Uh, indeed one would likely use the word "космонавт" talking about soviet astronauts, and one could claim that "astronaut" is somehow NASA-related since USA was the second country that had astronauts, but the word "

I'm struggling to decide if I should say I care less about what Bezos & Branson do, or about what is "US definition of astronauts", or if I should point out that your comment is countering its purpose of "giving less

This is absolutely not an alternative, not even close. AWS is exactly that: Amazon Web Services. Do you need to host your stuff somewhere else one day? Good luck re-inventing everything from scratch. I am sort of k8s hater myself, because

Blockchain was the first thing I thought about, because that sounds like an poster-child case of actually useful blockchain. But thinking again, I'm not sure, wouldn't it be rather expensive to run on a blockchain? Either you use

I have no clue about all these copyright litigations and most make no sense to me anyway, but when you put it that way, yeah, that sounds like a weak claim. Again, no idea if a court would see it that way, but if you take it a step further

Given how bashing on MTProto is a favourite cryptographers' activity from the day-0, I'm actually kinda encouraged by the fact that's all they found. It's especially nice, that htey could fix all of them without breaking

Yeah, I remember that podcast, and I remember thinking that it sounds like it should be , but will it be so? Since then a little has happened to calm my doubts. Like, it wasn't Twitter that got bullied by Trump back when he was USA pr

Wow. To think of it, nothing in this HN thread, including your link, is truly new and unexpected, but in this context it felt somehow more dystopian than ever. Talking about machines pretending to be humans doing stupid stuff, getting autom

Yeah, but generating tons of stupid verbose code that nobody will be able to read and understand is more fun. Also, your superiors will be sure you are a valuable worker if you write more code.

Lol, how does that make any sense? I mean, all these word blacklists are always pretty stupid, but at least you can usually see the motivation behind them. But in this case I'm not even sure what they tried to achieve, this is absolu

I'm not sure the answer to that could be generalized, probably depends on the company and HRs in question. I, for one, had a very difficult time explaining to HRs that I don't care if a candidate had any experience with PHP whatso

Please somebody explain why it's downvoted. Ignoring digression about XRP, this is exactly what I read from the parent comment. Judging by the user-story above, all this talk about how BTC is being "sent" (which, as we all kn

It seemed like an answer at first, but actually this answers absolutely nothing and I'm not even sure how it's related to the topic being discussed: * This guy starts talking about sending USD, but ends up talking about receiving

This is interesting. Obviously, I heard about the whole "El Salvador something something Bitcoin" deal, but am completely unaware of the actual situation. Can somebody point me in the direction of some nice writeup explaining th

It's funny, but I find your example way more illustrative and deserving to be shared on HN, than the original post. Honestly, I don't find microbenchmarks that compelling, because there are too many caveats to take them seriously

That might be a problem with your tooling, but most likely not. I know how to do that in Linux (XCompose) and I've heard there are similar tools in both Windows and MacOS as well. So more likely just a problem of not being aware&#x2F

I wish non-Julia community would adopt this practice, because unicode symbols exist for a reason, and using proper symbols instead of making look every language like Perl with unix-style abbreviations that look bogus to pretty much everyone

No. There's no reason for it to be symmetric, there can be unlimited number of your closest neighbour's closest neighbours, that are closer to him than you are. I mean, it's literally measuring distance between dots in the n-

Did he? I don't think he forgot anything: hot tubs are "intrinsic virality". And your comment is a proof.

I'm usually suspicious about vague generic advices like that, and I absolutely despise Twitch, but this compilation is pretty gold, IMO. Thanks, I think I'm actually going to write that down.

Yeah, I did find that gimmicky too. But if you click on that screenshot, it leads to a webpage typed completely in that font, so you can properly admire that. Anyway, I'm genuinely surprised some people here don't treat that as a

It still amazes me. I ask it to write something, and when it does, I just want to ask it "dude, wtf?" Seriously, it's better than what shitposters on 4chan write. It's pure genius: I was watching a climbing competition.

I don't agree with the punchline. This is a nice thing to flex, and I don't have anything bad to say about buying military/professional/etc stuff when you actually need, but taken literally this is just straight-up a ter

This looks extremely useful, even though currently makes quite a few mistakes, as noted by others. A few features that could be nice: 1) It handles 1 000 000 * 3 just fine, but returns 3000000. So it would be nice if it would format output

Somewhat offtop, but I wanted to ask: how much universal intelligibility there is in sign languages? I understand that sign languages are, well, languages , and thus not readily inter-intelligible. But so are, perhaps, our native languages

True. I'm kind of surprised (again) by Daniel after 20 years of maintaining curl being so salty about "people not appreciating the achievement". Yes, for overwhelming majority of users curl in 2021 is just a simple http/

Cool, but as someone who does mainly backend and only rarely tries to do some FE myself (because, come on, you are supposed to be at least somewhat full-stack!), I feel like what I actually missed over the last 10 years is the current con

This is absolutely fantastic. I didn't expect much, but this is really, really awesome. Thank you. P.S. Obvious feature seems to be missing: it would be great if one could name columns manually (instead of col1, col2, etc) when import

Yeah... I didn't want to admit that for a really long time, but Rust isn't really a huge success. You can obfuscate the code in most (all?) of the languages, but the fact that all of these things are even possible, definitely isn&
