Not sure why you're fixated on the whole Linux kernel - we're talking about a small pool of volunteers supporting complex modules. There are good laptops out there other than Macs... Lenovo, HP, Dell, etc all have offerings which

> I just don't think that it makes up for depending on a small team of volunteers to resolve all hardware issues in an ecosystem hostile to OSS This. The volunteer pool is too small. And you're supporting a shitty company.

Cryptocurrency could be used here to both decentralize and incentivize such a system. I think a major hurdle would be the fact torrents have been "free" since their inception. PoS is irrelevant here - it's a mechanism that li

Yeah... battery swapping seems like the next big thing for e-vecs. Imagine we shared batteries and all batteries must have some sort of reporting mechanism to report its life and charge holding and it must always be at 80% before being repu

I use string templates for small hidden services and I have never ever once ran into a problem. So yeah, really no issue. Anyone complaining otherwise is being really picky about subtleties in particular contexts. At large they completely w

Isn't this comparable to any other situation where you reference something outside a project, even in C with libraries? (I've never used HTMX or even looked beyond this page for it, so maybe what I'm about to say is logicall

As a vim-first dvorak-second person, remapping vim is a mistake. You try it at first, then you realize it's a pointless battle. The defaults in dvorak are actually great. 11 year dvorak user.

You have a point; not sure why the downvotes. It's a legitimate comment.

I'm having this issue also right now. I'm trying to play through it, but what really had me stopped at the beginning was the indirection, not knowing where to go, or if I was really headed in the right direction. It's not a p

> Depending on who you talk to, hacking doesn't even mean technology. It's more of an artful blend of craftsmanship and trickery in whatever problem domain you face. Exactly this. I use the term hacker in its original form.

This is why I stopped calling HN, HN. It's YCombinator news. It's not news for hackers - maybe at one point, but not anymore and not for awhile. It may even be seen as looked down on because you're posting on a site run by ve

Same experience here. Are there advertisement accounts posting here or something? Legitimately weird.

> it is built into the nature of the system I would love to see an elaboration. I think you're saying this because it's in their interest for wide appeal and so will adjust their "products" as necessary to please.

There will and probably already are server implementations that are resource minimal and easy setup. There's nothing about ActivityPub that stops this.

Honestly a great idea. Not being able to afford outings is a huge barrier to socializing.

Frame it this way... what do we already do when person X uses tool Y wrong (and tool Y is not malfunctioning) and does damage? Do you sue the tool manufacturer? Rarely, if ever. You sue the person using it.

Gonna say, seeing the "worked time" is actually really helpful to put me back on task. "What, I've only done 14 minutes?"

It's been proven that yeah it does. I suspect they've been retraining Copilot in the past months to have not made this initial training mistake.

I really argue the opposite: it's really something you dont. A ton of people see LISP and get scared away.
