  1. >the slippery slope fallacy

    I see the slippery slope fallacy-fallacy more than the base fallacy.

  2. Swift 6 is only painful if you wrote a ton of terrible Swift 5, and even then Swift 5 has had modes where you could gracefully adopt the Swift 6 safety mechanisms for a long time (years?)

    ~130k LoC Swift app was converted from 5 -> 6 for us in about 3 days.

  3. We need to apply sanctions, and end all intelligence sharing with the UK until they stop this nonsense.
  4. HN hasn't been a good place for technical discussion in at least 5-6 years, maybe longer.

    X is much better for this kind of stuff these days (just follow the right people and stick to the following tab)

  5. Not in most of the US, but the ones in Alaska can mummify a water buffalo in under 5 minutes.

    Running joke is that the mosquito is "Alaska's state bird"

  6. Only 1500 miles? Obviously they didn't measure it precisely.
  7. Nothing MB has is anywhere close to FXD 13.2.x

    So if the SAE standards don't reflect that, they are poor standards

  8. Today I saw a diesel truck roll coal on anti-tesla protestors.

    We've gone full circle.

  9. >I'm not sure why you want 4k resolution with a 14 inch screen

    You do realize we had 1440p phones in 2015-2016 right?

    HiDPI is not new, and it's clarity amazing. Stop buying huge low res screens for ripoff prices in 2025

  10. I pulled a fresh 20A (120V) circuit just for my 5090 build.
  11. Are you lost? Do you know where you are?
  12. It's a gross miscarriage of justice.

    The gov should have to prove you committed a crime before that information is admissible at sentencing.

  13. Yep. AML and KYC laws are unconstitutional.
  14. Not for long :)
  15. What utter nonsense on behalf of the courts. The "good faith" defense is irrelevant to the finding that a fundamental right was violated, and to deny the original defendant relief like this is just absurd.
  16. Is it really "zero cost in maintenance" if that old code presents attack surface?
  17. >Status page claims all systems are OK (they are not)

    Classic

  18. >He pretty clearly won. There's not much to it. A huge chunk of the company went into open revolt and he got a competing offer that threatened to recruit all of them.

    Yep, talk about an absolute power flex. You don't have to like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

  19. >From what I can gather,

    You're almost certainly listening to loud voices online, who do not reflect majority opinion

  20. A large company has a ton of VPs. They're really not that special at scale, VPs don't fly private etc.
