"Corporeal punishment" is not a phrase. It's "corporal punishment". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporal_punishment

It's not. "Corporal punishment" is the correct spelling in the US, too.

I would be interested to see that article. I tried googling for it but could only find some articles about censorship on Chinese streaming sites and Netflix missing some scenes from the DVD release due to issues with the master copies.

He confessed to cheating online, not over the board. People have used shoddy statistics to allege that he cheated over the board, but none of them have held up under scrutiny. I'm not saying the guy is a saint, but low-effort cheating

It by no means diminishes the magnitude of the list, but it's worth noting that the list is heavily bloated because any person with multiple aliases or whose name can be spelled in multiple ways (e.g. due to differing romanization syst

Just repeating "fauxpen source" doesn't mean anything to me. What actual change are you referring to?

Awk is a fun, surprisingly powerful language. Even plain mawk can do a lot, but gawk has debugger support, profiling, namespaces, and even network support. (I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to use most of those features, but it&

Yeah, variance between different system utilities is one of the biggest underrated perils of shell scripting. For a long time, I worked on a team that mostly used Macs to administer Linux servers, which led to some confusing issues when peo

How do you accomplish that for a programming language? Make the language open source but sell a proprietary debugger? And how does that solve the problem corporations controlling languages, given that you would presumably have a corporation

The US government obtained that data by illegally tapping into Google's data centers, which means the government was still the entity violating the 4th amendment. If you want to criticize Google's data collection, fine, but doing

by czx4f4bd 4y ago
Google isn't a branch of the US government, so the 4th amendment doesn't apply. If you want adtech surveillance to be regulated, lobby for GDPR-style regulation in the US.

I remembered this post today and saw it hadn't been submitted to HN in a while, so I thought it might be worth revisiting. I would be interested to know how the state of JSON parsing has evolved since the post's last update in 201

I'm not sure I understand how that scenario would arise with a monorepo. The whole point of a monorepo is that everything changes together, so if you have a shared internal library, every service should be using the same version of tha

The original article cited the SPLC, not the ADL, so this has literally nothing to do with the topic at hand except that the GP commenter's mind for some reason jumped to the ADL while trying to defend books about murdering Jews and ot

It would have taken you two minutes of investigation to realize that these books are nothing like To Kill a Mockingbird. You could have read the SPLC article that the author linked, which lists numerous books explicitly promoting white supr

I live in an apartment complex with a lot of neighbors and a fair amount of churn, so I have actually seen open networks nearby. I also can't be sure that someone won't move in and create a new one.

Oops. Thanks for the correction. I only lightly skimmed the project page, so I think the "Support 10x Development" header made me assume it was an open source project asking for donations. That said, I'm not really sure why I

No, this is just one of many reasons I haven't yet bought a smart TV. I probably will give in this year, but only because I can finally afford something much larger than what I have today. Here's the thing: At the end of the day,

And this is why I have avoided buying a smart TV for almost ten years now. A TV is a consumer product. I should not have to open it up and modify the fucking hardware just to make it work how I want.
