The author begins by stating that "the absolute nightmare that is opening [the X1 Carbon] up to replace parts or clean them properly" rules it out. He then eliminates the MacBook because if "something needs replacing I basica

I understand the pragmatic reasons behind such a decision, but insisting that I sign up with Google (and only Google) was an unfortunate blocker. If anything, GitHub seems like a more obvious choice for such a site.

Your comment has very little to do with your chosen quote. You're arguing that the scale of the opioid problem is a direct result of the associated laws. The quote just states that heroin is harmful to humans.

In what way? The device that immediately springs to mind is the Kindle. You can choose to buy a version without ads, or save ~10% and accept ads. That seems like a reasonable compromise.

I agree that Go is a good choice for web services. I disagree that it's the only thing Go is good at. DevOps tooling and CLI tools immediately spring to mind.

It's a marketing page primarily intended for a non-technical audience who probably don't know (or care) about the differences between Open Source and "the source is open". Flagging the post for "false advertising&qu

GP explicitly stated that they use stars to determine the popularity of a repository, not the code quality.

This may be my ignorance, but aren't most distributions [1] just an Arch / Fedora / Debian / whatever base with a desktop environment and a few opinionated choices (UI tweaks, installed applications, etc.)? [1] I reali

None of the comments I've read thus far are criticising the goals, just the figurehead.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. At least you provided a source for your comment, unlike GP.

I have no idea whether the hosting is free, but they already have an online archive [1]. Either way, "free hosting" doesn't cover the time required to produce each issue. If you're happy to do such ongoing work without r

I don't disagree with your general argument, but I do have a small nitpick with this: > If nobody can hold you accountable and punish you for it, then it's legal. Just because someone isn't punished for an act doesn't

This a common refrain on HN, frequently used to dismiss what may be perfectly legitimate concerns. It also ignores the central question of whether NPM is more vulnerable to these attacks than other package managers, and should therefore b

> So, if it's based on some random person's clients, it's not clearly better at all. Valid. I should have made it clear that I meant "clearly better from GP's perspective."
