Thank you for your comment, perhaps I was too harsh. Must be shell-shock from other commercial/open-source products. onus is a formal word for responsibility or obligation. Until recently, the authors only had a responsibility to their

So you would prefer an Utopia where nobody pays for other people's work but they still make it available for free and work on it forever? From the news it didn't seem like they are abandoning it.

For every odd situation I see in HN comments there comes somebody like you saying: "why, I just did that yesterday!". A location getting good ratings from other people in the same city that rent 2 other apartments is so odd it sho

Then it sure is nice that HN shows (bloomberg.com) in there. Bloomberg can get hits by showing conflicting views or just about anything. I suggest HN be changed to show opinion sections of major sites differently.

I didn't claim it's trivial or not. The message itself is confusing. There are 3 concerns here: beta, Stripe, countries and it's no clear how they inter-relate from the blog posts. As far as I can tell now, no-beta==Stripe Co

Thanks. The blog post could be edited a bit then. It says: > GitHub Sponsors is now out of beta and generally available to developers with bank accounts in 30 countries and growing. and the link points to https://help.github.c

I don't understand. They offer: Stripe Connect, ACH transfer, or wire transfer. Only Stripe Connect (whatever that is) seems to have a list of countries. Wire transfer should work all over the place.

Presumably it comes from academia, they have things such as peer review, the paper is presumably public and they will have to defend it, including with some data. How does one determine which experts and authority are actually trustworthy?

This might explain the Windows Home unstoppable telemetry. With all this information Windows better become flawless.

I agree with your remarks. There certainly are sites out there in need of dynamic behaviour. But that long tail has a lot of restaurant websites and such where nothing is really needed.

I don't remember it this way at all. Git always had the halo of the tool kernel devs use, written by Linus himself. There was no escaping this. Mercurial slowness was never a problem for me, and these were the times before SSD! It prob

Yes, and that in absolute terms people in Romania pay more than people in the US. A comparable price in US would probably be closer to $15. I don't know how to compute this with some public purchasing power parity numbers but I would b

Refreshing angle but I don't see how it would help with college admission. We have admission exams at some Universities here. That seems to give everybody an equal shot. You may hide your previous grades and attendance but you can&#x27

Last I looked in Europe the price is more like $65, about the same as a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB of RAM. I know technical books are expensive and the book has 688 pages but it seems expensive. If somebody wants to ship their used SICP book i

You didn't mention what are you doing with the laptop? If you filter by laptops with the same weight, screen resolution, fast CPU, etc., etc. there's going to be a small list of laptops of comparable price. So, if you start being

So, if the same person happens to hit a repost and still holds the same opinion they want to publicly state, they are supposed to rephrase it? How does that help your signal/noise ratio: this seems to increase noise. And I totally see

This explanation seems somehow off... Wouldn't a 1-2 years degree still show conformity and conscientiousness and delayed gratification? 1-2 years is no small thing. Don't normal employees also get bored and leave for a different
