The misplaced hyphenations mid-paragraph in that abstract made me vocalise the text in my head as a reader with hiccups.
Fair use exemption makes specific reference to "purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting" - those are just the first three listed, and all three apply to a HN post.
I don't think "malicious chips" was a quote from Apple - Apple's letter mentioned "the existence of malware or other malicious activity." adding "Nothing was ever found." - which is pretty broad. Every webstory is…
Hi Joe. This answer is a bit rambly, but I think my subconscious has a point to make, and I'm trying to tease it out. This may come across the wrong way, but: which poor people? Your town, your country, or your whole…
That's a good point. Makes me wonder if that 2D mountain range projection could be used to 'search' through a 3D map for a match.
I'm pretty sure the implied sentiment is "Build programs that look impossible because they might turn out to be possible."
Assembly typically requires you to declare your own alignments. There are some higher-level assemblers, with macros and things, but you're right, there's rarely an abstract language offering low-level memory…
Same on my 100 MHz Apricot. I like to think it helped. One thing that used to bug me is I wondered how much CPU time was being spent on rendering those graphs locally.
With automated processes for copyright claims becoming so common, fair use is really getting trampled on.
89% of Americans use the internet.
It should really say "HTTP[S]" calls, or "Web" calls or somesuch - when I saw "Network" I hoped it would be a debugger for, say, UDP packets and TCP traffic. It's not.
I think it's worth a peek. I think it's uplifting to know how much more there is than what goes on around these parts.
Jokes always have an additional truth payload. :j
Hopped back onto Windows last year after a long time away - all the keyboard shortcuts and obscure registry settings I knew from Win95 still worked. Maybe some people would see that as a bad sign, but I loved it.
You open implying that the original commenter's grievance in untrue outside of "throwing up some code," but at the end you say the opposite, and agree that it's "no excuse for being rude to them." I think you agree the…
I believe I follow: your advice is to the individual looking to maximise their own survival chance. I read your original comment in a more abstract way, I suppose - 'long term survival,' to me, evoked way to preserve…
I found your comment quite enlightning, and I thought it ended well with an open-ended "What is the best socioeconomic system depends on the circumstances." But you then pick out a specific socioeconomic system as…
The state of "Bug" vs. "not a bug" is similarly non-binary. "unaccepted by users" is circular in this particular discussion, because it started with trying to tease out whether a rare* safety* risk was "acceptable." *…
I do think it's the idea, a lot of the time. On the other hand I suspect a lot of people do it without being aware. There's only so much accuracy you can squeeze into a sentence - some people don't notice, some take…
Your implied comparisons are ridiculous. You're using this website via HTTP, which isn't much different in age from IRC. Age and the number of people who worked on them have nothing to do with their usefulness; some…
Protip: Typing in the word "Nothing" makes this pretty hilarious.
When I hobby-program, I use assembly. I find it extremely relaxing; doing most things in assembly requires attention and concentration, so it's like solving a puzzle or like physically building something; I don't think…
If I can keep my hands on the keyboard all the time, life gets a whole lot better.
Well, at least you got a prize. All I got was a modal I had to remove with the element inspector.
I genuinely think that's a good response. Maybe the majority of recipients won't act, or they'll even take offense, but if somebody in there chose to contact you because they look up to your position, you could easily…
