> Including people who are violently un-inclusive is just being violently un-inclusive with an extra step. Respectfully, that doesn't make any sense.

> Its like when a couple of nazis show up at your bar and you dont through them out. Welp, now you're a nazi bar. That logic doesn't follow, sorry. You can be inclusive, yet not become the thing you're inclusive to. That

Racist, but not fascist. Fascism is a whole different concept.

Well, don't. I follow the HN Telegram channel (not official), and if anything interesting appears, I read it. If I tried to keep up, I'd be run over. It's too much input for the normal individual I am.

Yes, but it's nowhere near the maturity of Telegram's Bot API. And unlike Telegram, for a WhatsApp bot you need to apply with a bunch of paperwork. If you're an SMB, you got little chances of ever getting access. They'll

It does, but it's not enabled by default; and that's the point.

(Yes, but it expires at 2035-05-20. If you count years by rounding up to integers, there's not enough time room to renew it an additional year. It would make it 11 years.)

But if you check the domain's expiration date, it's far away in year 2035. To the best of my knowledge, a domain can only be renewed in advance for up to 10 years. (that could be the reason for that status).

Not needing to be at the top of his game anymore makes anyone lose that sharpness. As you just said, he doesn't need to fight New York politicians anymore. I stopped coding for the past year or so and I'm considering going back be

I do that too, and meditate if YouTube wounded themselves by adding that feature. View rates must have dipped for a percentage we don't know of, but definitely made a dent.

Though you have a physical copy of the game, I don't discount a future where a console refuses to load a physical copy of the game because DRM impedes it. Much like when short-lived TLS certificates expire on their own, even by being o

I fondly remember Backtrack 2, running as a Live distro. I remember going to university labs where a teacher taught us a couple of techniques or so. Great days.

That's such an unfortunate name for a good, reputable distro.

For JSON serialization, which doesn't support fixed-point precision it does. Floating-point precision has too many gotchas for being suitable to store Decimal types, especially for the Currency use case.

A string type. As parent says: it completely bypasses the problem. Save the numbers between double quotes and be done with it.

This. If you want to be a security vendor reseller, just make sure to sell to orgs that have a compliance requirement, either by law or similar. Do you sell firewalls? sell them to banks or something. Anti-malware endpoints? Insurances too.

This reminds me of these enterprise solutions to prevent data leakage, Data Loss Prevention tools (Safetica, Forcepoint, etc.). Could this be adapted to inherit DLP policies? I have a sample use case, for example: - Some DLP customers don&#

If the spirit of the antitrust law is to protect consumers from enshittification, then yes. But as written to the letter of the law, no, as this would not create a monopoly. More consolidation yes, but a monopoly technically not.

WhatsApp got toxic also. Statuses cannot be disabled, so the little notification dot is always there (I solved that by archiving everyone's statuses) and the phone call feature cannot start a recording when you get called. If you need

Adding to the 2nd point: It's one of the most watched APIs for suspicious activity ever. Anything not from their vanilla app, the littlest dot on their charts will trigger severe alarms and actions. Big correlation systems. The safest

Pray for the organic, pay for the boost. I realized months ago that social networks are distribution systems. Want acceleration? Pay. There is little incentive to make anything viral/organically boosted.

You still need domain knowledge and a solid understanding of what you're doing/what you want to achieve. If you don't have that, now that writing code is basically zero-cost now (in terms of time), you'll still be slow.

Not to kick dirt on their faces, but I also think Discord is just not the proper chat community open source projects should have. Might be my IRC mind talking, but a proprietary service like Discord, or Slack, or even Telegram at times, i
