Uh? Quite wrong. SCCS was created in 1973. We're talking about over a decade later. Also primitive forking, diffing and merging could be (painfully) done even with crude tools, which did exist.

bankinfosecurity.com has been spamming me on my work email, which I never provided to them, clearly having bought the address "somewhere". Please don't link to them, this rewards their shitty conduct.

My iPad connects to the internet quite seamlessly via bluetooth tethering through my iPhone, so I could cheap out and get the Wi-Fi model (and not pay for an additional monthly mobile plan). They could make this even more transparent and se

I fully, fully concur with the experience as a user. Sadly that's irrelevant to their financials - first of all this is now what, 5% of their revenue stream? And despite the shittiness, even that 5% is doing great because their audienc

The problems with Google in my own personal experience and POV indeed pretty much coincide with the end of Eric Schmidt's tenure as CEO. It's sad, as a nerd, but it started going to shit when the nerds got in the driving seat, and

The heat we directly dump into the environment, except where it affects the local ecosystem directly (e.g. warm rivers killing local wildlife, algae blooms) is a quite laughable portion of the global warming problem - greenhouse gases are m

You know what's even more shocking about the attitude of the nordic countries? It works pretty nicely, try visiting those places.

On the other hand, unless your eyesight is _phenomenal_, on a 10 inch screen it may be challenging to see details in higher resolution, so I'm OK with that. I tried it and it works quite nicely, but even next to a 14inch laptop it look

If you're this good when trolling for 5 minutes, I would be amazed to see you work seriously. Honestly some of those ideas are... terrible, of course, but awesome in their own distorted way. And also very Ive-like. Bravo, sir.

I dislike Facebook as much as the next guy, probably more, but this stuff is news for hackers. And it's not even particularly beneficial for them to be featured on HN, we're a rather critical audience.

Apple probably realized that they've been selling USB-C cables for years, even in their own stores, and those might have lacked an MFi certification. Better to avoid the ridicule and do the right thing for once.
