Exactly. I read statements like that as either hyperbole or plain bullshit. Either way, they're not really helpful or profound.

Depends on what you mean by "usability" .. For me, LInux/BSD is much more usable than Windows 7 & Mac OSX for some tasks . Windows wins some as well. I cant think of, at the top of my head, anything OSX does best usability wise for me.

" This is because the largest contributor to code quality is the coder " Even if that's true, it doesn't support your claim.. The language still matter, even if it turns out that it's not the most important part.

I'm sorry I jumped to the wrong conclusion. Not very sorry, but a little bit. FWIW, it deserve respect to shut down something you built with your own money. In hindsight, I think you would have gotten an entirely different response had you

My theory is that this would die down after a while if you don't "feed" it.. at least for most people. What is your experience? Have you ever tried to force silence upon yourself?

This is just off the top my my head. Some of these might be plain wrong since I haven't spent that much time with the newest versions.. - General lack of configureability. I'm used to things like fluxbox and kde where "everything" can be co

" OS X is a pretty good example of how an operating system can be simple enough for regular users to use but still have advanced options that power users and technical users require " Funny, because I see OS X as an example of how an OS can

Oh, OK.. I just assumed that was common since the biggest carrier here in Norway does. Costs ~5$ pr month though.. Gemini is the service for you to use two phones. You get an additional SIM card and can use both phones with the same subscr

If that's literally making you insane, I'd say you have worse problems.. BTW, Many carriers offer 2 sim's with the same number.

Lose them to who? Bet he was thinking about Windows 7, Vista and XP

Also, I believe a lot of companies and people skipped Vista and was eager to upgrade to Windows 7. But I still think his overall point holds: "force" people to choose and they might choose something else.

Then again, when I reached the part where he says "I actually like the fact that there are not many Erlang libraries available" I started wondering whether this entire article is a giant troll... Why? I wouldn't think like that, but I do

Yes, I agree.. Found this [1], which might be helpful. The linked python program shows really high numbers for me though. Hopefully it's incorrect or I just misunderstand what the numbers mean. [1] https://communities.netapp.com/thread/13

I recently removed some code that stat'd 4000 files over NFS. It took ~5 seconds, so it wasn't as bad as you say. Also, I'm pretty sure NFS can do better if you tune it.

The "you cannot sell for less elsewhere" rule is bullshit though. My first thought is to have the same price, but give not-so-selective "selective" discounts to people elsewhere, giving them an incentive to not buy it from Amazon. Would t

I'm not GP, but I also though "about-face" was an error. I'm impressed as well, but there are errors like: "e-bokgiganten" (the e-book giant), "type IT consultant Linn.." (wrote the IT consultant..) and I don't think "Spread Monday blog po

Some context is implied in all communication. Most people who read HN do, and more to the point, they have an Internet connection and loosing that would alienate them from contemporary society.

Even DRM-less? That makes no sense. I agree on the DRM content though.. The problem is that most people will probably not.

Same here.. pictures of physical things are a very poor replacement for the actual thing.

by gizzlon 14y ago
"..these days being cut off from the Internet is to alienate contemporary society..." for you actually, GP's statement is true for most people "in the west", adding "for you" is just silly..

Some banks rely on Java. Also, I guess a lot of browser-based management of enterprise computing "stuff" runs as a Java applets as well. I've used server and SAN managers that require Java.

yeah, and he's entitled to his opinion, of course. It's up to us as readers and listeners to determine if the opinions hold any merit.

Well, Linus is wrong. We all do this every day, and have written and unwritten rules to enforce it. Just because he can code, doesn't mean he has reflected on other things..

This makes a lot of sense to me. Why bother your main DB with a lot of simple "queries" like these when: 1) They're so easy to move out to something else 2) You main DB probably runs on very expensive hardware, unneccessary expensive for th
