You don't know that they haven't faced abuse like this before, you're just assuming this is the first/only case, maybe this is just the final straw. But that's also moot - people don't have a right to abuse oth

The person sending this email clearly uses the library, and yet sent this email. That person is still demanding support - they're clearly using this library [minor edit due to garbage grammar] - they're just hiding who they are be

There's absolutely an alternative, and that's what this person has done: stop providing free labor to others. There's no reason to put yourself in, or stay in, an environment where you are apparently expected to be subject to

So your advice is “accept all abuse while providing a free service to others”? Sounds like you’re on team “maintainers should be required to support me for free despite me being an asshole”

No you don’t. Try using the language in that email the next time you talk to a cashier and see how long it takes to get you escorted from the premises. The “don’t feed the trolls” or “just accept that people do this” nonsense has just meant

Which means you are making the assumption that working in an office is better, so you need to be able to back that up. I could just as easily ask why everyone is having to go to an office to accommodate people who can only work in office en

“Hybrid RTO” is still RTO. Requiring people to come to the office 3 days a week for no reason other than executives and managers getting off on control is moronic. “Hybrid” RTO has literally no benefit over RTO except for being able to say

I don’t think the anti-union is suspicious: HN has a super libertarian bent and libertarians hate unions because .. reasons?

Sounds like you would prefer a in person job. The question is not “do some people prefer offices”, the problem is “some people prefer offices and then require everyone else to be there to support them as well”

If you want to have people go to the office you need to pay them for the time to commute to that office. There is negative value to requiring people be in the office, especially given all these companies have opted for open plan BS - every

Yeah the 3rd party "we have an old tree and want to maintain it so you need to do extra work to support us, and only us, despite us being the ones getting paid" is obnoxious (the reason for maintaining old kernels seems to be inva

No, back up your data to a service independent of the service hosting what you're backing up. It reminds me of "I use box/iCloud/some-other-cloud-drive-service so don't need backups", but don't understand

Real “hunger” among the MBAs to replace all the actually skilled employees with low paid code monkeys so that mbas can make even more money. That’s the MBA model of business: don’t create anything of value just try to extract as much of the

As far as I understand it, tech (“ai”) is being used to target civilians and civilian aid so I think this is a case of the “no is the answer for most headline questions”

What faang allows remote work? What faang has average devs making 400k? (Also it remains weird to me that Netflix is considered a tech company) The reality is companies like this often use minimum cost contract companies to develop the soft

You cannot use a “fisa warrant” legally, they’re objectively unconstitutional. Conforming to the “legal requirements” means also conforming to the constitution, it doesn’t matter if someone writes a law that says you don’t need to obey the

I’m so tired of “people don’t want kids” being reported as “low fertility”. Low fertility means “people wanting kids can’t have them”, not “people are choosing not to have them”. The reality is the boomer and boomer+1 generations have made

How would publishing the source help? There are plenty of reasons that are reasonable for saying “source code should be available”, but “the software might have bugs” is not one of them.

Parsing is fun, but assuming a good baseline allocator arena allocation doesn’t get you a whole lot these days (maybe it’s better under a GC environment where tear down does not require a tree traversal?), especially if you’re able to lazil

I still don't understand why this is implemented as a "don't answer these questions" filter because that clearly just means "game the query to make it pass the ban list". Surely having a separate system run on
