I recommend you ask your parents where the acid came from when we last blew tons of sulfur into the atmosphere...

This reminds me of Germany, where flights between Munich and Berlin are at a constant 40€(easyjet)/50€(Lufthansa) for booking next day, since the public train company has a 4hr service during "rush-hour" now (nextday booking

the most probable cause is there aren't any contractors available anymore in the US who are able/willing to build such things. This is really sad.

back then the US had still a solid industrial base outside of a oligopolic, capitalistic industrial-military-complex which is only interested in making money by milking the government (as opposed to making money in the long-term by supporti

but still there's probably enough companies out there paying half a remote sysadmin in fees for such a service ;).

I'm not sure what's mean-spirited about the simple statement that the size/complexity of the npm-eco-system arises only from personal/corporate business-decisions. But thanks for telling me anyways ;)

and if you look closely, 70 of those dependents are just small-scale/bs packages and the only sensible real dependency is cross-spawn _via_ the shebang package (which applies this regex to a string). The whole ecosysten could use a pur

Tell me, why one needs packages such as this except for personal (and ultimately npm) marketing: https://github.com/sindresorhus/shebang-regex - the whole thing smells

I guess it's a little bit of both. First mistake they made was that they tasked local contractors (think O(1) people) with forking their very own linux distro from Ubuntu. Then they put a lot of ressources into the KDE3-fork which was

I'm not even sure where the notion appeared that they have a systemic, large scale labview dependence. I always thought their data acquisition pipeline was a lot of custom electronics, piping data into fibre-channel? Not exactly sure,

I guess "powered by Microsoft" is not what was happening at CERN as nearly all data analysis is "powered by Linux" (there's a reason, Scientific Linux existed) and iirc the ecad-software KiCAD is the only production

12 hours, that's early, according to a friend of mine doing his PhD in ML/NN (or as he put it: everyone uses L²-loss and SGD - it's just not original)... He also thinks that the quality of papers from a formal standpoint is v

though nextcloud definitely is a lot more than: "a folder to sync your files". but hey, apparently even VC in search of growth sometimes notices that their path is not the best.

looks nice! though the focus on proprietary API-based backends (?!) is a bit puzzling? how about commiting to a git repo on the web server. Running within nextcloud?

did you ever "program" in LibreOffice with Python. Last time I checked, the API were veeery thin wrappers around the Java-API itself - I guess that this is hindering adoption (and not not having bindings to X)

yeah, on Android Firefox+uBlock is definitely an interesting tradeoff. Without it Firefox is (or I perceive it that way) a lot slower than Chrome - with adblocking things get even. I seriously hope that they dont mess up their new android b

I understand this too, but being on HN, familiarity with the CLI probably can be taken for granted. For all the other people this will stop them from using shady sites, but even some of them might like to have some more options included in
