I thought the masses created a botfarm and derailed it by typing profanity or something?

How so?

Do you think that's a problem inherent to USB-C? Or just how they've been implemented in the MacBook Pro?

All of those things are pretty minor and employ fairly standard design patterns. I think you're exaggerating a bit here. The app is quite streamlined, especially compared to other apps like Facebook Messenger or Skype. I think if you w

You're probably right, but the tongue-in-cheek tone of the article implies that the author knows this as well.

Oddly enough I came across this article here on Hacker News whilst eating avocado and vegemite on toast :)

Related: Humans Naturally Think In Logarithms https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-natural-log/ I'm not sure if this is the article I originally saw - I seem to remember reading a longer one.

I agree, but unfortunately it's less obvious how much value you're adding as a product manager if the software you're working on doesn't visibly change.

EDIT: I originally created an issue for the wrong repository, and it looks like someone has already made an issue for me: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/668 Thanks for your attention

Same here. I was hoping to run this completely headlessly but any attempt to run even `keepassxc --help` or `keepassxc --version` results in: QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display Aborted

To be clear - this doesn't mean that you can no longer install apps on Android 2.1 and lower, just that you can't use Android Market/Google Play. It's pretty easy to sideload APKs, and the development tools still provide

I think it's reasonable to downvote if his comment is just an assertion with no evidence. It shouldn't matter who he is or how high his karma is.

I understand thst 32-bit is inherently less secure than 64-bit but if you had no choice but to use a 32-bit computer, what would be the best way to provide yourself with similar security features? I guess you could use an older version of T

Is your arrogant and condescending tone really necessary here?

Is it really necessary to read it cover to cover? A lot of it seems quite drawn out, and there seems to be a lot of overlap, particularly between the four gospels of the New Testament (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John).

They're not really in direct competition. Try writing an Android app in Swift, or an iOS app in Kotlin. Technically possibly either way, but one's definitely more suited than the other for each purpose.

I've seen far worse on the front page that didn't get flagged...

I did see that. Probably my favourite :)

This honestly doesn't look that good on my phone. The spacing seems really off in some areas, and the colours and icons seem a bit jarring. http://imgur.com/X8Wt7ng

I had a go and worked out a Gray code for 12 positions. There's probably a neater solution, or even some sort of algorithm for generating this, but this seems to work :). 0110 0010 1010 1011 1111 1101 0101 0111 0011

All you've said here is "python packaging sucks", with no explanation why, and with no alternative. Not a substantial comment, and I'm disappointed that it's been voted to the top. I'd ask for your reasoning bu

So this was on the front page with 1302 points at time of writing, and now it's nowhere to be found... Is there a quirk with HN's algorithm that I'm not aware of, or is there something else afoot? A mass-flagging? A manual ta
