Are you familiar with Georgia’s “Cop City”? This sort of thing does and has happened in the United States, and recently. > Carr obtained indictments against 61 people, alleging violations of the state’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt O

This is so bleak, and the reason these bromides against CEOs appear is because this system of global capitalism is intent on commoditizing everything; even a CEO’s skill set. Some people (either CEOs themselves or temporarily embarrassed wa

“just putting the facts out there” while stating a truism devoid of context is not a constructive contribution. You make no comments on the impact of this choice beyond the nominal cost savings. Or does your lack of comment signal your pers

Please expand on the tension between the competing passages of “We have the technology to pause the worst effects..” and “It’s far from a complete solution”.

The phrase “since the dawn of humanity” is doing a lot of work in this comment. On a long enough timeline, the “world has ended” multiple times. This isn’t doomerism, it’s a pragmatic view from a biologist’s perspective. Also as others po

I thought this article (a polemic and critical reflection on New Atheism) would be interest to the HN community. History has shown us that a lot of “intellectual movements” loved by technologists et al have gone nowhere or otherwise been a

Sorry your society has poor controls on public service. Sounds like a problem with the constitution; too bad it makes you sound like a crank.

I don't think there's any guarantee that browser vendors will continue to support WASI 0.1 indefinitely; Once multiple versions of the standard are in play, codebase supporting them simultaneously explode in size. None of this get

Thanks for the feedback. I was wrong about debug vs release; It's the difference between 4.0MB & 893KB on a ~500 LOC rust codebase (per cloc). I want to observe that your suggestions don't undermine or refute my point about pr

My direct experience with wasm32-unknown-uknown contradicts your own. I am building a yew on nightly, moving between release or debug affects nothing.

It's hard because, a lot of this stuff (async WASM, effect-driven WASM, GC in WASM, etc) is all driven by the desire to push these concerns out of wasm bytecodes, because it explodes the binary's size . I have a pretty trivial we

Capitalism and atomized market actors have subsumed the feudal patronage arrangements of the ancien regime. Would you say that you love this current system, but hate the outcomes?

Are you malicious or just ignorant? This is a terrible proposal (it’s not even a plan, just a hack). Should schools open up a supplemental essay so that applying students can share how they had to subvert the curriculum and then beg the col

This is a wonderful straw man you’ve constructed! Do you think if you believe in it enough, it will actually become true?

US Constitution worship on HN has to be, for me, one of the great disappointments for a community that regards its intelligence so highly. The constitution is a piece of paper; it’s not internally consistent and not even rational.

To all the HN users bent out of shape about this outcome (not even mentioning the numerous, actual KF users that are active in this discussion): this is the system you built. One where government largely stays out of the way of private busi

It’s more nuanced than that. The TechCrunch piece elides a lot of context. None of the OSS frameworks do anything better than what Godot does. A core dev sitting on a special fork they share with devs who have signed NDAs is not scalable. S

What a ridiculous argument tactic (“since you can’t reckon with the totality of a system according to my arbitrary standard you can’t critique it”). Furthermore, complaining about the use of “you Americans” is childish tone policing and som
