I did look at the whole thing and assumed that they meant that doing those things added up to stopping it. However I can see your point of view as well.

CGI was a wonderful paradigm for when I was first learning web development, a few years after this. A shell account somewhere, some scripts that just had to deal with stdin and stdout, and you could create amazing web experiences. Previousl

This just seems like Google marketing rather than an interesting initiative. I took a look at the digital marketing module, which is relevant for me, and it seems to just be lessons on how to use Google’s own paid advertising features. Not

They don’t have to, but it seems to be their stated goal.

I once loved Perl, it was the first language I learned, but reading through the comments and link I don’t see how you turn it into a modern, well loved and well used language (or even stop the decline) through small improvements but no gran

It’s from getting caught out when they’ve hidden the setting that is causing your site to be down in the name of making things easier. I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, but that’s where it comes from.

Can a smoking gun really be circumstantial?

Wouldn’t they sell quite a lot more if they were being used?

These statements like we “ experienced an issue during routine and scheduled maintenance work, which affected access to some files for some staff” really are an art form unto themselves.

Some of them even turn into contributors, eventually.

They still publish pay phone photos in the back, I’ve managed to get several in there over the years.

I’m an older hacker, and it was kind of the same back then too. We called them script kiddies.

I’m a bit late here, but I’m building AsyncGo ( https://asyncgo.com ) to be an async communication tool, replacing (Zoom) meetings and Slack for situations where collaboration doesn’t have to be real-time, which is quite a lot of

Not so bad for whom? The article says that this happening would put coastal cities under 20 feet of water: > Since some twenty feet of sea-level rise is tied up in Greenland's ice, every coastal city in the world is at risk.

They don’t make it very easy to do so - my understanding is that’s essentially what Barrier is (making it easy to use the open source parts of Synergy).

What’s the best RSS reader service these days? I was a big user of Google Reader but never found something I liked after, that I could access from all my devices. It’s been a few years since I last asked, though.

I don’t think it’s actually correct that all GMs were child prodigies.

I promise to moderate my shock as a function of time spent at the top.

I didn’t really read it as snark. It has historically been pretty shocking here to find a top comment so confidently wrong and just seemingly totally made up (farmers going bankrupt just like the Great Depression.. because food prices are g

Couldn’t the thieves just make a new NFT blockchain that says they own whatever they like and skip the messy steps in the middle? You’d end up at the same end state where the museum has a painting and the thieves have a certificate that say

How would you prove to a blockchain that a particular serial number really is owned by you, or was lost, or all the other things that can happen that don’t occur on the blockchain? Aren’t you sort of back to needing the cooperation of lots

Can’t the subject of NFTs also be trivially copied? All you really have is a token that refers to a particular file and proves that you own a token that refers to that file. Everyone else is free to ignore the token and copy the original fi

Tasting History is great, amiable guy who posts videos of cooking ancient and very old recipes, and talks about the history of each.

Usually HN is much more collaborative but you seem to have taken a combative approach to interacting with everyone, and I'd assume thats why you are finding yourself in a situation where you are arguing with everyone when that isn&#x27

Wow what a reply. Sorry I asked but good to know after all it didn't have anything to do with the original topic.

I've sort of lost track of the point of these different subthreads, you seem to be taking on everyone individually to debate various semantic elements, but how does all this debate about sunburns, nuclear energy, and everything else in

Nuclear power becoming common is a choice though, it's not that we don't know how. Isn't in that sense it's already available if needed, so we've already reached the tipping point where this line of reasoning is no
