It's really disappointing that people could get so worked up, over what is essentially deciding which color to paint the shed, that they chase off the project founder. I wonder if there is any way for open source communities to effect

I'd bet on tetris. I think there are more independent unlicensed implementations of tetris than any other game ever. Any particular implementation of it may wither away, but I bet if there are still programmers in a thousand years,

In the past when I was using a rasppi (v1) as my media player, I used the SD card only for booting off of. The media files themselves were persisted on my nas, served over nfs. Using network storage really seems like the way to go, parti

I'm sure this is a dumb question on account of how obvious it seems to me, but has anybody tried simply putting real heatsinks on this thing? Not putting it in an Al case or something milquetoast like that, but actually putting a p

I believe snowwrestler is asking you to trust your gut and preconceived biases to lead you to the truth, in lieu of being an expert in the field with empirical data to examine. Ironically, going with their gut is precisely what many of the

You're failing to consider the possibility that there is a public interest in maintaining privacy for 911 calls. It could be the case that people are more hesitant to call in something if they know the recording will become public.

How is that ironic? Because HN was written in Arc, denigrating PHP is ironic? I don't get it. Edit: Oh, because the article is on the PHP subreddit. To be honest I file PHP developers using MySQL under expected, not ironic.
