From your cold — dead, in fact — hands?

I’m struggling to understand how you’ve put pride flags and death threats in the same category of “extremely divisive”.
I see others have asked the same question, but you don’t seem to have the courage to respond.
What’s divisive about a pride flag?
I struggle to believe you don't understand what they mean. There is many a homophobe in the world. GP isn't saying homophobia is good, simply that espousing a pro-LGBT viewpoint may upset people. Maybe they deserve to be upset, but that doesn't change that it may become your problem.

Why does that link redirect to a fart sound hosted on Wikipedia?
The author doesn't like HN.
There are some 10minutemail / trashmail providers out there who provide .edu emails - great to get benefits which are only for students free, but sucks for everbody who is implementing these platforms to get those benefits because they can't just check if the domain ends on .edu but rather need to validate against a common list of valid universities...
Given the list of non-university .edu domains is static (or even decreasing assuming some expire), couldn't you keep a list of those instead?

The first thing I checked was how hashing is implemented and two things stand out to me:
1. Input must be valid UTF-8. 2. stdin is read to EOF instead of being read incrementally
Neither are ideal and can make ut unfit for a fair few use cases.
I recently launched Libre
, a small side project and social experiment. It’s not a social network, but kind of the opposite:
No profiles, usernames, or followers
No likes, trending topics, or algorithms
No ads, no data collection
Just anonymous thoughts from people around the world. Curious to see how it evolves and what kind of conversations happen when metrics are removed.
Did you vibe code this by any chance? It's clearly insecure.
Oh, yes, you did: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44656840

I found a pretty cool 80kb docker image that is just a copy of busybox httpd, which makes creating a docker image out of static files very simple.[0]
heavensteeth commented on Using Podman, Compose and BuildKit emersion.fr/blog/2025/usi... · Posted by u/LaSombra
I tried Podman on my messing around VPS but quickly reverted to rootless Docker.
The straw that broke the camels back was a bug in `podman compose` that funnily enough was fixed two hours ago[1]; if `service1` has a `depends_on` on `service2`, bringing down `service1` will unconditionally bring down `service2`, even if other services also depend on it. So if two separate services depend on a database, killing one of them will kill the database too.
Another incompatibility with Docker I experienced was raised in 2020 and fixed a few months ago[2]; you couldn't pass URLs to `build:` to automatically pull and build images. The patch for this turned out to be a few lines long.
I'm sure Podman will be great once all of these bugs are ironed out, but for me, it's not quite there yet.

It isn't - using cards, with fees, is cheaper than cash. I realized that when shops started to refuse cash (even if cash is legal tender and they, by law, _have_ to accept cash). The argument? Cash is too expensive.
> even if cash is legal tender and they, by law, _have_ to accept cash
this is not true as it is not what "legal tender" means. Legal tender is something that the government must accept as payment, not private enterprise.
> Businesses don’t have to accept cash.[0]
> There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services.[1]
