The problem is many people — not here on HN but in general — were happy or at least unperturbed when this happened to right wing figures like Donald Trump, the trucker protestors in Canada and the 1/6 capitol riot people in the US. It

I mean, you’re on the right track in that they did cut out other insanity. But unclear how much of the speed up is necessarily tied to breaking backward compat (are there a lot of “.egg” files in the wild?)

T480 is indeed superb (except for being on the heavy side). I accidentally hurled my phone into the screen (both were on the bed and I shook the sheets trying to find the beeping phone). The replacement screen was like $75 and a 5 minute jo

What an odd thing for them to put in the article. This is an example of AI generated code making someone a better programmer (by improving their ability to read code and give feedback). So it contradicts the title. They could rename it &quo

Apple only sees the credit card if you buy from them, if you buy from a retailer they don’t get that info. To be clear, this is their problem, not the customers. Still, I’m curious what the scammer did in this case. If a retail worker just

Yup - my LG (~6 months old) works fine without my ever having given it a WiFi password. This is what the article recommends by the way.

Not really. It wasn’t audacious in service of anything innovative. Haskell takes functional programming to the nth degree, scala tried to be an advanced Java for example better at concurrency. Perl was an early dynamic (garbage collected) “

Oops last example should be $hash1->{“hash2”} - this is a whole hash referenced with $ because of the implementation detail that it is in hash1 as a reference, which is considered a scalar. Technically you are allowed to use % like so: %

Perl heads are downvoting you but I agree as a longtime ex Perl user that the sigils were noisy nonsense. The original intent was you could see var types with them - $scalar, @array, %hash. They immediately broke this by deciding the sigil

How are you measuring "lightweight" here, what do you mean by it? (Not doubting your claim this just seems one of those words that means many different things depending on the context.)

I’m sorry, who the heck wrote this and why should I trust them? Very poorly written, also. It’s bizarre. There is a photo at the top, no name, no site title. No about page. Extremely untrustworthy.

Shallow. Especially “ The era of XML is in the past… now it's dead.” That’s not an argument against the merits of XML, it’s just a fashion declaration. It’s also wrong. Podcasting boils down to XML files. It even heavily uses XML’s ext

I completely agree with the insight that full text search has been complexified. People seem to want to jump straight to clustering or other enterprise level things. I also appreciate the moxie of getting in there and building it yourself.

These are more incorrect emotional claims. Withdrawing from an agreement (all three of your examples) is not the same as reneging or “breaking” the agreement. The US has not withdrawn from NATO; meanwhile, it has proactively withdrawn from
