Yeah, I think trying to take the idiom too literally reveals a lot of holes, comparing apples to oranges is a legitimate thing to do in the context of what fruit to eat, for example. Nitpicking that particular but doesn't negate the ov

There's a study by the authors? I mean if they just said that I was a hoax by the authors that'd be one thing, but they did specifically mention the data has spoken so...

We're seeing so much citizen science! I remember there was a HN article a while back that a urged for more regular people conducting science! This stuff should be celebrated, not drowned beneath a pile of "not actual science"

From my very very limited understanding, the amount of influence webp (compared to even say AVIF) people have seems disproportionate compared to how useful it's been.

From my research, the claims themselves are true or at least close to true, but the implications behind those claims were not. Builders remedy did end the zoning regime as it existed, but it didn't abolish zoning, merely replace it wit

It seemed exciting to me! Maybe gatekeeping technical knowledge is not something we want to do...

The exact text is as so. > After the line label (if any), must follow one of the following statement identifiers: DO, PLEASE, or PLEASE DO. These may be used interchangeably to improve the aesthetics of the program. The identifier is the

To say Global Foundries does the manufacturing for AMD chips is at best misleading or incomplete. AMD, like basically everyone else, uses TSMC now for the majority of production.

I mean I trust Firefox to not steal my data, or maybe $APP_NAME, but do I trust the C++ code? Or maybe it's an app that's been pwned a lot. Sandboxing has uses other than running actively hostile apps (for which I'd argue thi

I think the parent was trying to say LLVM implements pointer provenance semantics in some form, as "these" semantics doesn't really make sense. As to what form LLVM implements... a weird mishmash of many semantics, with some

If Plan 9 had been released earlier before Unix took over the world, then there's a good chance Plan 9 would've taken over the world instead. Bad decisions can be made without the second system effect coming into play, and vice ve

Such a system is still vulnerable (I'd daresay even more so) to account takeovers. And it might even have cascading effects depending on how your ban one level up goes. For a first approximation, even if one user can only invite 2 user

And yet we as a society look down on preppers. It's quite sad to see people complain about shortages and do nothing themselves. These aren't even shortages due to economic reasons or poverty, but rather due to simply to disruption
