The best thing you can do to minimise corruption is to make it necessary to bribe so many people for the corrupt to achieve their goals that doing so would be uneconomical. The reason Qatar is hosting the world cup right now is because FIFA

There's really no reason to blame this on the foreigners installing corrupt politicians, corruption is far more frequently organic and homegrown. Corrupt people work to further their own goals, if that happens to be using their power t

exactly, NFC-like technology would be extremely inexpensive in the scheme of things and could be deployed into road surfaces without much difficulty. I remember seeing a video of self driving technology from the 90s that used a similar appr

Marc J Schmidt has been working on this for typescript at https://deepkit.io/ and it looks very impressive, and ambitious. I made something similar for Flow a long time ago: https://gajus.github.io/flow-runt

Worst HN thread in living memory imo

Well actually, it's not just HN, I see this pattern all over tech Twitter, programming subs on Reddit etc too. I think it happens when people want to participate in the conversation but don't have anything actually worthwhile to s

I've been reading this site for 13 years and I think pontifier's original post is my all time favourite HN comment. It's perfect in so many ways, and the fusion reactor is the icing on the cake. I think this might be the peak

I don't think you're being particularly charitable in this thread - at the very least you're misrepresenting what he's said publicly.

Pine Bluff's population has declined by 50% over the last few decades, presumably the reason they were so cheap is that there's a huge supply surplus? And given the murder rate is 10x the national average I don't see demand f

in the UK this is already relatively common for online banking. I asked my bank to raise my daily transfer limit the other day for a property purchase and part of the process was recording a video of myself in their app.

I'm so glad to see his tenacity paying off, it's been great to watch his progress. To be honest I never thought this would be possible because there's just so much variance with these small solid fuel motors. Impressive.

indeed, I see that this project is storing documents as js objects so is likely to overwhelm the GC when the database is in the region of 500mb or so. For things like this it's usually better to use an ArrayBuffer for storage, but this

Tetris is challenging because TS escapes newlines in type output, so you'd end up with a bunch of\nwhich makes it\nhard to read the output. It could probably be done using arrays instead, but that gets truncated so you'd have to h

it'll tell you that `string` cannot be assigned to type `"RED" | "GREEN"`, and so you'll need to write a function that refines the type correctly, e.g. function isValidInput(input: unknown): input is &quo

This is already possible today and we don't need AI generated stock photos to do it. A bad actor can already spin events to fit their narrative, suppress dissent and control their population. Dictators have been doing it for centuries

that's not what empathy means, you don't have to house someone to feel empathy for them. In this case, I'd say don't judge them so harshly because they're a product of a failing social system. They're the conse

GC pressure is the cause of many of your competitors' problems. I'd be planning a move to an alternative sooner rather than later otherwise you'll run into the exact same problems that they have - after a certain point in the

this is definitely not true - there's a huge depth of complexity in these multi-dimensional databases. It's relatively easy to make a proof of concept - it's "just" an array of arrays after all, but building somethi

thanks for this comment, I'll look into fixing it. In the meantime I'm curious whether it works when you install deprank directly? e.g. yarn add deprank yarn run deprank ./src

hmm, sounds like it, please could you open a github issue with some more info? edit: I've just fixed an issue that looks similar to this, please run with `npx deprank@0.1.1 ./path/to/folder` and let me know if you'r
