I was not clear, I am not saying telling Canada not to make a deal with China is the same as telling the UK not to limit porn. I am saying we have seen multiple instances where countries have stopped considering Trump's deals, cause th

Can't wait for them to realize this allows sidestepping geoblocks on media and Hollywood to freak out.

In the 00s I remember receiving a pingback from the internet explorer blog about a post I had made to complain about ES4. I was/am a nobody, I have no idea how that happened and it was mind blowing that MS was interacting with me.

Interesting article! As an aside I just had a realization: how can this typical representations of color spaces (larger blob of perceptible color and the smaller polygon of the color space) work? Isn't the image encoded in one of those

I think the title on HN doesn't reflect all that is in TFA, but rather the linked article[0]. Fowler's article is interesting tho. I do like the idea that "all code is tech debt", and we shouldn't want to produce mo

cheap clothing is for the vast, vast majority not done in the EU, so this does not matter. But also, this regulation applies to the company _selling them to customers_, so it's completely irrelevant.

personally, I know I can use search and replace, but <ctrl-n>-n-n-c-replacement[0] is easier on my mind than the search&replace alternative [0] I've been using vim-multiple-cursors for years, it's abandoned but still wor

I can't see how that would it be porn either, it's nudity. There's nudity in the Sixtine chapel and I would find it hilarious if it was considered porn.

I'm confused by people replying to the bot, as if the bot would learn from this like a person.

Thanks, I came here to check if this comment had already been posted and was not disappointed.

Just FYI, I was mildly confused by the name, as "ulti" is the name of a traditional Hungarian card game. I doubt this will ever confuse anyone else but I thought it was a fun name clash. https://en.wikipedia.org/wi

I think this opens a huge can of further questions: what is a Stephen King? Is it a best selling author who's a house name, a very successful genre author, one who spans genres and is successful in all of them, one whose' books g

the italian dubbing was named "le ali della libertà" (the wings of freedom), which is one of the rare cases where I agree with using a different name than the original, since nobody would have clue what "Shawshank" means

The EU had wind + solar overtake fossil fuels last year too. Fossil fuels are now less than 30% of electricity generation. Alas, there's a ton more burning which is not electricity, but progress is undeniable https://ember-e

I haven't watched it, but I seem to recall "Mr Robot" was widely praised by techies too.

This is insightful. But I'm not sure it's completely true, I think people just have shifted their perception of what selling out means. Content creators on YouTube, for example, get criticized when they literally sell their brand

But Trump and his administration also prove what GP is saying. Few care about the truth. Trump states obvious lies so blatant ("prices will go down 200%") that anyone who cares could tell they are untruth without needing to look u
