Authoritive? Would it feel different if Linus was just one of the contributors to the kernel instead of the one in charge? Because I'm quite certain everybody is treated equally and there is no pecking order just a chain of trust. Plus

Being called out on your stupid choices is a good thing. Now this is Linus pointing it out so it's going to be rude and funny at the same time. Does that really make it less friendly of a crowd? Personally I think not but you might fee

Is it weird that I don't get this at all. I've never been competitive and no exam has ever driven me to tears. Everything I've learned was self thought and I took it at my own pace which is way slower than academia requires b

It's great to have but reality is very few people will care. If you did this just to get preferential treatment on interviews and such I'm afraid you were wasting your time. However your efforts in helping the community of develop

Not quite, Managers can be separate, accounts can be separate, advertizing can be separate etc. but Development and Operations must be treated as one unit no separation. In other words anything that can have a line of communication and stil

I think there is a fundamental disconnect between what DevOps is and the classical business organization structure. DevOps is not a department and it will not work if it is a department DevOps is a way of doing things to achieve maximum eff

I completely agree with you safety should never be compromised just for the sake of modernization however when it takes 40 years to upgrade you're doing it wrong. There should be ways of introducing new tech and features while slowly f

American justice is blind to everything except money. Didn't VISA Master Card and Paypal get fined for blocking wikileaks recently? Isn't this just about the same thing?

All the forking is not helping it gain popularity. When there are so many similar versions which one do you choose. Also you probably don't want it to be popular anyway unless you don't mind the authorities knocking on your door.

Yes a dark room is always very helpful for my productivity also i tend to switch all my tools to a dark theme so it's easier on the eyes. Unfortunately so many websites only use bright themes that it's painful and I sometimes end

Realistically thought the NSA may be celebrating now since truth is security is weaker in the home grown products compare to the big name american brands. Better yet skilled foreign hackers won't be checking the security of these produ

The treat of financial ruin is the same though. Regardless of how bogus the charges may be lawyers are expensive and it's not like if 44 out of 45 charges are bogus they need to pay 44/45 of the defendants attorneys fees. This is

It will be on the books but maybe as something else. I don't mind paying tax but I'd rather not get arrested for something a person I do business with did. This is the chilling effect this kind of behavior by the state has. It mak

It seems to infuriate me and make me more likely to ask to be payed in cash when doing business with companies that seem to be in the gray area of the law. But in no way will I cave to this mafia style behavior. Do I now risk going to jail

There's a lot of lip service but I still don't get why a programmer need to go to jail for this crap. Are they prosecuting everyone that ever worked for or did business with megaupload now? Because that seems a bit shady.

As someone who recently bought the Firefly series on Blu-Ray a few weeks ago and attempted to play it on my Arch Linux setup it's very obvious why it gets pirated. On the disc it said I'm not allowed to copy it or RIP it however t

Not to mention the unquantifiable damage taxpayers took because the economy went bye bye and they were unable to pay their loans and mortgages. You can make a heck of a lot of money if you kill the economy, get bailed out and get to keep th

This was posted on HN 2 months before I donated £50 at that time so i wouldn't say it didn't get enough exposure. It's just that it takes a lot of media attention to get you to your goal plus a lot of the donations a coming f

You know what would encourage big content to let go of works? A tax that increases every year that copyrighted work is kept under copyright. That way if it's not valuable to them they will let it go instead of hoarding it all forever.

What's wrong with "designer babies". I think it would be cool if you could clean up your DNA removing all the nasty genetic diseases you could pass on to your children. I wouldn't really change the appearance of my child

In a way however i sincerely doubt any company would just hand their Sorce Code over to the Chinese. They will just pirate the hell out of it if they do so what will happen is companies will start making things specifically for the Chinese

True that's a weird way of doing things it's practically state/tax sponsored television owned by "the public". Plus I think you don't have to pay the fee if you can show that you don't own a television. No

Patrion is a good idea however a better one would be if you could pay £0.01 - £0.05 (pick your currency) per you-tube video watched and not have any ads shown. Right now everybody in analitics is thinking in the millions of impressions but

With such a proposal I'm not surprised how ca a party of technically skilled people and intelligent people ever come up with such a dumb idea. There are plenty of obscure artists that were able to monetize their work to a certain degre

You know your company sucks when its name has become synonymous with high latency, dropped packets and a all round shitty network. Unfortunately i suspect they will just send a trademark claim to Github to get it removed.

Is it necessary to shelter children from porn? As a child of the internet in a time when porn filters didn't even exist and most of the sites on the internet were mainly porn sites I find that argument without legs. Don't get me w

To be fair they both sound like quite a piece of work. There are very few women who would willingly leave their children behind just because their husband told them to not to mention leave them in foster care just because you now have a lif

Sigh... don't these people understand that the good crypto will just go underground there's no preventing or controlling it. Then all the bad guys will have good crypto and all the average people and organizations will have hacked
