I’d say both. The author of the post called Rust async/await a disaster, and the top commenter, who withoutboats replied to, agreed with the author’s criticism.

Agreed. Troy is shaming a serial scammer. We don't know anything else about the scammer's background other than that they calls themselves "Muhammed" Moreover, the presumption that an Islamic name means they’re underpriv

"Basement dweller" culture is overrepresented on the internet. "I don't care about windows", "I shower once a week" and "I’ve never seen my friends in person" are sentiments I hear often on image

> All code is a cost This is the truth, as far I'm concerned. We say "technical debt" instead of "bad code" because the former sounds more acceptable in the business environment. But it's still the same mean

Wow, $2040 for a table component: https://www.bryntum.com/store/ . I'd pay that in a heartbeat if it had the API and UI that fits in with the rest of my software. Better an upfront price in dollars for a component

Yeah, it's hard to know anything that contradicts your identity, which Paul Graham (the founder of HN) alluded to in his piece: http://www.paulgraham.com/identity.html When people call us out on it, our first instinct

It's hard to question your own identity. If this article had described a social media addiction, a gaming addiction, or any kind of digital addiction that did not involve the word "hacking", I think we would be a lot less amb

React is a framework that doesn't want to admit it's a framework. If you follow its recommendations like Hooks, you have to write your JS a "special way" since React owns your component lifecycle. Put simply, React calls

When I hear of multiple CVEs described without details (or categorization), the phrase "Security Theatre" comes to mind. Apparently, there is no formal oversight over how CVEs are reported or assigned severity. But because the lab

The difference is that someone pirated another person's software and tried to get away with it. Then that person's fan club wrote a bunch of nonsense to distract, deflect and cloud their malfeasance. Attribution may not be a conce
