Are we really at the point where letting a corporation decide what we can/cannot do on our own hardware is a good thing now? Though the more I think about it the more I realize that we are indeed already at that point, and people reall

I'm a fan of "when you look at a thing, think who benefits from it". In this case Facebook.

Ah so the US is becoming China.

I just listen to Mozart sonatas. But very nice website. Love the transition effects.

I don't know if you are American or not. But it's funny to see US people saying other countries are "aggressive".

If you don't know about it, they don't need a warrant. Says NSA.

It's funny because China also thinks the US is doing this.

Looking at the comments, I just don't think you 1st world people know what censorship and propaganda look like...

I agree in principle. However in many situations "buy the best tools you can" is meaningless because one just cannot. Other comments have argued about this better than I'd ever could. On the other hand, have you consider that

I'd recommend starting from Terence Tao's Analysis I book. It really starts you from "zero" (literally), and constructing natural numbers, all the way to real numbers and integrals, and beyond.

Yes. That's what happens if you tell every child they are the best through their childhood. Now suddenly nobody want their bubble burst. The other side of the same coin is this: I TA'ed college physics (more like high school physi

Since I don't have a "webcam", I've been using my A7R2 as my meeting camera since covid. I use a 40mm manual lens, and adjust exp comp as needed. No overheating or other issues whatsoever. I'm surprised that so many

It can't be helped I think. The chain of trust must start somewhere. What if someone secretly have your password and enable 2FA? The addition of the 2nd factor of auth is a big deal and the process should be as secure as possible.

Personally I don't see the value in deleting accounts. I just don't use a service if I don't want to. I have not used Facebook for many many many years. It doesn't matter if my account is active or not. Why do I care? If

More interestingly, why do people care at all and discuss on HN?

What's the definition of "measured annual energy consumption"?

People seem to be pretty optimistic that the prediction is wrong. The prediction is most likely wrong. The society might collapse before 2040… Yes the man kind is very good at fixing things. That's including fixing things for the worse

Definitely C++ for me. Just to have templates and things like vector, array, variant, span, if nothing else. But these days I may prefer Rust over the two instead, if it’s not a numeric-heavy program.

Just my 2 cents from personal experience. > a) Functionality (does it work, is it safe?), b) Readability c) Conciseness d) Performance and e) Extendibility I use a lot of library features after C++11. Variant, span, and string_view are t
