You know the Israeli government has also used the phrase "From the river to the sea", right? "Intifada" just means "uprising"; the original Palestinian intifadas referred to nonviolent work stoppages, protests,

Pretty sure when the Crusaders showed up in the middle ages, the locals protested against Christians too. Everything you've typed is an attempt to deflect criticism of Israel by exploiting Jewish sentiment, and it's frankly gross.

As someone who's actually Jewish, has Israeli friends, and had kibbutzim relatives from back in the day, I agree that this is what the Israeli government and society tell themselves. But, it's a self-serving myth that enables th

Yet another article purporting to "defend" open source while simultaneously undermining its communal aspects by implying maintainers owe NOTHING to others. Where's the vigorous criticism of CLAs? The criticism of monetization

Oh, the irony of saying "Understand China-US relations without understanding communism vs capitalism", which clearly betrays how little they understand historical Marxist communism, and how far away modern China is from it (not to

It's less about apps vs web, and more about the web monoculture that arose. It's like that quip, "the web is 5 sites, sharing screenshots of the other 4".

Unless you're Snowden, nobody's interested in physically hacking your phone. If the customer data is that important, you shouldn't have it on your phone regardless. Common thieves might steal your phone, but they're just

The broader point you're missing is, HN commenters are not your personal AI summarizers. You're literally on the Pixi website, and you know its name if you want to look for forums, feed it into Perplexity, etc.

Oh for sure, but as Eurogames go, those are still two of the most basic. My wife is so sick of Catan she's refused to play it for over a decade.

Being factual is easily mistaken for a "liberal" bias, apparently.

In addition to it all, Zuck's taste in board games is basic. Though he's still ahead of Elon, who was busted for boosting his Path of Exile 2 account.

> Maybe a closer comparison would be famine of 1876-8, where some estimate go as high as 8.6M fatalities on a population of ~58M. Uh, this is the Bengal famine the parent comment refers to, right? Ireland has never had 58M people in it.

Great article, though I prefer Typer, which builds on Click, over raw Click.

> if firefox itself dies Switching to forks makes it a matter of when, not if. All the forks are dependent on FF's current funding for their own long-term viability.

A decade seems optimistic to me, personally. ---- I doubt user funding would cover more than a small fraction of the costs. Someone crunched the numbers in the Lobsters comments, and compared it to Wikipedia's funding. They concluded M

These FF forks will all be nonviable within a few years of Mozilla going under. Google and Apple will keep moving the web (for better or worse), and these forks will be unable to keep up for lack of resources. Whether they get relatively sl

Which will go under within a few years of FF dying. (Yes, the current code may still work, but the web will move on without it.)

The problem with these privacy-first Firefox forks is none have the resources to match FF. If Firefox dies, eventually so will they, as the code stagnates relative to better-funded browsers. Saying "switch to a privacy-first fork"

True, but persistent data structures are still 2x-4x slower than mutable structures on average.

If the core team had ever addressed the decade of surveys showing that error messages/stacktraces were people's top complaints, you wouldn't need Claude.
