No, we don't need them. Look at the OpenWRT ecosystem and the routers it runs on. Those cheap plastic routers come with pretty dumb bootloaders and it works. Its just the x86 platform that is shite.

My favourite pet peeves that i love to complain about (repeatedly): - The GPT partition scheme inherited mixed-endianness UUID from Windows 3.1. Some people argue it does not qualify as mixed-endianness, but it is the struct from Windows 3.

DB has the worst company culture that I'm aware of. Everything has to go by plan, and when it doesn't, someone has to be responsible. So everyone is just ass-covering all them time and not taking any risks. This has removed the po

One of the YT commenters got it pretty well: Modern day philanthropy is primarily self-serving and ego-driven more than it is actual altruism. A bunch of very wealthy people, largely divorced from reality, seeking accolades and affirma

A while ago carbon capture startups were somewhat known on HN. I remember because i argued under seemingly each of them that their concept is not sound in terms of thermodynamics. So when i saw this VOX article, i felt the need to post this

The coherence theory is testing against the human understanding, not against reality itself (the map vs territory thing). And the consensus and pragmatic theories are not about truth, they are about consensus and usefulness, which are diffe

I think this is a cultural issue with the Windows world. Look at Projects like ssh and git, who exist for both, but on Windows, they get shipped without documentation. Not even for the Windows-specific things. Want to know where to put your
