Is aspartame commonly used in products that aren't labeled as containing it, or that one might be surprised about? I never buy any food or drink labeled "sugar free" or "contains NutraSweet (or similar)". So I had a

> If you want to store your photos on Apple servers, shouldn’t they have the right to exclude CSAM content? This seems worded to get a Yes answer. So, yes. It's a big deal because it's unprecedented (to my knowledge) outside

> They are scanning photos chosen for upload. This is about the 16th time I have seen language just like this used to explain away this concern. I don't know if you realize, but this wording makes it sound like you can select some

That article is very obviously not about what is being searched for. It's about who it is being reported to. For example, if Apple one day decided to detect unauthorized copyrighted media, they could report it to the RIAA. The RIAA i

I am profoundly disappointed that almost all of the discussion is about the minutiae of the implementation, and "Hmm.. Am I ok with the minutiae of Apple's specific implementation at rollout?" And almost nobody is discussing

I always thought it was more appropriate for most purposes. But on HN, perhaps the most common purpose is discussing ludicrous total comp. And, at least when I left in 2010, Microsoft most certainly did not offer that. I heard that they r

Seems like a pretty good example of "Ideas are nothing, execution is everything." The for me page, the longer video length, all the particular UI decisions all add up to a big difference in stickiness.

This is why I stopped looking at TikTok altogether. "Trends" just seem to be too enormous a use case for creators, to be avoided. I never wanted to know who Megan Thee Stallion or $NOT are, but here we are.

None of that is legal in the state I live in. Based on my personal experience in other states, I think you're exaggerating the likelihood that collectors will do anything except leave voicemail. But I don't know your definition of

I have 18 open right now, and that's a lot for me. That's where I start looking for something to close. None are search tabs, and usually I don't have any. Looking at them now, 9 are only open due to some definite hoarder men

Bjarne and the C++ community are very clear on what the zero overhead principle is. If it isn’t holistic enough for you, that’s no fault of the principle. Your objection is either off-topic to what ‘zero cost’ means, or equivocation.

Why strive for that, when we can just claim the title? (And then rationalize that we earn it by applying whatever passes for ‘rigor’ in our trade)

This is one of my favorite thought experiments, except in my version it is guaranteed that nobody can moderate anything, ever. My best guess is: There is a threshold for how much of a problem something can become before congress makes a law

This is StackOverflow, and the interview is about code, so they probably mean developer in that sense. Tarn is the only programmer.

I have little experience with server development. Why should it ever be the case that no requests are served? Why doesn't first come, first served apply (to some degree)? Is it assumed that every request to a web server will get its

I've witnessed ongoing sexual harassment in the game industry, and there is nothing good natured about it. Often it was ribbing, but it was also overtly sexual, demeaning, and clearly a game to see how badly they could affect the vic

In my experience prestige has been a lot more about which company I worked at than the role. If anything my being a programmer detracted somewhat from prestige outside the company, while adding to it only within.
