ENSIME was abandoned several years ago because the maintainer felt bullied[1] and LSP/Metals has a ways to go. [1] https://medium.com/@fommil/hide-your-real-name-in-open-sourc...

It's a good thing if they display that logo. A lot of users aren't (or weren't) aware that WhatsApp, or even Instagram, are owned by Facebook.

This IS an unreasonable and inappropriate comparison. Anecdotally I've been overworked by a diverse group of shitty bosses of a variety of races, nationalities, and genders over the years. Nobody has a monopoly on shitty management. Si

I've seen studies[1][2] which indicate that unconscious racial bias training increases racist attitudes among those who are put through it. If that's true, unconscious bias training might be worse than bullshit, it might be active

Hmm, the list is a little strange, as it includes a few entrants that are shadows of their former selves. I can speak to one that I'm personally familiar with: A Small Orange is a hosting company that sold to a conglomerate and the ent

This is quite a claim, but it's too vague for me to research independently. Where would I even start in exploring the "enormous body of law" that "incentivizes a top-down corporate business structure?" I am not aski

I'll speak for myself. I just jumped ship from a Scala team and took a pay hit to get out because it was so horrible. No one on the team had a strong command of the language, which made it worse. The application was a ball of mud. The

And also the ideology that has lifted half of the world's poor out of extreme poverty just since 2010 (not to mention the changes over the last century) so maybe we could give it a little credit.

Wow that was an absolutely fascinating read thank you so much!

To someone like me who has not used Facebook in over half a decade and finds the organization creepy, this is most certainly the opposite of a selling point.

by giggles_giggles 7y ago
This sounds like you are saying that reclassifying ISPs to be regulated under the FCC instead of the FTC would ban traffic shaping. Obviously not all packets are equal. VOIP is an example of a high priority protocol. BitTorrent is low prior

I believe it is and in fact I think I read an article here on HN not too long ago that talked about it. There seems to be an associated organization: https://www.forestschoolassociation.org/what-is-forest-schoo...

This is a weird comment that, in my experience, doesn't represent the reality of today's stay-at-home parents. I'd love to see hard data on this, but let me share my anecdotes in response to the middle paragraph here. My olde

I was under the impression that the other commenters were referring to HTTPS as a solution for those in China to protect themselves from their own government. Perhaps I was wrong.

by giggles_giggles 7y ago
If the Chinese government wants to man in the middle traffic to foreign sites they can just force PC vendors to install a CCP controlled CA root on systems and make it illegal and/or very difficult to remove it. Shit, they can require

It's pretty sexist to imply that only men exhibit this particular form of gatekeeping or making men in the minority of some hobby group feel out of place, and then coining a term for it with "men" right in the name, as though

Then I feel like I really must be dense. Doesn't this mean that there's still an incentive to hoard land while nearby land is improved, so that you can sell at a profit? And if that's the case, for the purpose of dissuading l

by giggles_giggles 7y ago
I like the idea of a land value tax more than a property tax, but I feel like I'm missing something. If I sit on an empty lot while the city builds up around me, doesn't the unimproved value of my land still go up?

The problem with restricting speech to only "true" speech is that then the truth is defined by those in power and those who disagree may not speak.

"In the West, it's just all gone to the very wealthy" is also a claim that is broad, hard to define, and is empty without evidence. Of course those who pay attention to these sorts of things know that the reality is more comp

It's not hypocritical to look at a Chinese app and question the motives of the censors there. Obviously their censors are controlled by the CCP. I dont have children yet but if I did they would not be allowed on TikTok, period. But the

Or just go to a better venue with decent mixing. I've been to rock shows in small venues that were at a reasonable volume, believe it or not.
