While I also recognize the valid argument that this is deceptive, I have to agree with you: 1. In no world would I ever believe that a cold email was significantly personalized/targeted, except if the overall content were highly specif

Ha. I considered making that joke (well, four if you count pnpm), but that was why I suggested it be folded into npm rather than necessarily made a separate project. Either way, the trope doesn't really apply. Even if this were a new

Rust or Go would work. Write a drop-in npm replacement (or a future release of npm itself) in Rust/Go for performance reasons (following the precedent of SWC and esbuild), get it to a point where it's fully functional with no depe

I discovered something similar a couple days ago. After googling the title of a paywalled article (that I didn't care enough about to actually pay to read), the closest thing to the unredacted article in the search results was a versio

Sounds similar in principle to the consequences of failing to complete a course of antibiotics.

So, just to be clear, your position is that any >=middle-class person who doesn't donate the majority of their wealth to charity is "evil"? What do policies have to do with anything? I can't tell if this is a seriou

Then, the only way you can convince yourself you’re not an evil person is by playing some Mental gymnastics. Does benefiting from severe inequality imply amorality? I don't see any inherent contradiction between personal financial su

What I remember being taught in school is that Neanderthals were more intelligent than Cro-Magnons in many ways, but were ultimately less successful (evolutionarily speaking) because they were less social.

I do this with my WearOS smartwatch (gen 4 Fossil Sport). It works pretty well overall, although I had to find a third-party app (WMusic) to allow copying music to the watch and playing without an active connection to the phone.

Makes sense. Seems like the incentives will be problematic either way. Personally, I'd just have the state cover it, but explicitly not have it come out of the police budget. A reimbursement check or tax credit could work. In the event

I have a somewhat similar anecdote. At a previous job, I would frequently work late nights and weekends (honestly more for fun than anything). Around the end of one week, I ended up pulling a few consecutive all-nighters. Unbeknownst to me,

Eh. They're allowed to do that as per a literal definition of semver, but they turned it into a completely different tool with completely different usage patterns and use cases. It's one thing to have to make some small tweaks to

My experience with Yarn 2 was switching to NPM 7. NPM 7 is fantastic, and feels like a worthy successor to Yarn 1. Yarn >=2 is probably fine for what it is, but I wasn't prepared to invest resources into rearchitecting how we handle

I think he's just saying "the guy's an asshole, but he's usually not wrong". (Not agreeing or disagreeing either way, as I know nothing about Thunderf00t.)

This is an idea I've been interested in since it came up last month ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27582145 ), but I don't personally feel strongly enough yet to land on either side. That being said, for all

Maybe measuring semantic density would make more sense than literal characters/words. Produce two matching texts in Japanese and English that multiple experts in both languages can agree are comparable in both meaning and relative verb

On a related note, one thing I'd never thought about until actually being served by a masked waiter last month was that, pandemic aside, I kind of liked it as a general protection against having them accidentally breathe or spit on my

On a related note, Libreboot would be a killer feature for these things. If I'm being honest, there's very little chance of me leaving my M1 MBA for anything other than another Apple Silicon machine any time soon. That being said,

Ah okay, yeah, clearly would need to be checked then if they wanted a literal and honest answer.

Ah okay, that makes sense.

Actually, as worded, I think "no" is technically the correct answer to that. The current projected/expected arrival time would be altered at the time that you begin driving more quickly, but the planned arrival time is os

Agreed. I think it's a major issue in political discourse when people begin to identify with labels and slogans, and treat them as prescriptive (ideals to be adhered to) rather than descriptive (approximate reflections of one's cu

Agreed. I wonder if there just isn't enough funding and developer interest to follow through on the ambitious goals of Wayland in a more reasonable time frame because of the maturity and increasing Unixyness of macOS and Windows. Perso

when you aligned anyone right of center with neo-Nazis Again, I didn't say that. Furthermore, while it's entirely beside the point, I personally do hold many political positions that might be considered right of center in Americ

Your example that Republicans are the big tent party doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. It shouldn't, because that isn't what I said. Ok, seems like you know it’s short sighted but want to “win” just to do so, even if temporary

That's a great approach. I like the concise way of stating it. I'll apply it to a couple things that are popular topics right now. --- Automated fact checking: The negative consequences are pretty obvious. It's easy to cheer

Caffeine is a drug. We take lots of drugs. We are in the infancy of understanding many of them because we're young and because we've been prudes. Personally, I don't think it's going to be all that long before society&

No idea why you're getting downvoted Speculation: conflation of his reasonable and factual statement with the ostensibly similar far-right talking point that the cure (social distancing) is worse than the disease.

In my experience, Firefox actually has better performance than Chrome nowadays — particularly on Apple Silicon, where the difference is stark and dramatic. And with the new "Proton" interface, IMO Firefox finally looks at least as
