You see, if you don't let us force updates on you, your computer will be insecure, and you could potentially get a blue screen, or your business could be down for days.

Agreed. I'm sick of people I disagree with having fun.

I would say it doesn't just work . That's why being a programmer isn't a one-off job. You're still there to glue things back together when they inevitably break unexpectedly.

And then people would be confused at how it's not an incomplete URL, because mail.google.com exists.

Why couldn't there be multiple islands of stability, and why couldn't they be way higher in proton count? All you should really need is a fairly "balanced" nucleus, right? Is there some property of larger nuclei that mak

Nah, it only works for corporations. Peons still have accountability.

It's an entire new browser engine. It's a moving target fueled by billions of dollars, dominated by megacorporations, with thousands of edge cases to account for. I'm surprised it'll be ready for alpha that soon.

Is Wasm performance that far off of native that the difference between bundled GC and native GC is noticeable?

Yeah all the famous, immortalized people we look back on in history have had a bias. The dude has a bone to pick with the Democratic party. So what. He exposed corruption deep in government regardless. Saying "yeah he exposed crimes, b

I'm still holding out hope that the next guy pardons him.

Almost all of these are pretty nice. I disagree with the preview-on-hover though. That sends off a request to a possibly unknown (possibly unwanted) destination. I often hover a link to look at what the URL popup says in the bottom corner,

Exactly. McDonald's not-so-secret secret recipe is immense scale.

Ah okay, the law says so, so it must be acceptable.

The spying is too far removed from the average person's life that people don't care enough. One person sitting in your house watching everything you do would be really spooky, and everyone would be upset. Countless unidentified pe

Canada being totalitarian? I'm shocked.

No, you see, it's a protest. They can do anything they want with no legal repercussions.

Memory safety doesn't fix fundamental design flaws.

Then the message is even more dire: the world has always been a dystopia. And even 70+ years later, with more (and better) education, higher standards of living, and a wealth of dystopias to read and learn from, nothing has changed.

Stalin never earned the same perception as Hitler, probably because he won and Hitler didn't. History is written by the victors. There's a reason the cliche move in politics is to call your opponent "literally Hitler" an

It's almost like parent was intentionally hinting for someone to mention Emacs. Probably not, but the degree to which they described Emacs was kinda funny. It may be old, but it's been evolving, and I absolutely love it still. Esp

I'm curious why the resemblance and homage to the Soviet Union in the first place, but I find it sad that people feel the need to rebrand things like this, to avoid the mob. Just because I don't like communism, doesn't mean p

Then it should be "FLOPs" to indicate that the S is not separate word in the acronym, just the plural form.

Civil asset forfeiture is fucking criminal. You don't even need to be arrested or convicted of a crime.

Well since these images are taken in a different part of the EM spectrum than visible light, the colors are false. But the images aren't touched up in the sense that shapes and sizes are altered.

Which would be great. These agencies and bureaus have grown to an enormous scope, completely without the consent of the governed. Doesn't sound like a republic to me.

It's site-wide.

Unironically. More generally: nerds that like to solve problems. Most of us happen to be programmers, but I've seen plenty of people in the comments saying that they don't even work adjacent to the programming industry, yet they&#

Exactly. My friends and I have poker nights occasionally, and we always make sure dues are paid to those who are owed them, and nobody is upset in the end. It's about playing the game and having something to do with friends. You'd

Agreed. It's gotten easier. If I was starting Emacs from scratch again, I'd probably write my own vanilla config. But Doom helped introduce me when the concept was bizarre and foreign to me, and I'm very grateful for that. No

Everthing is a tradeoff between convenience and freedom. Clearly the majority of people have decided convenience beats freedom.
