What a lot of Facebook defenders on HN seem to be ignorant about is the context of the finger pointing. FB stopped being a "data sharing platform" when it muscled its way into becoming synonymous of "the internet" in muc

Are you speaking as an informed and responsible user? If so, then you disqualify. A more appropriate outlook to the situation would be to imagine Facebook as the only options that young children have. It's not just about how you use

I was recently in a small town in Myanmar where they have public electricity 4 hours a day. I noticed that most of the plugs were used to charge mobile phones, a device that many had never even seen just a mere two years ago. Now, consider

I think you're asking two questions. Why would sys admin use a cli? Think about it this way, what if instead of letters your keyboard came already attached with words you can use instead? That's the best analogy to the difference

After reading some comments pinning Flask and Django for "big" projects, I feel compelled to write my own experience. Flask is a micro-framework, but it's not a toy framework (anymore). I've used it professionally for a

To me privilege and oppression are two sides of the same coin though. No, they're not. A child may benefit from the privileges of parents' favoritism, it doesn't imply that her siblings are oppressed. Privilege and Oppressi
