"apt" is meant to be the user facing version. No concerns about backwards compatibility or anything. It's purely user experience focused. If they want to change to "apt get" for installing because they feel its good

My point was more that there are people who buy Apple regardless of quality or features. If you buy Apple because it's the best for you, go for it. I agree that they are quality built laptops. You don't find people who are dedicat

These are the exact reasons. People act like GMO means we are uncontrollably mutating crops with potential dangers involved with "playing God"... We've been using radiation and selective breeding to alter DNA in the past. It&

As a vim user, esc is pretty important. I would say the author clearly knows very little computer specs: "The MacBook Pro had options with 2.4 gigahertz dual-core processors back in 2010. Anything new in 2016? Not really, well… nope.&q

It's amazing how people act like they have the "right" to post some content anywhere. Youtube, facebook, reddit, hacker news are all private organizations. They are not legally obligated to host your content (in some cases, l

And while the name is perhaps misleading to the xommon layperson, your comment of "it is not in fact an autopilot" is flat out wrong. Instead perhaps "it is in fact an autopilot, but you don't know what an autopilot is o

I don't disagree with that. But that makes it at best a "semi-necessity". But that just makes the whole "if you give someone in need 600$, they will spend it on an iphone" MORE valid. If you need status symbols just

If more than the top 30% of people have iphones (or equally expensive phones), then some percentage of people did exactly that. There is going to be a huge intersection of people with less than 1000$ in savings, but have an iPhone. Perhaps

You say that like "ISPs" are some mythical non-human entity. SOMEONE has to make that decision, and the more educated on the topic of potential threats the person making the decision is, the better the reaction time and mitigation

I agree that I dont like that system (and may be the reason that it hasnt been done), but I'm not fully sure of alternatives either. But, I dont think a client should transition from one to the other either. I often just get up and wal

This has been the #1 reason that I havent convinced people to use tox yet. I sometimes get up and walk away from a computer mid conversation, expecting to continue the conversation on my phone. It's the same reason I won't be usin

The headline says "to expose corporate greed" The premise is that $57 was the old price. and they bumped it up to $318. And a DIY group can pull it off for $30, without economy of scale. From wikipedia "In 2007 when Mylan acq

Appreciate the effort. Ive had lots of issues with other open source HN apps. This one looks and works great so far. Would've loved an fdroid release, but an open app with github releases is more than can be said about most other apps,

Daniel Craig isn't the person at stake here. Neither is James Bond. The point is that the product is on screen because someone made a monetary deal for it to happen. Call it "placement", but companies wouldnt be forking over

I imagine the change in things would be that brands would stop paying so much for product placement. Which would wind up with a much more natural movie, instead of the forced placement that is usually as glaring and distracting as a #ad on

I know a lot of people who used to get upset about kids ignoring conversations for their "texting machines" and those same people now will dictate a text message in the middle of a conversation and give me the look like IM the one

I had inherited a dual xeon 64gb ram server and I started tinkering with home server stuff. But its loud and hot and very much meant for a datacenter and not a basement. So I'm working on migrating the server to raspberry pi's and

DRM free flac is one of the main reasons I go bandcamp when available. I have my own in home media server, so being able to actually have the songs is important.

That seems to imply that you pick up your cat and have him press the button so you can say "it wasnt me!"... whereas in your case, you did not coerce the cat to press the button for you, so was it truly your instrument, or random

The #1 thing I want from a chatting/calling app is the ability to have a synchronized conversation on my phone and my desktop. Facebook and google handle this really well. When I'm at my computer, i dont want to pick up my phone.

Oh I know. right now. Hoping that high density storage would drive down the price on the new "bottom" end.

Agreed. I use my laptop as a VNC viewer to my desktop, or a terminal. My wife uses it for browsing facebook. I only need a 200$ machine

My GPU situation is definitely not resolved. I can't get it to switch to the discrete 90% of the time. and then when I do, I cant get it to swap seamlessly between intel for desktop and radeon for games. So my laptop is delegated to be

I just got a new case, ironically my old case was near silent ( i could hear the physical whirring of the disks and that's about it). My new one has the little rubber gaskets on the mounting screws, but the drive is mounted against a m

This was part of my thought. I'll not be buying a 100tb SSD in the next 2 years I imagine. But if they are available, buying a 4tb SSD might be within my price range. Im currently using about 3tb of HDDs and looking to expand. HDD seem

That seems to be referring to using docker images as part of the build process. Im referring to using docker images as the deliverable. I mostly want to just have a gui to do "docker pull x" "docker stop xcon && docke

At home servers are extra space and electricity, AND potential outages if your ISP isn't 100% stable. I had outages sporadically for 2 weeks because a squirrel chewed through some coax outside my house. Im glad I didn't sporadical

In this case, that's what "broken" means. Not that there is something technically wrong, but that they are doing things that they shouldn't.
