-Per unit of GDP-, lol. Your children will cook, but at least their bosses will make more money.

Code written below your line gets executed if you don't return early. More breaking news at 8.

Seriously, why would you think that assigning a value would stop your script from executing? Maybe the Typescript example is missing some context, but it seems like such a weird case to present as a "data race".

I really hate that commit message. It is extremely verbose and doesn't allow you to easily understand what was done in the commit in a single sentence or paragraph. It mixes a very narrative explanation in there that is hard to skim. It is in desperate need of a clear TLDR version.

If you really like the descriptive, verbose message, then the most important description should be at the top and it should gradually go into less interesting details as you read down, like in a news article.

The problem with this definition is

> Utilizes addictive, harmful, or deceptive design features, or any other feature that is designed to cause an account holder to have an excessive or compulsive need to use or engage with the social media platform.

Many platforms can argue that they're not engaging in this behavior. Do Mastodon and Lemmy count as addicting? They look like Twitter and Reddit on the surface, but they don't have a sorting algorithm that maximizes for engagement. So would they be included in the definition or not?

And if they don't, what's stopping big companies from claiming the same, since you can't actually see their source code for news feed sorting?

Everyone and their grandmother knows that the video is public domain now. How is it possible that Disney and Youtube don't? How are people so incompetent calling the shots?

I was very skeptic before I tried it, I had the same concerns as you. And before I realized, I had dumped 100+ hours into it.

Can confirm this is a bullshit theory. Eating beef and eggs did not help my depression years ago. In fact, going vegan has had a positive impact on my mental health.

There are way more trash discussions here on HN every day that don't get flagged. But it does show where the bias in HN lies.

Is this missing an /s at the end?

I do believe in the power of technology to make a better world. That's why a venture capitalist using it for profit and then writing a manifesto about how virtuous it is, is the sort of disgusting corruption that makes me skeptic about technology.

But hackernews is the perfect venue to get some minor support from techbros that have grown accustomed to this rat race.

Is there some way to get involved in this to make sure it doesn't happen?

Right, let's just leave it to the free market to make the transition when economically viable. The invisible hand has been working great so far in preventing a global ecosystem catastrophe. /s

I was always skeptical of these fancy new vehicles with shiny electronics. I'm glad I still drive a 15 year old car and a 10 year old motorcycle where the most advanced tech is ABS.
