Whatever the problem is, all I know is that last year Linode said they tried and failed to get Microsoft to actually fix the problem[0], apparently despite assurances and multiple requests for a root cause analysis. Everyone else seems to h

Linode respond swiftly to abuse reports[0], block outgoing SMTP by default, and prevent so many people from even registering for services that it is the #1 question people ask on their IRC channel. What more should they do? What is “enough”

I guess my question is can you please fix your braindead blacklisting? Several times per year—I can practically guarantee it’ll happen sometime in December, and indeed had to deal with this just five days ago—I end up with a bunch of users

When the APA released their guidance on the use of social media by adolescents[0] earlier this year, they cited a study[1] that described the impacts of instructive[2] (a.k.a. active) versus restrictive[3] parental mediation in preventing c

I’m not the op—they explicitly stated programming is not a skill like reading or writing—but I’ll go down this rhetorical path for fun and say: sure, why not? The utopian aim of technology is all about offloading burdensome work so we can

In addition to the suggestions others have made for locally testing workflows, there are also reverse shell actions[0] that can be used for troubleshooting CI failures on the GH runners themselves. [0] https://github.com/mxs

This part of the discussion is mainly about economics, not expression. The parent argument was that AI will force artists to spend more time engaging in non-artistic pursuits because the amount of money the market will pay for artwork will

Could you please be more specific which vast powers and heavy handed regulatory approaches you are referring to? The last two times net neutrality was in the news (during the initial reclassification, and then the repeal), the main claim th

There is a secondary issue: Even on projects where someone is interested in doing polish work, since it usually takes longer to polish than to write a new feature, those who only care about writing features cause the backlog of things tha

Apple don’t use semantic versioning. macOS 10.15 broke all 32-bit software. If that’s not an incompatible version update, I don’t know what is.

Right or wrong, it can be a really difficult thing to do when the problem behaviour is not due to malice. You’re taking away a community from someone, and in my experience, usually it’s someone who doesn’t have many other social outlets. It

Just based on a cursory examination, you seem to be cherry-picking from your citation and omitting words that appear in that study, like “slightly”, to make it sound as if there was some sort of significant growth of the Antarctic ice sheet

Edit: I moved this comment to reply directly to the OP at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37251831 since that seems like a better place for it.

IP range is definitely a problem. I manage to get blacklisted a couple times per year by Hotmail, who still only support IPv4, despite SNDS always saying everything is fine. They don’t seem to care that blocking a whole IPv4 netrange of a r

I guess the OP thinks anyone sufficiently motivated by financial self-interest such that they won’t want the job unless it pays ‘enough’ is also someone who is going to be more open to bribery because they value personal wealth too much.

The insane thing about this is to me that Exxon did seem to have ideas about pivoting away from oil and gas in the 1970s[0]. They funded research that brought down the cost of solar panels five-fold and started manufacturing and selling t

I feel like it may be helpful for you to try to understand how poorly constructed this argument is by reflecting on all of the pain and evil that has been enabled by allowing something you enjoy or care about to exist. How confident do you

Based on a quick search, they are probably referring to this study[0] which states “One fish serving can be equivalent to drinking water for a month at 48 ppt PFOS”. The EWG map of PFAS in fish[1] provides some specific measurements on fish

What you are describing basically matches my experience. Whether I’m doing a blame or a code review, if I’m reading commit messages, I’m doing it to understand why some thing is the way it is. Reciting what changed in 70 characters instead

Ask HN: Should commit summaries describe the change, or the intent?

The story of the barely surviving artist that needs extremely long copyright durations to eat and keep a roof over their heads is an emotionally compelling one, but I’ve never seen it backed up by data—and I’ve looked quite hard to try to f

It seems to me like you are describing an unlikely situation where a lot of conditions would need to be true for >20 year copyright to make sense: 1. Many artists are commercial failures for over two decades, but eventually succeed; 2. T

The link in the article about emphasising phonics[0] vaguely answers that question in the reverse, in terms of what was being taught instead; a podcast series from 2022 called Sold a Story[1] (transcripts also available at the link) gives a
