This could be a good alternative for SETI or that protein folding project but if it somehow turns into a plague of attempts to shift the computing requirements of running the backend onto the users, our content blocking lists will have to g

With 1.5 billion people you could find some who disagree with literally anything you could say about the situation in their country or about the world in general, I'm talking about the general sentiment.

The Chinese don't care about "dictatorship". Their lives are largely unaffected. Sure, sometimes a political rant gets deleted from the Internet, but it has little bearing on actual daily life. They openly mock western libera

They laugh about. See they at least know they live in an oppressive regime with heavy political censorship, while people in the West, such as Americans, live under similar conditions, but are deluded into thinking they're free.

No Windows support is more of a feature than a downside.

Yeah man, drinking coffee is totally the same as doing drugs. If only the rest of the society could see that.

Here's my wild prediction for the 21st century: before 2050, China will replace its one child policy with a "you have to be at least this tall to ride" policy - only people with a genetic "score" of X or higher are

While marijuana is a dangerous drug that ought to be illegal, this has all signs of a moral panic.

Mentioning the "free market" in any other context than a joke will make most people not take your post seriously.

Completely ordinary description of a perfectly unremarkable C API, what's the big deal?

I've seen this "argument from big numbers" lots of times and it's unconvincing. The large number of planets in the universe means nothing if none of them have Earth-quality conditions, or if it's purposefully kept e

On one hand, great, useful, and very pretty. On the other hand this reinforces the use of such antiquated and hacky concepts as clearfixes, or floats for layout. Also, the ellipsis truncation is very tricky to pull off. The parent element n

Life _could_ exist anywhere, even in deep space, but apparently it doesn't. You could probably interpret some behaviours of neutron stars as life. I admire the human drive to solve the cosmic puzzle, find something bigger and more mean

Look at it in another way - they want somebody to work for them, you can provide this service. It's a business agreement, not some mercifully offered gift. Both sides want something from the other. The sooner we stop thinking about job

So by default I block all javascript and I got this message: "Sorry internet hipster, this little side project requires JavaScript." These kinds of condescending messages towards people concerned with privacy aren't going to

In addition to my other projects, I've also added the code of all HackerRank problems I've solved to a repository on Github. I link that profile whenever I look for a job. This way the recruiters have an abundant source of code sa

The title is misleading - the shader does not implement the original Wolfenstein rendering engine, it's an experiment in generating textures inside the code.

Thanks for this link, looks like all the emails in my domain are safe.

A very old email I've used a long time ago has been involved in 7 breaches and 1 paste. None of these passwords have been valid for years though.

There should be a way to check entire domains, outside of known public email providers. I use a different email address for every website I use and a catch-all rule on my domain to redirect them all to a single email account. I won't

I wrote and published two papers while working on my bachelor's degree, so it is definitely possible.

Unless I'm using a content blocker and can watch the "content" without accepting intrusive ads and profiling, then it's on my terms.

I can live without the "content". If the "content" is made by somebody who thinks creating "content" on the internet is a viable substitute for a day job and advertisements are an acceptable way of making money

Makes one wish we'd get closer to 100% adblock coverage...

>Really stood out to me - if anyone needed further evidence that Google is still an ad company, and that the free services are about driving ad traffic. 97% of their income is through ads. Maps, Docs, email, Google Plus, Youtube, even Se

I'm interested if a free spot at the top of hacker news hot articles will end up being better in terms of advertisement than spending ~$14k on youtube ads.

What's the point of putting this on Github when there's no source code available? Many people won't trust arbitrary code from a random user enough to run it on their machines.

The bad guys _did_ get it first. If Germany or Japan developed it first, they would be sure to go down as the "good guys" in the history textbooks, and you'd be on hackernews wondering how awful it would be if the demonic Uni
