What kind of issues did you have with the foundation? There’s many individual damage symptoms, but typically humidity somehow enters through the walls of the basement, making them damp/wet and thereby leading to mould infestation. The

The “safety” Rust offers is just avoiding C and C++ specific memory access pitfalls, similar to pretty much any mainstream programming language except C and C++. It can also prevent data races, I’ll give it that. The novelty is doing the ab

You’re subtly gaslighting the parent poster by implying the car couldn’t have hit them and that it was just being “scary”.

Back when I was listening to Goa/Psy, I liked Infected Mushroom, Juno Reactor, Hallucinogen, Cosma and Shpongle. I also liked the chill Mystery of the Yeti albums. Have no clue who most of the artist on the topic website are. Sean Tyas

A lot of remote vulnerabilities are in iMessage which she’d use heavily I imagine. Other messengers aren’t necessarily safer. You should get her a new phone. The risk for her isn’t banking, it’s getting spied on by some creep. IMO that coul

Based on previous comments, I think you’re in a sort of architecture / lead role. Interruptions are part of the job description :)

Not hiring enough people is a chronic problem for all companies. Being remote makes it worse though, since WFH tends to amplify personnel and culture problems… The only thing WFH solves really is long commutes and noisy offices. It also m

Are work contracts somehow deficient in the US? In the EU countries I know, each contract has an office location specified. Alternatively, it specifies that the job is remote. Anything else is an informal benefit and can be taken away at

The person in question was an adult around 19 years old. At this age one must surely know that eating bad foods would cause stomach problems, vomiting, etc. Guy must have been intoxicated or had other problems to do such an abnormal thing.

He was ~19 years old. If by that time one doesn’t know about microbes, or understands why eating random creatures raw is a bad idea, then they have significant issues. Nobody’s approving anyone’s death either, your insinuations are unjustif

Not eating slugs is not “dumb luck” and not all kids are equally “dumb”. Yes, kids are particularly vulnerable to groupthink and peer pressure and can’t evaluate risks properly, but that doesn’t make them dumb. I grew up in a village, spent

Europeans failed at stopping them and no one was punished. That’s the only thing that matters, trying is not good enough. I agree we’re not the same as the Kremlin and I like to use a metaphor of Western vs Eastern EU corruption to illustra

Everyone should be familiar with the US and (Western-)Europe led wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria which destabilized those countries with horrendous human costs. Two important consequences for the EU were: * the refugee crisis in

No, I think Europe and especially the US are both fine with having blood on our hands. Depends whose blood, that’s all. Also don’t mix morals and geopolitics, they’re often incompatible. Our safety in Europe is at risk because of our stupid

As can be seen, over-reliance on expensive non-Russian gas is not exactly a blessing and indicates that the “over”-reliance on cheap Russian gas was rational, but alas incompatible with US hegemony. Many EU countries depended and still depe

If we’re talking about people with the “odd” habit of working away from home, they represent the great majority of humanity. One has to be several layers deep in the bubble to think otherwise.

What’s left unsaid: many programmers can’t or don’t want to “accomplish something for people”. They just want to code. Such “automation is not a problem, because…” opinions have something in common: they’re looking at a subset of the affect

I just checked the old Rust classic “ripgrep” on github. In matcher.rs, the enum is used as poor man’s OOP. I saw several match expressions which then call the same function on each matched type. searcher/mod.rs is an error definition.

The Rust community always had a deep interest to sell Rust and did so through blog posts, comments and projects. I’ve seen this with many other languages on HN, but the zeal with which Rust is constantly shoved in the face of everyone is a
