Why in Hypatia's holy name are we sharing the rantings of priests on HN?

As a lifelong voter who has voted straight-ticket Democrat in every election since my 18th birthday because I'm convinced that the Republican Party's dominance is inimical to the continued liberty, prosperity, and happiness of all

It sounds like women who grow up hearing they can be whoever they want to be tend to not want to be techies. I don't blame them. If I were any good at anything else I wouldn't do STEM for a living, either. It's a thankless jo

I might be an arsehole, but I'm not a rapist. If the other people aren't into it, then I'm out of there.

This is why I don't let my cats roam freely outside. If they want outdoor kitty adventures, they can have them on a leash.

I'm not familiar with any of these musicians, so I'm going to have to check them out. Thanks! I was lucky enough to score a second-hand set of Deutche Grammophon's Complete Beethoven Edition at an estate sale, and I like

Not just millennials. I'm part of the rearguard of Generation X, and I renounced Christianity as soon as I had the economic freedom to do so (it's safer to be closeted when you're dependent on close-minded parents). I haven&#

Moderation's easy in a decentralized model: run your own server, and refuse to federate with servers that are run by (or used by) people you consider to be assholes. Server admins can easily band together to contain (or isolate) "

I think the author could get most of what they want by getting a used T-series ThinkPad and installing OpenBSD on it, but that's just my preference. If they're happy with this setup, that's their business.

I'd say they should use ActivityPub[1] instead of wasting time on their own incompatible solution, but quite frankly I don't want Twitter federating with Mastodon. We get our fill of chuds with anime avatars thanks to Pleroma, and

I'm tempted to suggest that the suckless people are on Linux because they can't handle OpenBSD or Plan 9, but that would be cruel.

by Porthos9K 7y ago
Seems legit. I identify as an OpenBSD user for reasons I suspect are true of many GNU/Linux users: I had to choose OpenBSD for myself, and make a not-exactly-trivial effort to not only get it installed, but learn how to use it effect

I'm normally not sympathetic toward Facebook, but if the US Senate tries to mess with encryption I hope Zuckerberg permabans every elected official in the US from Facebook, from the POTUS on down to the Board of Education in Butt Pimpl

I think the author's real agenda comes through when they talk about younger workers being more pliant. He doesn't want workers who stand up for themselves (or their fellow workers).

This blog post is basically Spamming 101 . All marketing emails are spam, whether they're selling personal "enhancement" products or SAAS platforms. A stand-out subject line won't help you when people start refusing all

I'm an American, and I'd rather hire my fellow Americans. They have a much more sensible work ethic, and are more efficient; they put in a solid day's work in eight hours or less and then get the hell out of the office. If th

Salesforce Lightning is kinda like React, only somehow worse ; it involves creating components using JavaScript that render HTML and CSS upon client-side execution.

Isn't this why we used to get together and have LAN parties, so that we could play on a 10/100mbps network without other Internet traffic in the way? (And so that if a player started trash-talking the rest of us could beat the shi

Too much JavaScript, too many animations, and if I wanted cookies I'd bake my own. Plain HTML or GTFO, because if your site doesn't work in lynx then it just doesn't work.
