For the full story, I was trying to reduce the boot time on my Linux system. One of the things that takes the most time is systemd-random-seed. From what I understand, it takes this long because my computer is not generating entropy fast en

Being at the same ability level matters way more than being at the same age. Speaking from personal experience, the whole "let's try to pretend that this kid is normal and that with enough time he will fit in" has had terribl

One thing that I don't really like is when people take care of the whimsical before taking care of the basics, good design, good UX, properly-tested software, good docs and good support. For example, on this page, the links, the first

I'm in France and HN is almost always very responsive to me. I think one of the reasons why HN doesn't need to be "on the edge" as much as other applications is that servers roundtrips are relatively rare as it's mo

It is silly, I agree with that. When I find a solution with stackoverflow or a forum or whatever, I tend to not remember well the next time I have this problem. On the other hand, if I'm forced to understand what's happening and w

This is one of the things I love about OCaml. Since answers are not a stackoverflow search away, it forces me to actually understand what I'm trying to do. Everything takes longer at first but I end up building a deeper understanding t

I've seen on the last thread that sometimes for cheating one bit of data is enough, something like a signal at some point where you could make a decisive move. I wonder, then, how you could send stealthily to someone a bit of data. Som

What's dangerous about this? I don't know much abojt security, are text editors a common threat vector?

I don't really see the issue here. Is this a cultural thing ?

Making archives yourself? 4chan has a constant rotating cast of archive websites, with custom software developed. Internet is not only archive.org and cloudflare. You're a user too, you could make archives. Rejecting the responsibility

I remember reading a blog post about starting all your scripts names with a comma, so that you can do ,<TAB> and get a list. I've been doing it and it works well. However, I like the namespacing, --help and autocompletion of sd.

I share the same view of the situation as you. A consequence of the increase in demands for justice, political correctness, and stuff like that seems to be that every community has to be focused on a oppressed group or it will be considered
