Sure, take that stricter immigration control. But if people assume upfront that immigrants are intrinsically the source of problems and it takes stricter and stricter controls to filter them down to only those that bring value, this strengthening of filtering will never end.

Remember that one does not _either_ bring value or cause problems. I expect a typical human being to bring some value and cause some problems at the same time. And you can never measure which one is bigger.

I was wondering why my email verifications are not being delivered, but couldn’t find the system status link on their homepage. Then I came to HN…

Maybe I missed something, but if DATA is given as an array at runtime, is there a way to put it into the type system? And if the result is in type system, is there a way to print it out at runtime without looping through all permutations of the possible characters?

The solution was impressive and fascinating, regardless.

Oh god, I feel sorry for these employees. It’s so disgusting and inhumane to just think about somebody being forced to smile and judged by how good they do that, by a machine!

> while the US is at the forefront of lobotomizing its population with social media

I have to point out that China is, too.

No country is "just looking for ROI", and even if they are, that's not necessarily a good thing.

I think what it meant is that, in the social networks today, you have to behave “consistently” all the time. If you wrote something today and then say the opposite tomorrow, people online would probably attack you for being untrustworthy or something like that, and refuse to accept your points. But in reality, nobody can be consistent all the time. We’re all different from minute to minute, and it’s perfectly natural to change your opinions however often you want.

Lol, typical Chinese propaganda speech I'd say. But just to be fair,

> he led his team to fight for a thousand years

The page you linked to actually said "more than a thousand days and nights", not years.

Even the post isn't using /dev/tcp, but compiled a C file into bash "loadable builtin" (which is something I learned today). It still feels kind of cheating to me tbh.. But cool enough!

The very first time in life that I reported a bug to an OSS project was to Vim, by email to Bram, when I was in high school. Thinking back from now, that was definitely not a good way to report bugs, but Bram was super helpful and responded kindly to this ignorant kid.

Thank you Bram, and RIP.

Very nicely written. Made me feel nostalgic of the faint memories when I was a kid.

Not really the main theme of this article, but I guess I do lack the courage of approaching a woman for her number and asking her out these days. Can't imagine how hard that is in real life.
