> Do people actually believe this nonsense? Yes. I have moved past thinking we need to protect people from this kind of thing. If they believe it, let them buy it. The only harm their ignorance is doing is to themselves. They might even

I remember watching that when my parents got it on rental from the local store. None of us had any idea wtf was going on the whole way through. Must watch it again to see if it's better now that I've watched clever cinema (gentle

Thanks for this explanation. So if I understand correctly, `someOp` has thrown an error but this doesn't affect `someOtherOp`? So `someOtherOp` will end up being called twice?

Wait, you're saying Amazon SDEs don't have a contract?

Anyone working over their contracted hours needs to realise they're being exploited by their employer. Sometimes this is justified: we pay more than the going rate because we expect you to step up occasionally. Maybe it's kind o

Yes, the only time I come across Awk now is as part of some shell pipeline. It just seems to have been crowded out of lots of places. I still think it’s cool though.

Do you have any more information on that technique and how you approached it? Sounds interesting.

On the cost-saving point, I always understood that the limited 4kb texture memory led to lots of games having really muddy, blurry textures. How much more would have 8kb or 16kb cost? It seems a small cost saving that had a pretty large, ne

I think people are just pointing out there’s a distinction between: 1) hosting someone with no expectations, hitting it off and consensually getting together 2) hosting someone with the uncommunicated expectation they will sleep with you an

As someone who came into development after the Coffeescript wave I’m interested to know: how much did it feel like the future? Was it always an early adopter, “look how forward we are” kind of thing, or was it just popular with Rubyists? I’

"The Handmaid's Tale" has an interesting epilogue that touches on this. It's in the style of a later academic lamenting how the narrator didn't say anything about the political power structures of Gilead when, of co

Last time I complained about this on HN I just got told that I should have bought a higher specced version. Guess my £1800 wasn’t enough for more than two ports on a “Pro” device, thanks fanboys!

I have the same and it’s making me want to move to a Linux laptop. With the bluetooth chip, do you get an error when it crashes? Airdrop basically never works on mine and I was wondering if it might be a related problem.

In what way is it toxic? Just out of interest. Personally I found the Ubud-style “wellness” tourist to be the worst.

Any normal 18 year old should be able to look after feeding themselves. Yes, they might eat crap for a while but that is part of the process.

Does this have anything to do with 21 being a significant age? I understood that from 18 in the U.S. you were legally an adult but there seemed to be a bit of a blurry period up to 21. That seems less of a thing in the UK.

I've never understood why students would even want the college to be so involved in their student life. Allocate some buildings to the student body, get them to organise themselves and throw a bit of a cash at them. I think that's

Judging by the entitlements, it seems that a script can save an executable file. Would it be possible to ensure that any file written by a script remains quarantined?

UK sports (or sports TV at least) is very tightly linked to gambling. Many football teams are sponsored by gambling companies. About 15 years ago there was a huge debate about whether we should allow “American-style” supercasinos but we jus

I would be interested to know what teen film people consider most representative of their experience. I love “Dazed and Confused” because it seems like the archetypical US high school experience. I was shocked that the director intended it

create-react-app was broken a couple of weeks ago when I tried to use the Typescript template. Some dependency in Jest had been changed to require a version of Typescript that had only been out for a few weeks, breaking everything (includin

I’ve had to turn off the iOS auto correct because it became so poor. It’s literally easier to type them out and correct the many mistakes than fight the auto correct.

The day rate being higher accounts for the uncertainty. There is also nothing preventing a director paying themselves a monthly salary (e.g £2k) to flatten out the highs and lows. I very much doubt the directors of larger businesses are pay
