Does anyone know if there's a trick to avoid the trailing newline when double-clicking a line to copy/paste it elsewhere? This always annoys me for single-line commands. I'd love a CSS solution but can only think of some ugly

All of these vaccines are approved under emergency authorization- the long-term effects are still unknown. At this same rate (6 in 6 million+), there could easily be unnoticed issues lurking in the alternatives as well. What we do know is t

One side of it is deplatforming, but the other side is protecting more vulnerable family and community members. The fact is that there are pied-pipers of disinformation on these platforms leading vulnerable members of our communities down r

Working on codebases where the compilation times can often be 30-60s, a 10x improvement makes a massive difference in development flow and is definitely worth a 2% regression in size. It's the difference between being multi-tasking whi

Google Closure's advanced optimizations require annotations throughout your codebase- in many codebases it may require significant effort to get this working. When you need that extra optimization it's great but can be a lot of ef

$20k to reward the amount of security analysis that went into finding this bug is an absolute deal for Microsoft. Seriously- a single FTE security researcher is going to be costing MS >$400k a year (salary, bonus, health care, office spa

I attended JupyterCon- the organizers were very focused on inclusivity, which I definitely appreciate. I love attending conferences just to hear from everyone. This is why inclusivity matters to me- it welcomes a broader slice of people. An

But the $8.3B is not coming out of the $10.7B that the family extracted. The title is not misleading at all- the family which profited $10.7B is paying $225M. The company already entered bankruptcy proceedings last year.

by randomfool 6y ago
Incorrect- the family has already drained $10.7B from the company and are only being fined $225M themselves- they are not responsible for any other portion of the $8.3B. The family will lose control of the company in bankruptcy but they kne

No- the $8.3B settlement was against the company, but the Sackler family has already drained $10.7B in cash out of the company. They've known this was coming and drained as much as they could- from Dec 2019: https://arstechn

No, it leaves $10.5B profit to the family since they've already drained $10.7B from the company and are only being fined $225M themselves. The family will lose control of the company but they knew this was coming and drained it ahead o

$8.3B is extremely misleading- the article says it won't happen. "A forensic audit last year by Purdue found that the Sacklers directed at least $10.7 billion in the company’s proceeds to family-controlled trusts and holding compa

Feels like the descenders are just a bit lower than normal, I like the contrast that brings with the parens and brackets. It looks clean. I'm excited to spend some time trying this out.

Should HN be completely un-moderated? There's a decent chance that the quality of the forum would drop and users could move elsewhere. I firmly believe that Facebook is responsible for shaping the tone of their platform ( every social

A community that tolerates abusive behavior can be exploited to become a community that fosters abusive behavior. Facebook is in control of what type of community they want their social network to be. At some point users may make a decision

Nope. Shadow DOM isolates selectors, style sheets, etc. It’s about a public/private API for elements. Contains is about layout and rendering hints to the browser.

Also it may be difficult to annotate all of the descendants appropriately and to audit them to ensure performance. I’m in favor of browsers inferring whatever they can, but when it comes to critical performance sections I want to be explici
