quick summary: not a huge change one that is interesting is that they've improved `ifdef to allow boolean combinations. it was previously hard to accomplish what CPP can do with #if. i wish there were change bars, but could not find a

welp, that's sort of the core bug in democracy then, isn't it? until someone comes up with a better way, it's a "can't fix" - all known alternatives are far worse. >> if everyone did this, then it would

i don't do this. while it's a romantic ideal to "not believe in lesser-evilism", it doesn't help anyone. someone is going to be elected, with or without your voluntary participation. so rather than vote (or not) for

this should have been an "Ask HN: " but, this is an important question. my personal takeaways/suggestions so far are: - i question the footprint and other choices like distro-maintained patches that lead systemd to be linke

the entire industry aims to do this. the principle method will inevitably evolve to be increasing the base price of ICE until parity is reached.

i knew there was an advantage to being 8-10 years out of date at all times... and when they do port finally backport this bug in 2026, they will probably implement the systemd integration with openssl (pbthththt...) via 600 patch files in

indeed, don't disagree. still toxic and more lucky than good (in the bill/jobs/musk) cases. don't even get me started on the non-technical CEOs. they suck even far worse.

bill gates was a very subpar developer. that's not help, that's narcissistic meddling and micromanaging. if he was good at anything technical, or arguably business strategy, ms-dos wouldn't have been the utter garbage that

and while the fact related to the risk of flying vs. driving are probably true, they are off-topic and irrelevant. the reason that large airline safety in the US is so overwhelmingly good is the preceding 20, 30, 40, 50? years of continuous

that is an absolutely insane take. first of all, if a loan allows early payoff without a penalty, then it's your prerogative to take that option anytime you feel like it with absolutely no moral qualm. that's the point of writte

x86 doesn't "need to die". long lasting designs that earned their keep and have proven are valuable. so from that standpoint, i agree with the premise. the problem is that the article makes too much reliance on bad argument

did you flag my comment with the same link? someone did and it is quite impolite. i actually totally presume it was not you, but hopefully people will see this. that was just plain rude. and frankly an abuse of flagging a comment.

i think i have done most of these at one time or another. for example: strain gauge, random number generator, glitch generator, antenna. unfortunately always unintentionally. which is much, much, less fun.

that's like saying the 18th century was more "civilized" because we settled squabbles with dueling pistols. people are still people and we are just about as civilized today as we ever were. which isn't saying much. the a
