> Linux is free, but you pay for it with your time. People like to repeat this thought terminating cliché because they think it makes them sound smart and insightful, to doubt that a free thing is really free. But it's an uniquely

If you don't buy into the acquired, existing knowledge of neuroscience and the role of lymph nodes in learning, you can do whatever you want in your free time, but don't call it my theory, because it's neither mine nor a th

It's more complex than that. The three pillars of learning are theory (finding out about the thing), practice (doing the thing) and metacognition (being right, or more importantly, wrong. And correcting yourself.). Each of those steps

I love the lowkey vibe that if you want quality software, you either have to pay for it or wait for FAANG money. Just ignore the most widely used operating system!

To be fair, even after reading the other guy's post, I'm still mad about it. They even sell APL keyboards now. The indignity.

Definitely, but it won't be a creation of any known AI companies, anytime soon. I have a hard time to see how this would be profitable. It also goes against the main ethos of the AI sect to "stress-test" the AI against everyt

Thank heavens I have you to stop me from trying to step out of my comfort zone.

Holy cows, same. But it's not PTSD. People think you can tell because of ternary rhythm, —, big-words and other shenanigans. These are tactics over strategy, obsessing over the minutiae. But I think what you're feeling (and what I

That sums up pretty much how I think about that. I don't have any opinion about XSLT either way... I'm just so tired. If Google decided to kill HTML tomorrow- who could stop them?

Yeah, if you consider the Python interpreter "your own code".

The point is that there was exactly nothing of suspicion. This was to correct the doubt that the HN poster was not the same person as the GitHub user. Conceding to you that a search can be useful, GP could've stopped at "The githu

Looking is. Sharing, I'm not so sure? At least for me, it crosses a boundary. Especially since it's looking and sharing for something as irrelevant as "HN name doesn't check out!"

by alt187 11mo ago
Frankly, I second that sentiment. I'm not sure how extensive your search was to find OP's LinkedIn, but it's clearly not in his HN profile, and that's enough to be unwarranted imho.

by alt187 11mo ago
So if the random guy who posted it on HN wasn't the OP, it would've been a thousand times more untrustworthy, obviously? I don't see your point, and I squinted very hard.

This is pretty much how I feel about the whole ordeal too. Vote with your wallet, and all of that. Thanks for sharing.

It probably takes a week to get used to ugly pants too. OP's point is a matter of aesthetic judgement. I don't mind it either, but = |&I: can| -> Agree { Rust::Syntax }; is.a(Bit(&mut chaotic);

The (retired?) head of a project trying to port Linux on Mac. I avoid naming names, not to be cryptic but because a lot of people like to stumble on these kinds of posts via search. Or moderate them. I'm not agreeing, but I can see why

People are (understandably) sick of the fact that for whatever reason, the biggest proponents of Rust are insufferable. Personally, I'm simply bothered by the fact that (one of?) the most famous figure of Rust on Linux and Rust Forever

ChatGPT isn't an author, so it shouldn't be listed. Instead, every single piece of human creation that's been sloshed and slurried to produce this drab drivel should be put as authors. That would be fair.
