Android is hardly a component. It's a fork. Systemd should also be a fork, that was the GP's opinion too, wasn't it?

Precisely. There are literal stacks of books on these matter, and I can't condense a single one of them in a HN post more than providing the facts. If you're interested, you're going to have to read them. It's dreadful,

Yes, legislation in most places specifies your number to be listed, unless you ask it to be removed. Germany was probably a bad example.

Legislative requirements, in most places. In Greece my phone number was unlisted. In Germany, my carrier notified me it was automatically placed on the <whatever-service-they-use>.

If you don't have the necessary context, I can't help.

Nice try, but it's really the same things in both comments.

No, I replied right on point. Let me spell it out: 1. No "favorable conditions" to slavery means Stowe never recognised advantages to slavery. Not only he does not, but he laments it despite those "favorable conditions".

by mfukar 10y ago
Yes, fact check. There are no "favorable conditions" to slavery. Slavery sought to find moral ground on the hypothesis that the master knew what was best for their slaves. Stowe repeatedly makes the point that even kind masters we

A stereotype is fixed and oversimplified idea of a particular thing. An example is much, much different than that.

I hope you're not implying a politician may stay true to their word.
285.
by mfukar 10y ago
Yeah, people don't need to know the truth. There are others who can make decisions based on that truth for them. Or isn't that the sort of point you were going for?

by mfukar 10y ago
Maybe not in HN. :-)

Close. Sign extension. But this is a C puzzle, so I'd get away with "undefined behaviour".

Arguing about style? I really thought that as a species we had decided it was a preference thing.

It'll take at least a decade until kernel developers are convinced that KASLR is not helping anyone, and infoleaks are defeating it on a daily basis. Here, have 3: https://twitter.com/R00tkitSMM/status/7966174

Which brings us to the end of the thought process: different people (are equipped to?) perceive situations differently & react differently. If the scouts prepared me to not be afraid of being thrown out of my home, or the army gave me t

Since you mentioned majorities, how many Linux kernel systems out there belong to parties which can afford to maintain a custom-built kernel with things like grsec integrated? Oh, wouldn't things be better if we had all that candy upst

> Also, he forgot that Elm (just like any other open source project) doesn't owe him anything. That's why many people take an issue with his tone. We can't take issue with his tone by appropriating information about Elm&#x

by mfukar 10y ago
Yes. Generally, tone policing in HN gets stronger with the passage of time. Many comments in here complain about the tone without even touching on the point.

It was exactly one comment from evancz, which says: "I don't want to readd this feature...I think it makes sense to continue discussion in this issue if you think there are valid use cases". Here [1] is the actual feature req

So what if the tone is aggressive? It's a venting piece. It says so in the second paragraph. Who cares if people bother reading it? Where it mattered - the actual github request - the tone of the discussion is right on point. People wh

Yes, you can, and the resulting code is an unreadable, unmaintainable mess after two weeks.

I think it's valid criticism. There's a (excruciating) description of a use case, (valid) attempts to build a solution, and reaching the point where someone tells you "No, you can't have that because I don't want to
