Those won't stop the problem at the root, right? The inflow/manufacture of narcotics won't be affected at all. You'll still have a constant new influx of junkies, and it you'll essentially by funding this widescale

They're "just the same" in the sense that they would surely both use similar tools in the information war. Just like they're "just the same" in having submarines, fighter jets, etc etc. The content of the infor

I've never understood this conspiracy theory. If Russia does have bot farms, and they're effective, surely the US has much, much larger bot farms - their budgment for this sort of thing completely dwarfs Russia. Or is the US just

how much of a PITA is it to add RSS to your own site?

I main duckduckgo, but I use Yandex more than Google these days. Incredibly useful for stuff power people in the US want to censor (and I suppose, Google is useful to russians for the exact same reason).

Which big US social media company operates without some form of involvement with the ADL? This isn't a conspiracy, the ADL openly admits and is proud of their involvement in censorship. Here they are bragging about their role in youtub

Would love to see this in the wild! It's long overdue. I have to ask though - what does "reached proposed standard" mean, for those us who one day actually use this. Will this be a part of eg browsers next decade, this year,

I agree with this. We need some nuance. We cannot just look at chinas human rights record and decide that justifies slow western bureaucracy when it comes to infrastructure. We can't hold them up as a bogeyman to justify our own ineffi

It can also just force millions of people to move away, ie the Three Gorges Dam.

Renewable electricity hydro-electric dams don't really work like that. You can't "scale out", because you're limited by waterflow, reservoir area etc. There's a natural ceiling.

Well, here's the post that made Paul Graham block me on X: https://x.com/LewisCTech/status/1778912158404997494 Also briefly made me popular on Nigerian Twitter, which was fun :)

What are some good, modern, neo-retro examples of these fast keyboard driven UIs people keep talking about? I mean apart from classic roguelikes and vim. What can I download and use right now on linux?

You know what would make farming even cheaper? Child labour. So would indentured servitude. Or why not consider slavery? After all we've established that we're fine with breaking the law so that certain industries have lower opera

is "Migrant" a euphemism here for "illegal migrant"? If your business needs illegal labour, then it's not a viable business, and it should die. If your pay is so low that no one wants to do your work, why should you

I'm some what in agreement with this. OP sounds like he has legacy codebase stockholm syndrome. Imagine being appointed mayor of a slum and deciding to build more slums because you wanted to fit in.

This is the way. You absolutely can turn shit codebases into something nicer and faster, and this is best done by people who know the system, and maybe even more important, knows the operational context the system exists in. I once came int

Debates about the technical merits aside...the alternative to not allowing people to build their own nice little corner of a legacy codebase is not a bunch of devs building a consistent codebase. It's devs not wanting to touch the code

LOL hey Artix. That made me laugh from Loris too. I can't believe it became a big deal, it was a funny comment. And I believe it was one single lone frustrated rustacean... a frustacean, perhaps? ... who was making the unhinged comment

I feel like the ocaml solution would fit zigs usecase well. In ocaml you can redefine operators... but only in the context of another module. So if I re-define + in some module Vec3, I can do: Vec3.(a + b + c + d) Or even: let op

I have to admit that after all these years the term "integration tests" is near meaningless me. But proberty based testing is absolutely real. If you can think of one example based test you can probably think of a way to generalis
