It's less "good guy with a gun" and more "some random country with a small to medium army". Access to violence doesn't democratize on the individual level, but as the parent comment alludes to weapons changes allowed peasant armies to defeat trained knights, changing the structure of society.

You personally might not be able to exploit open AI fully, but there are lots of countries and orgs that could. Remember millions of dollars is loose change in the defense context.

This comment section has proven you right. HN: We don't tolerate mindless repetitive criticism of programming languages, we do tolerate mindless repetitive criticism of people.

(I'm referring to the manual reduction of the rank of an article mocking go)

FYI the international building code has a deceptive name. It's essentially the US building code.

> it is the International Building Code ... used in multiple locations worldwide, including the 15 countries of the Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM), Jamaica, and Georgia. Furthermore, the IBC has served as the basis for legislative building codes in Mexico, Abu Dhabi, and Haiti, among other places.

A mayor isn't a bureaucrat by most definitions.

Webster:

Bureaucrat: A member of a bureaucracy

Bureaucracy: a large group of people who are involved in running a government but who are not elected

This is mostly correct. Git's core object model is snapshots, which can then optionally be compressed. That should be transparent though.

I'm surprised that works, iirc pdf isn't defined in order and can't be parsed streaming

Rust has a zero-runtime-cost Option<T>. Presuming T is a non-nullable pointer it compiles to something that uses the nullpointer to store the None varient. (This isn't a special-case for Option in the compiler, this optimization applies to any two-varient enum where one varient can store a pointer and the other varient stores nothing).

An Option<T> is literally a pointer to T with some compile-time semantics. Which part of the memory model is hard to reason about?

Edit: Nevermind, I forgot this is only of T is a reference. Otherwise it's layed out like a normal enum.

That wouldn't help much. For example, with read/write access to your banking website a malicious extension could inject a script tag that exfiltrated data to their server.

Reward your high-karma team members with Amazon gift cards or a day off ... guess that could never be exploited?

No just focus. And I've run into issues even if I don't expand anything. Around 40% of pages have a point below which I can't scroll (I'm jumped to the top of the page if I try). And then there's the unspecified error you get on around 60% of page loads that requires a refresh to fix.

Makes sense. I'll definitely be looking into your product, it seems quite useful.

No problem. I see it now on desktop but not mobile.

I like your privacy policy. It's reasonably easy to read, has a nice chart, and makes nice sounding promises.

Why don't you link to it from your home page? I had to do a Google site search to find it. (And maybe even put the 'what we share' chart somewhere more prominent)

I think they're referring to the switch from a one time payment to a subscription. Everyone who bought at the one-time price got to keep their desktop application forever. You're apparently asking for a web application to keep working after you stop paying, which I find different.

For example, AWS China and Azure Operated by 21Vianet (official name of Azure China) are operated independently by Chinese companies, and have incomplete integrations with the rest of their services, because of how hard Chinese govt compliance is. And GCP only has a location in Hong Kong, which means Chinese users can mostly access it but it's unreliable https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/migration/issues/649

This gives Alibaba a huge advantage domestically.

It's trivially verifiable (I still switch between using Jetbrains and Emacs, not a dealbreaker for me).

Here's a press release on their website:

> In 2019, two eight-story towers known as Space became the new home of JetBrains in Saint Petersburg.

> The largest of our company offices is located on the bank of the Neva River, with a panoramic view looking out over the Gulf of Finland.

> IntelliJ Labs Co. Ltd. Primorsky pr., 70/1 Saint Petersburg 197374, Russia

If you keep tabs open for days and don't open them, like me, you might want to try a tab suspending extension. There's noticable lag when I open a tab I haven't opened in hours, but my FF on Ubuntu is fine with ~100 open tabs.

Interesting. I was discussing hypothetical possibly better arrangements, however, it's clear from the original article that the GSA doesn't currently operate this way.
