Slave driver mentality is one reason I don't work with certain segments of the tech population.

Did you bother with the tutorial? I think a lot of people try emacs and just poke around the menus (shouldn't have the menu bar enabled by default at all IMHO) and when they get frustrated they give up. Menu's just a crutch for ne

Anybody who likes this should read the book, The ZX Spectrum ULA: How To Design A Microcomputer, which runs you through how the computer actually works.

Same is true with any computer these days. So let's go no heat sink, Pi 4 4GB anyway.

I see a lot of these making the FP of HN. But it's very difficult to be impressed, or unimpressed because it's all about hardware. How much hardware is everybody throwing at all of this? 5M persistent connections on a Pi with mere

Famously, Issac Newton also thought that the chronology was off even in his time, by at least 500-800 years. And like Fomenko, he had a mathematical basis for his theory which couldn't be refuted by any soft scientist. There are others

>So as long as your time horizon is 4+ years, it's the best savings technology you could ask for. My US Hay, Confederated Slaveholdings, and buggy whip stocks were shooting up for a long time, they must still be great investments.

NSA uses the same tricky language. Clapper got before the American people and said "nobody is reading your emails." What he didn't say is, computers are processing them because there's too many for people to read. In thi

OOOOooooooohhh this one's really drawing a lot of damage control. Simple anecdotal evidence was enough to convince me and many other people years ago that Google and Amazon, at the very least, were spying in every way possible. Why wou

I don't really get why people want to download these huge emacs configs in the first place. You're not likely going to be able to change the configuration without incurring a massive headache and apparently Spacemacs and Doom Emac

Cleaning out the bot followers of the people who Twitter likes and promotes, and removing hidden followers from the people Twitter has tried to suppress. It's very simple to understand. It'll be very interesting when Musk reveals

They failed to crack down on more than a mere fraction of it, however they did crack down on some.

Twitter's already a huge shit hole, it's just that the fascists are going to rejoin the Marxists so everybody can excrete into the common hole together. Three is no reason to believe anything will happen other than more "jour

The shadowy cabal of liberal professors (all lefties are liberals now, progressive stack can not be violated) was quite open about their plans for the future. Interestingly they work hand in hand with billionaires. Look how academics fawn o

Over ten years ago it was already obvious that Google wasn't a reliable or useful company. You're gonna be waiting a LOOOONG time.

After learning how much graft and corruption has reached from the USA to the Ukraine and back again, I'm sure I don't want to help. We don't have a single congress person whose kid isn't on some Ukrainian gas company boa

I don't care for punk and it's no longer seen as rebellious, it's a strip mall fixture more than anything counterculture these days. Blue haired grannies shouting at you for using the wrong pronouns are who I think of when I

Laundry list of terrible stuff. Let's Encrypt is a headache and roots your box. Concurrency was solved eons ago with common libraries widely used today. Erlang has had it as a design requirement since the beginning. Centering in CSS! H
