you refer to sho

What now, human biology dictates men lead and women bear children? I'm upset some people carry that pathetic incel narrative over to HN.

I absolutely share your feelings. And I realise I’m way less hesitant to pick up the dredge tasks; migrating to new major versions of dependencies, adding missing edge case tests, adding CRUD endpoints, nasty refactorings, all these things

That's sure true in theory, but given the prevalence of status symbols, many people thrive on comparing themselves to others. I'd argue society was better off when the only people you could reasonably compare yourself to were the
