Here's another motivation: stupidity in thinking that they will make the world better this way.

What's wrong with people is their political correctness, which blinds them to the point that they can't accept the fact that every country has its intelligence doing some dirty work. The human rights are violated in some way anyway. Try run

Sadly, crappy management is more ubiquitous than cowboy programmers.

My guess is that it may be the practice used since years by designers of printed maps, ang Google has just consulted the right people on the topic.

You know, western democracy isn't about leftist complaining and seeing oppression everywhere, but is about building things.

My favorite bash trick is to use it to install zsh and move on. But seriously. C'mon people please stop saying bash when you really mean command line of a typical Unix. Same for saying Linux when you mean a family of Unices. Please also con

Not playing devil's advocate here, but a deep concern: Today's world is full of programmers posing as production administrators, while the solution is to employ administrators and move on. I've seen so many production failures because of ad

Have a look at elastichosts.com - they provide VPS on KVM so basically you can run any OS you want. (I have no benefit from advertising this specific provider)

"Chaos VS Order" here is about release management practices, and if you look at it in detail you'll see in Linux they are chaotic indeed.

Btw wtf is with TSA, mean how did it make its way here? What's hackish in it? It's a common practice that if you have some hot social topic you come to the pub to talk it over. Not to spam every possible internet place with what's actually

People tend to make decisions based on emotions and rationalize it afterwards. Intuition seems to be a refreshing outbreak from the above: it seems to be an early information you consciously have and before any emotional attachment - liki

I was referring to all kinds of tea. After about three minutes of steeping the tannin, which neutralizes the effect of caffeine, gets into the liquid. Apart from that there are other substances, I don't know English translation atm, which a

I apologize for mistake, for a moment I thought 'pour' has a different meaning. English is not my native language and I lack some vocabulary esp. in non-tech area. I meant: steep tea leafs in hot water for at most 3 minutes then take the le

2 liters of water a day. White tea. Clears the mind and raises energy smoother & better than coffee, without later energy drop. Remember that as for any tea you cannot pour it for more than 3 minutes, otherwise it will make you more sle

What's "wrong" with stereotypes is that the political correctness mindset denies there's the truth underneath these stereotypes. But obviously is. My country has an healthy measure against correctness. We have lots of terrible jokes exploit

Left bank of the river is more expensive. You can find cheaper apartments on the right bank. Contrary to common belief Praga district is not ugly and dangerous as a whole and has nice locations, esp. Praga Południe. You trade paying less fo

Really cool. I go back to CL each year. Last couple of times I checked I wasn't able to get linedit working under my sbcl via a chain of simple asdf-installs, so CL went into my private oblivion. Great idea with some QA done to the released

This may be unpopular, but anyway, my recipe: 1. Don't use twitter. Remain offline as long as possible. 2. During the time you're offline do this: think / code / think / remove code / think / code tests / code (order may vary) I esp. like r

The funny yet encouraging thing is that I'm just passing the wisdom: I've heard of vmtouch here on HN :)

The situation antirez had in mind can be remedied by occasionally using a tool like vmtouch to steer what's in the OS cache.

I'm happy this book inspired you into some thinking. The question is, how is it going to practically change your life in a long term? I'm making this point just to strike a common misconception, not that you're certainly in it, but for anyo

This book is actually a tibetan manual for a dying person on how to proceed with his mind during the process. It's not a poem nor mystical metaphore about anything not related to dying. One of the translations of the original sub-title is:

"Asus, Sony and Toshiba all lead." I wonder how would this comparison look like about 5 years ago, before Thinkpads production went to that chinese Lenovo. Personally I recommend buying as an experiment an original IBM's Thinkpad, esp. T se

I'd add union/overlay filesystems are in FreeBSD since at least 6.1 and became stable ca 2007. I use this stuff quite often.

It's because they are obliged to ask these questions anyway, because someone has an idea that it'd maximize the sales.

You've touched a significant point I'd like to follow. I guess we are very responsible for the impact of the technology we create. That's why I'm saying all this stuff here - we are not mere hackers who give people the toys or tools to work
