It’s quite common for redditors to consider anything short of far-left as being far-right.

Out of curiosity, what was this fringe opinion? I think this is the elephant in the room when it comes to Reddit: it’s been captured by a certain kind of radical ideologue.

> socio-political platform with so much slime in between the subs that I find useful. That’s putting it nicely! I’m increasingly seeing it as a breeding ground for fringe-left radicalization.

Have you found any generalizable methods for finding non-Reddit communities for niche interests?

I’ve felt it too. I can’t fight the feeling that it happens to attract a certain kind of mentally ill person. Specifically, the preponderance of anxious, neurotic persons, often with a persecution complex and a militant ideology, is enorm

I have a sneaking suspicion the author’s next article will be something along the lines of “people who are worse engineers than me keep getting promoted, and it’s not fair”.

How did this manifest, exactly?

Perhaps the EU might consider defending the sovereignty of its constituent states? That might even put a dent in Euroskepticism. I will never understand your particular brand of whataboutism.

For once I disagree with the EFF. This is a national sovereignty issue masquerading as a freedom issue.

Perhaps, but I suspect this is part of the rationale behind the law.

The impact of spotlights on nocturnal life are also significant.

I vaguely recall that in vivo neural oscillations also exhibit fractal structure (in some cases at least).

The premise of this discussion is that another HN user has observed that companies routinely rely on people forgetting to unsubscribe. Again, the idea is that this is part of the core business model. As I've already mentioned, we agre

As stated in another comment in this thread, there seem to be fundamental limits at play.

by omginternets 3y ago
Knowingly optimizing your business to maximize my chances of forgetting, or making it difficult to unsubscribe, is absolutely unethical.

Can you elaborate on the specific meanings of “resource” and “reserve”? This has piqued my interest.

Detectors detect, they don’t prevent. All detectors suffer misses.

Firstly, thank you for the collection of links. Believe it or not, I've been researching this on the side, and there are a few interesting discussions in there I had missed! >I've softened my position on this and have a grudgi

I mean, Rust libraries can use `unsafe`... You might (rightly!) respond that you can exclude dependencies that use `unsafe`, but then you've just displaced the problem to "now I need to find new libraries". Point being, it&#

>Doesn't that mean precisely that Rust is easier than Go? I suppose that boils down to whether you find it easier to wrangle Rust-isms or track down runtime bugs/panics. In many cases, I'd rather wrangle Rust-isms. In so

I'm a relative newcomer to Rust, and yes, this tracks with my experience. I know the "Go is simple" meme is overused, but it really is a remarkably small language. For all the amazing engineering that has gone into Rust, th

Surely it's unethical to take advantage of people, even the irresponsible ones? There's a significant minority of people out there who struggle with this kind of thing because of circumstances beyond their control. If I didn&#x2

My friend, did you jump to conclusions here? ;)

Okay, but I'm not advocating that. My point is that they're being weasels. They're setting the stage so that they can work on things that anyone with a moderately flexible would view would qualify as "weapons", wh

By what measure is China an open economy? That flies in the face of their long history of currency manipulation and explicit protectionist policy.

I don't think anyone seriously considers Russia as an emerging superpower. There's a difference between being an international player and being a superpower.

"Don't be evil" => What's evil? "Don't build weapons" => What's a weapon?
