No, if you've read the Garth Ennis run of The Punisher then you would know that cops wearing punisher shirts is completely misunderstanding the character.

Like a lot of people, you have an idea of the character which is not the definitive version of the character.

If you read the Punisher and you come away from it thinking that vigilantism, murder and so forth is good then there is probably something very wrong with you.

This seems a step closer to the embeddable postgres I've wanted for ages.

I would like to point out that one of the important reasons South African didn't descend into a race war at the end of the apartheid was the formation of the Truth & Reconciliation Committee for precisely this reason: to forgive and reconcile.

As a South African it's wild to me that just over 30 years ago Mandela warned of the dangers of this way of thinking and yet here we are...

Things are always about to go nuts and yet mostly they don't seem to...

Ah yes, just what the world needs, more soul-less art

Imagine trying to promote reproductive rates while censoring sexual activity...

Ah yes, a bunch of rather totalitarian societies as the model to strive for, great jumping off point.

GraphQL was something I disliked on sight.

Nice way to get on HN.

Post a daft hot take.

Ah yes, functional programming is indeed so much simpler.

I'll just use a Kleisli

XD

Innocent or not I woke up this morning after the last one died down to see a new fake MR on the same repo.

It's trolling and childish trolling at that.

I've run into the import issue as well, it's especially painful if something imported is doing work using a slow library (e.g. a config module loading a HOCON config using pyhocon a.k.a slowasmolasseshocon)

This seems like a lot of effort for little value.

I think there is a pretty key difference which is pretty obvious.

Said obvious difference being the near real-time interactive nature of social media.

And yet if a hundred million people tried to use it the way you do, the whole system would implode.

A monetary system that only works if a small number of people use it is...not useful.

I must confess I haven't noticed a huge difference... although that's mostly because I tend to watch from the channels I'm subbed to a not much else.

Cool technical marketing blog story bro

This reminded me of a video I watched recently about the most common form of cheating in Magic: The Gathering: stacking the deck.

The video, by NuxTaku, did a great job of explaining how this method of randomizing the deck actually leads to a distribution which is uniform rather than random and which in turn is effectively cheating.

I haven't played MTG since the early 2000s but the video struck a chord with me because I remembered using this method and not even thinking about it (in my defence, I was a teenager) as being a problem.

So yeah, reading this article I was instantly like "er....yeah...don't ask people to make random sequences because they often have an incorrect idea of what that actually means".

Sounds more like a good way to get your product banned from a lot of workplaces.

Shiny gold also has the benefit of being something you can stuff in a sock and hit clobber cryptobros with ;-)

Try that trick with some digital currency :-)

Indeed. I've come across a dead letter application that has been around for ages and I'm pretty sure it doesn't use crypto.

Honestly, using crypto for something like seems a bit nuts, like using a jackhammer to destroy a cardboard box.

As someone born and raised in South Africa that lived there until the end of 2019 I really wish people would stop comparing Israel to the old government in ZA.

The Israeli government definitely does a ton of problematic stuff that is objectively awful but it's just not quite the same as what the old government in my country used to do.

I am sure I will get downvoted for this, but the situation with Israel/Palestine is not quite the same as what existed in South Africa for a significant chunk of the 20th century. That doesn't mean it's a nice situation but really, I just would prefer it if people would stop trying to weld one shitty piece of history to another one to try and create this weird equivalency between the two.

Your 4k monitor?

That would not help. The reason proton works so well is because Linux on x86 and Windows on x86....are both on x86.

Proton on ARM Mac's would involve Rosetta and while that does a surprisingly good job of running x86 on ARM I'm not sure it's up to the job of running games at high speed...

Android apps are also hideously bloated.

It's kinda disgusting really.

Careen != Career

Did he get paid in real money or monopoly money?

I'm 38 and on something like 50 discord servers.

I'm only really super active on two or three of them though.

You don't need to absorb everything on every server and their are plenty of ways to control what notifications you get.

I don't think making a vague claim that it's for young people only is useful.

Man...I wish I had $500k in savings.

Kinda amusing to see someone complaining about not having achieved anything despite this.
