Yeah social skills are a thing you can actively work at and improve, same as any skill. The real joke is, asking for help on Hacker News??

"You must defend Perl vigorously and verbosely" is a fundamental guiding principle of the programming language. See also that one StackOverflow answer which spends north of 3,500 words explaining how "🐪 goes out of its way to make Unicode easy, far more than anything else I’ve ever used", and helpfully includes the 49-line boilerplate script you need to use to make Perl work correctly with Unicode, which, by default, it does not.

xtal posted:I'm with them there, there shouldn't be an explicit skin tone in emojis, that's weird The problem is that "yellow" doesn't unambiguously mean "no possible human skin tone", it pretty much means "white person". See The Simpsons, and Lego people before that. If all emojis had been pale green or pale blue from day one this would have been less of a thing, maybe.

No, you see, it's a meaningless ratio because maintaining the blockchain would consume this much energy even if it were only performing 10 transactions per second globally, it's more like 4

Wait. There's a whole secondary layer of awful HN posts which you're all rooting around in? For content for this thread?

Yeah. And right now, it's easy to lambast Google for having horrible gamed search results, but is it even theoretically possible to create an automated search ranking which can't be gamed? You're trying to outmaneuver the entire tech world.

Best Bi Geek Squid posted:they should simply make dedicated javascript accelerator cards that you put into your computer Don't AMD microprocessors have dedicated instructions for "cast 64-bit floats to 32-bit signed ints, do binary arithmetic, cast the 32-bit signed int result back to 64-bit float", which is how binary operators work on numbers in JavaScript? Or something like that...

man in the eyeball hat posted:is there documentation that is entertaining for the reader? the thought of "fun" documentation just feels like its aiming for the front page of reddit Documentation shouldn't try to be entertaining. It should be informative. People are potentially going to be reading your docs looking for concrete information under very stressful circumstances. It's not a good time to be fooling around.
