Reminds me of how I'll spend an afternoon avoiding a copy in Rust. It's kinda fun, but hard to remain deluded that you're doing it for serious technical purposes.

Reminds me of the ethics class they started at the University of Texas in the business school because one kid lied on his resume and "made a fool of the university" with his ridiculous bullshitting during the senior-year interview

It's not just an environmental issue. It's an ethical issue. Maybe some companies out there also banned slave ownership across the board. Probably seemed unfair, too. Did they not realize how useful slaves are? Now, this seems lik

I'm not a coding robot that needs to be min/maxed for my productivity output all day at work. I'm certainly not even programming all day at work. So I would not want to work where you're in charge where everything I may

You clearly have never worked in the food industry. I have, and I trust most of my neighbors to prepare a chicken cutlet with more care than any revolving-door restaurant I ever worked in. Consider just restaurants of a rank <= Outback S

They're so specific that it's obvious that they're describing their self. The HN trope where someone mistakes their own specific tastes for self-evident commentary on how the world works. e.g. As if you need social anxiety to

Well, it's like saying static typing doesn't help you because both statically- and dynamically-typed systems need to do arithmetic. It doesn't really make sense, and nobody is saying static-typing is helpful because it frees

I'd say the elvis operator would make things worse, especially wrt the parent post. The problem isn't that `user && user.username` style validation is verbose, but that it's very error-prone. Making it less verbose ju

Then what's a better word for it? They aren't celebrities. They aren't just people with a following or a popular channel. They are specifically people with a following that are successful at converting sales. Unless you have

If you had enough experience in tech such that you were actually building things, then this question would have answered itself on the basis that you can build things, which extrapolates to things that you can get paid to build. But since y

On the other hand, the name creates a pretty clear picture of the service to its audience. If you start looking at demographics outside the audience to qualify the name, then you'll probably end up with an abstract-but-brandable name t

I don't understand. What about when you're just consuming a list of things like an image gallery or HN/Reddit frontpage? Your complaint doesn't seem to make sense in this common context. In fact, I can't think of ma

I don't get it. It also doesn't work if you're on a paginated page that doesn't contain those things.

Eh, special-casing specific syntax over regular objects would be a nightmare.

With the ubiquity of smartphone keyboards (I'm guessing), I've noticed a major trend toward zero punctuation, especially commas. You have to learn to just add them yourself, kind of like how a Javascript interpreter automatically

It's especially damning when the article points out that some apps were removed after the article-writer contacted Apple. Indicates that the process is clearly there at Apple, they just turn a blind eye. But wow, I expected a lot more

This is such a common comment on HN that it makes me believe that a small portion of the population doesn't realize that "hey, that word can mean multiple things" is a thought everyone has all the time without considering it

Reminds me of the massive block that appears when you change the volume on OSX. Perfect position to cover subtitles of the full-screen movie you're watching. On more than one occasion, I've had to rewind the video to catch a criti

White paper was a thing ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_paper ) before people recently started using it to mean "any possibly technical information saved in a two-column PDF". Let's not suggest that

Is "white paper" what the kids these days use to refer to some basic technical chit chat? Thanks, cryptocurrencies/ICOs.

Another bizarre Spotify #wontfix is how you have (or at least had, this was two years ago) no recourse against someone with access to your account. e.g. Changing your password doesn't invalidate other sessions. My friend had her passwo

The issue is that I can already scroll to the top to see the navbar, and interacting with it is a small fraction of what I do on a website. In fact, when clicking into media (like a news article or blog post), I'm not even going to int

Though this analysis often leaves out risk. Classic example being to take on $100k of debt to start a business and then paying workers $20/hour. Only one person is on the hook for $100k and they are rewarded accordingly if it pays off.

Once again, monads are a form of "disciplined mutation." They didn't repeat what you wrote, they contradicted your entire premise. You didn't respond to anything they said and you doubled down with your nonsense about

Yes, they essentially run ads asking for donations. Sometimes entire above-the-fold ads. They can get pretty hardcore like those personal appeals from Jimmy Wales. Pretty much what it takes to get people to donate money to one of the most i

When you can trivially crawl the input space like ipv4 addresses, you'd have to expire a fresh per-day salt as well. But to my eyes, expiring salts isn't much different than deleting ip addresses after one day. Just more machinery
