This is so frustrating, I generally expected the Hacker News community to observe a more sophisticated take on this topic. Let's get it straight: the other Big Tech companies have done this CSAM scanning for many, many years. Their use

In turn I get what you are saying, but in this case it is not a trivial problem. CSV files seem simple on the surface but there are all sorts of gotchas. For example, there's plenty of variation between platforms/applications when

So many of these posts gainsaying the practice of a home lab are spot on. In my view it's plain foolish to try and cram enterprise gear into a living space. It's almost too hot and loud for my office, why would I take any of that

perhaps you are misconstruing the proportions here? I suspect the vast majority of the users plonk down after work to look for a show. they are tired and they don't want to put a lot of effort into selecting the show or even paying att

I for one ain't bothered: It's clear to me that Apple needs tools to engineer these spectacular devices and there would be little or no sense to them designing away the power of MacOS and landing on a product range limited to simp

At risk of being that 'Yer doing it wrong' guy... I really find that the best approach is using the mbp for browsing, email, occasional graphics work. And then living mostly in iterm connecting to Linux boxes. This way I can avoid

Pshaw! Win95/98 was a masterpiece. Perhaps you forget that a 66mhz 486 has about 1/50th the compute power of a raspberry pi. Yet this 'horrible' software that vexed you so was able to run there, hosting web browsers, pho

Honestly, can you support that nasty claim without revealing that you have only a vague understanding that he did some wacky thing called 4'33"? Frankly, your lack of citation and supportive reasoning does more to validate the Dun

I don't know much about "Neo-classical economist" circles, but you seemed to be saying something about comparisons to Valve's Steam product. Beyond that, it only seemed like you might be implying the entitlement to sell

Are you implying that you feel entitled to sell software on Apple's tightly controlled consumer devices?

I'm for su-dough - to my ear it evokes the martial art Judo which makes some kind of sense considering what it does. On the other hand Soo Doo sounds like a pig farmer's wife calling the swine in for their slop. To my ear ;)

This speaks more to the narrowness of your view than it does about shell. Example: I work with parallel filesystems quite a lot. Often I will need to parse through GB of logs spread across a cluster to track down a particular sequence of ev

This sounds just like someone calling up McClaren or Ferrari and demanding an MSRP on one of their Formula-1 cars... and screaming RACISM if they don't have an immediate answer. Systems like this are not just sitting on a shelf with a

The problem here is that you are taking a simplified layman's description, making naive assumptions about it and then brazenly dismissing the whole of contemporary cosmology as if you have profound insights that went completely over th

fair enough, I was being more flip than the parent comment warranted. embarrasingly, I can't seem to figure out how to edit a comment so leaving this here: OP: I am sorry for harshing ya. I shouldn't be so dang cranky. cheers. * E

thanks for the pep talk! Just typing it all out was pretty cathartic, getting a positive response in return gave a lil burst of renewed confidence. thx :)

I ain't, that's for sure. I recently quit my job (HPC) without another one lined up, due entirely to stress. Something had to give and I decided that if I wasn't able to manage the stress I wasn't fit for the job any mor

as for "content of character", you have been presented with the mechanism of the oppression and still argue vehemently against remediation or protections. Juust so you are aware, this all extends far beyond questions of race, not

* The laws we are talking about are to mitigate abuse and oppression by a majority. * You seem especially vitriolic in defending the status quo. * The status quo is full of examples wherein a minority group is unfairly impacted. * You are

yours would best be described as the 'naive' take on the situation, and rests on a false premise. These minorities need 'help' in that a majority is going to be self-interested and lacking compassion or any sort of integ

With all due respect, what you seem to be saying here is that you can't understand why UX is important to the target audience... A professional artist has to be able to work swiftly and reliably. Gimp's rough interface and stabili
