I don’t think its misleading in a malicious way. But it is misleading in the sense that the title did not at all describe the ultimate content. I would not have clicked if I knew where it lead. The confused comments here show I'm not

This was one of the few times I was genuinely confused by a link on HN. I didn’t realize there was an author exception to the title rules and I’m not sure there should be. Its not the end of the world but one of the things I like best about

I think the only title that would satisfy site guidelines is the name of the app. They should have written a blog post with the story if they wanted to use this title.

In the Gimli glider case the aircraft wasn't legally allowed to take off. The pilots also deferred the decision on whether to take off to the maintenance crew who are not the ones authorized to make that decision. The pilots were ini

I'm not sure I agree collaboration makes change. Most of the major innovations I've seen have been one or two people going off and doing something the rest of the group said was impossible. If they had tried to get consensus it n

Users hate installing software and investors are used to immediate up to the minute metrics.

It's quite clear the library is no longer here. How exactly it was lost does matter as its destruction has been used to paint various groups as anti intellectual barbarians since ancient times. Eliminating the story as a weapon to at

I can gurantee there was no environmental impact assessment, comment period for local residents, nor mandatory safety training, rest periods, or other accommodations for the workers. Whether or not these things are a net positive they do se

He also has a history of calling people pedophiles for disagreeing with his designs. Even when they are domain experts and he is not. I think that’s more just PR and he’s not honestly seeking feedback.

If it works well enough that nobody has noticed support has stopped... Maybe the software is done?

Tin Eye or other reverse image searches would be table stakes. Just because something is out there on the internet doesn't mean its free for commecial use. Further hiring a contractor doesn't shield you from liability for copyrig

You use sdslen() instead of strlen(). Ditto for everything else. Failure to do so results in subtle bugs.

I drove 2 hours to get my 3900X. I was worried it would be too much horsepower but it spends a lot of its time >80% utilization. These cores are great for debugging threading issues. I would trade it for a 3950X if I could find one.

That's just simple competition that we've always had. Microsoft working on a competitor to your product was the huge fear of the 90s. Cloud providers competing with your own source code is a new phemonema. The original thesis wo

It's a bet they can take dramatic share from Intel. Intel earned $21bln last year, if they had AMD's market cap it would be a P/E of 2.07. If you don't believe AMD can take significant share away from Intel then the val

In this situation 1+1=0. If Timmy and Tommy go to war the frequency is effectively useless. Neither will be heard without severe interference.
