Information is not correlated with word count. It would result in messages with low signal to noise ratio that you would have to skim through.

Not really? Python's dynamic typing and lack of variable declarations clearly shows it was designed for developer velocity, not catching bugs. Seems like your argument is Python catches some bugs when converting to bytecode, so it ca

> the borrow checker rejects valid programs Yup, this is the tradeoff you have to make to catch the wide variety of bugs. For personal use, probably not worthwhile, but it definitely pays off for the safety it provides in production cont

This is such a big pain, it's probably the one reason pushing me to move back to Europe. Europe has a much gentler climate because of the Mediterranean sea and the Sirocco.

(Not a Microsoft employee) Even if you do have the feedback, is it worth fixing issues if your boss doesn't prioritize them, and you won't get promoted for it?

Stating the obvious here, but eliminating school buses and thus making people have to drive their kids to school would INCREASE carbon emissions. So the statement is both factually incorrect and a shameless attempt at misdirection.

There's a trick to hide them. You know that gesture you do when watching a video vertically to minimize the video to get back to the video feed? While you're doing the gesture, the end cards are hidden. Just hold the gesture, and

Some videos have end cards which are super annoying and impossible to disable. Youtube Stories are stuffed in your face whether you like it or not because Youtube is competing with TikTok. Youtube doesn't think you understand numbers,

Realistically, there is not much impact us little humans can have. The options are to donate to humanitarian organizations working there, vote for a government that's going to intervene, or volunteer as a soldier. I'm not eligible

Don't quite understand this. Bolstering yourself would seem awakward for the other person, while criticizing yourself would just be a bad look in front of the person who decides promotions.

A very hacky solution that I've found to combat TikTok's infinite feed is to scroll up instead. I skip to the 20-th video in the feed, watch each video, and then exit once I'm done with the 20. Hitting the top gives you an of

It's not just about government corruption. Time zones, labor laws, less entrepreneurial mindsets are examples of reasons why there's brain drain from Sweden, Germany, UK to US.

So you're saying the file URL for publically downloadable files contains the decryption key?

I never really understood how MEGA is any better. Sure, personal files are encrypted, and thus it's hard to detect pirated files that I upload for myself. But a lot of piracy happens with publicly downloadable files, which MEGA can def

Hacker News does have ads however. They have job postings for YCombinator-backed startups. For me result "16." is an ad. I don't personally mind them -- they're job postings which are a win-win for everyone.

The different forms of the word are really just a constant factor. Moreover, not all endings have the same number of letters, so it's easy to distinguish between e.g. eat vs eaten vs ate.

In trading, there are penalties for insider trading. In sports betting, teams get disqualified for match fixing. So there is protection against adverse selection. What about here? If the bet is "Will Apple air an ad at the Super Bowl,&
