Rich Hickey, Alex Miller, Stu Holloway, Nathan Marz, and the other people in this video are all very impressive, intelligent people. But never undercount how much if their success is due to consistent effort. They worked hard at something t

Raising children is hard but assuming everyone has to sacrifice their rights so your job is easier means everyone means everyone loses long term.

The only reason the deep state or anyone has any power is because most people don't care. If people cared, we could change. Modern politics is all about distracting everyone with some crazy as often as possible to keep shifting attenti

I think the effect is actually backwards: there may only be 2 windows instead of 4 but the total amount of time window per year should theoretically go up significantly. The 2 removed reports should make both of those quarters less subject

I feel like it's not higher than most consumers, if I have a problem that is serious enough then that's the benefit and direct trade-off of renting - it shouldn't be my problem and my landlord should take it seriously. If eve

I feel like you are being a bit contradictory: the suggestion is to dissuade AI content - isn't that "design[ing] a site to deter group(s) of people that they don't want"? I personally don't want to vibe check every

I think we can be a little more nuanced than calling this sentiment outright stupid. A top HN article is about Scientific publications being overwhelmed with LLM trash. LLMs do pose a very real challenge to modern discourse. 10 years ago we

It matters to me because I'm reading it now and feel more informed about this problem. Throwing the towel in and saying it's all pointless isn't helpful.

In theory, it's a legal requirement based on GDPR and CCPA as well as many other new digital rights laws across Europe and many states in the USA. SoundCloud is probably big enough to do that correctly otherwise e.g. the GDPR penalty i

And what special sauce does the web preview use? At some point, someone has to actually parse and process the data. I feel like on a tech site like Hacker News, speculating that Google has somehow done a perfect job of preventing malicious

Do you have any specifics on what Drive does? Any examples of it fixing embedded virii? Or is this blind assumption?

If you're implementing immutable DB semantics maybe you should consider Datomic or alternatives because then you get that for free, for everything, and you also get time travel which is an amazing feature on top. It lets you be able to

It's definitely an interesting approach but the problem is now you have to change all your queries and undeleting get more complicated. There are strong trade-offs with almost all the approaches I've heard of.

Long term you couldn't kill more than existed, asymptotically the maximum number of ODs per unit time would be exactly equal to the number created, impossible to be more.

Both can be true. I have specifically heard that shoe glue needs to be repeatedly compressed to be maintained or it will disintegrate. Anecdotally as well, I had a pair of quality, lightly used, but old, hiking boots that had the sole compl

My friend also always runs multiple string lines through during construction. Later if a wire breaks or you want an additional cable or upgrade, you attach your new wire to a string and pull the string from the other end all the way through

That's awesome, but I feel like half the time most people aren't in the position to add requirements so a lot of shenanigans still happens, especially in big corps

"The incontinent babblerer at the steering wheel of my mind seemed to fear being asked to step out of the vehicle for a while" - man that typo really reminds me to use the restroom before long rides...

Um, last I remember, my English teacher's cooy was absolutely full of underlined and also colored words due to a significant amount of color symbolism. The words maybe be within reach but it's the metaphors and deeper meanings whi

It is implementing Clojure which does not have static typing so my strong assumption would be no

There are many cases where you don't control the library code your code depends on that you want to test. Also, the FactoryFactoryFactory patterns can be quite cumbersome and simply mocking out something makes for a far simpler test. T

Sad to see an important project's core maintainer leave but their justification seems very understandable. It is sad so much of OSS is maintained by very few as they alluded to in the XKCD comment, an especially given they felt the JVM

Maybe you should send it enough mail to fill it up and the it would reject emails? Send a bunch of emails with large attachments and avoid getting marked as spam.

Clojure also has the threading macro -> and ->> which are great at converting exactly the same type of code into a stream of modifications instead of breaking out everything into variables. Naming things can be very useful sometime

Same with flying they say. But how free are you if the government snaps its fingers and removes every reasonable mode of transportation unless you sacrifice your privacy? The cameras (which are 100% opt-out by the way, tell them NO) in airp
