I appreciate your well intentioned point of view (and that you didn't include smilely faces this time), but I think you need to tone down the sanctimony. There's an irony in how you talk about the misplaced conviction of others wh

The vibe in this thread is so hostile, and the most vociferous posts are from the pro-children side of the debate. I have no deeper comment to make here, I just find it a little shocking how aggressive half the posts are.

I’ve worked at companies that ostensibly sell a hardware thing, and that thing was very poorly designed. It had everything to do with a combination of inexperience, hubris, and sloppiness, and absolutely nothing to do with malice. Some plac

No, it's a bad working environment for you , and I'd appreciate if you didn't condescend me with smiley faces and presume to make declarations about my productivity on my behalf. > Just think and tell, why you're not

Laptops, not desktops. Lugging a desktop around would certainly be worthy of an eyebrow raise. As for why it's not a good work environment, you've presented a loaded question. It may not be a good environment for you, but it is fo

Was it ever gone? Much of the world never got over this phenomenon, even if the western nations in the aftermath of WW2 kind of did, and even that was arguably just an anomalous period of time. The open questions for us now are, can this an

> 2. WASM is very good at bringing tools to new spaces. Yeah, I agree with this. I have a few ongoing fresh-start projects that are being built with WASM as the primary build target. And like you said, the tooling is definitely not great

I'd be willing to be that the intersection of people who think this and then choose to engage in gambling anyway, is probably one of the highest grossing demographics that exist.

Some of those offers are insultingly low. $3000 to purchase the whole project? Really?

My father, a programmer who got his start in the punch card era, was the same way, but I never had the mental capacity for this. I need to start writing before I can concretely hold anything in my mind. The structure of the program, and the

What is "global" in this context? I assume it means throughout the entire material sample, as opposed to some small section of it?

Could be Lincoln Labs, Draper, Hanson Air Force, or MITRE. But those are all MIT-adjacent anyway.

Yes, but it was unclear to me until I worked through it because op didn’t make it as obvious as it could have been. I figured if I was confused others might be too, so I typed it out explicitly.

> 2024 - 942 = 1982 My math is rusty to be sure, but I'm pretty sure 2024 - 942 = 1082. In this case, I suppose the data entry error is that someone somewhere accidentally entered a birth year as 1082, instead of 1982, corrupting th

In a long-haul Turkish Airlines flight I took in October, I only had USB-A power. But it was economy, who knows what the higher tiers had.

What’s with the vilification of people with a foot fetish anyway? Seems like they’re always getting called out, ragged on, and otherwise treated as filth. Its just the human body, idk what the big deal is.

You’re clearly passionate about this cause, and while I respect your dedication to equality I wish you’d find a different target to redirect your vigor towards. Policing my language is not a way to win friends, it’s a way to force your view

by vsnf 3y ago
The counterpoint is why spend so much effort language policing others words? There is no need to force this change, and it just causes needless consternation. Use allowlist if you must but don’t force your change on me for the sake of your

A favorite past-time of HN when a post with an interesting title on the microsoft.com domain appears, is to guess whether it's Raymond Chen, and then to fawn over Raymond Chen. All very well deserved, but are there any examples of inte

In what way are you worried that the binary blob is malicious, and do you not trust the browser's sandboxing? I'm curious why this is any worse than running javascript on any other website.

fwiw, some facial recognition systems, especially ones coming out of Asia where masks are far more common, are pretty good at identifying people with masks on.
