If the cask downloads directly from dropbox I would trust it. It's up to you who you feel comfortable trusting. If you have internal company stuff you don't want out keep it on a private intranet. This is the type of stuff Richard

Of course you should be concerned. You're installing a kernel extension from an unknown developer on the internet. Most people here are using npm which has thousands of malicious packages. I don't think they have a clue. https:&#

It wouldn't work. Foxconn produces 500k iPhones every day. They have a million employees and pay them $2/hr. That's only half of Apple's revenue. Given that Jobs wouldn't even give his own engineers stock in the com

The Oscars are from an era where you'd rent a movie based on what critics had to say. Critics are irrelevant today. We have IMDB and Netflix ratings. The utility is gone. Now it's just a bowling trophy for the sake of tradition.

Positive affirmations are not curative. If imposter syndrome affects you negatively, chances are you have something resembling anxiety. This is a common and treatable problem. Because imposter syndrome is associated with competence, ironica

It's like everything else in the JS world. A new solution to a solved problem. It takes more than an incremental improvement to outweigh the learning curve and development costs. New things should be an order of magnitude better. If a

> We don't have to justify it. We simply don't want to see ads. That's the end of it. Replace "see ads" with "pay money." Pirates are thieves and content theft is piracy.

Every time this discussion comes up on HN I get downvoted for being completely against adblock. It's crazy how far people will go to justify taking food off other people's plate. Usually the argument about tracking comes up. As if

Wasm is bleeding edge. AFAIK the only compatible UI library is Qt and support is not production ready. I have never needed package management in C++. There are gotchas with all languages, Lisp is not a panacea. Language verbosity is not bad

On the frontend. In a number of years. It's in its infancy. Instead of hacking a webpage to behave like software it actually will be software. So I'm pretty excited about the idea.

> Real Hackers have also known, for a while, that C and C++ are not appropriate for most programs that don't need to do arbitrary bit-fiddling. Strongly disagree with this statement. I've read it so many places now that it ha

It's an opinionated subject. It's sort of like choosing the shiniest piece of trash at the landfill. Next.js works fine after you download 10 GB of packages from 10k strangers on the internet. Jekyll and 11ty are relatively simple

Every screenshot in this blog post showcases dated design paradigms. Flat UI was popularized around the release of Windows 10 in 2015. When I go through dribbble I see a lot of mediocre and copycat design. Design is about more than copying

GTD seminars are used to induct members into the cult. It's analogous to Scientology and their ideas on productivity. The audience for GTD is mostly programmers due to corporations sponsoring the seminars. Everything programmers do is

David Allen is a leader of The Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness. Between cargo cult and actual cults I have a low opinion of programmers in general. Programmers think everything needs a system or an abstraction. I guess when all you ha

Temperature records are inferred from climate proxies. Ice cores are the primary proxy used. Scientists manually count the number of air bubbles in a sample of ice to estimate the level of CO2. The amount of oxygen isotopes present is used

The CPU is the same size as the thermal paste residue shown in the pictures. The remaining space is for the two RAM chips. The author should be embarrassed.

They don't want to destroy the GPU market. They want to destroy the PC market. The gap is only going to widen now that they're on the new architecture. I'm sure AMD has more up their sleeve though. Who said Moore's law i

Most people don't want to repair, they want to replace. What people really want is a modular computer, the way things used to be. Right to repair is going to force legislation for schematics, at best. Even then I don't think it&#x

This is my experience as well. You gain self awareness and it helps your focus. I haven't experienced ghosts or orbs myself. The author should question his own sanity instead of being concerned with others.

Hey Mozilla, just writing to thank you for your excellent documentation. The only real problem I have is how free it is. Is there any way I can send you money every month in perpetuity. Thanks.

No. 17°C is ridiculously cold. Do you suggest wearing gloves as well? Room temp in the winter is 23-25°C.
