I've come to terms that people are gonna people and trade in anything that can be traded. Especially if there's some scarcity involved. The Million Dollar Homepage is still up. Coincidentally, I just clicked on one of the banners

Can you elaborate on the MIT usage? How can you ensure (say, legally) that people using the system for fun can use the MIT version, while people charging for the product must use the commercial one? I mean, the MIT license explicitly allows

Thanks for the tip! I know that some of the guys have tried some of the fixes that can be found online with limited success, I'll forward this to them! It's a real pity though! Were it not for the freeze issue the laptops would be

I similarly use a Dell Latitude from 2012. After upgrading to 16GB RAM I don't have any issues with it whatsoever. At work for new devs we bought ThinkPads with Ryzen. These are in general fine, except that multiple people have this we

I for one enjoy the plurality of opinions! I much rather live in a society where people argue and don't agree on things, than in a society where there is one 'correct' opinion on everything. Even if I'm on a particular b

It's pretty hilarious how a good part of the comment section here is some variation of what the article starts out with: Person A: "Programming language X is bad, code written in it is unreadable and horrible." Person B: &quo

Why would you want to increase the count though, right? I appreciate that HN is a kind of a community where people post when they actually have something to say. I mean, I often write a comment and then delete it before posting it if I figu

I've heard that we've basically dug up all the easily accessible ores needed to jump-start a civilization, and all that's left now is something you need high-tech to access. So, there may not be another chance at an advanced

Your points are much more meaningful than what's expressed in the article. Regarding unsafe though. In other non-GC languages (C/C++, say) there's no keyword for `unsafe` as that is the default state. And that's fine. Pe

TLDR: - I see 'unsafe' everywhere; - Async is problematic, colored functions! - Community is nice, but it won't be forever, RIIR people are annoying; Conclusion: I prefer GCed languages with default async runtimes.

Yeah, for me Quora really went downhill as well. I was a regular reader, also a contributor for things I knew about. Even went to a local meetup once. At some point I realized that my feed just features opinions from Quora celebrities who a

So, let's say I pay you 200 ETH and get an NFT signifying ownership of a flat in downtown Kinshasa. I fly to Kinshasa, find the key as you have described, start living in the flat. A year later as I come home I find that the key has be

Also, it's important to realize the core reason why people trust the government with these things. It's because the government has the ability to actually _enforce_ the contracts if required. I mean, having a deed of owning some p

I wonder how much and for what Rust is being used at Bytedance, given that this seems to be under their GitHub org. It's pretty interesting that they are apparently using it. Edit: For those wondering who Bytedance are, I can save you

Many people upvote things not necessarily because they agree with them, but rather to bump it in hopes that someone with good insights will chime in in the comments section. This especially applies to potentially controversial things.

The only common sense bit about stairs is that they were likely made to ascend to places and descend from them. Everything else is conjecture. It'd be the same if people were dead convinced that doors were made to open a certain way to

Well, no, it's not obvious at all. It's a neat conjecture that may be true in some cases and false in others. I mean, for all we know there may be castles where staircases spiral a certain way because of some beliefs about the dev
