Happened to be updating a bunch of NPM dependencies and then saw `npm i` freeze and I'm like... ugh what did I do. Then npm login wasn't working and started searching here for an outage, and wala.

Those numbers you referenced have nothing to do with the topic. We aren't talking about "americans’ views of global threats". As I saw from your other comment, you're just living under a rock and you know it.

> What's happening right now is only mildly worse than the last few times this has happened. So you _are_ living under a rock, okay.

This thread's numbers betray you. You're living under a rock if you think this topic isn't a regular at the highest political levels, on the news, and now frankly at the ballot box.

This specific political topic is on the top of everyone's mind. If the US president was assassinated, would you say the same? If your child was killed for political reasons, would you continue your blissful mornings aloof?

A one state solution means Palestinians can vote out the Zionists from power. They know that, so they'd rather prevent it while simultaneously genociding their population.

This kind of exchange was inevitable. The Rust crowd has this mentality that their code can be perfect (beyond even 'safe'), when in reality as long as your foundational system inputs and capacity aren't perfect, no downstrea

Don't see what's wrong with it. He's leading one of the most high-profile and complex software system in the world with billions of users. If he was a softball all the time it'd be a mess. You have to be straightforward

Except everyone understands it's not raining under roofs. When someone says 'Rust is safe', they assume it infallible. It's been oversold.

I'm curious if competing search engines have considered adding themselves to the list described here. I would imagine a service like Bing at least could afford to be added to the list without getting effectively DDoS'd.

Have to fully agree; just seems like a "cool" tool where if you had to actually use it for real world projects, it's going to slow you down significantly, and you'll only admit it once the honeymoon period is over.

If you sincerely walked a mile in the Palestinian side of your shoes, you would say the complete opposite.

Beautiful, this is exactly what's been on my mind for a while. After building a ton of "cool" infrastructure technology, I got recommendations from friends to sell it. But in the back of my mind somewhere I had going on what

Different things; the JSDoc is purposely bloated-looking on an initial generation because it's meant to give you the space to detail out the semantics of the parameters. You would frankly have to do the same thing with any type system

My point is obviously subjective, so you may not agree, and we may have different tastes for what simplicity/complexity looks like. https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/tree/mast... felt li

This is actually why I stopped using it. Forcing types on a dynamic language like this seems to inevitably lead to really, really complex type definitions which just confuse things tremendously. It almost seems easier and better to just str

I can't imagine universities actually caring to teach new programmers Rust... it's an overly complex language that most professors themselves would steer far away from because they know there's more to programming than follow

Without inspecting the implementation of `sponge` that's how I assumed it already internally worked.

Just felt the same way about the portion after the semicolon; it's quite catchy as well! Please give a reference or else if I use this later I'll have to say it came from "some guy on hackernews".

I had the same perspective on these frontend technologies as a backend/ops guy, and it all finally clicked when it came to me that I just couldn't find a justification for why CSS was the way it was. This was solved trivially by j

Exactly, all these articles seem to come from operational novices, who think in terms of 1-2 click solutions. K8s is not a 1-2 click solution, and clearly isn't designed to be; it's solving particular tough operational problems th

This is precisely why I've lost interest in Rust. It feels limiting in the same way that fat frameworks do - it just becomes so much harder to express what I _really_ want to do sometimes, because I'm always working around the lim

Same here, this is my go-to for Hacker News content now. But of course it's only a curator, it doesn't offer anything like what this refined-hacker-news project does. Side note if author/host is reading: can you redirect HTTP
