It's interesting and surprising to me that so many like the look of this. The fonts look grainy. The widgets are blocky and crude. At least, that's my take on the aesthetic. To each his own, I guess.

In Australia we use proportional representation to elect the federal senate (upper house). It is used at state level too, in some states. I used to be of the opinion that it was fairer. I no longer think so. I agree with former PM Paul K

At the risk of flogging a dead horse, and in the interests of honesty, [1] is a comment that I thought was an example of one downvoted unfairly. It wasn't the first one I've seen downvoted where I thought "Why? It seems the

That's fair. Comments on HN don't have a permalink, do they? If so I would have made reference to one that I actually commented on the downvoting of. Regarding your assessment of my comments, I'm beginning to wonder if your

It's not my comments I'm arguing for. I don't think I'm that hard-done-by. I'm referring to gray comments that don't seem to be particularly hostile, but are just, say, conservative (for example) in nature. Pe

Can I comment on moderation since this thread is about censorship and free speech? I guess we'll find out. Seems I've lost a point. Someone took exception to what I said above. Not sure how I went wrong, but if enough people fe

Is this true for games? I read an article[1] some years ago that pointed out the OO design (with C++ in this case) was bad for performance due to the data not being arranged in a particularly cache-friendly way. [1] http://harmf

Is it sensible (viable, potentially profitable, possible) for Intel to build RISC-V CPUs? Could they collaborate with Dell or Lenovo and make RISC-V based SoCs to go into laptops to compete with the macs?

My problem is with the description of that action as a "coup". I'm not defending those people. I'm not informed well enough to do that. But a coup? I don't think so. Coups generally rely on military support, or

Are you seriously suggesting that Trump & co are in that league?? If so, can you lay out the case for me? Even just a few links for me to check out would be good. Comments like yours, here on HN, would lead me to the conclusion that T

The OP was talking about genuine, honest communication. I think these rituals in work teams have the correct idea. Their hearts are in the right place, so to speak, but it doesn't really work perfectly. As you've said some can

Trump is not a fascist. He's not far-right. Mere nationalist tendencies do not make one a fascist. From wikipedia:- "Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictator

Are there no other suggestions beyond the 2012 MBP? I use arch linux on a Lenova Thinkpad T580, and I'm really happy with it, but I'm not sure about the colour accuracy of the screen. I doubt it's as good as you find on an A
