I like Hacker News for the lack of political content. I feel overwhelmed by the amount politics is bleeding into all aspects of my life as of late. I would like to think that the same type of decision would have been made had your username

As a native English speaker, I personally never really thought about those implications you just described. I would use that phrase for any situation with multiple options, not just an unusual one. Maybe I’m using it wrong?

Could the solution just be to audit the permissions your dependencies require? Sure, it gets murkier with transitive deps like your http.js and number-is-even.js example, but I would argue that this scenario isn’t as dangerous as it seems b

I don’t think their stance is extreme as you make it seem. Insert their username into the same list you just provided: im3w1l, HN, your keyboard driver, CPU, firmware, motherboard, ISP, Google One of these things is not like the others.

Maybe I’m just a dummy but... that sounds a lot more complex than systems I am familiar with

Seems like that would be a good personal indicator to not invest in Tesla then? A lot of people invest in Tesla in part because it is run by a “batshit crazy” person, though I’m sure those investors might phrase it differently.

You made me realize that I’ve had live photos disabled for a long time. Sad that I missed out on so many “magic” moments but I’m glad it’s on now!

If I’m worried about catching or spreading the virus, wouldn’t the kiosks be worse? Dozens of people touching the same surface with their bare hands seems more dangerous to me than telling my order to someone over a short distance, especial

There have been many occasions in my life where I've pirated some Adobe product. I was about to do so again a few months ago and was worried about downloading malware until I had the realization: "Wait, I have a job now. I can jus

I’m not sure what to say except that this post really moved me. We’re living in a strange moment where everything is going to crap for a significant portion of the world. At the same time, we’re seeing an outpouring of kindness and willingn

I'll occasionally spring for a disposable vape during stressful times, and now the lack of flavored cartridges has me considering a pack of cigarettes.

It seems like Adam Savage legitimately enjoys this type of project and I think getting to make a neat video about it might be an auxiliary benefit for him. Either way, I enjoyed the video. What would you prefer he do with the Spot?
