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. Ever

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 planet? I'm n

I've gotten lost in the 'assembly is too high level' series on this blog recently and it was very enjoyable. Also learned some things I didn't know.

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.

Maybe my attention span let me down here, but did I miss the part where the alleged taste-altering virus was identified? I enjoyed the article, but I was really interested in finding out more about that particular point.

I'm pretty sure the implied sentiment is "Build programs that look impossible because they might turn out to be possible."

I don't think it's a dumb question. And I think you're right: the closer you get to the way the CPU you're targeting likes its memory optimally managed, you're basically heading towards assembly. I have notions that

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 specification. I also

This comment might sound like I'm being difficult, but I'm genuinely asking. You imply a downside for Bob in his avoidance of shared-vulnerability-relationship, you didn't explicitly state it - you said it hurts others who ha

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.

My [lay] understanding is that a portion of spacetime has yet to be found that has 0 countable things. I also believe 'countable' gets tricky the more you zoom in, as it were.

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.

fwiw, and this is going to sound incredibly cliché, One thing I've found is that - people you're in relationships or freindships, of whatever kind, with - they put out a mix of positivity, negativity, whatever - The only way to ma

A lot of people are chiming in on 'being that person' - it's me, as well. I find text awkward, shallow, and ultimately I spin my wheels trying to decode and write messages - the kind of enegry I specifically need for things I

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 a

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 what we value

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 "probably t

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 "ac

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 advantage

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 ideas last, so

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 you go into
