I personally don't want to have to upload proof of identity to GitHub and a signed document swearing that I own the copyright to all the code I upload to GitHub, or proof that I coded it. We need to be careful what we wish for.

I would highly recommend reading some UX classics such as: - The Inmate Are Running The Asylum by Alan Cooper - The Design of Everyday Things by Donald Norman (and I'm sure there are many more good resources that are recent than that.)

Cappuccino only delivers audio messages the next morning, all mixed together in one audio track. You listen to it at your leisure, like drinking a morning coffee, or at least that's the idea. I find WhatsApp voice messages annoying, as

On HN, we generally prefer comments that aren't just jokes. I certainly like that about HN, I don't want HN to turn into Slashdot or into a typical subreddit. Because of HN's culture, sometimes a joke can be mistaken for a se

These two lines of code are now deprecated, and will be removed in PHP 9.0. My question is: what will they do in PHP 9.0? Will they throw a syntax error? Or will they print something else? echo("${foo}"); // Will thi

To be clear, this is the first Ubuntu release where Firefox is not available in the APT repositories. You can't uninstall the snap Firefox and install Firefox from the APT Ubuntu repositories any more.

Quoting is not enough, as that won't handle filenames beginning with dash correctly.

HN is terrible to use on touchscreens (smartphones, tablets, certain laptops) and I wouldn't be surprised if more than 5% of HN's target audience are negatively affected by it. And I doubt that many people use 39 inch monitors, ce

You say that you choose ZFS if you don't want to worry about data loss. My experience is the opposite of yours. The only time I experienced filesystem corruption (other than hardware failure) was when I upgraded to Ubuntu 21.10 on a ZF

It's not about URL detection (which would wrap this URL in an <a> object). It's just about the way forward slashes are treated in a right-to-left context.
