But these days, PulseAudio just works. No one has come up with a good alternative. Especially not one with the same features and level of integration. Couldn't it be that audio is just not that easy to get right, and Pulse is taking th

You clearly misunderstood my post. It may have been badly phrased. What I meant isn't "don't share it". I meant "get it right before you share it". I'd have thought the fact I spent a significant amount of

This is pretty badly done. Dear freddiearch, it's ok if you know that it's low-quality and no real effort has gone into it (as you yourself have said), but then please don't post it on HN and waste everyone elses time. Notes&

However, in the vast majority of cases, only the US perspective is given, and no one complains then. There is a lot more documentation about the Vietnam war that is from the US' perspective than from Viet Cong. Which is precisely wha

What do you expect him to do? The fear of being extradited to the USA and sentenced to death or locked up forever for Wikileaks-related things is quite reasonable. What would you do? Wikileaks has so far fulfilled its purpose really well.

So can you occupy rooms in more than one location at the same time? No? Then it's just a really expensive room with high booking/cancellation flexibility and customer lock-in (you won't pick another room in a city if you&#x27

You're right about RedHat, sorry. .bash_history says I accidentally added `-f` on that host. I should have just checked with `which` instead of trying it out. Oops.

But that doesn't actually exist by default, and so it's not a good example. A better example is that `/` is a special case for `rm`. (Besides: I'm not a fan of `rm -i`, precisely because it's non-default. You'l

The second largest European IT-related conference is FOSDEM (5000 participants); of course it has a different focus. But it's more productivity, less party. Then there are conferences like HITB Sec Conf that are much smaller, but focus

You have never organized a moderate or large conference. Your list doesn't even cover all major areas. No logistics? No electricity, network and video recording? None of the legally-required (depending on venue + number of attendees) p

Unemployment benefits just aren't like basic income. At all. 1. They're barely enough to feed yourself and pay for rent, if even. Nothing more. 2. The authorities keep you busy filing paperwork and sending applications for awful j
