Something which my parents have a hard time grasping: we're at one of the first times in American history where children are doing less off financially then there parents. My parents met in the 70's where my dad was making a killi

It's open source and had security auditing over the code. If it makes you feel better, I think Moxie also posts here in HN too.

Depending on the state you live in, e.g. California has two party consent to record audio, meaning if you don't consent then what they're doing is illegal.

Seems like it couldn't hurt to do the initial schema load in an optimal way, and if you add and drop columns to oblivion then that sucks but most people are add-only for databases of any sufficient size in general.

IANAL, is that actually the case? Just because you set the minimum doesn't mean if you're on the other side that you're legal. It's not binary. There is the legal grey zone.

The original Silk Road supposedly had amazing opsec but they caught him because one time he used the same, oblique username to register something many years previous IIRC.

Sure but again let's be a little more nuanced. When the Euro came out, trillions in wealth were automatically converted to it. Pretty apples to oranges comparison. If all USD was converted to BTC, BTC would become useful everywhere as

How about new in the sense that other currencies have been around for hundreds of years compared to only 14?

What you're saying clearly makes sense but Bitcoin isn't accepted almost anywhere which is what "new" means. Porn would be an early adopter for potentially mass consumption. It would be new to me certainly as I've n

It seems so wild that part of the US government was so happy to start wars in irrelevant countries despite the fact that it appears pretty obvious the real perpetrators hit the Pentagon with a plane. I wonder how conversations go between pe

I firmly believe in TDD where you write the test, watch if correctly fail, make the test in the simplest possible way, and then refactor to make it more readable or idiomatic. Red, green, refactor. I'd rather try and fix ugly code that

Genuine reasons but ones that still aren't good enough right? There shouldn't be some bar where it was just so difficult on the developer to ship broken security code. If it's that hard, stop writing critical software compone

I find the lack of tests pretty appalling for this code. How do people ship code and never see something like a user login failure case etc. People talk a lot of trash about TDD, but I feel like a lot of senior devs make this highly egotist

Obviously "doing your own research" is good but I think the question is totally reasonable in a tech forum where probably a very large percentage of people here have gone through this process. Also, they asked specifically about A

To continue that very last sentence, you are doing yourself a disservice, or like a lot of startups I think people just legitamately don't know how to value stocks and I think there is definitely a predatory nature to that. Perhaps I&#

Reminds me of the book "Thinking Fast and Slow", where the author describes the human brain as having two modes, the always on "fast" brain which makes lots of mistakes but doesn't consume much energy, and the more

Pretty interesting advice with lots of less obvious advice along the lines of "doing this may be less legal but safer". An additional fact like this is riding without a helmet can actually make surrounding drivers perceive you as

"They have the strongest magnetic fields ever observed, so strong they can melt you—literally dissociate you down to the atomic level—from a thousand kilometers away." So horrifying and yet I love the author's enthusiasm.

This is hilarious: "Integration with cloud services allows Exaluminal to control other home IoT devices. Yes, Exaluminal will tell your Alexa to play It's The End Of The World As We Know It."

This is awesome. Especially the ability to compress delimiters. I can't tell you how many times I want to grab a couple fields from the output of another command but can't get delimiters to work correctly or they're using cus

Given the game is free to play (freemium), I find it interesting that random stuff can't drop on the ground. So games can't give away free digital goods? Is this only in the context of people who paid something?

I also remember learning Scheme and having it be a real mind bender. Scheme/Racket is great, but I think Clojure being more opinionated and being immutable by default is a huge improvement in terms of understanding larger projects. Als

Untitled Goose Game has a pretty funny (nonverbal) story and is fun for kids and not particularly violent.

Start a REPL and you can type code in that is immediately executed, and has no side-effects in terms of classfiles being generated or otherwise. How is that not interpreted?

by gleenn 4y ago
Clojure is also basically interpreted but can also be compiled ahead of time for reasons including performance.

This seems like a pretty simple addition but that probably has profound effects on end-games. Also the fact that it's a duck is pretty adorable.

If you're okay with JVM, I'm a big fan of Clojure. There are some great scientific libraries in the SciCloj community and you get the untyped but performant characteristics you're looking for.

Afaik the local governments choose the opportunity zones. They probably put those zones next to colleges because they met the requirements AND someone locally thought it would be a good idea to develop there. I definitely still think it&#x2

Anecdata but I personally know more than a few people who moved to Nevada to avoid California taxes, so yes.
