Yeah, they should've consulted Hacker News first before doing this study.

What happens when Matter gets acquired? I'm sorry, but all this self back-patting is a bit too little too late for this jaded guy, especially because a thousand other companies have made the same promises in cheery blog posts, before s

If it isn't obvious already that cryptocurrency is one giant grift, then I don't know how many more stories are going to help. The SEC or Congress or someone with power needs to just make it illegal, or else this kind of thing wil

Y'all're gonna hate this, but financialization and the relentless pursuit of profits. Every time this stuff happens, people ask why, and it's because of greed. When you focus on making money above all else, this is what happe

You're telling me Facebook, with its billions of dollars and leetcode interviews, can't figure this out? That is outside the realm of computable functions?

Your own company could've sold it to data brokers. Look into Equifax's Work Number score, it includes fun things like where you worked and how much you made. But no, let's not unionize or anything.

It's distressing and sad that we've come to expect so little from the trillion-dollar market cap companies to which we are beholden to participate in modernity.

Gzip exists, and text compresses pretty well. Unless it's 20 MB of JavaScript just to render some text, that you're best just removing.

Fads and lack of education? HTML is better than ever, and authoring it isn't that bad. I do it for my own personal site, and I haven't keeled over yet. It's still allowed!

That's because lots of banking is still fairly manual, and clearing takes 2-3 days in the United States. FedNow should help, but ACH still reigns, and transactions still take time. Ask Congress and the banks why things are still so slo

This is what we have attorneys and judges for. And no, obviously Thanksgiving isn't "hanging out". But going to the same weekly meeting and practicing lynching minorities? Yeah, that's a little more than just mashed pota

Then there's probably a reason, like the changes haven't been tested yet or verified to make sure they don't FUBAR your machine. It's okay to go a little slower to ensure reliability. Plus, do you really want the latest

In the same way a zip file is static linking, I guess, since Docker images are just tarred gzips. But .deb packages can include files and scripts that create directories, too.

The benefit of waiting for maintainers to update your software is that you have a stronger guarantee that it won't break your system, or otherwise fubar something. Maintainers are the adults in the room saying "no, fix your shit&q

Debugging Docker-anything makes me want to go into drywall, I swear.

Not everybody can work at the same washed-up Silicon Valley panopticon providers, you know. Some people need to be, like, accountants and stuff.

Probably! It's just unfortunate that we don't have any sort of New Deal, good jazz clubs, or Art Deco to make it suck less.

Agreed. It's hard to confront the fact that your sweet, old neighbor lady across the street shows up to screech at city council meetings every week because someone wants to build an apartment building. Multiply this times 40 million, a

I can't speak for anyone else, but I definitely feel like there's no time to actually learn about all of these tools before being thrown into them by management/other well-meaning ICs. The end result is everyone is using a to

Grab a developer off the street and ask them how Docker works. Most of them will have no idea.

It makes people uncomfortable to think that maybe massive, powerful companies do bad things, especially if they are either employed by one or hope to start one of their own. It's not fun being on the other side of the wealth divide in

Sleep studies exist, and they're fairly advanced, is my understanding. For most people, though, it'll be possibly difficult lifestyle changes, like reducing light in the room, better bedding, less noise, not sleeping with a partne

I've never seen a more zombified human being than when a friend had a fussy baby who simply would not sleep. Two hours a night was her and her husband's norm, sometimes. Godspeed, I hope you can get some rest soon. (Also, congratu

This is basically dynamic linking: you have foo.so sitting somewhere on disk, and multiple processes can just load it whenever. It can't be read-only, though; you need to add new libraries to that directory eventually.

Docker punches holes in it: >By default, all external source IPs are allowed to connect to the Docker host. To allow only a specific IP or network to access the containers, insert a negated rule at the top of the DOCKER-USER filter chain

Someone did once joke that Docker is just static linking for millennials. I chuckle because there's a kernel of truth in there. ;)

Filesystems solve linking insofar as the libraries themselves are on disk; otherwise, this is squarely the responsibility of the loader.

Never underestimate the security and safety of a hidden piece of paper! If it's good enough for wills for the last 500 years, it's good enough for a password.

Honestly, that would probably fuck me up for a little while, knowing I was less than a minute away from probably being dead. I hope they're okay, mentally.

My mom is also overweight and having the resultant joint issues because of it now that it's been decades. I feel bad, because it just results in pain, which makes her move less, and it just becomes a vicious cycle. Some things provide
