There is simply far too much content being created all the time for current judicial systems to keep up with. Much of the law breaking content out there is never pursued. If we agree that greater censorship on social media is necessary, and

> I am planning to fix this in ring early in 2021 (January)... This is definitely the piece that gives the current versioning policy its sharp edge, so it's great news that the fix will arrive soon. Thanks for your hard work on Ring

I have never used Ring directly, but my experience dealing with it as a transitive dependency leads me to avoid it. Ring has a policy[0] of only supporting the latest released version with users being expected to always upgrade to latest Ri

Calling mass surveillance a "fundamentally Soviet activity" weakens your argument here. Is mass surveillance something that happened in the Soviet Union? Of course. But it also happens in the US and many other nations, liberal dem

As of time of writing, it is indeed front page on HN. Your comment's other claims also appear to be true. Since we agree on the facts so far, let's discuss the article.

While the creation and destruction of a scope every loop iteration is the correct mental model for what this code does, there's no reason that implementations must actually perform any allocations - especially for an example like this

An interesting insight I came across a little while ago is that for mainstream, industrial languages, this way of thinking about types is relatively new. It's not that we're seeing the pendulum swing back to types, it's that

A few people have already suggested alternatives to certbot, so I thought I'd throw another suggestion into the mix: dehydrated (formerly known as letsencrypt.sh) https://github.com/dehydrated-io/dehydrated I&#x27

Re sponge: the shell will open the output file for writing before invoking the command so in the example joey provides, /etc/passwd will be an empty file by the time sed opens it.

There could be no reasonable use case for something like this, and yet it would still have artistic value and this would still be an interesting article. It's a brilliant hack and we are on Hacker News after all.

As the kind of more conservative Rust user GP references, I've had a great time with the derive_more crate's From derive [0]. This lets me write code like this: #[derive(From, Debug)] pub enum SomeSpecificError {

x86 does do out-of-order execution however, so while it's true that you'll never read a half-written value, it's still important to use the atomic types to ensure that reads/writes across threads are performed in the rig

CSV as a format doesn't really exist. CSV is a family of similar but not always compatible data formats each with their own special rules and edge cases. Note that the quote is talking about a well-specified CSV, not any CSV in general

It's totally subjective of course, but I really like the lack of UI polish in VLC. To me it makes it feel like a real, powerful tool. Clearly the process killing thing is a straight up bug that should be fixed, but I do hope VLC retain

How do you dispose of plastic properly? Even landfill doesn't cut it - the stuff just breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces. These microplastics then enter the groundwater, and from there find their way into almost every part of
