I personally think spam is speech, and it should be protected speech. I'm not a fan of spam being censored on social media. People should be able to say as much as they want on the internet

Yeah, polymorphism is in no way simple in lots of languages/frameworks. It's actually quite complex in many common languages/frameworks. This is absolutely contradictory in my opinion, but I welcome disagreement :)

The more that education becomes monetarily inaccessible to the masses, the more the masses will reject the educated. And then god help us.

Well, certainly that would be a logical argument, but it isn't a sound argument and I can give a few examples: a long time ago, people gave out bitcoin for free to anyone that wanted it. I personally received 0.05 BTC back around 2010

You do not need objective truths to use deductive logic. That statement shows that you fundamentally misunderstand deductive logic. You simply need premises (i.e. assumptions) to make use of deductive logic in a standard logical system. Tho

Certainly that's incorrect, actual logic is used throughout virtually all sciences to deduce conclusions using methods of proof. The reason we're able to deduce many core truths of reality is by relying on both observation and log

"Give me 1btc and I'll send you 3btc back" is not logically refutable in the strictest sense of "logic". It's obvious, socially/culturally, that this is a scam; why would anyone give people money after the

The proof of the burden as to why this website should force all communication to be public is on you. HTTPS exists and configuring it is simple in this era, and the choice to not use it for a university's public website is either lazin

Sure I'd be glad to elaborate. Why should we make any personal details about our lives public information if it doesn't need to be? Do you go around announcing all the things that you do in your life that are seemingly harmless? S

Is there any reason to be so sarcastic here, other your desire to engage in bad faith here? There are good reasons to make the paths that people request on public websites private to the client & server, even when that content is seemin

by beebmam 5y ago
There's more to HTTPS than just data integrity promises. One of the most popular topics on Hacker News is privacy, so I'd imagine people here would understand why virtually all public websites should be HTTPS only.

It's quite ironic that the "Foundations of Computer Science" are hosted on an HTTP server without TLS. I was lucky enough to have gone to a university system (UC) which gave me an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of comp

Isn't this the person that falsely accused someone of rape and then (much later) admitted having lied about it? Why should this person not be in prison? edit: This is indeed the person I was thinking of. To the people downvoting me: wh

If you don't understand the hate, listen to people more carefully. But I think you actually mean: "I understand why other people hate leetcide, and I think their emotions are invalid". At least own your argument

This reads like a cult member wrote it. It's hard to take you seriously when you (absurdly) state that some diet makes claims.

My experience is the opposite of yours. Teams I've worked with get massive freedom to implement their services with any (reasonable) language + framework: Rust, Python, Java, Go, C++, C#, and so on. Seems like an organizational decisio

I still use a Pixel 2 as my phone and I had no idea it was EoL. I've been using this thing for more a year after it is apparently not getting security updates. That's extremely fucked up that this isn't communicated to users.

I agree, but it's also straight up an inaccurate statement. No one knows for sure if natural immunity from Omicron will protect from future variants. Given that having Delta does not make you immune to Omicron, I think it's straig

It's pretty absurd to both sides something like this. Do you have evidence that the US government is doing this on computers it sells overseas, or is this just magical speculation?

#2 and #3 are very difficult in Java when working with frameworks like Spring. Spring obscures much of its internal mechanisms, and it takes a long time to build the knowledge needed to understand all of the nuances in it (and to even debug

The term "evil" came from some of the oldest written languages and was originally used in a religious/supernatural context, and almost always is used in a religious/supernatural context today. If you intend on using it w

Do you genuinely believe in the existence of an "evil"? Like as in, Satan, bad spirits, other supernatural phenomena?

Anytime someone uses "big" as an adjective like a pejorative, the argument should be obviously weak to anyone with a critical mind. Why should the size of a company have any relevance to its unethical or abusive actions? If a comp

I'd recommend talking to a therapist. If you're behaving in a way that you find self-destructive, a therapist can help. Good luck and I wish you the best in your efforts
