I'll have to rewatch it. Not that I would mind :)

Did we see a different version of the episode? In Nosedive your score is decided by people, not by AI. There's no hint of AI in the whole episode.

Not really. Sure, it's dystopian and futuristic, but that's not enough to make it cyberpunk. Usually cyberpunk is seen from the point of view of the lowest part of society (the "low life" in the "high tech - low li

FYI "pizza" has nothing to do with the city of Pisa. Actually it likely comes from the latin verb "pansere", meaning "to press".

To be fair, in this case the original comment is linked to, so one just needs to click the link to have a text version of the screenshot.

Sometimes I do read the comments without reading the op, but then I won't comment, unless it's something unrelated (like this very comment, for example, even thought in this case I did read the OP). But yes, there's plenty of

Honest question: how do people with less money vote, then?

Doing something nice for other developers, I guess. Unless you mean "what guarantees do I have that if I integrate this in my workflow it won't be gone tomorrow?". In which case, I agree.

I didn't downvote, but I think people disliked your use of the word "religious", as it's sort of a discussion-stopper. To answer your point, the difference is that most people confuse the terms, which have a very differe

Hey, thanks for the opportunity :) Suppose I was writing systems software. Considering I know neither, why would I invest time learning D instead of C++? Does D offer anything in that regard?

Sounds just like a collective rainy-day fund to afford losing your wage during a strike.

That's where "stable" distributions (like, e.g., Debian stable) come into play. You only get updates for security-related stuff (and, IIRC, stuff-breaking bugs), which seldom break things.

You sent me searching for what a Toshiba ML-2274. I was expecting it was some kind of deep packet inspecting firewall. Still not disappointed by what I found, and since that joke is not common around where I live, I plan to use it next year

Right. Also, I still haven't found an explanation of continuation that told me why I should use them or even with a practical example showing me more than incrementing a number at every call. Is my Google-fu failing me? Does anyone h

There was a piece of news lately about a gaming company tracking users and exfiltrating data about their web use to catch pirates. I'm afraid I don't have a link handy.

I love it when articles about music spill on HN. Especially this one is a fantastic mix of music, historical investigation, engineering and art.

I'm under the impression that pulling extensions on RSS will land us in the XMPP situation, where you have servers and clients speaking different languages. On the other hand, if you want to say that your client supports this supposed

You should also check out puredata. It allows you to code both sequencers and syhths visually instead of writing code. You can then embed it in your program.

+1 for milkytracker. I'm too young to have experienced the MOD scene firsthand, but I discovered it while investigating the demoscene. Some of the music I found was just spectacular, both because of the technical limitations of the tim

It's interesting that the passage you quoted is not itself sourced in the link you gave. I tried looking for that same passage on Google and came out empty handed (except for the site you linked to). Do you have a first-party source fo

I usually just reload the page a couple of times and tweets are put in chronological order again. Does this work only because I follow <100 people?

I have trouble understanding how not calling it a phone changes what the article is speaking about. Can you please help me understand your point?

I sometime upvote things as a sort of "read it later" technique. I've seen other users do this, so maybe that's what happened?

I didn't want to imply anything, but I too thought that was the point. Also, seeing the overall good treatment the US reserve for Israel I'm always surprised when someone implies that Israel wants to damage the US.

If it comes from Latin (as it seems to be) the stress is on the A and you should pronounce it something like ah-qui-lah (with the "qui" sounding something like "quick"). But I'll wait for the author to correct me :)
