I think that just means the author is writing bad side notes. Structurally, they do have a place. You said that yourself - "I do like to see details and I'm curious". An author moving all their side notes into the main conten

I'm frustrated this is getting so much pushback - puns are noise. HN is more enjoyable than reddit precisely because of the higher signal-to-noise ratio. But a significant part of the comments of this post are arguing about how much fu

I totally disagree. "Gifted kid burnout" pretty much refers to the experience of being "gifted" with intelligence and never needing to work hard to be praised as a high achiever. The "gift" really does exist, a

I think it wins unless this attitude takes root. We cannot trust our "democratic" institutions to survive without constant outward pressure to resist the press of authoritarianism. It is a never-ending fight, and authoritariani

Having such a narrow view of technology appears to be an even more common fallacy. Legislation is technology. New systems can be invented which continue to work around it, and further, law can be extended to protect certain actions. I don

I'm referring to the internet, not the whole of human existence. That would be too complicated a subject to make any such simplistic statements on. But actually I also disagree with your premise that we don't have small corrupt gr

Honestly, I can't even finish reading through this comment. This is the opposite of idealism - is there a word for it? You seem to be complaining that something is impossible because it can't be implemented in a perfect utopian wa

First I'm hearing of the programming language, but Futhark is the name given to several forms of the Old Norse runic alphabet, not made up wholesale or derived from other less-serious names.

Besides the obvious points made by others, those are odd choices. I don't trust any of those brands.

This is confusing and vague to me, which I believe is exactly the intent. It focuses on security, reiterates that security is their top priority (and we know that this is untrue). What were the security problems? They don't even allud
