> 500 karma requirement is for downvoting, an anti-abuse measure Yeah, right. And a star is anti-troll measure because they have to spend time reviewing the code for security issues or just validity, it's a minor reward for someone&

And they have the right to refuse. Do you know how many times my PRs have been turned down after I already finished the work? Sometimes they only accept PRs if you're in their click lol. That's all fine but clicking on a star is s

Late in the thread but this may not be a good thing. I already can't use rustc or golang from distros because they can't keep up with the latest versions of these languages that are being released evey few months. I have a system

You are right but then the project authors don't owe you support and don't want to support you if you are in that situation, so fork it or find another project.

I just wanna say I've been a fan of Qt and its contribution to native UI, KDE is awesome and all. I just wish there were good qml supporting easy to use libraries in modern languages that wrapped it because I can't do C++ unless s

Don't you have to get like 500 karma before you can up/down vote on HN? Not far off right?

I thought it was obvious. Not all projects get stars, the ones people use and like the most get more support in form of contribution which could be issues and pr's or other types of support. For people who don't care abour stars i

My point exactly, if you don't think it's worth starring why even use it let along issues and pr's. If GH had levels of stars it might have be been better. Can't projects say they'll only support people who really l

If you like it starting it makes sense, if you don't why open issues and do pr's?

Why the negative sentiment against this? It doesn't cost people anything to star a project. Whether it is a PR or not, the maintainer still had to review and maintain the code and that is time they will spend. The more stars a project

I thought the question of the subject can easily be googled/explained. The hard question is why are wages not keeping up? Greed? But greed has always been there. Shouldn't people stop affording certain things and that lead to a pr

Just like the article, the ship of Theseus changes in its constituency but not in its identity. Am I a different person because almost none of my cells at the time of my birth remain in me? Of course not. And the wiki article is the same ar

Ideological politics is at odds with correctness driven politics. Policy should be supported and implemented because politicians (policy makers) believe it will acheive a desired goal not because they must conform to an ideology. For exampl

I hate being such a fault finder but his sentiment about people and resources is just wrong. The WW2 generation became so peace loving after the war not before. Prior to then, war-lust was a popular sentiment, some viewed war as an adventur

What scares me about this thread is it seems remote work even for devs is much harder these days if you have to be in the bay area and then still struggle.

What if it wasn't at our scale but more like late 1800s europe and limited to regions like phoenicia, mesopotamia or the mediterranean coast. Places like alexandria have a ton of history under the city that can't be explored becau

Gen-z/alpha will lament at millenials screwing them over with crap like this. Same as how millenials lament about boomers and the state of the economy. The solution is legal not tech. 5G and wifi6 may allow the government to listen in

You would like China then. In the US and most of the west, governments derive their power from the governed, which means their ability to investigate crime is at the consent of the governed as well. It is due to the law not catching up to t

The core would use cache near it? Memory access delay such as caches is not considered part of cpu frequency either afaik.

Or if you are deploying stuff at large shops with decent devops staffing, you can use ima as part if your OS build pipeline. Basically to make sure what you tested and published from dev is the only thing that can run in prod. But is it pos
