   It's mostly users flagging the post as spam/inappropriate for HN that kills the post. Flagging kills a post super quickly unless it's reached critical mass.

   I'd be interested to see a breakdown of deaths, injuries, and trauma(PTSD and such) per capita for police officers versus various US Armed Forces MOSes as well as common civilian trades/occupations. I imagine in general it's

   That's fair but isn't it more work to go back and have to rebase your commits to remove something that accidentally got skipped in your .gitignore? I say this because I am also a firm believer of if it shouldn't be committed

   I'm curious why people use "git add ."? I don't see the convenience over "git add -i" and quickly reading through the items to add. Realistically if you have a reasonable git workflow any add operation should o

   They support both but general rule of thumb I've found from the community is use the prior by default unless you have to use the latter.

   I think this is a good change for an entirely unrelated reason though. Blacklist and Whitelist aren't intuitive terms. Blocklist and Allowlist make way more sense from the user friendliness perspective, particularly so when it comes to

   I have a Moto X4. At the moment it is sitting around 150USD new. It's got a snapdragon 630 in it and despite struggling on several other applications, Firefox is super snappy and far faster than any other browser I've tried using

   Yep they come in a handful of sizes. The more common size for these protests seem to be around 2 inches in diameter. To put that in perspective, try to make the largest circle you can make with your index and thumb (think OK symbol shape).

    I'd imagine they'd probably send a modified cybertruck with some non-perishable supplies of some kind in the hope that there'll be some useful supplies on the planet for future missions even if stuff doesn't go smoothly.

    While I'd argue that the controls (at least for rotation, possibly also for translation) should be inverted, the controls are actually pretty decent. Try running it again but focus on zeroing the pitch, roll, and yaw first before movin

    From someone who has been interested in Rust for a long time but is only now really getting into it due to time constraints, why do you consider Rust too complicated to replace C? From what cursory knowledge I have, Rust maintains both a ba

    Hmm, interesting. I've only ever heard of systems programming referring to bare metal or close to bare metal programming. i.e. embedded software, kernel-space, or otherwise hardware adjacent programming areas.

    The GOTO topic is an interesting one because Dijkstra inadvertently started a cult around the avoidance of GOTO. Dijkstra never intended this and one of the main reasons this occurred was because Dijkstra's original paper "A Case

    I just tried out Midnight Lizard. It works surprisingly well but I can see myself wasting hours fighting with it trying to get it tuned perfectly.

    You'd assume so but as others have recently started posting in the comments on this thread, maintainers for small projects regularly get barraged with demands and spam/other forms of aggression in retaliation for not meeting said

    hmm. I just tried turning off JS and reloaded Firefox. Everything seems to still work fine on HN with the theme on. I don't know much about web dev so I'm not sure what could be causing it.

    One argument I often make for UBI over other systems is that it never incentivises not working over working while changing the cost benefit equation such that people are more willing to explore creative and entrepreneurial pursuits. Obvious

    Not an expert by any means but another way to look at "allocation free" algorithms is by looking at them as "statically allocated". They don't allocate any new memory but they do perform operations on an input and w

    Of course life is anything but absolute. We know that as a fundamental aspect of life. The point of avoiding those statements is that they don't add anything of value when used in the best case and in the worst case weakens the strengt

    The thing in my eyes that separates bullshitting someone from lying to them is that when you lie, you know what you are saying is probably or definitely false but when you are bullshitting someone, you just don't know if it's defi
