Cool article. This language looks really interesting. The only problem though is, how do I use it? The majority of the programming I do in my daily life revolves around performing actions in a database based upon the contents of HTTP reques

I picked the most sensationalist propaganda on account for rhetorical purposes. I imagine I could find much more modern, subtle and pertinent examples of propaganda from the Vietnam war era if I spent enough time looking.

Are you suggesting that I start blindly taking the mainstream media's reporting about war at good faith? Aren't there enough historic examples of how the American media establishment have been used to further American foreign poli

I feel a very satisfactory kind of schadenfreude at the idea of you filing this HIPAA complaint.

I've worked extensively with employees from these Indian labor companies throughout my career as a software-engineer. Many of my positions have implicitly been just to ensure that these developers can't do too much damage. For a l

I had always wondered what the avionics in the early F-111 looked like. Thanks for documenting this!

This is hardly news. Without an actual report to refer to, one can't help but wonder if this article is part of some kind of narrative building exercise. A few years ago the TV-watching public was introduced to this concept with all of

The United Kingdom is nothing if not a surveillance state, and their crime clearance rates are lower than ever. They seem to have a different set of priorities for their state surveillance apparatus.

When people hear the word 'propaganda' often what springs to mind are relics of the cold war: gritty soviet posters; or GI Joe. This is what the propaganda of the 21st century looks like, however.

What if someone hired even more private security, and just tore the whole thing down? What if they shook everyone down, took everything and bailed? Is this a 'perfectly anarchist response' ?

Real-world hunter-gatherer societies hardly match the idyllic anarchistic fantasy projected onto them. They tend to be superstitious, and patriarchal. With explicit, arbitrary hierarchies enforced by physical violence, or deprivation. When

I don't think ignore the haters is sage advice in this context. What was directed at this project in the original HN thread was not hate , it was criticism . These are very different things. People were not abusing the author. Some

I don't see any reason to believe a word of this post. It's designed to pander to stereotypes, and people's preconceived notions of cybercrime. They say they dropped out of an Ivy league college, however their posts have some

I think he's pointing out the relative difficulty of hardware positions compared with being a 'software engineer' in FAANG.

I'll never understand this. It's my opinion that you need to be much smarter to be an electrical engineer than a computer scientist, which again requires much more intellectual rigor than being a 'software engineer'. The

In the past I've been tempted to leave reviews for bad employers I've had. I've always come to the conclusion that the risks of doing so totally outweigh the completely minimal rewards. The risk of being deanonymised, and rec

Asking as a layman to macroeconomics, if you think that the current rash of crypto companies collapsing heralds a greater economic catastrophe, do you have any advice on how to best survive another dot-com style crash?

The nav circles are a bit misleading. I'm clicking on them, and nothing happens. Otherwise, the design is very nice!

Maybe this relates to how the west seems to consider the highest form of self-actualization to be triumph over adversity. It makes up the core narrative structures of western literature. It defines the core story arc show on television. I w

My impression was always that the term connoted one who was wearing an ass as a hat, i.e. has their "head up their/an(?) ass". Which as many would already know is an English idiom connoting someone of poor manners.

Although this might be a bit too conspiratorial for the tastes of many. I suspect that this is an act in a larger piece of political theatre. Someone showed me this: https://who.is/whois/jewishrallyforabortionjustice.or

My sincere, however unlikely hope is that the division regarding Musk's acquisition causes enough users to leave to cripple the platform. I don't think there will be another Twitter if this one fails. I can't foresee any s

No. France did nothing when thousands of people celebrated Notre Dame burning. Throughout the Trump presidency making threats against the president was pretty much the bread and butter of Twitter.
