This reads like blame shifting, not accountability. > Yes, this was brought to my attention as a result of the review. That review has apparently caused sufficient damage that Raptor will now be reevaluating whether we can afford to serv

Hm, I have wanted to get RISC-V support on builds.sr.ht, but there are a couple of problems. The main blocker is that I still haven't got a good Alpine port finished for it, the main blocker for that being the lack of a good bootload

It only takes 1.87 km/s to get from the moon's surface to LLO, and there's fuel and science and real estate at the bottom. The delta-V budget of, say, LLO to the nearest Earth-Moon Lagrangian point is about 1 km/s. So ye

Well, thanks to the bastard rocket equation, fuel savings have an exponential impact. If you can get to geostationary orbit and meet up with the elevator, then fuel up again at the moon, you save a considerable amount of weight in fuel.

This was interesting until he started mentioning CSS, then it was no no no no no through the end of the article. Do not mess with scrollbars. In the same class of annoying bullshit: don't mess with text boxes with JavaScript. You won&#

The API sucks, too, though, when used from the command line. Every non-automated way of interacting with AWS is like pulling teeth, and in reality most people do this all the time. You can't automate a process you've never done ma

That interpretation of the criticism text is at best wishful thinking and at worst willful ignorance. Take off the rose colored glasses and read it again - there are several fundamental problems brought up.

A perspective which may not have been considered yet is exactly what kind of value is being created in these open source projects: namely, value which is easily captured by SaaS startups. Is it really surprising that that <insert javascr

I don't understand Apple users. They continue putting out crappy products and their users act like they've been personally hurt and there's nothing they can do about it. There is something you can do about it: buy someone els

The goal is to be simple and easy to use. The UI should get out of your way ASAP - you're there to get things done, not to gawk at the pretty UI. As a bonus, it's very fast and small, easy on your web browser even on old computers
