It once struck me that there are way to many laws with hardcoded values. Just like in programming those values reflect situations that aren't nesasarily true anymore. For spying on public we should have laws that scale with trust and a

We've replaced fuel sources and all related technology many times. You can't reasonably argue we are now at the end of that process.

Long long ago people planted trees where a windmill was to be build. Construction would start 20-30 years later and also took quite a bit of time. If it took (I dunno) say a year to build one you could pick a new location and plant trees ea

Back in the days you could summon and culture them by posting seed spam. In one test 200 worked ~4 times as well as 50.

Not really, if you allow anon posting/editing or have a simple registration form and a login that takes GET you may get hundreds of spam posts per day.( @dang how much is it on hn?) I ont time forged a hilarious solution. If you proper

1) that has to be the worse case of premature optimization. 2) just solve the puzzle? The existing domain name system was wonderful when it was introduced. I'll do a crude solution that shouldn't make it to the short list of goodn

OT: I solve the election puzzle: Have anonymized, legally binding election programs. The voter gets two randomly selected programs. Basically bubble sort but with up and down vote counters. You spend 30 minutes in the boot before voting and

I don't like the way domains work in general. It's really quite expensive if you are wise enough to buy everything that looks to much like your website. Did buy https://ycombinator.us Didn't buy https:/&#x2F

I switch if the code is very ugly and unreadable. Often overly optimized things. One jumps to mind when I rewrote something to generate regexes.

I thought about nesting level coloring but had never seen it in action. I just look at it and it indeed looks nice. I thought it would be interesting as it separates that what repeats a task from the actual work being done on it. More nesti

Yes, and the form fillers are also terrible. I have and need a street and number field. Iphone puts the number behind the straatnaam and leaves the huisnummer field empty. If enough websites have duplicate functionality it should most likel

It seems perfectly reasonable to be part of a people but not pay, not vote and not suffer the consequences. As us citizens do have to pay taxes while enjoying limited benefits it would be much stranger to not let them vote.

What does seem unique is the obligation to pay income tax living abroad. It seems to make no sense to have a say if you aren't going to pay for anything. My Aunt moved to Australia 60 years ago. She should vote how my tax is spend? She

If you have a task you might want to notice how your 200 coworkers and/or competitors are doing it and how it works out. You might be able to figure it out superiorly on your own but it's still a waste of time and you won't e

Before you can hack a static website you first have to realize it is one and you need the motivation to do so. My "audience" is motivated by it being very outdated software. If non of the exploits work they will think I've pa

At work we have a phone used for a specific app. Rarely someone uses it for things that would build a targetable audience. I play a long YouTube video (AI slop) on it and the low profit ads are both frequent and very long. I just left it pl

You mean the second row right? Then i have to freeze the top row that isn't the top row? I understand there is no way back but it was a poor design choice. If you see a table on a website no one would put the alphabet in the top row. T
