I’d prefer my ATC has a cup of coffee if they want it.

Aside from that, what does what happens in their off hours matter provided they’re coming to work sober?

This is nonsense, it’s obvious what type of safety OP meant. I have no idea what could be irresponsible about not including contrived, ridiculous scenarios.

It’s like saying he also should have accounted for the possibility fairies will turn you into a newt if you edit a gene, or into a rabbit, or if a wizard will turn you into a newt. You can make up an infinite amount of this bs.

Those tend to fall out of the “active use” category not long after entering it, so it’s probably not a big factor.

On a more serious note, had there been something special about SQLite supporting military use of their project that prompted this? Otherwise that’s the point of free software, people are free to do (mostly) whatever they want with it. Including building weapons. SQLite is so prevalent, it’s almost like pointing out you have to include cruise missiles in the count of active x86 chips, or $insert_bad_guy as an active user of roads and electricity.

As a 20%er who worked on this it’s a bit discouraging to see such a shallow dismissal. A lot of people put in a lot of work as a passion project to keep matrix from just disappearing.

Can’t win em all I guess.

Very impressive. One cool thing you can further do to improve perceived speed potentially at the expense of some bandwidth is to begin to preload pages when a link is hovered. There are a couple of libraries that will do this for you.

It can shave 100 - 200 ms off the perceived load time, and since your site is already near or below that threshold it might end up feeling like you showed the page before anyone even asked for it.

> We're all closer to being millionaires than Jeff Bezos.

This is true in terms of orders of magnitude, but gets hilariously true when looking at the absolute numbers.

The difference in wealth of a homeless person and a (barely) millionaire is about a million ($1,000,000).

The difference in wealth of that millionaire and Jeff Bezos is about a Jeff Bezos ($138,999,000,000).

Similarly in Typescript, it seems like most of my code reviews consist of just telling people not to override null checking.

Adding a ! suppresses an error from the compiler, it doesn't fix an error in your code!

Not to mention every comment dpower has made is on a post related to Hiri. Maybe HN should just explicitly allow and tag accounts made to promote a company. It makes sense that people who create products want to talk about them, and they can certainly have valuable advice or insights. That might give them a platform to share more without people feeling there's some hidden motive.

Don't take this as me wanting it to happen, but what would it take for the decision to be made to kill these monkeys, and who would make it?

Is there a state or federal agency that's ever determined an animal to be a threat to people in an area to the degree that they then tried to wipe it out? Does it matter that the monkeys got put here because some company thought tourists would like them?

This is common, or at least, I've definitely had my parents do this for me, and I know my friends have too.

The logic is as follows: I need to be up early, my parents always get up early, and my alarm almost always works. If I have both to wake me up, there's a good chance I won't accidentally sleep in.
