Drones can fly very long distances. Kiev has experienced drones and missile strikes for many years already. This is nothing new. Russia's army is nowhere near Kiev.

Can you think of a bug that makes sense in this case?

IRC is not social media. But otherwise agree.

Admittedly, this is a much more interesting answer than just "13"

The games industry is terrible. But he's still a kid and can learn making games for the sake of making games. I suggest to look at https://ludumdare.com/ and other game jams. That's a good way to get experience and have fun in the process.

The internet would be a lot poorer, if all users had to be identified. I really appreciate it when people tell their personal stories and talk about how they have overcome crises. Anonymity empowers people to help others by sharing life lessons. Those same life lessons would be very harmful for the reputation of the internet user, if they had to be posted with the user's real name.

Not everyone has a life that is all sunshine. Not every use of anonymity is criminal or unethical.

Also: Good users can be more easily harassed, because they use their real name.

Facebook and other services are happy reading your private chats as well.

I read the tweet several times but there is so much context missing, that the tweet itself is not enough.

This article explains the controversy and the mathematical problem much better than the tweet and toots: https://www.science.org/content/article/how-ai-math-breakthr...

AI is also trained on your HN posts. And lots of other things you post on the internet.

He evaded interactions with the crowd completely. That's not the same as walking around them.

> Suppose for the sake of argument you did not vote for Donald Trump, would it not be stressful if no one told you in advance that a group of Trump supporters are protesting against the “unfair” votes right in front of you?

No. There will most likely be a way to get around or through the crowd. The article talks about a protest and not an angry mob.

> Sometimes you just don’t want politics in your life and just want the equivalent of boring suburbs.

At this point AI is a highly political topic and people turn up at a protest, specially because they can't avoid the negative effects of AI in their personal lives.

> “That extra hour was critical. Without it our executives would have departed their meetings, they would have ran right into the heart of the disruption.”

> [..] “What could have been a high-stress situation,”

Democratic protest is now a high-stress situation?

> which is a country with very little street crime, grafitti, vandalism etc.

and a lot of human rights violations

> The UK for example is also a monarchy, which would rial up people in the US if proposed there.

I'm not so sure about that: https://www.newsweek.com/white-house-donald-trump-king-time-...

That's an outlier. Most works don't see so much public interest after such a long time.

Not to discount the experiences that other have, but the site loads fine for me.

Naive question: How important is it to use a CDN in the first place? Why can't you just serve the content yourself?

You mean via attestation? If the company that you work for requires you to use a device-bound key, then they should also issue you a FIDO hardware token.

> Want to make 5 versions of the same commit? Easy

When do you need something like this?

They might not be idiots, but I am afraid that many of them are politically illiterate. How else would you explain that Donald Trump became president again?

git doesn't force conflict resolution earlier. It forces conflict resolution the moment you pull changes from upstream. jj allows you to go back to the first conflicting commit and then fix things there. That first conflicting commit is most likely a lot more similar to the upstream code than your newest commit and therefore it is easier to fix.

> But I would much prefer a "An application is a directory and by default cannot access anything outside of that directory" approach.

That makes sense if the application is the only program that needs to interact with the data. For example: If you have a drawing or photo editing program. You might have downloaded an image from the internet or from your camera. Then you make some edits. Afterwards you want to send the image to someone else via e-mail, which is another program.

Comments explain why the design is the way it is. If you later need to refactor the code, you probably won't remember the reasoning behind it and you don't know if it will be safe to remove or change parts of the design.

RSS still works. But it doesn't offer writing comments like twitter/mastodon. Depending on the use-case this might be desired though.

That doesn't mean that it's not viable for posting public announcements

> are all posting their updates on X - because, like the users, they have no choice, because no alternative exists.

The fediverse is a viable alternative. But most non-tech people don't know about it.

And it's probably going to be a lot more inefficient. See the rise of electron-based software.

A hyperlink to Wikipedia would have solved that issue.
