I love how we’re wringing our hands about the technological side of this fight. If every time we found someone with CSAM on their hard drive, we swung them from a tree—folks would think twice before engaging in the production and distributi

Genuinely curious, why must privacy extend to online? Last week’s events have me pondering the real value of online anonymity in a civil society. I understand encryption and privacy aren’t 1:1, but if one goes, so goes the other. At any rat

The last week has taken me from “I believe in the freedom of online anonymity” to “Online anonymity possess a weight that a moral, civil society cannot bear.” I do not believe humans are capable of responsibly wielding the power to anonymou

Rails and Laravel are still big players in the space that have only gotten better with time.

As someone who went from MEAN -> Java (Spring) -> MERN - > Rails I cannot comprehend how many times the JS community has reinvented the wheel. These days I do my best to stay in Rails land, far away from Next.js. It just looks like

Strength training is probably the number one predictor of long-term quality of life. I wish I could recall where I read it so I could offer more than anecdote, but essentially the ability to carry weight is a predictor of your ability to ba

Lol. Have you ever used their “IDE”? My guess is you haven’t based on the tone of your remark. Apple has been developer-hostile for years, and OP was just synthesizing their thoughts around this and TBH I found the conclusion to be fairly n

I was nodding along right until the rule… it allows for “entertainment” as part of your informational consumption. That’s a bit strange to me as I’d classify all of my “just in case” reading as entertainment.

> The biggest problem with this is how we would define “porn”. I wholeheartedly agree. And that’s a problem we should lean into and solve. Its difficulty doesn’t make it less worth of solving. > The horrors and dangers of porn are squ

I think you’re vastly underestimating the destructive nature of porn. I’m no longer watching porn, by the grace of God.

by blitz_skull 3y ago
You know, I'm not really sure that requiring IDs for access to porn / social media is a terrible idea. Sure it's been anonymous and free since the advent of the internet, but perhaps it's time to change that. After all,

You're not the only one! I also believe that this is a Big Deal™ that we need to take seriously as a nation. I have yet to see any HN commentator offer a robust pro-social media argument that carries any weight in my opinion. The most

I can’t speak to Rust, but these past 6 months I’ve had a very interesting adventure diving into Ruby on Rails. My background is full stack JS dev with Typescript. So I like my shit explicit written out, no magic. I like my shit strongly-ty

Dad, professional (and freelance) developer, training jiu jitsu 3-4 times per week, and strength training. (Trying to get hella yolked). It’s takes processes, systemization and at the end of the day: discipline. Someone else said it here, b

Am I to understand then that a member of the UN could decide that intervene? Or would they need to be “allowed” to intervene on behalf of the ICJ?

by blitz_skull 3y ago
What's the ICJ's actual ability to enforce this? "Orders" sounds like they have some sort of weight to throw around if Israel doesn't comply, but I'm not familiar with the ICJ or what possible consequences coul

If you think commit messages are useless, you're almost certainly using them wrong. The examples provided are fairly contrived. Yeah, so your local commits may not have a _ton_ of meaning, but you should write a meaningful PR descripti

Perhaps I did click on the link and still find this to be a profoundly terrible business move?

Uh… what? Did I miss something important? That sounds like a profoundly terrible move.

Hellen Keller was deaf. How could she _develop_ the ability to listen to a spoke language?

Damn I wish any PM I had ever worked with had this attitude. Honestly I don’t recognize any of this ownership in the last few companies I’ve worked with. PMs are just people that don’t talk with customers, review a product backlog, and cove

I find this incredibly hard to believe with all of the research on neuroplasticity. Not to mention there’s a VERY famous case that proves this is not a hard and fast rule: Helen Keller.

As someone who is quite new to Ubuntu, and recently just ran an install. I've seen this "snap" word thrown around and for better or worse I consider the opinion of random HN users to be better than the average opinion elsewhe

TL;DR Solar chimneys aren’t nearly as promising as modern solar panels as far as energy generation goes. They require tons of money and space in order to operate efficiently.

The idea that somehow one of the worst game developers in the world is going to usher this new age in is extremely laughable. Sounds like Ubisoft needs to recognize what a joke their studio is.

Yeah that’s my biggest issue here. Whatever FAANG wants to decide is the “truth du jour” is set as an unassailable position. To even discuss (and I’m sure there’s both reasonable and unreasonable views here) in a manner that violates the Sa

Considering half of the links in this article are linked to things like Yahoo News, I'll take it with a healthy dose of skepticism. Beyond that, sure things are bad but I'll point out that every single generation I've ever ta

I wonder how many people like this (myself included) would fall under the “Type 8” in the enneagram system. (I view it as a personality system, not a spiritual system) I find that my fear of losing control makes it very easy to do cold-turk

One of those online folks here. I tell people this all the time. College was largely a huge waste of my time. It got me interested in CS which has become my career, but I probably would’ve stumbled into it anyway. If you can manage to do it
