What's an "assault rifle"?

For me, I'm chasing a great team to work alongside. I want to sit next to the developer I can ask about the pro/cons of any web development framework, that can help me analyze a heap dump, or explain why some transitive dependency

This is why I'm glad we have the 2nd amendment. It levels the playing field for individual citizens vs. the government.

It's good that Microsoft saved money via layoffs so that it balances out when customers leave Azure. Very forward thinking company.

That doesn't sound very economically conservative or environmentally friendly. I (and many other conservative HN readers) would probably not shop if stores were to do this.

A lot of that can definitely be chalked up to the excellent moderation by dang! It's the last real place on the internet for me, a line saloon in the wild west if you will.

Okay but what happens if the tax changes, do you really expect retailers to reprint their labels every few months?

This is from a source where higher = better, I assume? Otherwise it makes no sense.

Agreed completely. Many younger folk point me to graphs that show the value of the dollar and how it's vastly different compared to decades ago, but I simply say that's Democrat propaganda and they realize their mistake!

> Of course you can live on welfare alone. This isn't my experience. Many who came into asking were even on minimum-wage jobs, just trying to survive. Source: I worked in welfare offices and dealt with many people.

This is one the examples where the exception proves the rule. After introducing my friends and family to a CLI-based booking tool I wrote for them, they have swore off website UI's since. Every other week I get an excited e-mail statin

Does anyone else feel like Tesla could have had it first, but Mercedes-Benz decided to pay off the US instead as it's now popular to hate Elon?

I think Elon should invest in some internal tooling that Twitter can take advantage of, such as infrastructure management or ad dashboards.

It's for plausible deniability. They want to rally us against them, and they can stand on the sidelines smirking and raking in the cash that TikTok provides them. I would recommend looking into some independent thinkers and doing your

Agreed. We definitely have to be more careful these days about which articles are pushing narratives that are designed to enrage or delude us. A long time ago I read an article about how Canadian kids were struggling to adjust with COVID re

Speak for yourself. Meat has been absurdly expensive for me here, to the point where I've had to cook vegetarian meals on and off.

This comment is arguably bordering on anti-Americanism. This method has worked well for us for decades, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

The important thing to ask is whether these posts generate _curious_ discussion, as per the guidelines, which I definitely see here. Flagging because you perceive them to be "controversial bait" is a misuse of the privilege of fla

How can you trust that there isn't a backdoor that's not available to you?

This is the salient point here. Despite the data showing effectiveness of vaccines, all it takes is one personal connection to have a negative response to make me swear to never take one again. Much like this user, I think the pandemic was

I disagree. I think it's framed as an undisputable fact - you'll notice that this is my opinion since I preface it with "I think", rather than simply stating: "Your post is an undisputable fact.". Compare it wi

Agreed. That lack of guarantee generally means that it's a waste of time to even try unit testing in the first place.

noduerme already addresses this. > Unit testing will not save you from SQL injection or XSS attacks, so study those and bulletproof your work against them first before you worry about mathematical proof that your database call never resu

I don't think this is just a joke, it's a gross overstep by liberal governments. We should rally together as conservatives and libertarians to ensure that we get the burial that we deserve - big government has to go.

Gas stoves have several advantages over electric stoves. One of the main advantages is that they heat up quickly, allowing you to start cooking right away. This can be especially useful for tasks like boiling water or sautéing vegetables th

That's awesome to hear! I myself do something similar with my own code, but then again, I also trust myself more than any computer ;) About how long would you say that process takes you? Do you repeat it every time a minor change needs

Very interesting. Like many other forum readers here, I wonder if the game would have seen more success if it was programmed using a commercially available engine, or even manually using C / C++. Despite outcries of the opposite opinio

Agreed. I personally have seen divorces and breakdowns of entire families and friend groups of my colleagues, but what is most important is making sure that they stay up-to-date with the latest technologies and look to further improve thems
