Some years ago I thought it would be interesting to develop a tool to make a python script automatically install its own dependencies (like uvx in the article), but without requiring any other external tool, except python itself, to be inst

Helping improve the spec and all is great, but being 100% honest, as a user, I would rather have a type checker I can bend to my needs. As you said, some code patterns in a dynamic language like Python are difficult, or even impossible, to

This was brought up in one of the previous discussion on HN [1], and people found out that indeed this project seem to have copied the original coreutils. There were some name of variables/constants taken from the original code [2]. Al

More than the limit, what seems absurd to me is that businesses seem to be allowed to refuse cash as a form of payment. I am reading the translated version of the article, and it says: > A seller can decide not to accept cash above a cer

Let's recap what is happening here, because we are going a bit off-track with this discussion. My original post was about the fact that I am tired of media outlets making borderline denigratory titles all the time about Telegram. You r

I did not claim Telegram to be secure. It has nothing to do with what I said. Moreover, saying that something "is secure" does not make too much sense, without specifying secure against what. Assuming you are in good faith, I will

It is tiring that this keeps happening. These media outlet publish misleading titles and abstracts implying that Telegram is not secure, knowing very well that most people don't even read the articles. I assumed good faith for the firs

It may seem an advantage to use the latest cutting edge features of a single platform, instead of using well established standards which are compatible with every browser. Sure, you are going to leave out some small minority of users, but y

You praise HN because we can have "meaningful" discussions, yet in the next sentence you ask people not to upvote an article just because the author is not great at communicating his thoughts, and makes some grammar mistakes, comp

The goal of modernizing coreutils is great, and doing it in rust is even better. However, it makes me very sad that this is licensed under the MIT licence. Being licensed under the GPL is an essential part of the GNU project and their philo

Thanks for this clarification. I guess I had a wrong assumption about Signal then! What happened to me is that I lost my phone, so I did not have an Android device to re-install Signal. I later managed to get back the SIM card and I assumed

Why do you think it is ignored? Feel free to suggest a way to improve the article, if you want :) In my opinion this is partially addresses in the threat modelling section, where I mention the need to trust "The companies running the s

Yeah, I thought the post was already too long to also talk about Signal! My opinion on Signal is it should definitely be preferred if one cares about security more than usability. I really cannot wait for it to have a "standalone"

It's a shame that every time that Telegram is mentioned, Signal advocates feels the need to let everybody else know how superior Signal is supposed to be compared to everything else. I don't have anything against Signal itself, bu

It's not as hard or expensive as you say to find two characters domains on two characters TLDs. You may want to do some better research. Hint: search on hn.algolia for "short domain names" :)

Wouldn't it be a good idea to "fix" the AGPL in order to make it clearer? It seems to me that every time there is a discussion around GNU licenses many people have no idea how to interpret them and then decide not to use them

I wonder if the OP could address this point and also give some more context on why he "lost commit access to the main repository". I think it could be useful to make a more informed opinion on the two projects (other than the diff
