Think about your future health while your mind is clear. After the trauma of divorce is not the time. Also, I think these questions are in bad faith. It is actually hard to get people to change any behavior. The public health benefits shoul

Dear All, As you post, please be clear what age range child you are discussing. There are a lot of posts here advocating strategies that make sense for a 10 year old but are ridiculous for a 15 year old. Remember: once the children have fri

Spot on. Social interactions don’t thrive when negative emotions are present. People want to feel good about what they are doing. Even the used car salesman that wants to be your friend knows this… bring good energy to HN as well.

I’ve met some of them. To me: don’t get stuck. If it’s not working, move on. There’s a zillion volunteer orgs, so keep shopping until you find somewhere that you like and appreciates you. I stay volunteering for the people I work with even

Professor of 40 years is leaving to teach in Florida. That’s retirement, not a protest, no matter how you spin it. This guy claims no white men were getting in to graduate school (in 2021). I’ll look for a more credible source before I get

With 10 undersea cables damaged in the Baltic 2023-2025, it’s obvious a different part of the government needs to become involved. Acting for your national security doesn’t need to (shouldn’t) mean there is no trial.

My real world observations agree with the direction of the study, so I don’t entirely dismiss it as fake based on its funding source. I am cautious about the conclusion, though. It seems clear there is a spectrum from “unscrupulously pirate

For the last two decades, YouTube (or better, MIT's OpenCourseWare) has provided instruction that sets a baseline. I'm positive that college lecturers fall below this baseline, but there's plenty of alternatives that a modera

I would even accept hearsay as better than “you’ll find a lot on your own.” I totally agree these comments contain discussion of controversial cases, but your claim is surprising to the point of being unbelievable without any kind of suppor

I'd just ask writers to be up-front about it. "English isn't my native language, so this is processed using an LLM." Even the replies in HN comments scream "LLM".

The article is quite interesting. It ranges from a mathematical discussion (it explains Stein’s variant of the GCD algorithm if you make it far enough) to instruction-set-level issues. For example: > GCC documents __builtin_clz(0) as hav

Possibly true, but irrelevant to the post to which you are replying. The argument is over providing you the source code.

Sure, but can you back up the expletive with some reason why you think that? As it is, this comment is just letting out your emotion, not engaging in dialogue.

Very interesting article! For me, the reason for reaching for the “backwards” version first is that it wasn’t as clear to me that the “forward” version makes a uniform distribution. Even after reading the article. I appreciated the comment

You should have linked the MIT License on Wikipedia (or anywhere else) instead of Free Software. The license is only three paragraphs long. You can see it does not contain text supporting your claim. https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2F

Title could be “ugly C++ idioms prevent map::operator[] from being [[nodiscard]]”. Many of the uses are in Google’s codebase. Overall very technical- interesting if you are a library writer or maybe if you care about long term improvements

A probabilistic attack on redaction is still an attack. You'd never be blase about the same information about your password. Plus with redaction there's a pretty small number of posible words when the boxes are small.

I don’t agree with this. If you’re in a place that wants dollars or euros because their currency is “bad” (volatile or unable to freely exchange for dollars), they prefer dollars. You can tell because you get a better than official exchange

This reading doesn’t make sense. There’s no way to extrapolate from this to any statement about 40% of the population, and even 40% of the day is a serious misread imo.

No need to be judgmental about statistics. They are just facts. A similar result about alcohol would be the (hypothetical) statement that the rate of drunk drivers in fatal accidents was constant before and after the enactment of Prohibitio
