As I said this is "the standard excuse I've heard before", I have no information from HN yet so I'm just highlighting the usual reason and it's flaws up front.

Absolutely. Which is why you should not feel bad about abandoning a bad book, life is short, not everything is worth reading (or not everything is going to be interesting to you), so spend more time on the good ones, or on the ones you enjo

Yeah, this sounds like they are using Nature as an advertising platform to hype up their work. I didn't realise it was possible to publish a paper with the premise that details required to reproduce it are omitted in some sort of weird

The no.1 piece of advice I give to junior programmers now, or any programmer trying to improve, is to care about your code , everything else can naturally and more safely emerge from that one principle. The problem with laying down a bunch

Ah, so purely a matter of separation in the case of a lab coat.

Is that mainly due to it being based upon a historical snapshot of English? that by definition never evolved further. If it had the same huge population of English speakers over hundreds of years (i.e was a living language) then it may also

Sure, for some weak definition of "proponent"... I'm bored of everything being polarised. I guess it's easier for people who fear discourse in the grey to just shout heretic and hide in the crowd: > The Monty Python c

Indeed, John Cleese might do a good job of making fun of our government in this instance. He was quite on point with his poke at NFTs, I wouldn't put it past him understanding the nuance in these issues.

I didn't say anything about blame, only that the category of laptops being compared by the parent are not in the same class as what the author of the article was comparing.

Maybe, if you are lucky. Not so sure you will be running MacOS though, max version support seems pretty arbitrary with Apple historically.

Welcome to the dark side. After enduring a decade or more of Apple, tasting the modicum of control and self determinism you gain from a cheap x86 + linux as a developer, makes it hard to look back. People getting over the threshold of tryin

100%, Programming is all about trying to keep control, trying to prevent it from becoming chaos, trying to ensure you still understand the program you wrote at the end of the day. With out doing any of this it's easy, easy not to care.

Since manually scrolling through 10M rows is not likely... at that point isn't it better to just use an SQL DB rather than a spreadsheet? SQlite could be enough, and it's comparable to a spreadsheet in that it is well suited to a

To be fair I've traced malicious network attempts from Linode, Digital Ocean, Vultr, Hetzner... pretty much everyone, I assume due to the prevalence of vulnerable wordpress sites becoming part of botnets.

Linode was around before all of those. They were there at the beginning of "cloud".

It seems speaking of children is a trigger. My point is that it has been arbitrarily sexualised and doesn't seem relevant to the article.

Because your comment was ad hominem. I didn't flag it, but this is generally considered counterproductive to interesting discussion on HN and in general.
