They laugh about. See they at least know they live in an oppressive regime with heavy political censorship, while people in the West, such as Americans, live under similar conditions, but are deluded into thinking they're free.

And most of them are content with it.

No Windows support is more of a feature than a downside.

Yeah man, drinking coffee is totally the same as doing drugs. If only the rest of the society could see that.

Here's my wild prediction for the 21st century: before 2050, China will replace its one child policy with a "you have to be at least this tall to ride" policy - only people with a genetic "score" of X or higher are allowed to reproduce. Every couple of years, X is bumped up, and the next generation is a bit smarter, prettier, and stronger than the previous one.

While marijuana is a dangerous drug that ought to be illegal, this has all signs of a moral panic.

Mentioning the "free market" in any other context than a joke will make most people not take your post seriously.

Completely ordinary description of a perfectly unremarkable C API, what's the big deal?

I've seen this "argument from big numbers" lots of times and it's unconvincing. The large number of planets in the universe means nothing if none of them have Earth-quality conditions, or if it's purposefully kept empty, or if the probability of life arising is too small even given the large number of planets.

On one hand, great, useful, and very pretty. On the other hand this reinforces the use of such antiquated and hacky concepts as clearfixes, or floats for layout.

Also, the ellipsis truncation is very tricky to pull off. The parent element needs to be a block if I remember correctly.

Life _could_ exist anywhere, even in deep space, but apparently it doesn't. You could probably interpret some behaviours of neutron stars as life.

I admire the human drive to solve the cosmic puzzle, find something bigger and more meaningful than us, but so far it looks like there is only one place in the Universe that has life. And even planets with relatively favourable conditions like Mars are dry, lifeless husks devoid of any, even the simplest lifeforms.

Look at it in another way - they want somebody to work for them, you can provide this service. It's a business agreement, not some mercifully offered gift. Both sides want something from the other. The sooner we stop thinking about jobs in terms of servitude, the better off we'll all be as employees.

So by default I block all javascript and I got this message:

"Sorry internet hipster, this little side project requires JavaScript."

These kinds of condescending messages towards people concerned with privacy aren't going to win you any points here.

In addition to my other projects, I've also added the code of all HackerRank problems I've solved to a repository on Github. I link that profile whenever I look for a job. This way the recruiters have an abundant source of code samples they can look at when making their decisions.

The title is misleading - the shader does not implement the original Wolfenstein rendering engine, it's an experiment in generating textures inside the code.

Thanks for this link, looks like all the emails in my domain are safe.

A very old email I've used a long time ago has been involved in 7 breaches and 1 paste. None of these passwords have been valid for years though.

There should be a way to check entire domains, outside of known public email providers. I use a different email address for every website I use and a catch-all rule on my domain to redirect them all to a single email account. I won't check them all simply because I don't even remember them all. I know this could have the downside of being useful in email address enumeration though.

I wrote and published two papers while working on my bachelor's degree, so it is definitely possible.

Unless I'm using a content blocker and can watch the "content" without accepting intrusive ads and profiling, then it's on my terms.

I can live without the "content". If the "content" is made by somebody who thinks creating "content" on the internet is a viable substitute for a day job and advertisements are an acceptable way of making money, then I would prefer they rather create no "content" at all.

Makes one wish we'd get closer to 100% adblock coverage...

>Really stood out to me - if anyone needed further evidence that Google is still an ad company, and that the free services are about driving ad traffic.

97% of their income is through ads. Maps, Docs, email, Google Plus, Youtube, even Search - it all exists only to increase advertisement profits, and to get ever more minable data from the users. If the ads money ever dries up for whatever reason, the entire company goes belly up.

I'm interested if a free spot at the top of hacker news hot articles will end up being better in terms of advertisement than spending ~$14k on youtube ads.

What's the point of putting this on Github when there's no source code available? Many people won't trust arbitrary code from a random user enough to run it on their machines.

The bad guys _did_ get it first. If Germany or Japan developed it first, they would be sure to go down as the "good guys" in the history textbooks, and you'd be on hackernews wondering how awful it would be if the demonic United States of America developed it first.

I want to see autonomous companies that would be completely governed by AI systems and would choose by themselves what to invest in, what facilities to build and where, what to manufacture, who to employ, where to expand, and so on. Corporations already have legal personhood in American law.

The videogame Shenzhen I/O already explored a similar concept superficially.

I've always been amazed that a proprietary engine with unclear rules and unavailable source code is the dominant source of news for the hacker community. Although it is designed better than reddit, unpopular opinions are still punished, which can stifle discussion and results in users self-moderating themselves and preventing themselves, even subconsciously, from expressing certain opinions from fear of downvoting.

Many of those undocumented behaviours are described with speculation - why don't we have a clear image of the capabilities and inner workings of Hacker News available anywhere? Security by obscurity?

Brevity is the soul of wit.
