This newfangled "rockpaper" really complicates the rules of my favourite game.

Doesn't change the fact stated by GP tho. Fiat money, unlike crypto, have lots of non-criminal uses.

I was really hoping this would be doing something obscure with git, I was curious why someone would pay a subscription for something that's a built-in git feature. Unfortunately this was much more nefarious. I do see why some would pay

It's such a killer feature for the web, some of the more egregious websites try to remove it using JavaScript! Some corporations just really hate their users, and will never understand why

Seems cheap to me. Host anything and you're gonna need developers. Developers are expensive. A hundred thousand dollars is pretty much what you'd pay for a single developer in a year. 5 Devs is still a small team and that's h

I don't claim to know or understand, but I can venture a guess: as far as I can tell, America doesn't really have a good digital identity solution. In fact, given the frequent online discussions about whether it should be allowed

I've had great success swapping in a in-memory database via dependency injection and just running 100% of the application, end to end. in the ideal case my tests start by writing some randomised data using the external API, I then upda

I felt a need to expand on this. In Sweden, the various agencies are independent from the elected politicians to some degree. This means that while I personally do not trust the current government, I do still trust, for example, the tax age

First actual swede to reply here it seems! It's not a very simple question to answer, but I'll do my best. In general terms, most Swedes trust the government and all government agencies to do their job in a fair and just way, barr

"relatively" is meant to be doing a lot of work in my previous comment. Allow me to clarify: Obviously some amount was always there, but it used to be so much less than it is now, and, more importantly, the difference between HN a

It's just ill-informed ideological thinking. People see Google doing anything and automatically assume it's a bad thing and that it's only happening because Google are evil. HN has historically been relatively free of such do

P2P and federation tech is really cool stuff! I feel like ipfs is what most non-tech people thought the cloud was, perhaps even what it should've been. I'll admit I'm a bit out of the loop though. Say I wanted to publish a bl

You're getting downvoted for being right. Attempt being nuanced and people will call you a robot. Well if that's how we identify humans I for one prefer our new LLM overlords. A lot of people who say stuff like "boo AI!"

What's wrong with TCP, HTML and DNS? Why spend time to build an alternative solution? Why use the inferior solution someone built as a hobby project? Honestly there kinda is a new web, they call it web 3 and it's only crypto scams

Anecdotally, I think they're on to something! I've lived abroad enough to start thinking in a non-native language, I noticed that my thinking processes were different, and I would interpret even familiar situations differently. Be

Again? Seriously? We shut them down, what, last week? They really are going for the activism fatigue approach aren't they? I wonder if one could train an LLM to automatically protest all the new chat-control? This is getting ridiculous

Your devils advocate paragraph seems to contradict itself. Unless you mean to say spaceX somehow benefited from the patents blue origin filed previously. I don't see how that would be the case though.

I already regret reading this article. Don't get me wrong, it's well written, and I agree with most of it. But every time I read an article like this I get stuck in analysis paralysis for any code I need to write afterwards and th

The reason it's not allowed in European roads is that the cold rolled steel is too hard, and the edges are too sharp. At 55mph perhaps this doesn't matter, but most vehicle-pedestrian collisions occur at far lower speeds than that

My team lead once approved me upstreaming some changes to a open source project, so long as I did it using my private account. Basically I got to do the work on company time&dime, but I couldn't give my employer credit, due to this

4 doesn't really work for serious big load applications either: nobody will be able to understand the codebase. You want 3. During my days at mojang we did some variation of 3. We had ~250k requests/second, and handled it just fin

I've found the ubiquiti devices to be somewhat overly complex and generally overkill for all home-networks I've ever used them for. All the graphs and stuff tickles a nerdy nerve somewhere in me, but honestly I can get equally sta

Could in theory be because someone else grabbed the account 16 years ago tho, unless I'm missing something?

This is why we invented the fine print. Not putting this information in the fine print is fraudulent behaviour

Ah man, these are some awesome memories! Hot damn I liked these when I was a kid! I was first introduced to them on a LAN party. We would pass these kinds of things to eachother between CS 1.5 matches (VLC can play any file format!) I remem
