Parent is a great example of how Republicans constantly lie: 1. Ignoring that POTUS literally told states to fend for themselves on supplies, even pretending he didn’t. Obvious lie. 2. Pretending that the seizure is part of an undeclared fe

I'm confused about who sees what IP when. I'm also confused about the bandwidth limits on plus. Having essentially two products blended together, and using new technology that behaves uniquely, makes the communication lift here t

I'm curious why this got flagged? It's a pretty interesting snapshot of the political dynamics around the second amendment, especially with the way other groups have been dealing with them.

Nobody has 0 intake, that is a useless control; nor would any IRB sign off on such a study, because it would be harmful to the subjects.

Is there some relationship between Mach's poor performance and the ability of macOS to remain functional in low-memory situations? Linux has been called out recently for becoming unusable when free memory is low. Using both, I can say

I'm glad Julia is continuing to make progress. There's certainly a learning curve but that's how it goes with these powerful languages. I believe it's inherently superior to the competition, and as long as the rough spot

My understanding is that part of COBOL's longevity stems from its particular handling of fixed-point math being a specified requirement of various financial contracts. Odd to see this write-up not mention fixed-point math, actually.

Well jeez. I know it's not a popular thought on HN, but climate change is a problem of such scale that it's going to need government-level funding and oversight to find and validate geoengineering solutions, and global-level fundi

The author is painfully edgy and seems to be oblivious to the fact that the main use-case for Bitcoin, aside from transferring wealth from marks to whales, is the purchase of contraband, which Libra presumably won't allow. The article

This exactly. I don't know if it's Ive or Cook, but I'm really wondering what I'm doing to do when my older Apple devices kick the bucket. Apple, if you're listening, bring back real keyboards and the headphone jack

Thomas Sowell, like so many conservative thinkers, is a stupid person's idea of what a smart person sounds like. If that's too harsh for you, sorry, but that's what happens when angry Austrians go through the thread systemat

It's a good list. Generally pretty reasonable but they threw in some Austrians at the end for "balance" or something. People usually get more then enough Austrian economics from radio and online ranting, and they get a fair

You can do better than average but still overestimate yourself. And in a world where people judge by appearances, that can be a real advantage.

One thing about using VPNs on the phone is that a lot of mobile/public networks only allow port 80, which prevents the VPN from connecting. If CF makes a version of wireguard that can do port 80, that would be great. As far as their bo
