This definitely leads me to believe that you don't have much experience with modern web frameworks. The meaning of "component" in modern web development is pretty consistent. You can think of a component as a custom HTML elem

There's another very good reason to make a claim of "self evidence" besides not having any good arguments, which is if the proposition actually is self-evident to the target audience, and you want to focus on something else

Replying to sibling comment: It's only overkill if you know in advance you only need one specific kind of input file format. If you need to process many (or arbitrary) image formats with excellent compatibility, then ImageMagick is a g

So you think Nintendo, Xbox, Playstation, etc. should also have to allow third-party stores on their devices? EDIT: Or do you think you should be able to buy iOS apps in brick-and-mortar stores?

The big disagreement is whether the market should be defined as "iOS apps" or whether the market should be defined as just "smartphone apps" or "smartphones, which have apps." Does Apple have monopoly power ove

I’m not saying there aren’t good reasons to ban it, I’m just saying that’s not why Trump is doing it.

The real reason behind this is that TikTok teens ruined his Tulsa rally and now he wants to get back at them. Simple as that.

I tried to find some evidence to back up your assertion that macOS is losing market share, but failed. Everything I can see shows that macOS is either holding steady or slightly gaining market share.

100% this. Maybe not everyone knows the specific function you’re looking for, but for the ones that know standard library APIs really well, that’s your hire.

I may have been a little too harsh. Binary search is close to being a good interview question, especially since the algorithm does, rarely, come up in real code. But I prefer questions that are more like what people will be doing in their

I interview tons of candidates at a FAANG company, and I can tell you for sure binary search is way too hard to get right on a whiteboard. Even in a proper coding environment I wouldn't ask it. There are lots of better questions with f

Next step is to prove the ML-produced algorithm is correct. I can see a world where we generate algorithms and then automatically prove they're correct based on a formal description of the problem being solved.

False. If we used only meaningless symbols like “A”, “B”, etc. for names, then it would be true. But if I have a method named “addItemToCart”, then I know what it ought to do. If it does NOT in fact add the item to the cart, then I’ve fou

In this thread, you have asserted: * Large profits don't make Google a monopoly * Large profits don't make Google evil However, no one in this thread asserted otherwise. On the other hand, above you assert that large profits alone

> Let’s force Google to be like every other company in needing to constantly extract money from every project quarter by quarter. I think you're actually making the argument for breaking up Google. Their search monopoly is so powerf

I don't understand why folks are doubting the possible performance gains here. The latest iPads are already faster than the vast majority of PC laptops, including almost all MacBooks in single-core performance. And that's with the

That’s not at all what “cynical” means. From Merriam-Webster: “contemptuously distrustful of human nature and motives.” I intended exactly that meaning. Not “being overly negative.” And your response solidifies my diagnosis. Do you permit n

This is a pretty cynical take. I think most (not all, but most) news organizations are trying to produce ethical, truthful news free of bias and conflicts of interest.

I'm not an evolutionary biologist, but why wouldn't the selection pressure be related to the speed at which offspring are produced, and not the age of the parent? And why wouldn't a parent that lives a long time and thus prod

The question was, "is it possible to have something resembling a human immune system without a full body?" The answer is no, for somewhat obvious reasons. The human immune system involves many organs and tissues and cells working

I know you prefaced your ignorant question with "Ignorant question:", and I don't think it's wrong to ask questions of experts on HN. (That's one of the best things about this site!) However, I'm downvoting you

That’s why we believe that the bar to stifling or ignoring academics who are willing to debate their alternative positions in public and in good faith must be very high. But the "good faith" part is precisely the problem. Though

So the - is working, contrary to the claims of several people here. I wouldn't say so. For the five images at the top of my search results, 3 of the 5 are striped, and 1 is plaid.

Uh, why the hell would we listen to a chemist’s opinion about a pandemic? There is literally a whole field of science that studies this, and it’s not remotely similar to chemistry.

Just realized I understated this. It's actually possible for 64.6% of infections to only incubate for 1 day and get a mean of 5.6 days, if the other 35.4% of infections incubate for 14 days (i.e. an extremely bimodal distribution at 1

Note that this says nothing about the Dead Sea Scrolls in general, which are absolutely real, and mostly in the custody of the State of Israel: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Sea_Scrolls
