Debug_Overload

They even set up legit GitHub profiles with repos that appeared in some scenes (and even their site/blog used to have regular updates lol). It was awesome.

Did this get rejected from the Chrome Store? Would've been more convenient.

The fact that you included Reddit, SO, Google Scholar etc is awesome (I thought it was only for main search engines). Thanks for sharing. Bookmarked.

I'm pretty sure the comment you're replying to is a joke using dang's familiar disciplinary warning format.

This is awesome because it generates a fun paradox.

I am running uBlock, and almost none of the images on the page load right now. And seeing the way the title on that page is written, I'm not expecting quality content from there. Maybe share a link to a page that doesn't suck?

I remember the AMA one of their devs did on Reddit a few years ago, it was interesting.

web developers out there that are just shit

The technical term is webshits.

KDE isn't mandatory. Some distros (like ZorinOS) also have this functionality by default.

Sure but the argument seemed to be more general. From the article:

  Perceptive readers might have noticed that most of these 
  arguments can be generalized. This article is much the same 
  if we replace “Discord” with “GitHub”, for instance, or “ 
  Twitter” or “YouTube”.

I didn't know an open source project like this existed, it's awesome. Thanks for sharing.

How does it compare to the closed-source/proprietary alternatives?

For Business-Initiated Rates, Rest of Africa is higher than North America, Rest of Latin America, Rest of Central & Eastern Europe, Rest of Asia Pacific and Rest of Middle East (basically any region other than Western Europe). Any specific reason for this? "Being poor is expensive" kinda thing?

I'm sure AI people will downvote this

So? Why would you care about the downvotes? Your online experience will improve if you stop getting worked up about fake internet points.

Hopefully, it will be back: https://twitter.com/webshitweekly/status/1450563491069247489

It probably won't be well-received here (although the site made it to the HN front page once IIRC), but for sarcastic/humorous weekly summary of HN, there is n-gate: http://n-gate.com/hackernews/

Premature optimization is the root of all evil.

Is keeping performance in mind and choosing the tech stack accordingly really a premature optimization?

This might be the most abused phrase in CS history. Perhaps we should add "Premature optimization fallacy" to the list of cognitive errors programmers use as an excuse to not seriously think about performance.

The legal/ethical question is important, but I was just stressing OP's point about the disparity between bug bounties and what the actual exploits are worth. IANAL, but for the specific cases I mentioned (nation states and vendors who work with them), I think the legal aspect would be very different from selling it to regular black market cybercriminals (I used the generic "black market" in the first part of the original comment but I was mostly talking about those two cases).

It's not just Microsoft. What most bug bounties pay isn't even close to the amount you can get from selling it on the black market (assuming you have the right connections). It's why selling exploits to nation states and vendors who work with them is so lucrative.

This sounds awesome. For anyone with relevant expertise in the field: How significant is this? It seems pretty significant but we often hear about some amazing results from mice studies that turn out to not work in the real world.

will stop making jokes about Go

If you seriously think that's gonna happen, you haven't been to Go mockery stations on the interweb.

I'm not sure how spankbang got on that list but it's hilarious. Is it really a common problem like pinterest and similar stuff on that list?

This argument would work better if the editors were paid in the first place, and then they see an increase in the executives' salaries and get jelous or feel it's unfair. Clearly not the case, since they already knew it's all volunteer work.

It's been my experience that if you read enough content online, you will realize that it's mostly people rediscovering old debates, and chiming in with what they think is new and insightful perspective which it usually isn't.

How long does the relearning take exactly? My experience has been that if you've used these tools before, it's pretty easy to remember or refresh your memory. In that sense, they're not very different from other tools/syntaxes that you haven't used in a while.

And if you do use them frequently enough, you might not even need to refresh/relearn anything.

What evidence is "out there"? So far, there's no evidence, from what is being reported by legitimate news agencies who saw the supposed evidence. Example: https://apnews.com/article/business-europe-middle-east-israe...

Adding your HN username to a résumé sounds insufferable.

Is this YC's version of getting in on the NoFap (and the porn "addiction") woo-ism? Such an odd thing to see on here.

Anyway, on a technical level, how do you deal with apps like Reddit/Twitter which have tons of porn content without the user leaving for external links that you can block? How do you monitor that?

The article says there are thousands of these cases

It said 250, not thousands.

I'm not sure about the companies but pg's stuff regularly gets criticized on here (even harshly sometimes, I think). Just a few days ago, there was one such story (highly upvoted) on the front page in response to one of pg's essays.
