The OP link is blogspam wrapping around reporting from the excellent 404 Media, who just recently struck out on their own as a publication and deserve attention and support: https://www.404media.co/inside-ices-database-derog

There are a lot of kind of questionable/obscure skills in tiers 2-4, but I think that's fine actually. It's not a software development skill assessment; it purports to be only about "python expertise." There are def

That's funny to me because I just [realized that I actually do this a lot]( https://signmaker.dev/personal-scripts ) in my personal files.

I'm sorry that your gut disagrees with the ethical conclusion that most people, including nearly every musician I have talked to, have arrived at - I know that is a crappy feeling to have - but here we are.

70%/30% doesn't sound bad, if true; that's comparable to what Bandcamp was acclaimed for their fairness in paying their artists, if I recall correclty. I wonder what the "trick" is (if any), because I have to doubt

I think a lot of people intuitively understand that there's a difference between pirating the works of JRR Tolkein, him being wildly successful and not alive anymore, and doing the same to an up-and-coming author who's eating rame

Unfortunately corrupt cops aren't limited to just one legal fig leaf for collecting payments, or even to operating inside the bounds of the law at all. Even this specific article discusses four or five different towns with varying flav

This is horrible. Some shitty business should not be permitted to change the night sky.

What are changeset comments? Like the git log?

Naively, because it might help more pro-social and FOSS software get made?

Hmm, that landing page and the screenshots within are unbelievably slick looking. I'll download it and give it a try.

Yeah, the "oh well, it's evaporated already, so no getting it back without spending even more energy" tack of the post that you're responding to to is insane. That's not how water cooling works!

If you think it looks so easy, I urge you to start writing it! It's one of my favorite genres of fiction and I think that effective horror can be harder to write than it might seem.

I don't think that saying "it's crazy" is even specific enough to be called an exaggeration, nor is it untrue. It doesn't take that many force multipliers to make your experience during these floods absolutely wild

The article is just a thin wrapper of blogspam around an investigation by The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/19/do-carbo... which I think is high quality.

Yes edit: I was trying to jokingly reply "Yes {smiling-imp-emoji}" when I realized I've never seen an emoji on Hacker News before - looks like they get automatically removed!

Costing under $100 and needing to be charged no more than every two weeks is an absolute killer app[liance?] for me. I have enough random crap needing constant charging or awaiting expensive replacement. So that's why my watch is a Tim

Does it actually require registration? You made this comment 29 minutes ago, and I'm listening to it without registering right now. (The "Sign up" button is front and center, but you can scroll past it and still see what&#x27
