I contributed to plenty of open source projects as a minor, interacting with maintainers and other people in the communities around them. Grooming and abuse is a real problem. If Stallman thinks it can be justified to sleep with a child if

If people can't contribute because they are being preyed upon and abused in the community, and the leadership sees no issue with that, they can't contribute and so they are excluded. If he isn't willing to defend those people

My point was that this article makes no attempt to address those issues. However, I do happen to believe there is an issue, as I outlined in a sibling comment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26646676 ). Statutory rape

Well, my point was that this article actively avoids answering that question. From what I can see, yes, he does. He seems to take the position that children should be able consent to sex with adults, which fundamentally makes contributors l

Any article that just dismisses the issues with Stallman as a smear and tells you not to listen to them without showing why they are wrong instantly seems to have little intent to engage on the facts. This reads like an absurd conspiracy th

Yeah, noise is relatively unimportant so they tend to use a ton of extremely high RPM fans and big hunks of copper, from what I've seen.

The way the browser integration works means it just sometimes doesn't pick up that the app is open. There is a ton of little polish stuff like that which makes it way harder to use for people with little tech experience, and I've

I wouldn't recommend it for casual users as there are definitely things that are less polished about the way it works, but for power-users it is great. The SSH key integration is really good.

Sure, but we were talking about being a consumer . In general, I would argue Postel's law: be careful with what you send, be liberal with what you accept. Don't mess with the order yourself, but don't assume other tooling wi

by Latty 6y ago
Well, falling back to the pragmatist position: a lot of JSON tooling assumes the order isn't relevant semantically. Not taking that position will cause you a lot of headaches.

The spec[1] says: > An object is an unordered collection of zero or more name/value pairs, where a name is a string and a value is a string, number, boolean, null, object, or array. "whenever the order matters to the consumer o

Personally, aligning columns like that drives me nuts. It's awkward to maintain and makes things harder to actually read most of the time.

This is such a classic HN moment. The post is about SO, the top comment is complaining that the moderation is too strict and draconian, and the second comment is this one complaining that the moderation isn't enough. So is always walki

I thought similarly until I committed to working on an Elm project. I developed an open source game in Elm, and I've been very impressed with the benefits of the pure functional approach. It takes some getting used to, for sure, but it

This isn't a new practice, and it isn't specific to AMD: Here is an LTT video from years ago talking about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEileqxmags

Is there an oauth provider that offers what mobiles have started to do with permissions, where "deny" just gives empty data to to the requesting application instead of actually rejecting the claim? It'd be nice to see Google

When you get the dry fact that the capital was stormed by right-wing extremists, alongside the "dry fact" that it was actually an anti-fa false flag, how do you choose which to run, how to order them, etc...? The right in the US r

So you incentivise people being as angry as possible about anything they even remotely disagree with, because then it shifts the "firehose" in their favour.

The tech is irrelevant if it isn't solving a problem people care about in a way that is useful to them. > Who is 'people'? Who do you speak for? Could you share any sources that back up your claim? The fact that we don&#x2

Who is incentivised to run the instances? So, in the perfect world, you have all these nodes with different levels and types of moderation and people can communicate across them, but pick the level and type of moderation they want by what i

Except if no one is using the protocols, they don't actually solve the problem. People don't want everyone to have a complete platform to them to say anything they want. So somewhere someone has to be doing some deciding of who ge

Yes, liars will accuse their opponents of doing what they are doing. We can observe reality to determine who is telling the truth, rather than blindly repeating lies alongside truths. The right in the US have created an alternative reality

This is the fundamental issue when the public square is owned by a company. I don't think anyone can solve that. You can't disallow moderation in a space, otherwise you just have people screaming at you all the time. If there is f

Is it "web platform animation is that bad", or is it "web platform video is that good"? I think a large part of the flash animation scene being as big as it was was simply that it was the only real way to do video at the

That feels really counter to what I see. Maybe five years ago I'd have agreed with you, but now-a-days on-board graphics, audio and NICs are way better than they used to be. Don't get me wrong, I still run a discrete GPU for gam

Ah my bad, you are right, I didn't meant to imply that it was actually provided by the x570 chipset, just through it as a part of the motherboard. I just worded it poorly.
