The reason to avoid running your own forum is because the cost of effort to interact on a bespoke forum is lower than it is on a dedicated one. Subreddits usually ban people from posting who have under a specific amount of points; this stop

Unironically yes. There are simple steps that can be taken to drastically reduce the amount of harm caused unto you and by you unto others and transmission through vaccinated individuals is lowered. We would have been done with this befor

Here's an obvious one: As a society, we went from a period of it being socially acceptable to marry ridiculously young girls as an old man to the present day where it's unheard of. People will point to the law being the reason for

It is a position that goes against all available data. We should absolutely stigmatize stupidity. People making crowd-harming decisions despite available evidence should be shamed. People stopped dying because of (their own) stupidity a

This is a very low quality article and the arguments seem to be very poor and don't really align with the data. Maybe I'm just old enough to remember there was a period of time when people actually thought stigmatizing unintellige

Window managers on Aqua do a lot less than you're thinking if you're coming off of conventional UNIX window managers. All they do is move the windows; they don't draw anything.

What's wrong with what they're doing there? Your project was named extremely generically and is spelled like a typo; correct the typo and Google and IBM have cloud services most assuredly more popular than your own, and you still

ILM and Pixar both started out as subsidiaries of Lucasfilm. None of them were meaningfully set up for actual independence as much to minimize risk for the companies they spawned from, and it kind of makes sense what happened to them. Paras

GPUs have existed since long before 2009. Sorry, but the guy who wrote Unreal Tournament of all people definitely did not make a basic mistake or generalization like you're insinuating.

Not true in classic or Blizzard's modern "Classic." It's a pretty easy speedrun, and the community's been doing it since literally 2004. Here's a really fast example from 2006: https://www.joanasworl

Unfortunately, a certain employee who was rightfully kicked out of Mozilla in 2014 made a few bets that paid off (users dislike ads, users are stupid and will love it if you offer them money, and they'll go crazy for security snake oil

At the rate Firefox's market share is currently declining, it seems unlikely Mozilla actually has a finger on the pulse of the wider "millions [of users] around the world."

Am I the only one who thinks that Zig's syntax looks incredibly ugly? I've never seen a snippet that didn't make my eyes glaze over from the syntax. What am I not getting here?

It was decent up until the last half. The all caps nature of your post was unnecessary and childish, and while it makes sense to be upset at Mozilla's mismanagement and ads in your browser, you cite needlessly off-topic examples where

PostScript also has dup, rot and pick, though the last two are given different names, and it's stack-based. PostScript is a derivative of FORTH, but it isn't FORTH. While a FORTH can be object-oriented (more than a few have been),

It's pretty under the radar. Your perception is probably being influenced by your online forum of choice. HN has around a dozen members who frequently post FORTH-related content, and a moderator that has sympathy for the language and f

It's hard to claim FORTH is "hype" while not being delusional about how few people actually have used it (and how high the percentage of very accomplished FORTH authors there are out of the whole of FORTH users). There is exc
