Sparta can also refer to the entire state. I think you're making a fuss out of nothing. Also, Sparta wasn't just Spartiates and helots, you're forgetting about mothakes and perioikoi.

Interesting idea, but it obviously gives the most power to whomever does the categorization. BTW, the problem presented in this post is very common, but it's only relevant for less interesting topics (which are most topics). In cases w

The article is too fluffy to bother reading, and it seems like it may be just attacking straw men. TLDR, maybe; with interesting facts, if any?

How can you blame a kernel panic on an unprivileged userspace program? That doesn't make sense. I.e., Firefox can maybe trigger a kernel panic, but the blame lies either with the kernel or, indeed, with defective hardware.

Because it's a pain in the ass with no security benefit in general. What attackers would it protect you from?

I agree with you (obviously), but I'm not sure we should invoke "descriptivism vs prescriptivism" here. As far as I understand that distinction is mostly applicable to English (or other natural language) teaching, which is us

Note that this "regex", unlike the ones in the article, is not actually a regular expression. You could perhaps call it an irregular expression. There can be no such thing as a backreference in a regular expression. More info: ht

Are you sure? As far as I understand, it may happen that everybody stops using the old interface (the distros choose what they compile into their kernels, I guess), and after a few years of that the kernel maintainers may decide to remove t

Off-topic, but another option for visualizing networks is Graphia. It's a qt5 program that can use the GPU to display pretty large graphs in 3D. https://github.com/graphia-app/graphia https://graphia.ap

The always present whining on HN against Wikipedia's core policies like verifiability and notability perplexes me. Surely most people here are familiar with the notion of maintainability? Insisting on verifiability and notability are m

You're missing the point. You're just throwing insults around (again in this comment), without even letting HN readers know what are you referring to. Why do you think Rob Pike is an arrogant prick, or insufferable? Also note th
