What exactly is this number 4000? What does it mean? Where can I read more about this scoring system?
If I could get a directory of active Lisp devs who comment on HN that would be great! Maybe even create a feed out of their comments. Is there any feed of any kind on HN? Even a basic RSS feed could be useful. I could pull the whole feed and filter them out for their comments.
I'd like to be educated here why a big switch statement wouldn't necessarily protect us from these CPU vulnerabilities? Anyone willing to help?
Password managers matching on window titles to decide what password to autofill sounds very dangerous! What password manager is this?
Actual title of article: Local Async Executors and Why They Should be the Default
The title posted to HN: Async rust – are we doing it all wrong?
The title has been fixed now. But yeah it is annoying to see badly editorialized titles. It is against the guidelines -- https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
> Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.

Really? Why this kind of terrible editorializing?
Ask HN: What are some good Readmes you have found?
Is it not? I don't know. I don't run a multi-million dollar business. So this is an honest question. 0.1% of $50 million is a meagre $50000. If someone is running a business that is spending $50 million per year on something, are they really going to care about a small $50k saving per year?
But does it really move the needle anywhere where it matters? If you are serving a million bytes in every response but you manage to trim a single byte from it, I don't think it is going to move the needle anywhere.
Sure it will save a terabyte when you have served a trillion responses. But in a trillion responses you are saving only one terabyte out of an exabyte of responses. That's not much!
What if you need to type "fd" in insert mode? Like fd0, fd1, etc. Isn't that going to be a pain? Do you never have to type "fd"?
What if you need to type `jj`? Not uncommon to do so while writing math or physics papers. a_{jj}
Planning poker creating a sort of prisoner's dilemma is an intriguing thought. Mind explaining a little how it leads to something like prisoner's dilemma. I'd like to grok the connection between the two things.
Depends on the workplace I guess. Haven't seen this where I've worked. quite the opposite. Some managers I've worked with taught me to multiple estimates by 2X before writing it on paper.
After seeing such wilful blatant misrepresentation, forgive me if I'm having difficulty just taking your word for it.
Nobody said they were sockpuppets. Only you are saying that in an attempt to create a strawman and mislead unsuspecting readers. We are not idiots.
The two accounts that were banned for sock-puppeteering were 'i2' and 'thatworkshop'. And you have conveniently omitted these two accounts from your comment. What do you have to say about them? You invited them. And they were sock-puppetting? How do you explain that?
Sock puppet is only one possibility. Other possibility is legit accounts forming a voting ring. You and me cant see voting actions. Mods can.
The mods have access to server access logs. Mods can see who +1-ed whose posts/comments. So if you need evidence for sock-puppetry or voting-ringery, try asking the mods about it. We can only speculate here. I'm only describing what I've found in the wild from my days of moderating (small) forums.
I mean to say that only because you can't see the other accounts posting related posts/comments does not make them any more likely or any less likely to be sockpuppet or voting ring. They may be legit. But they could be a ring. Or they may be legit. Only the mods with the access logs can tell.
I've done moderating work when phpbb forums had their heydey. The clever sockpuppet accounts or voting rings don't start posting about the projects of their main account right from the first day. The clever ones remain dormant, mostly idle, participating in other discussions. They look just like normal accounts.
But much much later when the main account posts a "show project" post, the sockpuppets or voting rings add +1 or post a few words of praise and then move on to commenting on +1-ing other posts.
And voting rings become more difficult to detect when they don't post anything related, post unrelated stuff but quietly upvote the main account's posts/comments.
