Why do people on HN throw these stats out comparing poor people to poor people? We are all tech workers on HN. I'm not living in Alabama. When I compare my living situation I'm comparing my premium healthcare in Los Angeles to wha

Watching all UK folks in denial is too funny.

Yea cause we throw more money at it. Our facilities are far superior. In California where I live though folks with little money get very subsidized healthcare that is cheaper than NHS taxes.

I would expect a mature code base like rsync to have a lot of unit tests and integration tests and frankly if there's not enough that such bugs haven't been caught; that should be your first use of LLMs in order to setup some dete

You do know that one is literally the worst one right? It's like you walked in and went "I'm using Netscape" Well whatever you'll find out.

Wayland is a protocol. Not a program. The top compositors right now for desktop are KDE Plasma, Hyprland, Gnome/Mutter and all of them implement the Wayland protocol independently. For game wrappers Valve makes Gamescope ( https:/

That helps me exactly zero when I'm running something that is compiled for Linux and has no context in which to use the windows version. Which may not even be compiled with the same ./configure settings and would therefor potentia

What's the point of this question? It doesn't matter. The entire point of wsl is to be able to run code compiled for Linux on Windows. ffmpeg underpins so many things these days. It could be used to extract frames in a PHP based w

Here's a pre-configured Fedora based distro that is zero clicks. You sign into Steam and go. Drivers are preinstalled. You literally sign into steam and hit play. https://nobaraproject.org/

Linux drivers are now first class and are faster and easier to install than any Windows drivers. There's no bullshit extras with them. They just work. Plus steam launches games in containers so there's zero configuration. If you d

What I'm supposed to write a book to account for every random bullshit scenario to assuage your adhd overthinking? This shit is exhausting. If you don't want good financial advice move on. I'm not replying to you anymore.

Presumably the 67k spend contains the car repair, house repair, hospital stay part you mentioned. Everything you're saying is accounted for. Your argument is basically anti social security. I'm saying make your own social security

by hparadiz 5mo ago
I dunno why people keep bringing this up as some sort of gotcha. You don't save for retirement based on your average. You do it during your peak earning years. Which are far above average. And most households have more than one earner.

by hparadiz 5mo ago
The average household income in the US is $83,730 and the median is $121,000. It's also irrelevant. The average is weighed down by students and retirees. If you look at only people in their peak earning years (40-50) then the median ju

It literally is. People just have no discipline or skills with money. Go on the fire subreddit. 25k saved per year is a million after twenty years with a modest very conservative amount. And if you can double that with a spouse you're
