user205738··on Farewell, Rust for web
Why not Angilar? React and Angular are not worth comparing directly, but why not use Angular for the web interface?
user205738··on Closing this as we are no longer pursuing Swift adoption
It is not backward compatible, the library system is immature, and there is no variety of different compilers for the language.
user205738··on The Perils of ISBN
Your question has already been answered, but you considered the option of specifying several ISBNs, a description of the book, a link to the website with this edition, the publisher, and a note with details of the book's format (hardcover, soft cover, etc.)

Personally, I have never had all these indicators match in any book. It also allows you to find a very specific publication using a semantic search, specifying a combination of tags/publisher/formats.

I am in favor of kicking children, teenagers, and people with vulnerable minds and mental illnesses off the Internet.

Then you won't have to make the decisions that most people suffer from.

And what is the positive effect here? This gives rise to escalation, harms the environment, and doesn't really help end the war.

That's exactly what you hear from longevity experts.

But they really won't tell you anything useful.

> Do you think it's socially acceptable to ignore everything that doesn't affect you personally?

Yes, yes, and yes again.

> Many activists would certainly have you think otherwise. As far as I can tell, fighting that habit is a huge goal of activism.

That's their problem. As soon as you start contributing to them, you will not pursue your own goals, living your own life, but those imposed by activists or their supervisors.

It's convenient for them, you give them a political resource. But why do you need it?

user205738··on Disaster planning for regular folks (2015)
There is a significant difference.

Nothing will change for an ordinary person now.

At that time, the Genplan OST implied the almost complete extermination and the enslavement of a small number of the remaining people.

And also going back to the second part of the top commentary. At that time, people had a great motivation to defend their homeland and their loved ones. The survival of the country and the survival of the people in it were inextricably linked.

The current conflict has no such connection. The existence or cessation of the existence of the state is not related to the existence of people in it. Many of whom found life in a completely different country.

There were already volunteers, mercenaries, those who fell for a good salary. Why force those who actively avoid it?

They're definitely alarmists. In my environment, people are either neutral or positive about the workings of neural networks.

The reason is that they don't read articles critical of AI, and they don't even know about the existence of forums like reddit, for example.

user205738··on IPv6 is not insecure because it lacks a NAT
I always disable ipv6 on all devices first because there is no point in using it.
user205738··on Disaster planning for regular folks (2015)
Come back to this comment in a few years and think about whether something significant has changed for those people who did not sacrifice their lives for a meaningless battle.

People are more important than the state. If they are not ready to defend him, why should they be forced? You can offer money or other valuables in return, such as fame, a pension, or a position, but if a person doesn't want to, why should they do it?

You read the title and go to discuss about it in the comments.

No one has time to follow the links and watch something there.

user205738··on Microsoft May Have Created the Slowest Windows in 25 Years with Windows 11
I totally agree with you, just yesterday I edited a document in Microsoft word and opened the second document for comparison. Suddenly, the first document froze and when I closed the program, I did not see the changes that I had made before. After complaining about my life, I started anew, and only the next time I downloaded Word offered me a recovery option.

It's not such a difficult task to set up hyprland. And niri doesn't even need to be configured, the default configuration performs all the required tasks.
user205738··on A faster heart for F-Droid
Disappointed in HN because of these comments
user205738··on Google is dead. Where do we go now?
I tried to start using Reddit. None of my friends had ever heard of it or wanted to use it, and I soon lost interest in it.

From my little experience of using it, it seems that its main audience is the mentally retarded or just children under 11 years old.

The same questions are asked all the time. It wasn't difficult for me to find a search on the site for why they don't use it?

There is a lot of nonsense in the comments/answers, which they state with full confidence.

And there was also a feeling that there are rarely disagreements in discussions, even if there are minor differences, everyone adheres to a single line, often related to the topic/name of the subreddit.

I found several people creating content that I was interested in, but some of the posts on the page were hidden and it was easier to follow them on YouTube or blogs.

In general, searching for valuable posts or comments is like digging through manure to find gold.

And even if you find a clever idea or a good technical hint, it was often easier to find it just by reading the documentation. It's the same with interesting posts. If it's something worthwhile, then it will be on twitter, blog, YouTube, social networks or in some forums.

I'm not talking about advertising every second post, or even among the comments. Disabling ad blocking was a mistake.

> it's representative of an insular clubhouse with some small rooms in the backyard for 'normies.'

A very appropriate definition. It's not even interesting to discuss something on Reddit. If your opinion or thought coincides with the ideology of the subreddit, then you will have a lot of likes. If it don't match, you get dislikes, insults, or worse, no response.

In general, I did not find any benefit for myself on Reddit and I am unlikely to return there, it is a waste of energy and effort.

user205738··on Google removes Sci-Hub domains from U.S. search results due to dated court order
I did not ignore it, my comments are really based on the material of this article, I only pointed out that such a source is Russian news, in which RFA is Chinese news.

Unfortunately, from your next comment (you've collected a whole bingo there) I realized that I might have wasted my time on you.

This level of concern is corrected only if you want it yourself, no one from the outside can help you.

My statement that you can safely search for the necessary information on Yandex remains valid.

For example, you can make it illegal to create ciphers longer than a certain value or not use the magic constants specified in the NSA specification in your algorithm.

user205738··on Google removes Sci-Hub domains from U.S. search results due to dated court order
The Moscow Times has the same relationship to Moscow as the RFA has to Chinese news. This is a propaganda mouthpiece, thepurpose the purpose of which is to engage in cherrypicking, finding isolated cases and making a big deal out of a molehill.

If it's also going to be against Russia, it would be great.

>"found Glukhikh guilty and imposed a fine of 3,000 rubles ($38)."

"Glukhikh, who did not attend his sentencing hearing, has denied his guilt."

And also:

"FSB officer noticed Glukhikh searching for extremist content while riding next to him on the bus"

  That is, an employee of the services saw a search for a banned organization engaged in the murder of Russians and the Russian-speaking population of Ukraine and reported it. 

  You must admit that this is not the same as just looking for information on Yandex.

  And the parental comment refers specifically to the Yandex search, and not to isolated cases when an FSB agent suddenly stands behind you.

 Keep in mind that millions of Russians search for information about VPN and the rest every day, openly discuss it on social networks and do not receive any punishment for it.

An article with a paywall. There is nothing important in the free part, it is intentionally stretched, there is a lot of chatter and common words without any useful information.
