Reverse-engineering is fun.
Nothing surprising here. People who view C++ as just a better C always outnumbered those who view it as another language. That's exactly how democratic governments make their decisions… you might think it's stupid, and…
It's not fundamentaly an anti-AI stance (though I think agentic stuff is the worst usage of LLMs for code, I won't even try to debate about it with people completely sold to it). The issue is what HN is all about now.…
Girl, give them ELIZA, they won't even notice.
Passion for code, dedication to the art of it... is what always defined me since 1980 on my Magnavox Odyssey. So I perfectly understand what he is talking about, and I share most of it. Still, he makes me smile…
The Internet I grew up on was not the web. It was mail, newsgroups, IRC… maybe the article talks about that, but I don’t care as this is nothing the web can kill in any way.
Well, we're talking about something that makes all other mail readers draw J for smileys since decades because M$ doesn't give a shit about even de-facto standards, after all...
Maybe God was so angry seeing His fellows embrassing LLMs. So He asked vaguely one of those lame things, for the first time: 0. "Make something cool out of this insane amount of energy." (temp: 10^42 Kelvin) 1. He slept…
I wonder what the hell is that damn thing I select sometimes on my Vulkan engine with --gpu-select=Intel :)
Asimov describes networks of moving walkways on Earth. There are several adjacent ones with different speeds, and the central one is the fastest. People optimize their journeys by entering the network from the outside…
Did this on my Atari ST 68000 back in the 90s... I did not even heard about the word "preemptive" at the time (guys, I did not even know the Amiga OS did this natively), it was just an idea. Task switching every 10 or…
> I'm skeptical the majority of tech experts are struggling to find the utility of them. Looks like we did not read the same article.
No wonder they did everything they could to hide RSS from the masses: it's such a shame that users control their own feeds rather than their obscure algorithms.
I know for sure that HN stands for Hacker News.
Sorry, but I did not find any "Aaaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhhhhh" to purchase. Could you give me more details?
Forget it, you won't be able to be funnier than the 1991 TRUE PATH TO NIRVANA. This is unbeatable.
People's stupidity will always surprise me. I mean... it's such a basic irony trick given the subject matter that it doesn't even deserve to be mentioned, let alone questioned.
Above all, we mustn't torment the sacrosanct biological neuron center too much (they already have a hard time accepting that they're monkeys, so give them a little dignity, damn it). “A man doesn't think. It's just…
That's exactly why I'm here today, after 40 years of passion, penniless, or with very little money, not rich. Disenchanted by the professional aspect of what was initially just a simple obsession with “how it works,”…
> Their right handed writing was an artifact of that culture. Sure. But that does not define a person as a right-handed writer. That's precisely why I wrote "individual's ABILITY to write with their right hand".
There is nothing cultural about an individual's ability to write with their right hand. Studies have been conducted on this subject: it is a physiological/neurological factor (which also applies to other parts of the…
> I mean several languages are right to left? So? Anyway, handedness bias is a humanity thing. You're not interested to see if they don't care about majority, are you? But let's be honest: it's just other cultures to…
Yeah, sure, I've heard that before... master/slave, black/white lists... and now, north/south. I wonder what they'll come up with now to explain reading from left to right (don't even think about the majority of…

Given CSS rules, it would be simple using CSS light-dark() + variables instead of raw colors. I'm using Dark Reader since a long time now, but more and more often disabling it for some sites supporting HTML relatively…
