Oh my god, so much fun. I got a 36. I wonder if I could go as high as 50. Thanks for making this! Very funny how you link to Detexify. That site has been around for a long time and it's a fundamental resource. I think it's still j

Not that it makes too much of a difference, but GNU has no love for Android either. They certainly aren't saying anything nice about macOS just because its kernel is also free.

I fear the inflammatory headline is going to put most people on the defensive instead of listening to the very valid points that most of these lists are.

Oh, the GC. I don't understand why everyone seems so hung up on that. I've never noticed it at all. Maybe I just write code where the GC doesn't matter. I mean, I do use the GC, it's just that it's never been someth

xfig also has one of the few implementations of x-splines (x means "cross" here, like "pedestrian xing", unrelated to the X window system). I find x-splines very nice and intuitive. Here's a little x-spline implemen

No, it's not that, it's really so that Twitter won't shut them down. Maybe being "honest" is some side-effect, but they wouldn't be doing it if Twitter didn't have a history of deleting Russian troll accou

According to this article, they're actual warehouse employees who tweet one day and work on the warehouse three other days: https://techcrunch.com/2018/08/23/what-is-this-weird-twitter...

Oh, wow, "FC" means "fulfillment centre". Doesn't that sound a lot like... an enrichment centre? Certainly sounds nicer than "warehouse".

Twitter will shut out deceptive bots, so they have to say that they're paid shills in their account name.

HN users are typically the ones choosing to flag stories. I imagine the usual reason stories like this are flagged are because they attract a lot of discussion in bad faith.

But also, generic information, as the expert reviewing the post remarked. On the other hand, the apparent correct use of jargon does seem to indicate that the poster could be an EMT themselves.

Not sure if you're aware, but we all "have" a 4chan account. Meaning, you don't need an account to post there. It's kind of the point of chan-like boards.

How was Flame able to demonstrate that they heard the song before? Remember that independent discovery is a valid defense a against a copyright infringement claim. Katy Perry's legal defense was that nobody had ever heard Flame's

It's fine, we can get rid of the bad. It's not impossible to tell good and bad apart, so we don't need to keep the bad if we also want the good. The slopes are not that slippery. Germany isn't a dystopian hell-hole becau

Do we know the constant is irrational? I'd be surprised if we did.

Global warming was first becoming convincing in the 1960s, when the world's population was well under 4.0e9, but industrialised nations were enjoying post-WW2 economic prosperity.

I would like to know that too, because currently all sources on the Ecosia Wikipedia page are either self-published or primary, so the article reads like an ad. If this really is working and we can all truly combat deforestation and global

This really feels like greenwashing to me. The purpose of ads is (1) to make you buy something you didn't need before the ad made you aware of it, or (2) to make you choose the advertised brand amongst competing brands when you buy a p

I don't know about CLAs, but the way the FSF asks for copyright assignment isn't as careless as Eric makes it out to be. The FSF does require a statement from your employer that you're able to do the copyright assignment. I k

I wonder if this will give a boost to a new Peertube instance dedicated to infosec content. Seems like this should be right up infosec's people alley. Peertube uses web torrenting to distribute videos, so it should be possible to host
