I'm sure the work was solid, yet not his. To weave him into this story with that stupid tagline "the most dangerous man on the Internet" with the insinuation he was some kind of hacker... is garbage journalism.

As soon as the author began referencing Applebaum seriously, the article lost most of its credibility.

I'm aware of no evidence that sugar, as such, causes cancer directly. However excessive use (which means 'normal' consumption in our society) definitely damages your immune system and other systems. This cannot be helpful whe

I was hesitant to write this, as I did. It's not a call for passive acceptance. There are a lot of moments when we patients need to prod and push our doctors and nurses. The machine tends to be slow and can miss important things. The p

I was lucky enough to get one via contacts. I'd expect though that you can find designers online and see their portfolios before making a serious commitment.

I use a similar flow for my own books, except Perl scripts instead of Pandoc. Starting with a markdown-style text format is so nice. One thing with LibreOffice is that you can generate documents, they are just XML zipped up. So my tools pro

HN is overall polite and mature, especially compared to Reddit. Yet it can't escape its background culture. Some truths will always be taboo.

Well, that was fun for aboit half an hour, then my brain was all "so why are we parsing fixed space fonts again? Did I miss some memo?" Would be a lot nicer with normal presentation. The menu structure works pretty well on a mobil

Velcro strips that you cut to size are cheap and surprisingly useful as a way of anchoring your phone on e. g. your dashboard.

You're simply shifting the goal posts to try to keep others from scoring. There is no "idea". There are hundreds of thousands of small incremental steps.

Yes, this seems to be the case. The whole concept of social judgment is alien to a mind that sees society as a collection of meals.

Speaking as the author, there were certainly moments when I questioned my own state. That is part of the path, it seems. And indeed, most of us do harm at some point, yet are absolutely not psychopaths.

This is absolutely true, and why it can only aspire to science at this stage. Many factors were involved, such as network effects.

The specific case was the fork of ZeroMQ in 2011 to create Crossroads.io, in which the two dominant contributors took the project and created a head-on competitor. They used their own preferred process. The ZeroMQ project switched to a comm

Yes, GSL is the successor. It's a living project on github. It is relatively easy to generate state machines in GSL, e.g. https://github.com/CodeJockey/glar150/blob/master/src/fsm_c.... . This

As a parent who's been the primary caregiver for my young kids for years, it pains me to die when they aren't able to look after themselves yet. It is my one regret, really. So another 20 years would be cool from that perspective.

Good point. Well, I'm going to get three whole weeks without chemo soon, so I'll know whether it's that or just my lungs slowly filling up with junk.

My pleasure. Libero and SFL were my first open source projects and I'm glad they were useful.

I wish you strength and courage. Spend time with your mom and tell her how much you love her, every chance you get. My own cancer is of the bile duct, spread to my lungs after five years' silence. I've accepted as fact that it&#x2

It would be really cool to have an I2P transport in ZeroMQ, and could be quite simple as I2P's messaging maps directly to the datagram model ZeroMQ uses. Or vice-versa.

Largest empire in the world in 1200? That seems... implausible.

Surprised no-one has pointed to the real culprit here: the patent system, which allows individual companies to own knowledge like this and sell it at any rate it desires... private taxation by and for the rich, on the rest of society.
