He mentions in the article that he's testing with DigitalOcean VPSs, so he's using VMs with only a single core allocated.

Note that this post was submitted to HN by a co-founder of PIA, and they've been known to stir the pot a bit in the past. Last year they put out a few accusations against NordVPN and ProtonVPN that were very weakly supported.

The OP here is a co-founder of PIA, and IIRC he was behind a lot of the ProtonVPN and NordVPN controversy that is being cited in the link he provided. So basically, he's providing proof that he created a year ago.

Ah, thanks for explaining that. I'm more used to Reddit where re-posting links is more common but also more frowned upon, so I'm still unfamiliar with the culture here.

I wasn't using HN back in 2015 (let alone in 2009) so I'm glad this was re-submitted. It's been more than 4 years which is sufficient time for new users or for people to come back to it with new opinions.

It really depends on what languages/frameworks you use. A lot of common languages have package support in the standard repos for Ubuntu-based distros, and the command line is more of a first-class citizen in Linux environments than in

The game MHRD (MicroHard) offers the same content, but in an interactive environment. I haven't gone much into it yet so I don't know how the end content compares to Nand2Tetris, but a lot of people say they're different met

This is definitely the norm in the US. Maybe it's not quite 3 full months, closer to 2 1/2, but there's a long enough gap that time is wasted refreshing information from the previous year.

My dad actually refuses to read anything good anymore because he doesn't think he has the self control to avoid binging on series. For most people though, they read slowly enough that instead of watching 15 episodes of a show in a row

I don't think they were saying CS degrees are a waste at all, in fact I think the message is exactly the same as yours. Going to a bootcamp teaches you to use some specific tools and let you make basic projects. Getting a CS degree l

You know, it's very possible that he says that as hyperbole, statements like that are very often not to be taken literally.

System76 is probably the most well-known Linux laptop distributor in the US, their offerings are pretty popular. I know a few people with one of their laptops and all of them are pretty satisfied. Purism is a bit more "extreme",

I've been running on a Ryzen 5 1600 for a year and agree with you entirely, the performance is amazing for the price. Currently dual booting with Win10 and Void Linux and haven't had any processor-related issues so far!

Which just goes to prove the point that it's the person, not the equipment, that determines performance at that level.

As poor as I did in my Algorithms class last semester, this would have been very helpful to reference. There's definitely a gap between the concept and implementation of CS concepts, being able to see an efficient implementation of so

A lot of this information is written so that it's easier for laypeople to read and understand. Stuff like that may be obvious to developers and sysadmins like many of us, but to the common League player it might not be. Also, I doubt

XFCE looks a lot better with a different window theme installed, the defaults are absolutely terrible. There's as many options for XFCE as KDE, but it definitely takes tweaking before it looks good. i3 is generally used for its produc

> Sublime sometimes opens with the menu shown, sometimes with it hidden After a year of using Sublime on Ubuntu for work, I have yet to have this issue happen. Even if it does happen, it seems like an application issue not an OS issue.

Yeah, the whole Unity look and feel was always terrible for me. My first experience with Linux was the last version of Ubuntu with Gnome2, then I did a system update and everything changed and back then I didn't know about changing DE

You should try reading the article. They specifically state that they re-use components whenever possible, and they regularly service their ladders to keep them in good condition. Aluminum ladders only have a 7-8 year lifespan vs some of
