If there is a pressure to have Israel de-escalate, this must be it. Zero accountability, forever. This is as grim as it gets.

Some choices in software shouldn't just be delivered in hopes everyone agrees with them, and even if they do, that they'll adopt as you envisaged - design decisions like this need to be shared so people have a chance of understand

Checks out for my old man, but then again his disease's progression has been so wildly aggressive - at 64 his stage of the disease is more akin to what I'd always imagined for an 84-year-old - I suspect it's not even PD

I rented an Airbnb in downtown Lisbon some years ago (2016 perhaps?), and was actually welcomed by the owning company's MD who told me they'd purchased _75_ apartments in and around Bairro Alto in the year leading up to my stay. T

I was recently diagnosed with ADD, and learning that about myself explained a behavior of mine which seems diametrically opposed to yours - the pressure of a deadline makes me panic, and somehow my outlet is bikeshedding. Give me daily and

Manufacturing Consent defines anti-communism as the US's national religion and a pillar of political power...

Well... American governments are totally beholden to their companies ;)

I find it hard to believe that HN is truly pro-union when the top comment here seems to miss the point entirely, suggesting that “decent salaries” make unions unnecessary. The reality is that workers are individuals who have to fend for the

Agree, although that expectation is a result of manufactured consent entirely consistent with imperialist logic - downplay the major factors (because you are their instigator) then blame the victim for their predicament.

The word primarily is important in my comment; snitching on CPGB members and fellow travellers to the government does very much make you an anti-communist.

In fact, his wider body of work ends up prefiguring a politics that's primarily anti-communist, not leftist.

Turns out the sheer amount of hardware in the Neo Geo and cartridges does kinda explain the price of everything around it! (Too bad about the game library...)

To be clear, I 100% agree regulation and more commonsensical legislation is fundamental to stop and punish bad players like Elsevier. I just find it gross that consolidated players invariably go their way.

What makes you believe anything would work? Things take people wanting them.

by ngcazz 2y ago
So is your point that companies are put in a position where they _have_ to take advantage of government's use of force? Elsevier could well come up with a business model that isn't purely based on extraction, rent-seeking and lega

Thanks for addressing it and your availability. Keen to look into how Neosync might fit my team's dev needs very soon.

Hey, this looks quite cool! Just spotted this link on your site's frontpage is 404ing https://www.neosync.dev/solutions/keep-environments-in-sync (was quite keen to read this one specifically)

Input and rendering latency are much better in Alacritty than iTerm. If you spend a lot of time editing large files in Vim it's certainly noticeable.

by ngcazz 2y ago
This might be conceptually easy to grasp, but it does sound hard to implement.

by ngcazz 2y ago
I don't know if it's gotten better in the meantime but if you edit text in the terminal, Kitty and Alacritty are much quicker emulators than iTerm.

I have always been unconvinced of the value of doing Java-style abstract classes to assert a certain API in Ruby considering it's duck-typed. Raising an error when at runtime you call a nonexistent method is native Ruby behavior, so wh

There is no material proof that Hamas has put bases in any hospital, and if you think human shields are fair game, then that speaks to your willingness to dehumanize Palestinians.

Nowhere IMO, just appealing to OP's better sense given that Argentina has been trying for decades the same monetary policy to fix the issues it created!

On the other hand, we all know what Chicago Boy orthodoxy has wrought in Chile with Pinochet, or in southern European countries in the wake of the forced IMF/ECB bailouts.

"The people are worse off, but the country is much better!" You call that being opinionated, and yet you're okay (fascinated even) with an economy policy that brutalizes and starves in the short term? In a country like Argent

Love point-free. It's definitely a muscle you need to keep in shape, and although it's definitely not for everybody, if you design your API with this in mind it can be a lot of fun to program in this style. I think TidalCycles is

These are not programming languages per se, but give VDM-SL or Alloy Analyzer a look. I know that particularly in the latter, anything can be joined or composed against anything since all values are relations.
