This isn't a programming language type safety mechanism, it's a way to tell the browser to enforce that you can't run code that could potentially be vulnerable to XSS, except in specific places that you designate with policie

I think the answer isn't that Denmark is hanging on to its colonialism, but rather that we've gotten over it more so than most other countries, and feel remorse. I think we feel an obligation to the native Inuit people - we smashe

I mean, C++ programmers are exactly the correct audience for a language like this - there are many other options for memory safety if you can live with a garbage collector[1]. But writing safe C++ is much, much, much more complex than than

Yeah, it seems to me the ideal version still has TouchId but not the rest of the touch bar (Like modern Macbook Air). Combine that with scissor switch keys, and then I'll be happy to upgrade

To be fair, pretty much all articles about literally any subject on social and main stream media fail to state key assumptions/sources - don't see why you'd think this topic is special in that regard. If we're going to d

I feel like the Apple we've seen since Jobs died is exactly what I would have expected if someone let the designers run the show without a strong product manager to reign them in: Gorgeous and mostly user-friendly products, but slightl

I did, and the first three search results were bbbcycling.com, bigballerbrand.com and a local football club. I think people don't realize how much Google actually localizes search results.

'Markets' was a poor choice for the right hand side, as they are in fact bottom up. 'Naturally occurring structures are fractal, but human abstractions about them are square' would be much closer to the point, though not

I hope this will be one of those games that manages to do one thing better than anyone has before: Volumetric cloud rendering. Kinda like how Sea of Thieves has really pushed the envelope when it comes to ocean and wave rendering.

I actually had an idea for a sort of opposite slackbot: It would sit in all channels and keep track of the messages sent by each person. Then it could calculate how many man hours each person's messages had caused others to spend readi

Of course the HN crowd is willing and able to grasp the long-term consequences of super-centralization. But we also recognize that for the vast majority of the population, some of the benefits that a centralized solution provides - such as

I just hope we do it sooner, using regulation and taxation, rather than later using pitchforks. But if the superrich keep successfully distracting the populace with bigotry and other sideshows, we might miss that exit.

I tried Firefox again right when quantum landed, but at the time there was a significant delay in opening/rendering pages compared to Chrome - as in 4-5 seconds to open Reddit compared to 1-2 seconds on Chrome (this was in macOS on a 2

Note that OP writes that they are from a third world country. That means we don't know which jurisdiction applies, but it's not US or anywhere in Europe. So IP and labor laws may be very different from what we would consider norma

My favorite tool/trick against procrastination is pomodoro technique: Work 25 minutes continuously with no interruptions, then take 5 minutes to relax/do other things, e.g. answer texts - then rinse and repeat. Do this 6-8 times a

There is a relatively small group of companies/people who know better, but would lose billions if this problem is addressed, they have an army of lobbyists and media companies to push the hoax/not-our-problem-narrative, and finall

Yeah, comparing with Americans seems designed to overstate the effect. If you instead compared with e.g. some European country where the obesity rate is much lower, it would yield a better idea how the two diets compare if the caloric intak

The investors (Sequoia being the big one) will want to cash out at some point, and then it's either an IPO or an exit. The most likely buyers in an exit-scenario would be platform owners like Apple, Google or Microsoft, which would be
