This comes up from time to time on HN. Humans aren't machines. As self-important and busy as you think you are, why not take a beat and respond with 'Hey' and ask them how they are. Humans are more than just social creatures

That is correct. I grew up under apartheid. This phrase is key: “ Proponents say the law helps ensure Israel's security and maintains its "Jewish character".” Consider if the US passed a law banning Mexican spouses from uniti

I don’t think you can entirely separate the accountability of a government from the accountability of its people. Take Apartheid South Africa for example: Tremendous external pressure was applied on South Africa which affected its people. I

I’d say this signals intent, but reeks of incompetence, a lack of preparation, a lack of capability, and desperation. I’d say overall this is a good sign. They aren’t able to effectively engage in mass surveillance and round up dissidents e

Physics is still the law. As long as your aperture is small, so is the usable amount of light you’re collecting at the top of that lens funnel.

I prefer the source which I think is a clearer explanation. The key is that perl’s x operator turns the number into a string of 1s that is the length of the number. The rest is a hack to use regex to perform division using minimal capturing

This is a natural step in business growth: realizing that recurring revenue is recurring, and then productizing formerly bespoke work to benefit from economies of scale. It is when a contractor becomes a business.
