I work in a local TV newsroom for my job and the idea that the public has about journalism has been deliberately warped. A great example of criticism of bias is that it's widely reported that Luigi Mangione's motive was unknown un

It could have been nice to see the Rust rewrites finished instead of shelved due to costs. AI is very expensive so if they have the money for this, they could've probably started that up again. Firefox is generally good feature wise bu

It definitely is. I can't think of a single person in the last 100 years who is both rich enough that they don't have to work for a living and is still kind to others. Maybe MacKenzie Scott? But I guess that just goes to show it i

Also, even if switching away doesn't send a message to Google. Why would you rely on products that you consider a risk? I didn't switch away from Google because I thought it was a huge financial blow, but because I didn't wan

What this completely discounts is the existence of corporate landlords. Thousands of homes are being bought and kept empty to restrict that supply. It's ridiculous to destroy land used for other purposes just to build more empty houses

Microfeed is cool and I love using it! I don't see it as very similar though.

So far I've not seen any demos of the custom css feature. I hacked together some stuff from my omg.lol (of previous HN fame) powered website. My website: https://www.orawalters.com/ My lynx: https://lynx.boo

Yes, but the difference isn't purely that this one is open source. It's also way cheaper (in terms of both money and also effort) to host because you can do as the demo does and use the free Google Apps Script for your backend and

I love Redox as a project because while it still has a massive ways to go, it's the closest to being a new OS/Kernel that has the potential to make it to a viable daily driver. Windows/MacOS/Unix/Linux are all incre

Why not spend this effort contributing to Servo, which is also written in Rust? It seems the two projects share similar goals but Servo has a massive headstart.

That's a primary and backup server for Stackoverflow and a primary/backup for SE. But they each have the full dataset for their sites, not actual horizontal scaling. Also that page is just a static marketing tool, not very represe

Right to Work laws, despite the name makes pretty much any firing legal. Unless an employer says something like "You are my least favorite race and for that reason I'm firing you" they're in the clear.

I hope I don't sounds rude saying this but Go code is generally self evident. I personally got my Go knowledge from reading Go code on GitHub or the like. There's a certain beauty to Go code in that you can grasp what code does pr

I know it's not being talked about as much, but they're now run by a guy who believes the cloud, backup datacenters, and microservices are superfluous. Maybe he doesn't have a good plan for scaling quickly?
