It's completely okay for people who are not you to have requirements and preferences that are not yours. If you don't like HaikuOS, don't use it.

Was just explaining to my offspring about how Apple was looking to buy Be Inc. back before Jobs returned and they allowed themselves to be bought by NeXT. Sort of a fun complete-circle: Be ports BeOS to PowerMacs, Apple passes on buying B

I have very good memories of each of these machines, though it was really the TI PC I used myself. The DEC Rainbow was a bit pricey for me, but I did have a fair amount of CP/M software, so the idea of having CP/M-80 and DOS on

Nevermind. Found the mirror for the repo I was looking for. But I'm still getting the error from github. If no one else is seeing this message, maybe they're operating close to limits and I'm just the unlucky one today. Ma

Ask HN: Is there a backup / mirror URL for github.com?

cool. more or less fine with them being slow and pushing strange, incorrect ads about their pricing as long as they're not selling my CC# to baby-seal-clubbing cc-scammers.

It's not only non-phoned accounts, I have a 20+ year old account from the Beta that just got its storage limit reduced. As well as the 17 year old account I made for open source projects when I was at Linden. Both accounts have working

Everyone likes to dunk on AWS and GCP, and AWS billing is sometimes problematic, but I've never had Amazon say "the price for this service is $2 per month" and then when you enable it have it balloon to $20 per month. There

I saw you post "lambda is awesome" and was going to reply with "only in certain circumstances." But you beat me to it. After about a year of poking lambda to see how it actually worked (versus how it was documented) and

I tried scaleway about 7 or 8 years ago and it was still pretty rough. And setting up with them required multiple trips to government portals to get id documents they would accept. Being European, they don't know how to scan the bar

I came here to make essentially the same comment though I use Lenovos instead of Macs.

That you didn't just search for "Big and Tall" or some-such tells me the search engines aren't as decent as I might think. Are search engines really that useless? Or did you start with a search for "clothes, tall&

You're confusing "The Exception That Proves the Rule" (in English, as used colloquially) with "exceptio probat regulam in casibus non exceptis" (in Latin, which has a use similar to what you're describing.) Wh

Indeed I have. I didn't intend it to be, but it is accidentally a data point on the distinctiveness of brand names in this sector.

I'm not even sure it even means "work harder, not smarder and wach yor seplling." In my experience it's more of a shibboleth to the new masters to let them know they're down with creating a top-down organization wh

How many people are at GitHub these days? I interviewed there just less than a decade ago and they REALLY did not like me. I kept yammering on about ensuring your KPIs are correct and making sure people felt psychologically safe. I think

The final shot of the sequence runs from about :44 to 1:06. I'm talking about the bit that STARTS at :44, after the cut. I think you're talking about the sequence before the SHOT.

I think the number of good documentaries has remained constant as the total number of documentaries has risen. So sure, the percentage of documentaries that are good has fallen as we are innundated with crap, but as previous posters have n

It's not at all pointless! (This is a joke, where I'm quibbling pointlessly, but saying it's not. It's stupid, I grant you, but it's offered in good humor.)

How are you suggesting they composited the two sequences (Burke walking, rocket launching) together in 1978?

Yes and no. The Saturn V he walks past was on it's side next to the Vehicle Assembly Building, which is close to launch complex 41 from which the Voyager missions launched. But I think it's about 120 degrees to the left from wher

No. They don't lose points for using a film production technique that was in popular use at the time (and is still in use.) The reason people say this is a well timed shot has nothing to do with the voice-over at the end of the shot.
