I don't get where these takes are coming from. Deep sea submersibles are not some revolutionary thing nobody has done before. There's no brave, glorious exploration here. There's already a large body of knowledge and expertis

Nah. It's not as "cool" as it used to be, but IMO Rails is still the best around at banging out a decent web app with a moderate amount of functionality and traffic. It still has better integration with front-end side than an

A1: Man, that Jekins is so gullible, he'll believe anything. Wanna help wind him up some for the lols? A2: Lol yeah, you're right. I'm in, that sounds like fun. A1: Okay so I told him that we've got some alien spacecraft

I'm perfectly prepared to accept that - they're already lying about tons of other stuff. I'm just gonna need something a little more solid than, this guy claimed a few other guys told him some stuff and showed him some papers

I think I see the point - that people have very different beliefs and expectations about paid jobs versus volunteer work. If I pay you just a little bit for something you were doing, it may not really register much because it isn't eno

All the breathless language about how terrible this supposedly is really turns me off. It seems like every person involved in this debacle is being ridiculously childish

Yup this. These vulnerabilities are far too valuable to use for petty crime. You'll never get an equivalent return from using them to compromise a handful of phones, and if you use them on a large scale, they'll get noticed and pa

This sounds like you've missed the point entirely. > It has happened twice that they found a problem in my blood check. Both cases it was nothing but if it had been, knowing it early could have saved my life. The point of the moveme

It's a general database access anti-pattern. It happens when you make one simple query to get a list of stuff. Then for every row, you fire off another query to get more details about that item. Instead of this, a single properly-desig

Because it encourages people on our side to advocate for things that are a high risk of leading to a nuclear exchange. I've already seen a lot of people do this in a lot of places. It's probably not a good idea to encourage them.

He didn't get 20 years, that's just the maximum permitted penalty for the crime he committed. The article title cites it as clickbait. It's rather irritating. The law was made with a flexible range of punishments to permit th

So what? We know his timelines are sometimes exaggerated, but the intention and direction are what's important. The first thing he said indeed already is present in the app, as are several other changes, so you're wrong about zero

How about from the horse's mouth instead? https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1656084243905384449 This is very interesting news!

IMO, part of having a social platform actually retain quality long-term is not ever making it too good. You've got to discourage the masses of people who mainly post memes, puns, and jokes to everything if you want the people who actua

Thanks for letting us know, that sounds really cool, I just bought one myself!

It seems likely to be, particularly in the forms available today. There seems to be increasing consciousness on this both on the left and the right. The Left has been increasingly concerned about the abusive acts becoming common in pornogra

Nice! I worked on some larger offshore drilling rigs / platforms like those myself. It's a little surreal sometimes spending your days around so much massive machinery.

I always wonder why these guys are using such broken stuff. Surely they can find someone to fire up a private Matrix server for them all to do business on.

This outrage-bait is curiously at odds with the sentiment in the sibling post by /u/fnordfnordfnord. Do you want front-level employees to judge whether somebody "look like a person who would manufacturer amphetamines" or

The thing you gotta remember about this is that YC etc are Venture Capitalists. They're a subset of the funding industry that is primary concerned with funding extreme long-shots that have a small chance of becoming massively and wildl

I never got the hang of it either. I still prefer httpie for having a better syntax and better support of plugins AFAICT.

Incidentally, it seems that Chrome somewhat recently released an update that unloads tabs from memory if you haven't interacted with them in a while. In my personal experience, this seems to have led to a pretty remarkable drop in RAM

Mostly the same and I agree. So many messaging apps sometimes. Though it's not quite so bad. IIRC all the Meta apps (Instagram and Facebook, I don't think Whatsapp though) can communicate with each other's DMs on any of the a

Technically yes, but I think what most people think of as "legal" is rather different from "can be prescribed by a doctor for a legitimate medical use".

There's probably some of that. But this also reminds me of SSC's Against Against Pseudoaddiction[0]. Seems like some people really really want to be able to say, oooh I caught me a drug addict, nice try you lousy addict! [0] http

Man, I remember the time when we had to pass a constitutional amendment to make a substance illegal. Now a government agency can just declare substances illegal without needing to justify it to anybody.

Yeah that's the problem - TOTP with a basic app is pretty easy to use, but making sure you're protected from a phone suddenly lost or broken scenario is tougher, and you may not know you need to do it until it's too late. How

That's true, but it seems pretty low-risk to me, since only Stripe and maybe a few other services you're integrating with actually know the DNS name. It's possible someone could discover it and attack it, but I think I'd

My first thought is - why is this traffic going through CloudFlare at all? There's no caching benefit and it's all going to be coming from a datacenter anyways. Maybe it's more trouble than it's worth to bother setting u
