Normally, there is no issue with people downvoting stuff on the Internet. But on HN, voting results in karma, which results in rights. Downvoting is therefore taking away rights, and as seen, on the basis of just opinions. Since downvoting itself is a right, opinions on HN are shaped by those that hold power with this right over others. HN is, more than any other place, enforcing its own filter bubble.

> I don't think we can depend on the good nature of people and rationality to ultimately prevail.

least not with the current common education.

its times like these when you ignore the rules

These are pretty cool.

Worth to spend some time turning these into continuous SVG.

Someone started with a no-js site index yet?

Epic picked literally the most vulnerable target audience. That's what made Fortnite a hit.

Its a common trend to use permissive licenses on your own code, and its understandable to do so as good will. But given the described problem, one might be better off with copyleft clauses and other restrictions in order to reduce abuse from big corp.

Maybe the ability to display references should be a feature in your tool?

As for my experience from Blender, you either utilize its UI to display it where you want it or put the references directly into the scene. Its also common for 2D artists to just use layers on the canvas for keeping references.

I feel that "everything is a fullscreen application" is not such a bad idea, as I can't concentrate on more than one thing at a time regardless. The rest is just tabbing.

First try in Vivaldi's private mode got me still a 0.3 . Then I tested it while being logged into Google and it went to 0.9 . However, when I tried it again in private mode, I got 0.9 there too. Temporary fingerprints show quite the effect.

Most argue to switch, because of Google's webRequest API changes in Chromium. Would like to remind you, that its not set in stone yet, especially whether Opera, Vivaldi and Microsoft will follow Google's plan.

I believe, that the way data is structured in Prolog is easier and more flexible than in SQL. Sadly I was busy with other things, so I can't tell for sure how it looks for bigger projects and I haven't tried Datalog yet. But I wouldn't consider SQL as a holy grail, after I run into various issues when dealing with not so relational data.

I'm using IPredator. They give you a dynamic IPv4+v6 address and you can pay with Bitcoin.

The best way to learn computer graphics programming is to first ask what you want to do with it. Most people interested in this topic have some end goal, be it just writing a game. In that case, writing raytracers and rasterizers may just be a waste of time, when the main interest isn't the interworkings of math, but to put something up the screen. For a reasonably wide range of modern tools, its absolutely not necessary to know any deep math to bring to screen what you want.

It is basically impossible to track the source of a hack. China might just as likely never had anything to do with any attack so far.

I think, that is a bad argument, but a good practice. Always have the devs fix their own mistakes, so that they can learn from them.

If you use !bangs, its a duck hunt.

Can't always correlate usage share with performance, especially on things that are extremely hyped.

Wouldn't be a straight Linux distribution the best choice to avoid anything annoying?

It depends to what degree a person or company acted positively on its/their own. Amazon would have never done it, if it wasn't for the immense pressure. So, it is not worth much praise.

Only increased potential cost. It is absolutely unlikely that the EU will fine huge sums for small transgressions, or even fine at all.

I wouldn't have read the article, if I wouldn't procrastinate right now.

The only thing I worry about is high complexity. If its so complicated, that only a few megacorps can implement it, it should be abolished. That would especially mean to scrap most web standard concepts and replace it with more general concepts.

Depends on whether the scale is linear or logarithmic.

I watch streams to socialize, thanks to the chat function. I usually don't care much about the game they play and I only watch streams with less than 30 viewers.

The question boils down to marketing. If a company spends more money on marketing, every rival company will do so too. They are creating jobs, that would cancel each other out.

Industrial synthetic diamond production is around since at least the 80s and from all we know about De Beers, they are certainly not trying to get the price down.

If a software company tells me, that their software is safe, they should be liable in case it isn't.

Most FOSS licenses come with 'without warranty' notice. Businesses, who use it, should know that.
