matter of fact it does not, as when I posted this originally it was literally the last item on the front page. So, no. But keeping carrying water for this website and its companies! I'm sure they'll be real appreciative! Edit: I

Its also pretty telling how quickly this is getting flagged off the front page!

Pretty wild how much "just execute better" posts there are, one wonders if its the common response to a situation like this, from this community, and what that says about trustworthiness in general of YC "founder" types!

Yeah, thats really gross and also wildly incorrect, having been unhoused in Chicago, multiple times, over a period of years and not in any way by choice. Few, I would say vanishingly few people in those circumstance, are "unhoused by

adding a config to your webserver to evade a soft block is directly enabling continued harassment. Its not passive, not "I'm just getting out of the way here", not "I can't stop this, not my fault", you are lit

This is extremely gross 'Dang, and I'm wondering how you can possibly defend doing this. Seriously, why are you going to these lengths to evade a soft-block on links to specific sites that very clearly and explicitly are communica

yeah, I don't read slate much anymore but this is the most #slatepitch "article" I've waded into in a very long time. "Bike helmets actually __harm__ you" is like textbook definition contrarian clickbait.

there is no framework whatsoever for neural monitoring. This is willfully dishonest, and more than a bit worrying to see trotted out as a defense of one of the most invasive technologies currently in development.

I'm unfortunately quite familiar, and I heard him speak in person in Cambridge MA, many years ago when he was in the first period of his fame. Its not just my own feelings about him or his dishonesty, he truly was a lackluster speaker

by dtornabene 4y ago
He's an awful public speaker though, fwiw. Maybe he's changed since the time I saw him but it was....less than satisfying.

the idea that "making things 'more secure' is active hostility", is some grade A trolling, congratulations on that.
46.
by dtornabene 4y ago
its absurd, and you're slandering a bunch of free software devs who care quite deeply about security and user safety, in service of a total conspiracy theory that quite frankly comes across as trolling. Good luck with that. If by chanc

bizarre. not even sure what that linked comment is supposed to do for your argument here. The idea that rust is some plot by "companies" to "prevent jailbreaking" is ..... rough, man.

multiple people, myself included, logged in to comment precisely because the idea that MR is mostly aptly described as "Azure CTO" is a bit much. Glad the op commented the way they did, it also obviated this exact argument by simp

Pretty wild to read so many comments about "programmers and their one true language write terrible code anyway/or are weird" when the person being commented on wrote one of the best perl books there is (and one of the best pr

Both of these are still perfectly serviceable texts for common lisp purely in terms of "can I run this code from 20+ years ago unchanged on sbcl I just installed via a package manager?". Practical Common Lisp is simply a phenomen

Seeing a lot of "no evidence" and such from comments and just putting it out there that I had heard of behavior like this over ten years ago living in Boston and meeting former students of Felleisen. I've been a lisp person

I'm sure its not too much trouble to whip up on my own but if you have any emacs lisp helping you do this I'd love to read (and use) it

this was also a major step for me, understanding what a basic block was and also seeing the code organized that way

These have nothing whatsoever to do with cats or insectiside and they're not even remotely "common". The fact that die offs are happening more now , due, as the piece notes, almost certainly to effects of climate change shou

A good book on Term Re-Writing is "Term Rewriting and All That". It uses Standard ML for implementation of the algorithms, just an excellent text overall. Also, there's a component of BAP, the Binary Analysis Platform, that

Just want to push back a bit and leave a dissenting view on ML for the Working Programmer. If one actually works their way through the text, by the end they will have written a basic interpreter for the lambda calculus, and a small tactics

Err, uh, where do you get the idea that Khan academy "has ushered more people into STEM than any single person"? Seriously. I don't even know how you would measure something that.

if people are interested in this I'd recommend Silvio Cesare's new hackerspace blog. He's been publishing what appears to be a running series for a year and change now on heap attacks, highly illuminating. Several of the pos

I feel like there should be a text that teaches assembly, not assumes it, but teaches it specifically with an eye toward shellcode and/or reversing. Every "learn assembly" text I've ever seen either teaches it in relati
