Wielding the spotlight of your publication as a weapon sounds like an interesting business model too. Like a private detective being payed by a group of subscribers, interested in finding wrongthink.

Given the current climate and the pretty safe assumption that the NYT author knows that the general public would never read through SSC (because the posts are too long and you actually have to make an effort to "consume" that blog) make me suspicious of the "positive" piece.

is jquery even still a thing?

I love the braille visualisation. It‘s amazingly high-def

Second that. I don‘t get it

It‘s mostly an issue with the decision makers at lenovo. Were linux as widespread as a desktop os as windows, it would have happened to linux too.

I‘m not sure this will ever reach the light of day. It follows the same patterns as Eul did, another creation if the same inventor: - plenty of empty links on the website that lead to something ‚coming in march/april/june/...‘ - lots of nice ideas, but nothing to show for it

I wish the creator all the best, but Eul promised a lot, long long ago, and never delivered

What exactly is the unique selling proposition of medium?

I don't get what this is, but it looks amazing!

the eu is really on a streak with counterproductive legislature atm

yes! interactivity is where it is!

Are algos like Adam being used besides deep learning? I always come across Levenberg-Marquardt and Gauss-Newton, but never Adam.

I wonder if this really makes sense. In the long run, C++ will be even more massive than it is now. A hundred ways to do sth. Meanwhile, new, lean, langs jump up all the time: crystal, nim, swift, rust. I wonder how long the momentum can carry C++

awesome, looks like a reboot of Advance Wars. Loved it back in the day

funny, in the recent sam harris interview, jack just couldn‘t get enough of highlighting how twitter enables „conversations“.

In germany the federal bureau of security in IT actually does that. They send the admins an email: https://www.bsi.bund.de/EN/Topics/IT-Crisis-Management/CERT-...

How nice, even a wasm interpreter, that's dandy

totally, I love most of the articles I‘ve read. But all the garbage medium needs to run. Really heavy pageload for a simple thing like blogging

beautiful :)

to me all this end-to-end business sounds too much like marketing. As long as you have to use the clients provided by facebook, it doesn't matter that the chats are end-to-end encrypted.

Facebook controls the clients and as such can do whatever it likes with your chats (or whatever you agreed to)

true. on macos many of the QT and java apps that used to be the norm were a lot worse. clipped buttons, for example.

or pseudo-aqua buttons that were not quite right, uncanny-valley style.

beautiful c++!

> „[this study] finds X“

without actual details on its methodology, a study doesn‘t find anything.

- how are the surveyed chosen? - how do you make sure they are from the country they claim - what possible answers can they chose from - etc.

Beautiful! How long did it take to make this blog post?

probably, but it's not clear that they're not in the right: https://blogs.unity3d.com/2019/01/10/our-response-to-improba...

Wow! That guy is a monster, so much great stuff

Hm, doesn't even seem to be that expensive (ETC $4,996, ETH $107,536) to run a 51% attack: https://www.crypto51.app/

Well, THN is actually about hacking. So if the name is confusing on anyones part, I would more likely be HN.

Phew, my 2013 Macbook is lagging from that page..

Is this as big as it sounds?
