I don’t get the leap from hacking digital systems (which I think is a fair prediction, even if the success rate might be low) to hacking society. What is that even supposed to mean and entail? AI can spam X and Insta, sure, but what else?

I highly recommend getting a big freezer if you can, it saves so many shopping trips for fresh vegetables, and the frozen ones are basically just as good. Pre-cut onions, herbs, cooked rice etc - can be prepped well, and only need heating u

One thing I often do is put canned legumes and frozen veggies in my instant pot‘s steaming basket and pressure cook for 2 minutes (takes ca 15 minutes including warmup time). This is then the base for a custom bowl, maybe adding things like

Every one of your sentences is an assertion presented as fact. That could also be considered adversarial. GP has replied in a constructive manner in the meantime btw. And yeah, no googling involved. I often look in HN profiles to find more

Seeing you‘re a CTO, I‘m a bit concerned for your staff (if any) if your first reflex is blaming the developer for not trusting their boss.

For context, the post is really by the author who brought us this law. There aren’t any question marks in the title though, so the law can’t be applied.

I think a lot of that comes down to taking care of one’s own health, the whole life long. Maybe a bit zany comparison, but: That 60’s old timer car that’s still in good shape and can drive - it’s seen a lot of care and likely no accidents (

I think some clients (like the server) must be able to sync with very old schemas because the user might have forgotten their phone in a drawer for two years. Each client just migrates itself asap.

Food isn’t all about macros, you need to get your micronutrients (minerals etc), which heavy processing partially removes. There’s also the rabbit hole of soil quality, where a plant can only contain the nutrients its soil has offered (copp

Funnily I saw this just yesterday: „Dihydromyricetin ameliorates memory impairment induced by acute sleep deprivation“ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30876981/ Nootropics Depot now retails this (not affiliated).

I agree with the author that working on files is preferable, if possible. But SaaS often also solve the hard problem of dissemination, and good luck syncing an excel file with 100 people via Dropbox.

One could overload the * infix operator to support this type of multiplication. It just doesn’t come with the standard library.

Does this improve when declaring all variables with explicit types before using them in expressions?

Great writeup, and I love that the authors looked at a lot of other languages. The solution section on how to prevent races is a bit light still - I‘m curious how they will solve this. I think there will need to be exceptions to a strict ra

As someone dealing with Swift everyday (and, before that, faster langs like Elixir and Typescript), I can only agree. Sometimes my incremental builds take 20-30 seconds and it feels like a huge toll. Waiting on the CI (which is a weak machi

Isn’t “data-race free” in Dart achieved by just not really sharing mutable memory between isolates? Probably because the web version needs to map isolates to web workers, right?
