In every universe where you survive (which, for sake of argument, are the only ones you care about) you find a factor on the first try. What’s more likely, randomly guessing a prime factor of a giant number, or miraculously survivin

How much of that money was based on capitalizing on an unregulated speculative investment market? Just because a lot of resources flow in the general direction of a technology doesn’t mean it wasn’t put to misguided use.

decrease volume of calories By, say, replacing 24 cans of “regular” soda (24 * ~100cal) with 24 cans of diet soda (24 * ~0cal). I calculate about 2400cal savings, and if CICO is legit, I think that would get them there.

Well, anyone can post a link to HN but only the project author can adjust the project’s README. Perhaps a better URL exists, but also perhaps not everything on HN has to be for everyone on HN. This is obviously news for people who know

I relate to the parent commenter (including their reply) so profoundly, it’s scary. The only difference is that I focus hard on finding the “right thing”; some missing piece of information, or a strategy, that will suddenly make everything

This post is frustrating because you aren’t really saying anything. My sample size is not huge, but from what I have observed, the hype isn't the same as it was in 2020/2021. Your sample size for what ? How do you measure

I meant that the logic implies that https://github.io is shady because it uses the ccTLD of British Indian Ocean Territory despite being unrelated. Of course you should cross reference the authenticity of any URL you are about

By that logic https://github.io is shady . Also, a bad actor could just as well register https://rustup.dev . Rather than judging a URL in a vacuum based on the TLD, you should instead cross reference the official do

Any tool can be dangerous in inexperienced or careless hands. The issues you described could just as likely be caused by logic errors or typos in any other language. You’re talking as if all bash scripts are hacked together carelessly and w

This doesn’t even include the rent, mortgage, or other payment to house you, or how much it costs to feed or clothe you and otherwise keep the piracy operation running.

Why not just debug on component creation? Or maybe on DOM subtree modification [0]? Or maybe modify the compiled JS to add log or trace statements? It’s all in your browser. You have a debugger at your fingertips. Why doesn’t Vue stop this

I’m not a big crypto fan, but, the purpose it serves is to keep your money in crypto (avoid fees/paperwork when transferring to fiat) but not risk the value due to the volatility of non-stable coins.

This makes sense. But how do I as a basic user make sure the signature is correct and definitely from Deno? Couldn’t a hacker sign it with their own signature?

That narrative might work for you, but the bio-hack narrative might work for others. Maybe the takeaway is to go into things with a positive attitude but also take a personal inventory and adapt if something that is supposed to work doesn
