Or maybe you pipe into xargs and pray your filenames don’t have spaces

So they wrote a new tool and posted it on HN before checking the manual about null character termination... Not trustable at all, what a waste of time!

This Italian here has never heard nothing like that. Tomato sauce can be simmered for several hours, but there is no refill.

The author is confusing visitors with customers. Refusing entry to 2% visitors? No, no! Forgetting about non-interesting 2% visitors? Not even a blink!

Luminosity, not power!

This issue here isn't surveillance as per a signed warrant. I don't think anybody's really arguing against that.

Everybody who talks about cryptography is arguing about that! With the digital technology we have, the options are very simple: either every man in the middle can read (even the villain), or nobody can (not even the justice departments). There's no middle ground.

every time someone wandered a week by feet from home

Remote privacy means that you don't have to move from home.

or sent a letter

Which anybody could just intercept and read.

Famous authors published for a whole lifetime under pseudonyms.

But someone had to know who they were and where they lived, and they could be convinced to share such information.

You see, when someone talks about "the governments" without realising that they do represent the people in a democracy, their ignorance show so much that it is difficult for them to attract any sympathy in those places where the laws are discussed.

And any phone could be tapped with a signature by a judge.

I am always surprised that people get shocked when online privacy is put at risk, as if it was a fundamental human right.

REMOTE PRIVACY NEVER EXISTED BEFORE A FEW DECADES AGO!

And what happened in these decades are enough for the societies to wonder whether this new possibility in human connections (i.e. remote privacy) is globally a good thing. Just stomping your feet because the new toy may be declared illegal is not helping anyone. Governments are expressing serious doubts: this discussion needs serious interventions, not temper tantrums.

Need more than 64KB? Allocate two blocks.

How is that compatible with an array and a simple implementation of the index operator?

Say what you want, but a law that lets you pretend that the value of a building is based on what you ask, rather than what you can actually obtain, is a stupid law.

That's as stupid as it is old. Locals would do it for a proper salary. But the same locals do not want to pay the proper salary!

Turn the brain on from time to time!

Which is what thay should be in any sane environments. LLMs can be wonderful tools, but they cannot be trusted.

Display a warning and propose to edit instead of blocking the operation: your customers will be happier!

Why did they give it any of that?!

Because they are idiots. You need to be a freaking idiit to trust AI.

Spending time on your hobby is wondwerful. Expecting the world to consider your hobby important is arrogant.

You may substitute StackOverflow with Quora and your answer would not get less valid.

Also, people confuse "good" with "ought to live forever". It's time to leave BSD and LISP in the history books.

devastating for someone with a loan

Sorry, I can't understand why. Could you please expand a bit?

I don't get how decreasing the value of the building makes the loan more difficult to repay.

some things are just not possible to do right

If git doesn't let you do them "right", your concept if "right" is wrong.

All the comments I've been able to read are missing the elephant in the room: no high-quality entropy source can turn a "should" into a "must".

If you want something that is difficult to guess, ask the cryptography guys. But if you need something that is -_guaranteed_ unique, you must build it yourself.

I keep stating proudly to any team mate and any manager that I've never ever needed a board to know what I had to work on.

If you want it to be pronounced "sh", just write it "sh".

Which part of "mathematical operations don’t reset the NaT bit" did you not understand?

if it fails, it is only considered evidence that you were not doing it enough.

20 years ago, this was the meme about XML.

More seriously, this was also the answer about Communism.

"We will do x and y as a compromise but not z"

This reminds a lot of this: "I'm going to try this extremely difficult pastry recipe at home, but I'll use margarin insted of butter because <idiot reason> and a teasponn of stevia instead of the prescribed 200 g of sugar for <another idiot reason>."

Wake me up when a heavily industrialized country will be in the list, thanks!

Hello, could you please elaborate about those laws?

you now can annihilate them [...] from a comfortable distance

The problem is: they can, too.

Muons are not stable, thus you cannot tear them off matter as you'd do with electrons. And they have a mass of 105 MeV each, which means you need a nice particle accelerator to create a few of them.

Furthermore, if you want (most of) them to fly in a particular direction, you need to scale that accelerator up.
