If going for speed, would something like Go make more sense? Bonus: Cross platform with no dependency helljazz. And if going for async (and speed), Rust? Bonus: Security at core (not that Go's not).

I just went to read that article. Why would an author complain that the average 12 books read by an average American a year is likely a combination of those who read nothing after high school and those that read vicariously yet not seek

Quite difficult = Not impossible. So, completely difficult. But completely difficult doesn't sound quite right, probably as less syllables are preferred over many unless there's a quite good reason to prefer the latter.

Facebook, Amazon, OpenAI (or Altman) each $1million. This number, on a technology and presidential scale, seems low. Is it a mutual protection risk strategy, a political equivalent of patent-sharing?

Sell vertical. Sell aphrodisiacs, contraceptives, toys and real-dolls. Weddings. Honeymoons. Get a finger in finance with mortgage and insurance commissions, kids' savings funds, retirement planning. Because you met each other on Ti

Your didn't RTFA comment missed the mark quite wide this time as the perpetrator defunded the state which rarely goes well unless you are the state.

Creativity used to be the word. Now it's innovation. These words are not synonyms of each other. Creativity dropped out of business-speak around 2000.

I'll not pay $200, and if the $20/month option feels like it's being degraded in service quality I'll * Switch to Kimi Moonshot or other competition (quick/lazy optin), or * Host my own Llama 3.x (time to set up, ca

There's a positive association between 1337code interview hurdles and lack of management competence. Someone without the confidence to hire someone without going through a bunch of hoops to justify themselves is even less likely to adm

Term inflation. In half a generation, audit will be relabelled re-teaming. It's ironic.

It would be great to have a demo game to get a feel of.. the feel, without needing to enter an email address. The back button is broken. Clicking through from here, I was unable to return to HN. Firefox 128 ESR on Linux. My use case: Occ

China still has 10s of thousands. Hong Kong's not very representative of the mainland.

Shadowsocks is defunct now. Has been for a while; a connected server's IP can be detected and blocked within hours. That means Outline's defunct in a lot of places too. What's currently 'hot', in large part, is v2ra

It might really be worth going oldskool: Make a website. HTTPS. Put something like PHProxy on it. If you really want to, stick on some messaging, like a BBS. Then you can upload stuff. It's not going to be quite as quick as snapping a

Indeed. Without veering of into another discussion, other enforcement includes apps and phone monitoring. This isn't limited to other apps on a phone but firmware, input methods, even simply switching IPs. As well as VPNs existing, int

I might be missing something here. Can I not pick up a Nokia, Sony or other phone for an order of magnitude less than this price? It might even get some kudos. Or, as stated in the article, an alarm clock for a similar order of magnitude
