Low effort comment but an upvote felt inadequate: thanks!

This called to mind Trevor Noah and Esther Perel talking about exactly this (among many other things): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss1zseYy7J8 . I was both entertained and informed by this; it's a great listen.

I thought the point of captchas was to make automated use as expensive or more than manual use--haven't we been at the point where computers can do this for a while, just that the cost/latency is prohibitive?

Oh good, another CBOR thread. Disclaimer: I wrote and maintain a MessagePack implementation. I've also bird dogged this for a while, HN search me. Mostly, I just want to offer a gentle critique of this book's comparison with Messa

The way these work is they're net profitable given all users, so you have to recategorize users in one of two ways: - a user subsidizing other users - a user subsidized by other users I don't know what OP prefers, but given that p

I agree with this take, insofar as I interpret it as "we do a lot of bullshit that doesn't matter". Like, do you remember people arguing Rails vs Django, or even worse Rails vs Sinatra? I do and did, and my meager defense is

I agree; I think there's a huge veil of perception thing happening here like. I've worked directly with dozens of coders and indirectly with hundreds, and like, no one does their job like I do? It's like we all show up to the

Hey! Cards on the table I'm not in love w/ your post, but mostly I'm curious about what discussion or outcome you were hoping for with it. Doesn't this boil down to "bad things will happen if you have data races in

Anything hosted on a cloud service is necessarily a proprietary fork: they have to in order to integrate it into their infra. It's not the case they're just loading the docker image and calling it a day.

You're free to structure code in and around goroutines however you like. No one's forcing you to spray this all over your codebase. Feel free to implement work queues, or the actor pattern, or whatever. No one's forcing you t

I feel like I'm defending Go constantly these days. I don't even like Go! Go can already ensure "consistency of multi-word values": use whatever synchronization you want. If you don't, and you put a race into your c

They don't tend to "kill" the original, they just force them into "source available" licenses. Wikipedia has stuff like MariaDB, MongoDB, Sentry, Redis, etc. as some examples. https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2

1. I don't think this is possible. I think it's better to pursue a world where violence is unnecessary and aberrant. 2. I'm refusing to indulge your strawman. Let's use something like "is teaching your kid how to de

Your boos mean nothing; I've seen what makes you cheer! :p

There's at least a little space between "a world free of violence" and "public hanging".

This is pretty intriguing but it wants me to make an account? Can I view it w/o doing that? EDIT: also I gotta say these numbers seem kinda high. It's hard for me to imagine there's ~28m JS programmers worldwide; that's

You can be traumatized and carry on with life. For example, your terrible arguments in this thread are traumatizing me, and I'm somehow soldiering on. Satan give me strength, oh dark lord.

I think this is about as well as this can be said--failing to teach kids about bad stuff about humanity isn't protecting them, it's failing them.

There are, you might imagine, other factors involved. Infant and child mortality were super high, but kids were an important source of labor, so people worked to have lots. There was no real birth control or sex ed. Marital rape wasn't

TL;DR: mostly what I mean is Go is the only language from this millennium that's consistently in the top 10 most popular programming languages. >> This requires you to squint so that "popular" happens to identify only a
