So he deserves to have his money taken by a government agent? How about we don’t victim blame people, and instead decry unconstitutional seizure of assets.

Why is it one or the other? IMO, laws against facial recognition would start a national dialogue on data collection. You have to start somewhere, so it’s better to start with this and then expand, versus trying to pass sweeping legislation,

Proton is improving but a lot of games still don't work or have random issues. And for linux, forget any game that uses BattleEye for anti-cheat detection.

Except with google it’s becoming impossible to find links from several years ago. Unless I remember exactly the right keywords and maybe the website name... How is this FOMO? The entire point of bookmarks is “maybe I’ll come back later to t

Actix was not at all "shit". People just took some issues with a few usages of unsafe and how the author responded to issues/PRs. I've been using actix for about a year now, and was excited for the 0.2.0 updates. That sa

I don't think anyone was arguing that. We obviously have to cover distances that are not practical for walking, so public transportation goes hand in hand with a walkable city. That is still a tremendous improvement over having to dr

As someone who grew up in the States, I never really understood this either, until I lived in Korea and visited Japan. There, residential zoning is mixed with business zoning. There is no such thing as a "suburb", because you have

My 70 kb/s connection disagrees. I was barely able to get slack to load, when it did load.

It’s not inclusive to force people to stop saying “you guys”, which is a midwestern thing. Different areas have a different words for the plural you, such as “you all” or “y’all” or “all y’all”. I grew up in Chicago and everyone said “you g

Hollywood is a reflection on culture, not the other way around. They just make what people want to see (it's a business, after all). Anything else is mindless conspiracy theories. There is no secret cabal pushing culture to the masses.

> Easy-to-use vs. powerful is a false dichotomy. iMovie vs Premiere/Final Cut. Final Cut X vs 7. Garageband vs Pro Tools. Word vs LaTeX. and so on. It's very difficult to design interfaces that are easy enough for average users

Not if it means reducing capabilities of the program in order to add bumper guards. I can’t think of any software that handles a complex program that doesn’t have a manual, documentation like a manual, or a learning curve. Git is a tool for

So is HN just a dumping ground for anti-<foreign_baddy> content now? USA good. China bad. Middle East bad. USA good.

No, no, you don't get it. This problem must be so easy and people quite simply haven't fixed it yet. Armchair analysts on HN know better than the people / agencies working on the problem. /s My guess is they do have (som

1. WASM is not a replacement for JS. You still need javascript glue code to actually load and run the WASM. 2. You're not writing WASM by hand, exactly like how you don't write assembly by hand. There's little semantic differ

Hence almost always. It’s not a common situation to delete commits from history, etc. I don’t see the capability to force push as a negative. There are situations in which it’s necessary, like forcibly removing history (something I had to d

> we can make the claim that it could be better I’m not disputing this. Of course git isn’t perfect. What I’m against is changing git to cater to people who can’t read the manual and make basic mistakes.

You should not be checking in binary files into git. That defeats the entire purpose and bloats the repo size enormously. Git LFS should be used instead. Or storing a Sha256sum and putting the file elsewhere.
