I too felt uneasy about this. On one hand Stallman did something wrong on the other hand it smells like judgment by mob/hashtag/fashion, doing the right thing for the wrong reasons, and downright repression of free speech. I have

Put your Twitter user id and make sure your DM are open. If your email is old enough that you used it on Usenet, the spam from HN profile will surely be in homeopathic proportions!

As the parent poster pointed out, the ethical ground of the law, or how the case would be treated abroad would have no baring in court. Regardless, I think Stallmam's mistake was to try to start a debate about Minsky's guilt and a

This reminds an article I read years ago about airport blues, explaining that you are baby-sat the minute you step in the airport (more so back then when you had to to talk to humans to check in), guide to your gate, have restaurants and sh

Once you have lazy iterators (eg: generator expressions in Python) you can split your complex iterator operations into multiple lines without losing on performance nor conciseness, and increase readability over even list compréhensions.

Think hard about it, would you rather your government do something like this, or get a cheque every year like in Alaska (or right before an election in Alberta)?

Think about it, you're only one step away from using incognito tabs, which avoid polluting your main browser with cookies. To me that's even more important on mobile where we tend to clean our browsers less often.

by dorfsmay 7y ago
Do you open links in the same tab you're already in? Then, say you're on HN, do you use the back button to go back to HN? I might be in the minority to use incognito tabs for "random sites", but I've seen a lot of p
